Custom Landscape Design / Build for City Spaces

Twelve Gardens Ltd. designs, builds, and cares for gardens in Manhattan and Brooklyn, from residential brownstone backyards and private rooftops to corporate, condo, and co-op courtyards and common spaces.

At Twelve Gardens Ltd., we draw on our love for garden design history and for contemporary ecological landscaping practices to make dream gardens full of hope and beauty.

We help clients who need to create a new garden from scratch, and clients whose existing garden simply needs a little help.

Whether you need landscape design & project management to transform a bare rooftop into a garden, or native planting design; help addressing privacy concerns or shade for a too-sunny garden (or help with a too-shady one), we bring more than 20 years of experience with NYC landscape design, installation, and garden care to your project.
