LONG ISLAND LANDSCAPING PROJECTS


GARDEN CITY, Long Island, NY

Landscape Design, Outdoor Lighting

Designing With Elements was honored to put the spark into this beautiful modern-style home in Garden City, NY, owned by a local Long Island architect. As a unique focal point to the entryway, we created a landscape design with rigid, modern plantings and flowers. The landscape lighting adds additional character and drama once the sun goes down.

  • Create an inviting entryway
  • Ease the transition from the driveway to the elevated front door
  • Use traditional-style building materials with a modern layout

  • Compound sloping yard with 13′ elevation change
  • Maintain existing retaining walls while incorporating new entryway
  • Add low-voltage lighting to the ascending walkway

Features
