Daniel Greer has always brought about the strong aesthetic sense in all his works especially the New Haven Yeshiva and Edgewood Park neighborhood. He paid for every little advice especially one of those that was presented by the Late Art Ratner. Greer paid minute attention to the watchword which meant “urban environment has to be softened” It is him who focused on the advice of Ratner and incorporated consistently all his efforts for having the backyard of Roger Sherman building landscaped. It is the same place where yeshiva’s New Haven was located and used to be called the Asphalt jungle. Greer strived to make this area cover with lush greenery and grass. These are the things he did.
In efforts to improve community
Vintage Playground equipment from the 1950s was saved, hemlock and arborvitae were planted across the perimeter of the area entirely. This green border looked very gentle and the yard could look green throughout the year. One of the significant upgrades was the far away comer patch. This was transformed into a sitting area. From a distance, it appeared as if there was one park nestled into another. White birches, as well as other deciduous trees, were planted for landscaping. A lamp, very old-fashioned along with park bench simply took the look of the park to another level. Daniel Greer finally transformed into a place where one could do their private conversations and afternoon reading.
Veering attention
Greer made all arrangements in replacing concrete and asphalt with grass and flowering bushes. Thus, he acted as per the watchword and uplifted the environment.
