General Questions
What makes KW Garden Design different from traditional landscapers?
Unlike traditional landscapers who focus on quick installations, we specialize in custom garden design in Long Island, NY with a focus on integrating native plants and building sustainable landscapes. Our goal is to create low-maintenance, high-impact gardens that thrive season after season. We provide expert guidance through our garden consultations to ensure your space is designed with both beauty and long-term success in mind.
What is a garden consultation, and do I need one?
A garden consultation is a one-on-one session where we assess your current space, discuss your goals, and provide expert recommendations on plant selection, layout, and seasonal care. It’s perfect for homeowners who want professional garden advice in Long Island, NY before committing to a full redesign or installation.
Do you design with only native plants?
While native plants are a big part of our design philosophy, we believe in balance. Many homeowners in New York want to incorporate native plants for their ecological benefits, but worry about their gardens looking too “wild.” We specialize in blending native and non-native ornamental plants to create a landscape that is both visually stunning and environmentally friendly.
How do I choose the right plants for my Long Island garden?
The best plants for your garden depend on your soil, sunlight conditions, and personal style. During our garden consultation, we’ll assess your space and recommend low-maintenance, high-performing plants—many of which are native to New York and thrive in our local climate.
