LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR URBAN SPACES

For 20 years, we’ve designed, built, and planted gardens across New York City. We love the energy of this city and the quiet you can find just inside your door. From Brooklyn backyards to NYC rooftop terraces, we create gardens shaped by the way you live and the place you call home.

Backyard Design

Bring your backyard into everyday life. From Brooklyn gardens to Manhattan brownstone yards, Outside Space NYC creates welcoming spaces for quiet mornings, family time, and evenings with friends. Thoughtful layouts, layered planting, and practical details make each garden feel personal and easy to enjoy.

Every space is different. We design gardens around the architecture, light and character of each location—creating outdoor spaces that feel considered, natural and made to be lived in.

Every garden we create is highly individual. We embrace experimentation and play, creating spaces that evolve naturally over time. Our goal is to give clients not only a beautiful garden, but the knowledge and confidence to understand it, care for it, and enjoy how it changes through the seasons.

Terrace Design

A thoughtfully designed terrace brings outdoor living into your city home. Outside Space NYC designs and installs terraces with lush planting, distinctive containers, and inviting spaces to dine, entertain, or unwind.

Each design responds to your terrace’s light, wind, privacy, and views, as well as how you want to use it. From a small private terrace to an expansive rooftop, we create gardens that complement your home and feel personal to you.

Courtyard Design

Turn an enclosed outdoor space into a garden with its own character. Outside Space NYC designs courtyards with planting, containers, and seating suited to the light and layout. Whether it’s a private retreat or a shared entrance, we create inviting spaces that complement the surrounding architecture.
