Long Island Elite Landscaping specializes in expert coastal planting services that transform your outdoor space into a vibrant, natural oasis. Whether your property is located directly on the water or simply exposed to coastal conditions like wind, salt, and sandy soil, our team designs and installs landscapes that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Coastal gardens are known for their wild, natural look—featuring silvery foliage, ornamental grasses, bright, resilient flowers, and hardy textures that move gracefully in the breeze. At Long Island Elite Landscaping, we use plant varieties that thrive in the unique conditions of Long Island’s shoreline, ensuring your garden not only looks stunning but also stands up to the elements.
Coastal Plants With Purpose
Smart Landscaping for Shoreline Living
Long Island is surrounded by water, which makes coastal landscaping a practical and visually striking solution for many homeowners. Coastal planting enhances your property’s natural beauty while protecting it from erosion and extreme weather. These plantings are specifically chosen for their ability to tolerate:
- High winds
- Salty air and soil
- Drought and dry, sandy conditions
- Low-nutrient soil
Even if your property isn’t directly on the beach, you can still enjoy the benefits of a coastal-style garden. Our team creates stunning designs that bring the charm of the seaside to any residential or commercial property across Long Island.
Popular Coastal Plants for Long Island
Our expert landscapers carefully select plants that perform well in harsh coastal environments. These include:
- Beach grasses and native dune plants
- Sea thrift, lavender, and yarrow
- Rugosa roses, Russian sage, and bayberry
- Sedum, coneflowers, and other drought-tolerant perennials
- Low-maintenance ground covers for erosion control
We balance aesthetics with durability—combining colors, textures, and movement to bring your coastal garden to life.
How We Nurture Your Coastal Landscape
While coastal plants are tough, proper care and preparation are key to long-term success. Before planting, we enrich the soil with organic matter such as compost, rotted manure, or green waste to improve water retention and nutrients. We may also incorporate:
- Gravel, flint, or stones to help hold moisture
- Wind-resistant, low-growing plants to anchor the soil
- Mulching techniques that combat evaporation and erosion
Once installed, we recommend feeding your coastal garden naturally with rinsed seaweed or other organic fertilizers to help establish strong, healthy plants.
