Design/Build
Our Temenos offers thoughtful, ecologically oriented landscape design and build services. We prioritize permeable hardscaping to manage storm water, biodegradable materials that are renewable, upcycling where possible, and consider the life-cycle cost for clients and the environment.
We consider all of our projects to be pieces that contribute to the city- and state-wide puzzle of green infrastructure.
Our portfolio includes green spaces chock full of native plants across NYC and in several a dozen other cities through virtual design and project management services.

Maintenance
Working with native plants almost exclusively, you can be sure that our gardens areas are of high ecological value. Our team has extensive knowledge of care for native plants, those which have evolved to fulfill a role in the local ecological landscape. We leave the plants that are doing important jobs such as providing season specific resources for birds, bees & butterflies. We identify and remove invasive plants, ideally before they become a problem. Our native perennial gardens tend to be inherently low maintenance and are long lasting.
-
Seasonal Visits
Are you a hands-on gardener who simply needs extra support throughout the year? We offer garden cleanups throughout the season to support you in composting your leaf litter, getting the growing season started or transitioning your garden to a native perennial garden.
Seasonal visits are ideal for clients who spend time and energy in their outdoor space but need the extra hands from time to time. They are also a great investment for landlords or property managers sprucing up a space before turning it over to new tenants.
Commercial Services

We have worked with restaurants, museums, bars and preschools across the five boroughs.

Maintenance
Our native perennial gardens tend to be inherently low maintenance and are long lasting. However, high traffic areas require more specialized care to keep them looking magnificent at all times. Every day is a special occasion for someone in NYC — make sure that your space is an integral part of the magic and memories.
