What we build,
and how we think about it.

Three core spaces we design, three material and structure specialties that show up in almost every project. The thread is the same: design that respects the building already there, materials chosen for the exposure, and a single studio carrying the project from first walk-through to final sweep.

MintScapes·What we build
Three spaces we design

The room you’re standing in.

  • Rooftop terrace with white sectional seating, low pergola, and skyline view

    Rooftops

    Rooftop decks

    Terraces and roof decks designed for NYC structures already in place — pavers, IPE, planters, pergolas, lighting, irrigation.

  • Brownstone backyard with horizontal IPE wood fence and a dining setup at twilight

    Backyards

    Brownstone backyards

    Rear-yard design and build for Brooklyn and Manhattan townhouses — privacy walls, pavers, planting beds, dining and entertaining.

  • Outdoor kitchen and bar under a louvered pergola, lit at dusk with downlights

    Outdoor kitchens

    Outdoor kitchens

    Built-in grills, refrigeration, prep counters, and the utility routing that makes them last — across NYC and North Jersey.

Specialty work

The structures and materials that show up everywhere.

  • Rooftop with paver-and-grass floor and a black steel pergola frame

    Pergolas

    Pergolas & shade

    Cedar, IPE, powder-coated steel, and louvered aluminum — pergolas sized to the space, load-checked for the exposure, lit from the inside.

  • Outdoor kitchen detail showing IPE wood wall and stone counter

    Decking

    IPE decking

    The gold standard for rooftop decks, backyard platforms, and built-in seating. Twenty-five-year lifespan, properly detailed.

  • Rooftop deck with porcelain pavers laid in a grid pattern

    Pavers

    Porcelain pavers

    The cleaner, lower-maintenance answer to natural stone. UV-stable, freeze-safe, and serviceable from the moment it’s installed.

Also part of the work

The pieces that hold every project together.

  • Privacy walls & screens

    Horizontal IPE, cedar slats, tensioned steel, planted hybrids. The element that turns a yard into a room.

  • Outdoor lighting design

    Path, wash, accent, and silhouette. Wired clean before the hardscape goes down. Low-voltage and DMX where it matters.

  • Irrigation

    Drip and spray, routed under decking. Smart controllers tied to local microclimate, not a default schedule.

  • Planting

    We’ll build to your designer’s planting plan, or we’ll source one for you. Specific to the light the space actually gets.

  • Seasonal care

    Spring open, summer check, fall close. Year one is on us; after that, only if you want it.

  • Fire features & built-ins

    Fire pits, fire tables, built-in benches and planters. Designed into the layout, not added on later.
