Weaving Long Island’s Charm into Your Yard

Your property deserves a landscape that thrives in our specific environment, from the sandy shores to the more sheltered inland spots. DLZ Construction and Landscaping Inc. focuses on bringing these local considerations to your doorstep. We are all about making your outdoor visions a reality with our landscaping services Long Island.

Cultivating Beauty, Long Island Style

• Coastal-Wise Plantings: Think vibrant flowerbeds filled with salt-tolerant perennials like Lavender, Coneflower (Echinacea), and Black-Eyed Susans, which offer stunning color and attract pollinators. For foundation plantings, consider hardy shrubs such as Boxwood or Bayberry, which handle sea breezes with grace. We often use rich, dark compost to amend Long Island’s sandy soil, improving water retention.
• Lush, Resilient Lawns: A verdant lawn can be a beautiful centerpiece. We recommend cool-season grasses like fescues and Kentucky bluegrass, which are well-suited to our climate. Proper soil preparation, including aeration if needed, and the addition of organic matter like screened topsoil, give your turf the best start.
• Durable and Distinctive Hardscapes: Create inviting pathways with classic Long Island bluestone or choose durable Cambridge pavers for a stunning patio designed to withstand our freeze-thaw cycles. For driveways or drainage solutions, locally sourced 3/4″ crushed gravel offers both function and a natural aesthetic.
• Gardens that Welcome Wildlife (Selectively!): Many Long Islanders appreciate nature, but deer can be a challenge. We can design gardens incorporating beautiful deer-resistant options like aromatic Russian Sage, feathery Astilbe, or native ornamental grasses such as Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) that add texture and movement.
• Native Strength and Beauty: Incorporating Long Island native plants like Serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis) for spring flowers and bird attraction, or Oakleaf Hydrangea for summer blooms and fall color, means choosing plants already adapted to our local soil and weather patterns. These often require less intervention once established.
