I have a large backyard by brownstone Brooklyn standards. It’s 60 feet deep and 32.5 feet wide, so 1,950 sf. The backyard is desolate. No trees, a broken down shack, dirt mixed with gravel and a hundred years of Brooklyn refuse, a small brick covered area and a small cinder block covered area. There is nothing worth keeping. Not even the existing dirt. I’d like to create a real garden and am wondering what ballpark pricing would be. I’d appreciate feedback and advice from anyone who’s done something similar. The yard is accessible by an alleyway/driveway, so getting materials in and out of the would not be difficult.
