Jet Wine Bar:
Eco-Garden Patio

Mosaic was tasked with revamping Jet’s outdoor space amid the pandemic in April 2020. Although we had to halt work a couple times due to stay at home orders, we are very proud of how Jet’s garden turned out. The garden infiltrates all stormwater on site, with none running off into the street or back alley, using a permeable flagstone patio and 2 rain gardens. Herbs are grown in containers on site and a series of native perennial plantings speckle the space to give the garden different seating areas of interest.

Full Backyard Renovations

For his backyard, our Friend Alex requested veggie beds, native plantings and a beautiful natural stone walkway. We love these kinds of jobs!

Edible Gardens

We are leaning more and more into edible landscapes and urban farming. Having spent time volunteering at various community farms in Philadelphia and Houston TX, Mosaic now specializes in Permaculture Design, custom vegetable beds and all kinds of edible landscapes.

Pollinator Gardens

These neighboring gardens (front ground and back ground gardens) located in center city feature bee friendly native flowering perennials as well as some evergreen shrubs to provide structure and interest in the winter months.

Custom Containers

Having worked in and around center city for 6 years, we are moving away from smaller pots and planters. Pots and planters dry out quickly in the summer and stay wet in the winter, making them poor places for plant success. There are many companies in Philly that specialize in seasonal annual planting (4 times a year) for your pots and window boxes. We prefer to plant native, flowering perennials, and in order for these to survive we have been custom building gorgeous custom wood planters, that double as seating areas.

Park Maintenance

Although we have a select number of maintenance clients, we are proud to help maintain Fitler Square in center city, and aid the park with our garden advice.

Custom Planters in South Philly

In August 2018 Mosaic took on a client designed garden build in South Philly. We engineered a series of custom built planters that now house trees, shrubs and native perennials. We were especially proud of our work site management on this job as the tight, difficult to access space included a new cedar fence, patio, and sod resurfacing, in addition to the massive amounts of materials required to build the tiered planters.

Early stages of the job, Mosaic guys having fun.

These photos show the process of a backyard hardscaping redesign. With low maintenance in mind, a sleek and consistent patio was the desired outcome.
