Absolutely. Plant selection is one of the most critical factors in a successful landscape. We consider your soil type, sun exposure, drainage, deer pressure, and aesthetic goals to recommend plants that will thrive on your specific Long Island property.
Yes. We strongly advocate for native plant use in Long Island landscapes. Native plants are adapted to local conditions, require less water and maintenance, support pollinators and wildlife, and are naturally resistant to many local pests and diseases.
A seasonal color program replaces annual plantings three to four times per year — spring, summer, fall, and sometimes winter — to keep your landscape looking vibrant and professionally maintained year-round. We handle all planting, fertilization, and removal.
