Sketch & Hammer's speciality is the design of and the building of urban garden environments made out of wood. The business contracts for projects to be assembled on the private properties of residential, condominium and co-op homeowners in New York City. Aesthetically pleasing concepts are designed to render safe, building-code-correct products. The owner of Sketch & Hammer, Susan Hager, consults with her potential clients about their ideas.

Once everything is agreed upon and signed off on with a down payment, scheduling can take place in 10 days. A project takes 1 to 4 weeks to complete, depending, of course, on the weather conditions. The work is scheduled during the entire year. The drawings, her portfolio, and one good look at a job site speak for Susan Hager/Sketch & Hammer.
