We're a Hicksville-based landscape and masonry crew working across Nassau County. Most properties we walk onto are layered with twenty years of patchwork — tired beds, dying hedges, cracked pavers. We start by clearing it. Honestly.

Then comes the slow part. A site plan keyed to your light, your soil, and how Long Island weather actually moves through the property. Drainage figured out before a single plant goes in. Hardscape laid first — bluestone, fieldstone, brick — and beds carved into it. Trees chosen because they'll still look right in ten years.

The result isn't a finished moment for a photo. It's a property that gets better every season — fuller beds, weathered stone, a garden that reads like it's always been there.

02 — Process

Four stages.
One garden.

01 / Clear

Strip the property back to honest ground.

removalgradingsoil testing

Old hedges out. Dead shrubs out. Cracked pavers and rotted edging, gone. We grade for drainage, pull soil samples, and amend with what your beds actually need — not a one-size bag from the supplier. By the end of week one you can see the property again.

02 / Design

Draw the bones — beds, paths, and stone.

site planplanting schedulematerials

A scaled site plan you can hold — bed shapes, walkway lines, wall heights, every tree and shrub placed by hand. We design in seasons: what blooms in May, what carries September, what holds the property through a Long Island winter. Stone samples come to your driveway, not a slide deck.

03 / Build

Set the masonry — patios, walls, edges.

Hardscape goes in first. Hand-laid bluestone, dry-stack fieldstone, brick patios on six inches of compacted base. Retaining walls engineered for the slope and the frost line — not eyeballed. Stonework is what your garden grows around. Get the masonry right and the planting follows it naturally.

04 / Plant

Plant in layers that get better every year.

Structural plants first — specimen trees, evergreen anchors. Then mid-layer shrubs, then perennials and groundcover. We lean on natives and adapted species that handle Long Island clay, salt air, and the wet-then-dry stretches we get out here. First season looks tidy. Third season looks intentional. Fifth looks inevitable.

What we build,
plant, and lay.

Three disciplines, one crew, one phone number. Most Nassau County projects use all three — but each stands on its own when a property only needs a single piece fixed.
