Rooftop Gardens
If you find that you do not have space and that you really need an outdoor living space, then you may want to consider creating a rooftop garden sometimes called a terrace garden. Rooftop gardens are an ideal way for an urban gardener to expand their space and they make good use of frequently unused and wasted space.
A rooftop garden usually consists of larger planters that has been filled with a mix of flowers, evergreens, grasses amd shrubs. A great addition might also include outdoor furnishings. The weight of the materials, type of plants, tress and flowers and the way the space is going to be used will all have to be taken into consideration as these will have an impact on the roof.

How late can you plant trees in NYC?
Different plant experts have different opinions on what is the best time to plant trees. Their opinions will be differerent because of location, soil type, tree species you intend to plant. Selecting the right tree is equally as important as selecting the correct time for planting.When should I apply fertilizer?
Firstly, we advise that you should not fertilize right after mowing the lawn. It’s best to wait at least two days after having the lawn mowed. Second, use a spreader to evenly apply the manure to make sure it reaches all areas of your yard. It’s best to also close the spreader hopper when stopping and turning so fertilizer doesn’t leak out in piles onto the lawn.
When should you not fertilize your lawn?
In the spring, ground temperatures can typically reach 55°F by April. In the absence of measuring the temperature, mid-April is a good starting date if fertilizing is found to be necessary.
How many minutes should I water my lawn after fertilizing?
The manure and ground should thoroughly be moist, but don’t water the ground so much that puddles begin to be formed. 20 minutes is usually a good starting point.
What grass grows best in New York?
Bluegrasses, Fescues and Bents are the best grasses to grow in New York, NY as these have been known to tolerate harsh conditions. These have high resistance to high heat, leaf spot diseases and can be cut low.
When should I plant grass seed in NY?
Mid-August to mid-September (early fall) are the best times to plant grass seeds in New York. Due to the warm temperatures in the dirt (between 60° and 70° F) and the consistent rainfall at this time of year, seed germination is much faster and the grass will have deeper roots. This will help the grass plants get established before the winter season sets in.
What is the best topsoil for grass?
The best soil that holds moisture but also drains well when watered is loam soil. Loam soil is also able to retain nutrients and allow air flow, making it the most ideal for plants. The largest soil particle is sand. Sandy soil is quick to warm up in spring, drains well, and is easy to cultivate.
What trees would be appropriate for a terrace in NYC?
It’s best to choose plants that fit your lifestyle. If you work all day, for example, select ones with light-colored foliage that capture the ambient twilight, such as lamb’s ears or artemisia, or focus on night bloomers, like tuberoses. Oriental lilies or moonflowers, that have a heady scent will sneak through an open door on a warm evening.
The main concerns of growing trees on a terrace are the intense sun and high winds, the amount of dirt that a terrace can hold and water availabilitysize of the root ball associated with a mature tree.
Here is a list of some possible trees:
Eastern white pine, Mugo pine, Limber pine, Hinoki cypress, River birch, American dogwood,Kousa dogwood, Japanese maple.

When Should I aerate my lawn?

Planting and Removal of Trees
Over time your property may look more like a jungle than a lawn and garden if you don’t
maintain it properly. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. Sometimes all it needs is
pruning, planting a new shrub or tree and removing some dead and unsightly bushes and plants.
If you don’t get rid of dying plants right away, this may cause more serious
problems such as the spreading of diseases and attracting nasty pests into your lawn.
When this happens, all of your healthy plants will soon die and you would have to call a professional pest control company to deal with rodents and insects that might have found residence in your garden.
If you want to bring back life to your property, planting and removal is your best option. You can start by identifying which plants are already dead or dying. Next, is to check out plants that may seem out of place or those that ruin the overall appeal of your garden. Once you have identified all of these plants, it is time to remove them.
Of course, you may want to replace the plants you removed with healthy trees, shrubs, flowers, or bushes. When planting new trees or plants, make sure that they go well with your other plants or your theme if you have one. If you are not sure which plants to add, you may want to hire a professional to do it for you. NYC Gardeners can help you with the planting and removal of any trees, plants, or shrubs on your property.
