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.

The renovation of a rooftop garden in Manhattan, NYC, starts with surveying the area, then sketching the plan. The plan includes every detail, from existing furnishing up to add-ons or garden upgrades such as, benches and Ipe clad custom planter boxes, which are perfect for get-togethers held in rooftop garden to see the unique cityscape. Together with New York Plantings Irrigation Specialist expertise, the team drafts the plan for irrigation system installation. New York Plantings Outdoor Carpenters then starts the demolition of old deck tiles to prepare for rooftop overhaul, making sure that the whole area is clear. When area is ready, premade Ipe deck tiles are transported then the foundations are assembled according to area measurement and are built to be elevated for irrigation system purposes. After base set-up, Ipe deck tiles are fasten with stainless steel binds to ensure stability. Custom planter boxes with Ipe fascia cladding are then built and placed according to the garden design and specification. New York Plantings Horticulturist then starts to lay off their expertise in embedding the rooftop garden with suitable plants, herbs, and flora in place (especially in custom planter boxes). New York Plantings Outdoor Carpenters then finishes off with Ipe deck oil application making the rooftop renovation complete- spick and span.

Completed Backyard Renovation Including a Beautiful Foreverlawn

Who loves a beautifully designed and installed Asian inspired yard renovation? Well, everyone does . . .  and here is a picture to prove it!

Celebrating their newly renovated yard & ForeverLawn installed by New York Plantings Garden Design

Demo is never pretty!

The crew at New York Plantings Garden Design really enjoyed this “full-service” backyard project – from demolition to completely renovated living space, we used our vast experience and skills to upgrade this New York City backyard to a place for family and friends to enjoy for years to come.

First we cleared the yard and our professional masonry crew laid a beautiful bluestone patio.

Bluestone is a wonderful option for patios

Professional design plans on beautiful IPE fence

We added irrigation for the new plants and continued the renovation with a wonderful custom IPE hardwood slat fence. I have to say, I consider IPE to be one of the best hardwoods for most outdoor construction projects. To learn more about this quality product click here.

We also added low voltage garden and landscape lighting, which supports our “go green” philosophy of garden and landscape design. We added custom built planter boxes and an array of colorful foliage around the property.

We installed a beautiful artificial turf called “forever lawn.” Made by DuPont, this synthetic grass really does have the “unmatched realism” they talk about on their website. After working with it, it was still hard for me to believe it wasn’t real grass when I stood back to get an overall view of the finished rear yard project. If you’re interested in installing this low maintenance, long lasting synthetic grass, you can contact Todd Nappi, owner of New York Plantings Garden Design (347)558-7051.

Materials Used by New York Plantings: IPE Hardwood Lumber

Ipe (pronounced: Eee-pay) is a Brazilian hardwood that has become popular in the past decade and is a common material used by New York Plantings in their landscape structures including their custom planter boxes for both commercial and residential properties. The durability of this wood is hard to ignore for builders, especially landscape professionals who are looking for a strong, long-lasting building material.

Ipe is so dense some people say it has the strength of steel. It can last 25+ years outdoors without being treated. It is 100% natural and it resists surface scratches. Sounds great, right? Well, it is also mold, fire weather and pest-resistant. With these properties, it’s easy to see why it has become so popular!

Known by many names throughout the world* this wood is most commonly used for outdoor furniture, decks, gazebos, pergolas, planter boxes, structures for garden walls, and fencing. Ipe wood products contain no added harmful chemicals, so it is safe around people, pets and water.

Ipe hardwood is typically a reddish brown color that can also include a olive tinge with some light and dark striping, sometimes exhibiting a look similar to a dark to olive-brown tinged teak wood. The grain can have quite a bit of variation.

Ipe lumber can be difficult to work with, so it is not ideal for the “weekend (do-it-yourself) warrior.” Since the wood is so strong it is often necessary to pre-drill holes and it easily blunts cutting edges on the tools used to cut it and carpenters need to be prepared to go through a lot of drill bits! It may be a little difficult to work with, but the durability, beauty, smooth sanded finish, and no splintering feature of this hardwood makes this material ideal for any professional outdoor build.

New York Plantings is now pleased to offer the design, construction and installation of custom planter boxes in the New York area. Previously available only to New York Plantings Garden Design customers, we will now provide this service to anyone in need of these durable, attractive and useful planters. Call us at 347-558-7051 for custom planters and all your garden design and landscape needs.

New York Plantings - Planter Boxes & Container Gardens

Container gardens and planter boxes are wonderful additions to any urban garden. They can be both decorative and allow for ease-of-use planting on terraces, rooftops, patios and decks. These days there are plenty of different styles and colors of containers to meet any design aesthetic, but when considering which containers to buy, it’s also important to choose containers that are sturdy and will not crack or break after only a season or two.

