Long Island Landscape Design Services
For this project we did custom masonry and stone work on a lovely Bayfront home in the south shore town of Babylon. Due to the fact that this home is located by the bay we had to plant high stress tolerant plantings around the property. These custom plantings gave the customer the look they wanted, and the plants were able to deal with the waterfront conditions.

During this project we had to design this landscape with the new “Sandy” elevation restrictions in mind. Using Cambridge Cambridge “Palisades” we created custom natural looking steps for the front walk. We also added south shore sustainable unique plantings and hardscape to this beautiful Long Island property.
This project we designed and installed a unique rustic landscape for this waterfront property in the south shore town of Babylon, New York. We used natural boulders and irregular bluestones in rear yard to give the patio a rustic and unique feel. A Barbecue patio was added to rear yard to create the atmosphere cooking and entertaining outdoors. In the front we used Cambridge Ledgestone for driveway. We did a series of custom plantings on the property, these high stress plants are perfect for the challenging conditions of the South Shore.
This was a project that required hundreds of yards of RCA & topsoil fill. We built custom walls to raise property 6′ above grade (to make sure the client was ready for the next Super storm). We installed a natural stone entry with stone walls in front. In the rear yard we installed a landscape light piers, custom gas fireplace, and Bocce Court.
The Village of Babylon was overwhelmed by Super Storm Sandy nearly 4 years ago. To this day new construction continues to rebuild South of Montauk Highway in Babylon.
Unique landscape design & construction of these South Shore Homes, with elevation and a more sustainable landscape has become an Anchor Landscape specialty. Here are some examples of the custom masonry and landscape design work we have done too help repair the Babylon area.
Super Storm Sandy took its toll on the residential South Shore of Long Island in 2012. Damage to hardscapes and plantings on South Shore towns was enormous.
Based on the south shore of Long Island for over 35 years, Anchor Landscape Inc. has been developing properties to be more sustainable to the harsh conditions the shoreline can produce. Wind, Sun and Salt are three of the most destructive elements pounding the South Shore. Utilizing high quality and more tolerant products for the hardscapes and plantings is the key.
With the devastation of the storm came a need rebuild at new elevations for shoreline homes, Amityville, Massapequa, Babylon, Lindenhurst & West Islip are included in the hardest hit areas. Home elevations are now as high as 7′ above grade with some 16 steps to even reach the front door. While this is a necessary change, landscape must now be developed to soften the look of these structures.
Anchor Landscape Inc. of Massapequa has been creating unique masonry & carpentry designs to create beautiful entry’s, incorporating plantings to accommodate the new Landscape challenges homeowners are facing with these new elevations. The use of high stress tolerant plants such as , juniper, spruce and pine will also help develop a more sustainable South Shore.
