Does your building have a neglected backyard or rooftop that you'd like to see turned into a community space? A well-designed garden not only enhances the value of your apartment or office, but acts as a private "park" where building residents can gather to socialize or simply enjoy being outdoors.

Acme Plant Stuff will create a garden from the ground up, designing custom boxes and recommending skilled carpenters and contractors. We also offer a wide choice of ready-made container boxes, trellis work, and garden furniture made from cedar, teak, mahogany, or cypress. Structures such as pergolas and trellises add the finishing touch to your garden hardscape.

Depending on your growing conditions (sunny rooftop v. shady backyard), Acme Plant Stuff will select trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals that are well-suited to container growing. We pay special attention to container weight, and the importance of transporting hundreds of pounds of soil and plant material through your location quickly and neatly.

Acme Plant Stuff highly recommends installing a drip irrigation system in every exterior garden. Controlled by a simple computer, an automated watering system reduces the opportunity for human error and can easily be adjusted to compensate for incremental changes in temperature and rainfall. Acme Plant Stuff will recommend several qualified irrigation specialists, depending on the size and scope of your installation.
