New York Plantings Ipe Deck Renovation: Revolution and Innovation




When people around the world think of New York, aside from being called “The City that Never Sleeps”, the first words in mind would be skyscrapers, high buildings and modernized residences (also known as condominiums) usually associated with New York lifestyle. With the business-like atmosphere surrounding the city, the posh of fashion grandees, elites and business tycoons, it’s no wonder that New York could not be imagined as a “home” matched with suburban reveries or perhaps Hawaiian-like ambiences because the hustle and bustle (perhaps in Time Square, you know in Midtown Manhattan) lingers distinction in New York City. But New Yorkers, nowadays, try to dismiss such notion and make the greatest efforts to show off the world that NYC is the place to live, nothing more you can ask for. The current trend of homeowners or businesses to have a place more pleasing to the senses is utilizing the space (terraces, front yard, back yard, alley or even sidewalks) they have and have it transformed to a once-fantasized garden to reality, and subconsciously having this environmental awareness by advocating plant and flower cultivations in their residences (yes folks, “go green”). A lot of people now have been in service of New York’s Master Gardeners as another masterpiece by New York Plantings Garden Designers and Landscape Contractors has done it again in one of the rooftop penthouses in Manhattan, NYC- renovation of Ipe deck with customized planter box ornamented with green plants.

Crucial Steps We Take Before Starting Your Garden and Landscape Design Project


New York Plantings Garden Designers and Landscape Contractors offers a wide range of services – not just for ground work but for rooftops, penthouses, terraces and any other place you may need garden designs. However, you may be wondering how we do our work.

After the general consultation, rooftop garden designers and specialists do not just rush right away to work on the project. There is a tedious but very important procedure that has to be done before everything else is commenced.

Photos and Hand Measurements

Before starting everything else, the garden and landscape designers will visit your area and look at the place. Hand measurements of the area will be taken as well as photos to ensure that everything is taken into consideration.

This part is very crucial because the dimensions and overall look of the area should be considered before finally rendering the design, which will be followed during the construction.
This is to make sure that all installations will fit the area – avoiding problems when working.

3D Garden Design Rendering

After the dimensions and photographs are taken, our rooftop garden designers will consult with different members of the team, including an Ipe specialist and member of the irrigation and landscape lighting division in order to create the perfect plan for your penthouse, rooftop garden or terrace. The design of course will also be based on your preference and instructions. The plan will be detailed and will include the placements for trees, plants, flowers, custom planters, landscape lighting, water features and of course – drip irrigation.

Once the plan is in order, they will create a 3D rendering of the plan, which will help depict the overall look of the area. Doing this helps achieve realistic appearance of the architecture, allowing you to see the physical conditions of your penthouse, rooftop or terrace beautification project even before it is built.

Rendering also allows workers to easily visualize the goal of the project in order to minimize problems and mistakes in outdoor carpentry and installation, so you can be sure to expect the results that you want.

New York Plantings specializing in Asian Garden design takes these initial steps very seriously to make sure that each project is well planned and well executed. While they specialize in custom rooftop and outdoor garden, they also feature other services like construction of decks, pergolas, trellises, gazebos, fences, custom planter boxes, Ipe deck refinishing and other indoor and outdoor work.

With the choice in recognizing Ipe wood’s strength and its longevity of a guaranteed 20 years even without preservation, maintaining its physical quality still needs to be given importance.

All woods gray. When Ipe and other hardwood embellishments are not finished or have not been maintained properly, the pigment would wither over time. For Ipe, a very dense and pressly grained wood, refinishing is therefore important to maintain the rich brown and red-amber hues; it would not just make over the intensity of the wood’s surface color but it would also protect and even extend the life of your Ipe decks.
