Green Urban Landscape Design

Creative and aesthetic landscape design isnt just for suburban homes and estates with large plots of land. These days people want to feel an escape to their own backyards and this includes city dwellers. There are many ways to make a smaller urban patio into an outdoor retreat, the staycation is not just for rural folk.



Blue in Green Gardens is a prime example of urban landscape design gone right! Based out of Brooklyn, New York, this landscape design firm has taken the most out of sparse inner city space and made it into something attractive and welcoming. From town homes, to terraces, to rooftops, Blue in Green Gardens demonstrates how you can take limited outdoor real estate and turn an otherwise drab patio offering into a beautiful retreat right in your backyard.



Blending traditional garden concepts with more contemporary urban design, B.I.G.G. will help you to create an outdoor wonderland that would make any suburban homeowner jealous of your patio and garden sanctuary.



Linear and elevated planters can run the length of a patio area to create a larger feeling of space in your outdoor living room as well as providing privacy from your neighbors. Individual stand alone planter pots or boxes can help to separate space and section off areas of the patio itself.



Another good way to blend seating into spacial design is to incorporate retaining walls that can hold a garden bed, but the ledges of the walls can also double as a seating area.



Finally, a great way to create a centerpiece for an outdoor living room is to install a custom fire pit. Nothing says "gather round" quite like a fire pit. A natural conversation starter and location for assembly, custom fire pits are a fantastic way to include family and friends and extend your time spent outdoors all year round.



We hope Blue in Green Gardens can help you with spacial and urban landscape design ideas and if you are ever in the market for a fire pit centerpiece, then please check us out online or call today. 1-877-556-5255.
