All Decked Out NYC - Urban Rooftop Design and Construction, Build the Deck of Your Dreams!

All Decked Out NYC are Urban Deck Design Specialists!

When you want to spend some time outdoors after a cold winter, you need a private deck. With the warm weather, the fresh smell of flowers and other plants and beauty of green trees of your own rooftop deck can be enjoyed even by those who live in cities such as New York. Of course not many apartments have terraces but most of them have balconies. If you’re living in an apartment with an access to the rooftop or you live in a Brownstone townhouse you’re a lucky person. Here are some ideas how you can hire All Decked Out NYC to design and install your outdoor space to be perfect for your lifestyle.

Having a rooftop terrace or deck is your expression of an ultimate outdoor space, providing beautiful views that also also serve as an urban garden. A rooftop deck is quite a luxury in NYC, but if you have your own rooftop garden in an urban setting, it can become a great addition to the value of your home and serve as an ultimate entertainment and lounge area with greenery to create the added privacy that comes with building your own urban garden oasis.

Solid wood is the best option for any deck. Why? It’s natural, sturdy and with some appropriate maintenance will last for years. Choose between ipe, teak, cedar, mahogany TREX or other composite deck materials. Wooden finish also brings warmth to the look and it is simply aesthetically pleasing.

Build and Design Comfortable Seating Areas

Decorating your rooftop deck is easy. Potted plants and trees and flower beds are ultimate accessories. But you can also go for creative furniture, decorations like floor vases and hanging lanterns and other designer accents.

Bringing a water feature to your rooftop deck can also act as an ultimate decoration and even a focal point. Think vertical green wall or a small fountain. Also make sure to invest in good outdoor lighting as it can bring a lot of character to the deck/terrace but it should also withstand the environment. Low-Voltage lanterns and floor lamps add a lot of charm and style to the outdoor spaces like decks and terraces. Also a rug can bring the indoors’ warmth to the area, just be sure to remove it when the weather is wet and cold or too hot (as the rug color can fade).

Beyond your deck's design, you can incorporate unique elements that make your deck stand out. For example, line the exterior rail of a deck with built-in benches or planters. Or create a centerpiece with a gazebo, arbor, a colonnade or a large sitting area with custom built-in furniture. Incorporate natural features such as a trellis covered in vines, walkways or stepping stones that transition from the deck to garden pathways, or living walls grown from wall pockets. For artistic flair, add a wall mosaic, a bouquet of bright paper lanterns, or a line of low voltage lights.

Removable Ipe Tiles Set on Pedestal System

If "green" and sustainable deck materials are important to you, check for Forest Stewardship Council certification on your building materials. Eco-design wood alternatives that blend plastic and wood fiber include Trex, ChoiceDek and TimberTech. For wood decks, we primarily use Ipe and Teak, as well as cedar and mahogany.

We also do great masonry and stonework, like our bluestone projects which are low-maintenance, stay clean all year, and look great. To see more before and after pictures, go to www.alldeckedoutnyc.com to look at our whole portfolio.

Happy Labor Day!

As the Summer months draw to a close, we here at All Decked Out thought we would share a few striking images of life that we captured throughout the season:

Summer Makeovers, Part II

We're back with Part II of our Upper East Side Summer Makeover installment!

After demolishing the tired old terrace to make room for it's new look, our carpenters went to work. They built a new fence for privacy and sanded and stained the planters to make them look brand-new:

 

 With the basics complete, our designers carefully chose plants to accent the size and complement the shape of the terrace, and our gardeners set to work on the final installation:

Et Voila! this beautiful terrace was finished on July 3, just in time for an Independence day party!!

We took a field trip recently and thought we'd share a few of the views we took in....


Lots of unexpected crocus sightings!

Not to brag or anything ;) but we were fortunate enough to be in the presence of one of the most widely respected horticulturists alive today, Michael Dirr. All and all a beautiful day and a lot of smiling took place... This is a shot of Nathan and Kilian in front of Patrick Dougherty's remarkable work!

Where to begin?! And a few things to consider...

Well, first and foremost a very happy belated New Year to everyone! So far we're off to a running start and couldn't be happier.

All Decked Out has been fortunate enough to stay nice and busy up through the holidays! We fertilized, mulched and closed down the gardens for the winter and in November planted over 4,000 bulbs!!

Are you looking forward to spring as much as we are?!

In December Kilian was kind enough to host a fantastic All Decked Out Holiday party at a local Chelsea restaurant where everyone was nothing but smiles...

in case you were looking for proof!

This time of year is bittersweet for us gardeners. We get a chance to take a load off....


...but we miss the dirt beneath our nails. We've had a fortunate year (winter) so far with calls pouring in from people who want to be ready for the spring!! Needless to say we are grateful spring is nearing.
