BedStuy Stoner, Open House NYC covered all expenses excluding the BBQ Grill and the furniture. Just Terraces came up with the complete design and the implementation strategy.

The Mosquitos were bad at first, but some how we’ve gotten rid of most of them. Eliminating standing water was a key first step. So we’re enjoying the space EVERY SINGLE Evening.

newbedstuy…. Stay at it. We closed on our place in June of ’05 and the garden was just finished in late June of this year. We STILL haven’t gotten to the basement. If you came by during the bed-stuy house tour last year, you saw we were still a work in progress.

Stay at it and you’ll be happy once you get there.

Petra, You’re a rock-star!

I saw the episodes that showed the transformation of their backyard. I thought they said the house was in Fort Greene?

Wow is all I can say. How much, if anything did they charge you guys?? How are the Mosquitos? Can you truly enjoy the space. It looks absolutely amazing.