Cheap plastic or thin terra cotta planters may work as a quick and inexpensive answer to your last minute planting dilemma, but they will most likely crack or break when exposed to the sun or extreme weather (sometimes even with the weight of the dirt and plants they were meant to contain!), so what you thought was a bargain may end up costing you in damaged plants, time dealing with a dirty mess on your patio, the effort of replanting and the cost of a replacement container of a higher quality after your costly “lesson learned.”

Thicker terra cotta, measuring at least ½” to 1” thick is a better choice as well as outdoor quality glazed pots, fiberglass, metal and concrete blends. All of these options reduce the possibility of the containers cracking or breaking. When purchasing any of these pots make sure to check each pot for signs of the kind of damage that would accompany each specific material including: hairline cracks, improperly joined seams, warping, dents or rust. Beyond the construction of the containers, drainage holes need to be considered. All dirt-rooted plants need drainage. Making a drainage hole in the pot may be necessary to prevent overwatering and root rot. It is also necessary to fill the bottom of your planter with approximately 1” of pebbles to keep your plants healthy and the drainage holes clear of dirt.

These are great options for scattering a few decorative plants around a deck or terrace, but what about planting on a larger scale? Often terraces, patios and rooftops can accommodate larger-scale planting beds that can add the drama of a stunning visual feature. Also, the health benefits from air-filtering plants can help you save energy and can even be a source of fresh vegetables for the dinner table!

It is this need for larger planters that first motivated Todd Nappi of New York Plantings Garden Design to start designing and building custom planters for his New York area customers. “Designing and building our own custom planters frees us to be more creative in our design plans. We no longer have to work around the sizes and shapes of planters available in retail stores. Especially working in the city where space is at a premium, being able to customize the planters to our customer’s individual area allows us to take advantage of all the space available to us and adds a deeper level of customization.”

We make the boxes from IPE hardwood, one of the strongest woods on the planet, lasting more than 25 years outdoors without treatment. Some compare its strength to that of steel! All boxes come lined with marine grade ¾” plywood and then epdm for durability and design versatility.

Take a look around the city and you will probably see some of the planters built by our carpenters at New York Plantings Garden Design & Landscape Construction. Our work can be seen on balconies, rooftop gardens, under pergolas, on terraces, holding climbing vines for vertical walls, restaurant fronts as well as custom indoor planters. Some of our favorites? Cube-style and rectangular planters that add drama and wonderful functionality! Of course, we’d be happy to deliver and install retail provided containers and planters too. Custom building planters just adds another option to your design possibilities.

Knowing Your Hardiness Zone: Garden Planting Zones / Frost Zones & Dates

One of the essential first steps in planting a successful garden is to know your area’s hardiness zone, also sometimes called a garden planting zone or frost zone. A hardiness zone gives key information about the lowest temperatures plants in your area will need to withstand. You will need to match this hardiness zone number with plant varieties to find out when to plant in the spring. This will also help you determine how long the growing season is in your area to determine which plants will grow most successfully.

Just type in your zip code to find your hardiness zone number and then match it against the map. Is your area centered on the zone or is your garden on a border of the zones? It’s important to interpret the information for best results. A hardiness zone indicator is an approximation. Yearly weather patterns may vary, but as a general guide it can be very helpful.

Average Minimum Winter Temperature of USA

Once you have your hardiness zone number, you can also look at these estimates of last expected frost dates. Of course, since it is only an estimate you should also consider recent temperature trends and weather forecasts.

Last Expected Spring Frost Dates by Zone • Zone 1: June1 – June 30
• Zone 2: May 1 – May 31
• Zone 3: May 1 – May31
• Zone 4: May 1 – May31
• Zone 5: March 30 – April30
• Zone 6: March 30 – April30
• Zone 7: March 30 – April30
• Zone 8: February 28 – March 30
• Zone 9: January 30 – February 28
• Zone 10: January 1 – January 31
• Zone 11 Frost Free Year Round

After your seedlings are planted, you need to watch the weather. If there is a frost warning in your area, you need to cover each of your seedlings with a 2 liter plastic bottle with the bottom cut out.

This beginning stage of planting takes some work, but when you are enjoy fresh-from-the-garden vegetables and flowers later in the year, it will be well with the initial effort in educating yourself about your hardiness zone so you can properly care for your seedlings.

New York Plantings Garden Design - Ideas for Rooftop Gardens

Rooftop Garden – a rooftop garden is any type of garden created on top of a building. As expected with any open space there are many varieties of rooftop gardens and motivations for installing them.

Rooftop gardens can be beautiful, relaxing sanctuaries with pergolas/gazebos, arbors, leisure areas with outdoor furniture and garden lighting and can be designed with custom planters, decks and patios.




