Services
Rushton Garden Works is a Brooklyn-based garden maintenance and design practice dedicated to the long-term care of gardens.
Each project focuses on sustaining and refining existing landscapes through careful observation, thoughtful pruning, soil stewardship, and plant selection grounded in the principle of right plant, right place.
Garden Design
The design approach focuses on creating gardens that feel natural to their setting and mature gracefully over time. Projects are guided by horticultural knowledge, careful plant selection, and a commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and enduring garden structure..
Garden Maintenance
Garden maintenance is approached as an ongoing process of observation and care. Through skilled pruning, soil stewardship, attentive seasonal work, and monitoring for insects and disease, gardens are maintained in a way that supports plant health, structure, and long-term vitality.
Prunning
Pruning focuses on the careful shaping and long-term health of plants. Specializing in the pruning of small trees and shrubs, work is guided by plant biology, growth habit, and seasonality to maintain structure, encourage flowering, and support plant vitality.
Native Plants
Planting prioritizes native and regionally appropriate plants that support pollinators, birds, and local ecosystems. Through thoughtful plant selection and attention to site conditions, gardens are developed to be resilient, ecologically beneficial, and well suited to their environment.
