This Brooklyn Heights townhouse features a bluestone deck, custom bench with built-in lighting, and ipe planter boxes. This sunny, cheerful roof garden is more exposed to the elements and windier than most ground-level gardens, so we picked a hardy sun-loving mix of junipers, crape myrtles, roses, and flowering perennials that would do well here.

This Brooklyn backyard features a bluestone patio, horizontal knotty cedar fencing, a custom L-shaped sectional bench, a built-in jacuzzi, and contemporary plantings. A built-in jacuzzi is a great alternative to a pre-fab unit. It looks very high-end, and it doesn't require craning it over the brownstone to get it into the backyard, which would cost thousands of dollars and require permits.

Mum's the word when it comes to fall gardens around NYC! Even the smallest sidewalk planter, such as this one in Brooklyn, can be a delight to stumble upon.
