What Is The Process For Urban Gardens?

Outside space is a precious resource in the urban environment. Even the smallest of spaces can be turned into a beautiful garden. Designing these small spaces, where every inch counts is a real challenge and one we love here at Jean Brooks Landscapes.

Designing Your Project

Our designers will take into consideration space and light in your design. Permanent year-round plantings are used to anchor the garden and the use of pots, window boxes and other containers allows us to provide the garden with changing seasonal interest. Small urban gardens can give great joy to our clients!

Plants And Lighting

When it comes to the plants you’re able to grow, certain adjustments will need to be made to the growing strategy. This strategy should be based on the growing environment. A major factor the Jean Brooks Landscapes team takes into account is lighting in the space. In our initial survey of the property, we will conduct a light study to take note of how light and shade affects each part of the site. This survey will determine where different plants will live, and what kind of plants you will be able to cultivate in your space.

Planning for sunlight and shade will greatly help in the design of the project. This will tell if more shade-tolerant plants need to be used, and in what area to place them. When designing your garden, our team will also be paying close attention to how much reflection occurs off of neighboring buildings. This will help to protect the vegetation from any potential hot spots.
