Springtime is Here! Start the Season with a Backyard Power-Wash

Springtime is here! Time for your rooftop deck to get a powerwash. This is a before and after picture of our work

Today is the first day of Spring! All Decked Out NYC is ready for another great season. We are experts at outdoor spring cleaning, power-washing, clearing away dead leaves, plants and foliage. We bring in powerful compressors to wash everything, blast away city grime on all concrete, brick and wood surfaces.

If you need to repair a fence or wall, we can refinish and stain it a rich color to bring your outdoor space back to life. No job is too big or small for our power-washing and garden maintenance team.

Our power-washing equipment does not use any harsh cleaning chemicals, and because you are dealing with plant specialists, you can be assured to not damage your plants, trees and shrubs. We use brushes and scrubbers to get in the corners and wash your deck thoroughly. Just think, in no time your backyard can be spotless. While you have us there you can ask us for free design suggestions for enhancing your outdoor space.

Backyards are cleaned and maintained by your urban garden specialists. Call to schedule a power-washing.

Before you prepare for a spring planting, you need to get your backyard or rooftop in shape. Our dream of garden and plant specialists will care for your garden, do garden maintenance and clean up to clear away any excess debris. We build, repair, and re-stain planters and boxes for your tulips, flowers and shrubs.

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:

Competing Butterfy Pics

Now that Summer is in full swing, our gardeners have been snapping lots of photos of butterflies while they work!

Here are a couple we've found on jobs in the past week or so. Can you tell what species they are?

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!!

More Makeovers

We're all the way up on the Upper West Side today for another Summer makeover-this time at the front of a historical landmark building.

The owners of this building are renovating it's foundation, and with that comes the need to renovate the planters that flank its entrance.

First, we had to spend about a week completely digging out the entire box. This was no easy feat, and came with a LOT of surprises that had been buried deep in the ground over the past century.

Next, we had to lay down rocks and gravel to prepare for the substrate to be completed:

Now, with all the dirty work out of the way, the area is once again ready for a brand new spectacular front garden!

Gardening Isn't Just for Pansies; Part II

Remember our post about patios back on May 1st?

 We were in Brooklyn delivering bluestone for a client's custom-cut diamond pattern blue-stone patio.

(here's a reminder)

 Well, over the past three weeks our carpenters labored intensely, and our client now has a new, beautiful patio for us both to show off!!

Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more "after" pictures to follow up our earlier blogs from May. In the meantime, happy gardening!

No Rest for the Wicked

With temperatures on the rise and the month of May rapidly coming to a close, everyday is a working day here at All Decked Out. Whether we're building decks, planting flowers or installing irrigation, we have all been working nonstop to get through these installation months in one piece!

Here's a few snapshots of the what we've been up to over the past two weeks: 

 Mulching!

 Watering!

Sweeping!

Pruning!

 and Bragging ....only a little :)

Brooklyn Botanical Gardens

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!
