The ability to produce structures of varied shapes,
styles and uses makes wood a material found, in one
form or another, in many landscapes. An expansive deck
off the rear of the home, an arbor accenting the entry
into the rear yard or a pergola with ornamental columns
for shade are just some of the ways wood adds
structure, beauty and style to the landscape and home.
If you have a sloping rear yard or the main living
space in your home is above grade a wood deck is the
perfect answer to create a level usable space for
dining and entertaining. Decorative railings, an
overhead trellis, and steps to the garden below are
just a few of the ways to enhance a deck’s use.
Different levels can also be designed into the deck to
create separate areas of entertainment or as a
transition from the house to the garden.
Nassau Suffolk landscaping uses wood in many different
ways to enhance the appeal and use of the landscape.
Because of the versatility of wood, it can be
incorporated into any style of architecture or
landscape. Functional aspects include fencing for
security and privacy, lattice panels to screen views of
utilities such as air conditioners or pool equipment
and closed structures such as storage sheds or gazebos
that can provide for comfortable entertaining.
Decorative elements such as wood piers and gates at the
driveway entry, a trellis covered with flowering vines,
or decorative picket fencing can be used to enhance the
overall appeal of the landscape.
