LONG ISLAND LANDSCAPING PROJECTS


PORT WASHINGTON, Long Island, NY

Fire Pit, Outdoor Lighting, Patio, Pool, Water Feature

It’s not the size of the yard that’s important, but how you enjoy it! Our Long Island landscape design clients in Port Washington, NY wanted every aspect of a modern resort oasis—everything from a large second-story deck and custom vinyl swimming pool to a gas firepit and torches.

This contemporary 3D landscape design has every bell and whistle for year-round enjoyment. Every square foot of their property is used to maximize functional space and enjoyment.