In addition verticalgardens, green walls, landscapes lighting or an Asian garden design can add a unique and personalized look to your rooftop garden. Rooftop gardens are one of the most flexible ways to add living space in the city. Here are a few inspirations of the types of rooftop retreats that New York Plantings Garden Design can build for you:

Container gardens, where garden plants are grown in pots and planters, are also a popular rooftop addition.

Another type of rooftop garden often called a green roof or living roof, can partially or completely cover a rooftop with plants with appropriate layering of a waterproof lining an irrigation system and drainage.

Green roofs are built with environmental benefits in mind including absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating habitats for wildlife and to help lower urban air temperatures, lessening the heat island effect (when an urban area is significantly warmer than nearby rural areas due to materials that retain heat and “waste heat” generated by energy consumption).

A great resource for both residential and commercial buildings, New York Plantings Garden Design is ready to discuss the benefits of your rooftop “Going Green.” Additionally, green roofs can be helpful in managing energy costs, helping to control building temperatures and they can also be designed to serve as a source of home grown foods.

New York Plantings Garden Design has recently finished a beautiful rooftop garden complete with custom built planters, blue stone pavers, hardwood patio, and grassy area with sprinklers and drainage.

Vertical Gardens Provide Beauty and Function

Vertical Garden –  a vertical garden, known also as a green façade, a green wall, a living wall or a bio wall is one way to maximize the use of garden space while adding beauty to any wall structure. When planted on the side of a house, they are not only beautiful to the eye but also serve to bring down energy costs due to the insulating properties of having a garden covering an outside wall of the home.

Vertical Gardens are great for urban environments too! Where areas for planting gardens are harder to come by as well as being wonderful for the environment and helping to improve air quality. When planted on dividing walls between houses it also helps to absorb noise making for a quieter community. Since this is such a great all purpose garden idea, New York Plantings has provided a “How to” video on installing lattice for growing wall ivy:

Especially in the New York area serviced by New YorkPlantings Garden Design, vertical gardens are an often requested addition to both new garden and landscaping designs as well as renovations where a new look with functional features like noise reduction, covering of older structures or increased cooling is paramount. Planting a “green wall” is an easy, inexpensive addition to any garden project.

In these difficult economic times one business reality holds true, the certainty that if you provide an essential service, work hard and treat your customers well your business will thrive. Todd Nappi owner of New York Plantings lives by this philosophy and so it is no wonder his business is “blooming.” It is, therefore, appropriate that Todd has chosen spring, the time of growth, to announce the expansion of his company to include New York Plantings Irrigation and Lighting, which is devoted to irrigation and lighting design and installation.

Lawn Sprinklers Maintain a Healthy Lawn

“We build irrigation and lighting into all of our garden design plans and installations, so it was a natural progression to create a new division of New York Plantings dedicated to irrigation and lighting so we can offer those services to customers who need support for their existing landscaping,” offers Todd Nappi. “Of course we all know how important irrigation is to maintain the health and vitality of our plants, but what many people don’t know is that the science of irrigation has made vast improvements in the past few years. Automatic sprinkler systems are not the only option and, although we install, service and maintain sprinkler systems, we also offer drip irrigation that provides directed water that is great for the plants, the environment and your wallet too.

Lighting Provides Ambiance to Outdoor Settings

It used to be that garden lighting was a luxury, but as people in the city are looking for more space and creating living areas outside, lighting has become a necessity in areas such as rooftop retreats, terrace gardens, around pergolas, pools and decks. Lighting is a great way to add beauty and drama to your property, improve safety and extend the use of your outdoor areas. Using energy saving light bulbs helps us in our effort to “Go Green,” as we keep environmental factors in mind when we design, install and maintain our customers’ landscaping.

Design, Installation and Maintenance of Landscape Lighting in The NY Metro Area by New York Plantings

Commercial Urban Outdoor Lighting combines the best of Garden Lighting and Architectural Lighting to add drama and ambiance, safety and extended use to any public area. Although planning for Commercial Urban Outdoor Lighting has similarities with the planning and design of residential garden lighting, there are many differences as well.

Goals for Our Client- The first difference between residential and commercial lighting addresses the goals of the commercial property owners and integrates the setting and visibility of the location where the lights will be installed. Are you, as the property owner, trying to draw people in from the outside, displaying the beauty and ambiance of your property? Is the goal of the lighting design a tangible, dramatic invitation to join in a trendy, upscale or classic urban experience? Or, is this a secluded space intended as an urban retreat for fortunate residents? The needs of the commercial property owner are always forefront in the mind of our Professional Lighting Designer, Todd Nappi, as he creates a striking plan for your public garden, terrace, building entrance, courtyard, dining or lounge area, fountain or other water feature. New York Planting Irrigation & Lighting’s ultimate objective is to meet our client’s goals for the property.

