The Upper West Side's pre-war apartment buildings, landmark brownstones, and Central Park-adjacent townhouses generate a consistent demand for thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. Penthouse owners seek garden terraces that frame views of Central Park and the Hudson River, while brownstone owners commission rear garden transformations that bring the scale and quality of landscape architecture to intimate urban lots.
