Coastal Garden Planting
Best Options for Long Island Landscapes
Long Island’s coastline offers plenty of space for planting, but its harsh conditions limit plant options. Our expert landscapers can help you create a coastal garden that thrives in these tough environments.
For the best results, choose plants native to harsh conditions. Look for species with tough, leathery, or hairy leaves that resist salt damage and reduce moisture loss. Grasses are also ideal, as their narrow leaves are well-suited for wind, salt, and dry conditions.
Check out this list of the best plants for your coastal planting project and garden.

Protecting Your Coastal Garden from the Elements
Choosing the Right Barriers for Wind Protection
A coastal garden requires extra care to protect it from the elements, particularly strong winds that can make growing conditions challenging. The first step in ensuring your garden thrives is to install a windbreak before planting. Our expert landscapers will help you select the best location and, if needed, suggest alternative measures for protection.
Avoid solid barriers like walls and fences, which can cause wind turbulence. Instead, opt for windbreaks such as hedges, trees, shrubs, or living willow screens. These options filter and slow the wind, creating sheltered areas in your garden. For a temporary solution, polypropylene webbing or artificial hedging can also provide adequate protection.
