Black Locust Wood Adds Longevity to Landscaped Asian Garden Design

For a new greenroof project, we traveled around the corner to Long Island to pick up some Black Locust wood, which is milled specifically for us. Whether your dream landscape is residential or commercial, New York Plantings is proud to source the bulk of our wood locally. From wooden patios to pergolas, custom planters, storage boxes and more, it is part of our passion to find the highest quality materials from distributors we know and trust.

A Pile of Black Locust woods in Long Island

Black Locust natively grows in the southern part of North America, but is so amenable to climate change that it is frequently grown and used up north. It is particularly durable and resistant to rot, which makes it a great wood for our masons and specialists to work with. It is also a very pleasing yellowish color, with close grains. It looks stunning in all forms of Asian Garden Design.

It is the perfect wood to use in outdoor landscaping projects, such as roof decks, pre-made fences, utility fan covers, and decorative wooden pergolas, as treated Black Locust can last up to 50 years without significant decay. Our master carpenters count on its ease of use and stability. In fact, Black Locust is so strong that it is often used on ships, and has a long history of being the material of choice for many carpenters throughout history. Even Abraham Lincoln used it!

Unlike chemically treated wood, Black Locust blends seamlessly, almost Zen-like, into any Asian Garden. New York Plantings’ main priority is to create a landscape that is both attractive, and long lasting, which is why we rely on Black Locust wood. It is a preferred alternative to endangered woods, or other tropical species, and is hands down one of the most sustainable woods you can use.

Get A Green Roof Themed Rooftop Garden With New York Plantings

In New York, where most buildings have access to rooftops, roofdecks and balconies, it can be difficult to enjoy the greenery without having to go to a nearby park.

That does not have to be the case, though. As long as you have an empty concrete space at home, you can have that turned into a wonderful garden, which you can definitely enjoy. New York Plantings Garden Design – a New York Based design, irrigation and landscape company specializing in Asian Garden Design – can do that for you.

How Is The Work Done?

To make the concept a reality New York Plantings Garden Design, irrigation and Landscape contracting crews work together to build you your perfect rooftop garden. First, we consult with you and assess the area that you plan to have designed. Then, they collaborate with an innovative landscape architect to do the design for you. Specializing in Asian Garden Design, New York Plantings garden designs are made with your specifications, and in turn, to utilize the experience and skills of New York Plantings. Once the design is done and approved, they begin working to build you your dream garden oasis.

What Do They Offer?

New York Plantings often provides a variety of services, which include garden design, outdoor carpentry such as pergolas and decks, masonry, stonework, patios, irrigation,landscape lighting, custom planters, IPE-made products, custom fence, and contracting services. They are specializing in Asian Garden Design and also strive to provide a greenroof feel to your rooftop.

What Materials Do You Use?

New York Plantings Garden Design makes use of top-of-the-line materials and techniques to make sure that you get only the best. First, they mark and layout the hardscape foundation making use of cement, stonework, bricks and similar materials.

Miradrain 9000

Of course, a rooftop garden definitively needs the right drain system. This is where the Miradrain 9000 comes into action. Miradrain is the industry leader in creating geocomposite sheet drains, and the 9000 is a high compressive-strength horizontal sheet drain. The drain utilizes drip irrigation as it is designed to retain water in the roof while channeling out the excess to the roof’s drainage system. In lieu of drainage gravel, the Miradrain 9000 is used with a drainage board that prevents passage of particles, which can choke or block the drainage system.

Aside from that, Miradrain 9000 is specially designed to absorb and spread the load of heavy items like soil-filled planter boxes in order to keep the roof membrane protected. The drain mat is laid out first before they install anything else.

For decking materials, we make use of Black Locust hardwood, pieces of which are custom milled for the project. Black Locust hardwood is extremely durable, hard and resistant; making sure it stands the outdoor weather. Marine grade plywood are used for custom planters, decking and other support parts.

With these materials, they can achieve a real-life garden right on your rooftop. While they are located in NYC, New York Plantings also caters to Long Island, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester Areas and even NJ and Connecticut clients.

The Truth about Drip Irrigation Systems for Rooftop Gardens

When it comes to effective irrigation, drip irrigation systems have been the choice of many. But for those with rooftop gardens, there are often some hesitations in employing this method of irrigation as there are various concerns to be dealt with, including leaks and water pooling, among others. The truth is, rooftop drip irrigation system suffers the same risks as usual irrigation; the trick is getting a proper drip irrigation installation service. Here are a few of the common misconceptions about rooftop drip irrigation and how they are easily managed.

A steady trend in landscaping and garden design is the rooftop garden. Being at the forefront of urban agriculture, it has been extensively employed in both for residential and corporate gardening. But what may come as a surprise for some is that this planting technique has actually been all the rage for centuries. It is therefore no surprise that there are already a myriad of ways to manage them—the best of which is drip irrigation. Although this type of irrigation system is widely used in typical garden structures, some have admitted to having qualms about applying the same technique to their rooftop garden. Will leaks be common? What about incidents of water pooling? What happens if the pump malfunctions? These are but a few questions raised by those who have considered drip irrigation systems for their rooftop gardens. And the most sensible answer to that is that all these risks are not limited to rooftop gardens only. These are events that can occur to any form of planting, but above all, the chances of these happening are low with the right drip irrigation installers and effective drainage system.

Water Pooling

The downside of rooftop gardens is that they’re quite vulnerable to harsh weather conditions. Heavy storms may result to water pooling and snowfall may ultimately damage the system. However, these are highly preventable with proper drainage paths. Hence, water pooling during a strong downpour does not necessarily indicate a problem in irrigation but most likely in drainage. In addition, water puddles easily evaporate once the sun is out.

