Landscape Design & Planting in Staten Island

Landscape design providers plan and install yards: bed layouts, planting, trees and shrubs, lighting, and edging. Some draw a full plan before planting; others focus on installation. Match the provider to how much design you actually want. The current top-ranked landscape design pick in this guide is Russo's Landscaping (Best Overall).

What this covers

  • Custom yard design
  • Garden beds and planting
  • Tree and shrub planting
  • Low-voltage lighting
  • Artificial turf
  • Edging and curbing

Who it fits

Anyone redoing a yard, fixing a piecemeal landscape, or wanting a coherent plan they can phase over time.

Local factors on Staten Island

Plant choices change with salt exposure on the South Shore and clay drainage borough-wide, so local plant knowledge matters.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Do I get a plan before any planting starts?
  • Are the plants chosen for my soil and exposure?
  • Can the work be phased to fit a budget?
