Winter wonderland at All Decked Out


In honor of the the winter solstice, here are some photos of a garden buried under the blizzard of this past weekend to get you in the spirit.
All Decked Out braved the snow and was up there early this morning dismantling the garden- check back this spring to see photos of the garden's upcoming face lift!

All Decked Out decks out a backyard

This backyard of west village townhouse had great bones but was overgrown and the stone flooring in desperate need of repair. We salvaged much of the existing stone and re-fashioned it into a step to separate a lounging area and a kids play area (basketball net not shown).

By leaving some of the features that gave this space character- see the aged wood fence, awesome wisteria vines, and a mature bamboo grove; and adding some new character in plantings and sculpture, this backyard allows the client to show off his eclectic style while maintaining a functional space.

All Decked Out goes to Long Island

This week we made out first foray into Long Island

This cute house front was being hidden by some overgrown rhodendrons and a disorganized hedge, while the brick foundation was far too exposed. The clients also complained about a lack of color, but wanted to keep the area as low maintenance as possible.

All Decked Out came in and revamped their planting by adding lots of colorful evergreen foliage and a planting that gives the house a little breathing room for better views through their front window.

In addition, we got our first video review..

And here are some pics

With the weather quickly cooling it was time to take out the heat loving annuals and replace them with those more akin to soup & sweaters!

Check out some of our folks planting a plethora of mums, cabbages, and pansies- plus a some lovely early fall color so you remeber there are things to love about todays cold, rainy weather!....