Defining the Space- Another difference we encounter is the need to understand all the possible uses for the area. Although a subtle feature, lighting helps define the use of outdoor public spaces. I say, “possible uses,” because as a public space you have to anticipate all the different ways people may use the space beyond what you envision. Just because your dream when planning the space is of a wide, well-lit garden walkway where people move through without stopping does not mean people will not want to stop in a serene space and enjoy the beauty of a well-lit garden or fountain, stop to rest or sit and chat with a colleague, make a phone call or text with a friend. A professionally designed lighting scheme, using light and shadow, illumination in otherwise darkened areas and the use of lighting to evoke emotion can all have an effect on how people experience and utilize Commercial Urban Outdoor spaces. We can help make the utilization of the space intuitive to your clients through our sophisticated and well thought-out lighting design techniques.

Goals for Your Clients- Of course one of the pleasures of designing lighting for a public space is knowing the enjoyment people will get when seeing and interacting in a creatively designed, artistically lit outdoor area created by New York Plantings Irrigation & Lighting. Of course, we consider the safety and security of nighttime guests by making the lighting functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. In order to achieve these goals, it’s important for us to understand who your clients or customers are, so we can further develop the aesthetic image you have for your company.

Earth Friendly- Finally, New York Plantings Irrigation and Lighting is always concerned with the Environmental Impact of any project we undertake. Our goal of “Going Green” has us considering energy efficiency to ensure that light is not wasted by over-illumination or timer issues. Our increased use of Solar Power, Low Voltage Fixtures, Energy Efficient Lights, Superior Timers, Light Sensor Switches and Creative Lighting Design all play a part in protecting our environment.

New York Plantings Irrigation & Lighting offers the finest in Commercial Urban Outdoor Lighting.

Landscape Lighting Adds Beauty and Functionality to Any Outdoor Area

Outdoor lighting for both safety and elegance 

Landscape Lighting also referred to as Garden Lighting and sometimes combined with Architectural Lighting refers to the use of Outdoor Lighting of private gardens as well as commercial and public landscape and grounds. Lighting Design and Lighting Installation incorporate several factors including ambiance or aesthetic impact (a factor particularly important in the lighting of public spaces), safety and the extended, after dark, use of outdoor areas.

Pool area lighting

At New York Plantings Irrigation and Lighting our process starts by determining our client’s intended use for the outdoor area. We first make sure that we design ample lighting for the intended purpose of the space, but just as important, we talk to our clients about the mood they want to set. “Is this area an attractive walkway with garden features or is the area meant for stopping and socializing? Is it a contained area or is it meant to be visible from a distance? Are there featured plants? A sitting area?” 

Extended night time use of outdoor areas 

We ask a lot of questions, but that is an important part of the process of defining and meeting the needs of our clients. The visual aspect of lighting includes the attractive scattering of light and shadow, the illumination of otherwise dark areas and the highlighting of both the figure and form of the plants which can create a captivating environment for all who visit your professionally designed Outdoor Garden.

Lights highlighting outdoor features

Outdoor Lighting often includes multiple lighting features in one garden area including Path Lighting, Area Lighting, Uplights, Wall Lighting, Building Lights, Tree-mount Lights (Down Lights), Deck Lighting, Well Lighting and Hardscape Lighting, Step Lights, Pond Lighting, Fountain Lights, Rail Lighting, Rope Lights, and Twinkle Lights.

Landscape lighting adds warmth and safety to homes

Several different types of lighting can be combined to create a beautiful accent to any outdoor garden. Outdoor lighting is especially effective in pool, pond and fountain areas, pergolas, courtyards, decks, rooftop terrace retreats, container gardens, walkways, trellises – really anywhere you want to set a mood by highlighting your garden, plants and hardscape!

Contemporary solar path lighting

Finally, New YorkPlantings Irrigation and Lighting is always concerned with the Environmental Impact of any project we undertake. Our goal of “Going Green” has us considering energy efficiency to ensure that light is not wasted by over-illumination or timer issues. Our increased use of Solar Power, Low Voltage Fixtures, Energy Efficient Lights, Superior Timers, Light Sensor Switches and Creative Lighting Design all play a part in protecting our planet.

Lighting accentuates courtyard spaces

At New York Plantings Irrigation and Lighting our Lighting Designer, Todd Nappi, understands the importance of the utilitarian function of lighting, the importance of protecting our environment as well as the need for aesthetic appeal and he understands the emotions evoked by high-quality lighting when people enjoy your beautifully Illuminated Garden.
