We have a small gargae type building in urban NYC... and next to it is a
plot of land(part of the property) which gets a lot of sun. We're
converting the garge to resedentail/studio space and would LOVE to
landscape the empty land. (it's about 60 feet x 20 feet)... with some
trees, shrubs..bit of grass etc.
QUESTION. can you begin a landscasping project like this in late JULY...
or do we have to wait till next SPRING?


The other responders have covered most of it for you. However, I see
no mention of grass. I find that late summer or fall is the best time
to start new lawn. There is no weed competition and the cool nights
are great for the new lawn.

Be sure to cover the new seed with straw and water, water, water.
Never let the seeds or new grass sprouts dry out.

You will be rewarded in the spring with lush new lawn that can form
the base for any other landscaping you choose.
