Urban landscaping is very different from traditional open-air, suburban design. In the city, in apartments, and in office buildings, plants face a variety of conditions seldom found in their natural environments. These include urban pollution, limited lighting, dry atmosphere and the challenge of container gardening. Instead of working with acres of land to create an aesthetic statement, sometimes you are working with only a few square feet. Urban landscaping takes on elements of a Zen Garden as we try to do more with less space.
