Thanks to everyone who came to see us...

At the 2010

We were very pleased to partner with Mingo Design, Plant Connection Inc., and Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet to create a 400 square foot booth about high end sustainable garden structures and environments, focusing on FSC and other green building materials.


The booth was a huge success, drawing many compliments and enabling us to meet a whole host of people from various parts of the industry, and home owners from all over the area.

We were delighted to meet you all and look forward to creating beautiful custom carpentry and garden structures with you soon.

And again, a special thank you to General Woodcraft for helping us to make this booth happen.

Brooklyn Heights Backyard Garden Fence

This fence and arbor project utilized PureWood, a material made by baking American Southern Yellow Pine until its natural resins evaporate, leaving a wood that will last for up to 15-20 years outside. This garden project was designed by Flo's Gardens, a Brooklyn-based landscape architect.
New to America, this process has been in use in Europe for 15 years, and allowed this client to use a material that is not only handsome, but made from domestic, easily replenished pine.
Here are some shots of the garden before we got to work.We removed the old fence, hired a local mason to reinforce the retaining wall, and then installed the new fence, arbor, and lattice.
And when we were done, the new garden looked like this...

Backyard Meditation Garden: Bamboo and Brazilian Walnut

This backyard garden fence was made using black bamboo and ipe. It is a rather complicated fabrication process to combine the bamboo poles with the flat ipe boards, but when completed it created one of our most unique environments.

Park Slope Garden and Planters: Ipe and Brick

This backyard garden in Park Slope consists of a a handsome ipe fence with cap, in front of a brick and stone planter system. The garden was designed by Timothy Osborne of The Organic Gardener NYC.

This aerial shot also shows off the opposing wall and the set of ipe furniture that we fabricated for the garden, including a curved ipe bench.

A Cypress Fence in Brooklyn

The Cypress tree grows mainly along the southern coastlines and inland areas. The tree produces an oil called cypressine which acts as a natural preservative within the wood. This inherent characteristic of the Southern Cypress makes it durable and extremely resistant to harsh weather conditions, insects and fungus.

Since Cypress wood lacks sap and doesn't bleed, it takes well to sealers, stains and paints. Its color varies in shades of light to dark honey. If left outdoors unfinished in its natural state, the appearance of the wood will become a light pewter color over time.
