LONG ISLAND LANDSCAPING PROJECTS

These homeowners in Smithtown, Long Island, NY were looking for a rustic-traditional-style poolscape and outdoor living space with a construction timeline they could spread out over three years. So Designing With Elements created their dream yard broken down into phases, with the final result looking seamless, as if it had been installed all at once.

Natural boulders, thin stone veneer and Nicolock Grand flagging give this backyard the rustic feel and finish while the classic layout and planting arrangements temper and traditionalize it. High quality materials will have this yard looking picture perfect for many years to come.