As for the threats of winter, there’s nothing to worry about as the drip irrigation system are shut down during such season.

Leakage

Leakages are inherently inevitable but it should be relieving to know that any leak that may occur does not lead to catastrophic proportions.  After all, the amount of water running through the system are minimal, approximately 1/3 of that of regular garden hoses.

Pump Failure

This shouldn’t be a major concern as not all drip irrigation systems rely on or even utilize pumps to function effectively. It is only landscape and garden constructions without direct water access that would require pumps for its external water reservoir.

The fact is that drip irrigation systems are not at all complex which explains why the landscaping and garden design industry is brimming with contractors. But while the installation is easy, maintenance isn’t. Therefore, it is only wise that the key aspect to check when selecting landscape and garden specialists is the sustainability of their service. Furthermore, it is best to opt for a single contractor for both garden and irrigation services for a more unified system and consistent quality.

Drip Emitter

New York Plantings offers a comprehensive service, specializing in landscaping, garden design, and most recently, lighting and irrigation. They have a more distinct approach in rooftop drip irrigation in that unlike other irrigation companies with poorly designed root systems, the garden specialists in New York Plantings Irrigation and Lighting Company install drip emitters more strategically to deliver precise amounts of water to the plant’s root zone. As a testament to the quality of their irrigation and garden services, the New York Plantings Irrigation and Lighting Company is responsible for the largest drip irrigation installs in New York City.

Searching for the right garden design and landscaping company is an arduous task. The industry is practically swarmed with different companies with different offerings.

New York Plantings Garden and Landscape Construction: Ipe Hardwood Deck Refinishing

Ipe hardwood is known for its durability and long-lasting attributes that makes it one of the best materials for home and garden decking. 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. What draws Ipe hardwood restoration challenging is because of its high-oil content density and other withering characteristics commonly caused by weather damages or even deteriorating finishes. New York Plantings has been providing Ipe hardwood refinishing in Manhattan, New York, up to Long Island yielding overwhelming results in maintaining and even restoring your Ipe furnishings making it look new. And New York Plantings will make sure to preserve the majestic beauty of the hardwood and bring you back in awe with this magnificent hardwood at your own place.

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. New York Planting’s Ipe hardwood deck refinishing service includes thorough deck cleansing with soap and water to remove all accumulated dirt and other unwanted substances brought by atmospheric condition change; these could contribute to the fast decay of your wood decks and should be eradicated. The service then finishes with Ipe deck oil application in its surface that will not just make your Ipe hardwood furnishings look new but could make it last for up to 100 years!

Sprinkler Shutdowns: New York Plantings Irrigation and Lighting Division Winterizing Service

Ah, yes, the cold breeze of winter is already lingering in the walks of New York and it seems that the leaves have given up their grip in that good old oak tree in Central Park, NYC. It’s the time of the year again, when the harshness of nature strikes with its chilling embrace to New York residences. And probably you are now thinking of your lawn, and if your sprinklers could survive until spring; so, you are now formulating methods as to how would you avoid the seemingly inevitable damage of your sprinkler pipes and probably you are reading manuals (even “how to” blogs perhaps) on how to winterize your gardening equipment. Well, given that they offer step by step instructions and even lay off tips to make it look like you can do it yourself, but still most of them would really tell you it is not recommended and the best move is hire a licensed irrigation contractor for your maintenance needs for your drip irrigation maintenance, blowouts, shutdowns or probably, you may need other irrigation services. So instead of tiring yourself thinking you could save a penny through your own hard work but, fate as it always play, would make you realize your own “money saver act” had given you another expensive leap of repair and voila, a gigantic replacement cost; just hire someone to do the job, less hassle, less costly don’t you think?

Sprinkler Shutdown is important to prevent damage of underground pipelines because basically, frozen water could cause pipes to rupture resulting to leakage that would eventually need replacement. Doing sprinkler shutdowns pose a safety danger for those who attempt to do it without proper knowledge and lack of expertise.

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.

3D Rendering for a landscape design project.

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.

Ground covers are small sized plants that grow over an area of land almost independently, are very beneficial and are the latest must-have for garden designs and landscape purposes as it poses dozens of functions and delightful aesthetic effects at the same time. They could serve as shields to soil bed, such as hills and slopes, from being exposed to direct sunlight, avoiding fast evaporation of water, thus preventing erosion. Ground covers densely envelop the surrounding earth in your yard which could eradicate weed growth and add color to difficult cultivating areas, such as soils in the sunny areas. These could also serve as protector for beneficial insects and earthworms from predating birds and could serve as shelter for desirable species in your yard, such as butterflies and bees.

Todd Nappi, President of New York Plantings Garden Designers and Landscape Contractors, professional horticulturist, explicates that ground covers create a beneficial environment on the ground around root system that closely resembles of that of a natural setting. He also added that ground covers have the ability to provide trees and shrubs non-compacted soil surface that enables water to reach roots quickly. Ground covers prevent soil from washing away around and under the trees as well as open spaces thus providing sufficient water supply to other plants.

What sets ground cover more convenient than lawn is the less landscape care and maintenance, meaning less lawn cutting. Many landscape and garden design have utilized low maintenance ground cover plantings to blanket areas which are traditionally covered by high-maintenance lawns. Ground covers, such as ivy and juniper, can save you time, effort and money on maintenance and create texture and color options that cannot be achieved by common turfs. Other ground cover highly recommended by garden professionals are Pachysandra Cotonester, Drift Roses and evergreens like the Japanese Skimmia that could provide a year round interest with its appearance of tiny white flowers in Spring, followed by bright red berries in Fall, and staying green all year round; this plant also requires no maintenance or pruning at all. There are other varieties of ground covers which suit different hardiness zones.
