Landscaping and masonry in Rye, NY
Rye yards live with the Sound: salt in the air, storms off the water, and the Blind Brook running through the middle of it all. Planting and stonework here has to be chosen for that, and that is how we build it.

Shoreline properties, salt-tested planting
From Milton Point to Greenhaven, waterfront and near-water yards take salt spray and sea wind that inland plant lists ignore. The hydrangea that thrives in Bedford browns out two blocks from the beach.
We plant what actually holds near the Sound, and design beds so the exposed edge protects the softer interior. Lawn programs get adjusted for sandy coastal soil the same way.
Masonry for historic and waterfront homes
Rye's housing runs from the historic blocks around the city center to waterfront homes that take weather sideways. Stonework here earns its keep: bluestone terraces, stoops, walks and walls built on compacted bases with drainage designed in, in stone that suits the house rather than the catalog.
Near the water we detail for the environment, joints, bases and materials chosen for salt and storm exposure, because a terrace that fails in three winters was never cheap.
Flood-aware grading near Blind Brook
Rye's biggest storm problem is the Blind Brook, and Ida proved the flood maps optimistic. Yards along the brook and the low coastal blocks need grading that takes water seriously: away from the foundation, into planned paths, out through drains that were built deep enough to matter.
Work near the shore and in flood zones can also touch the city's coastal and floodplain rules, and we plan projects so that review, when needed, comes first.
Every job here starts the same way: a twenty-minute walkthrough and a written price.
Grounds care for larger Rye lots
The estate-scale properties around Greenhaven and Milton Point run on schedules: lawn programs, bed renovation, hedge and screening care, cleanups timed to the oaks, and snow when it turns.
One crew, one contact, year-round, with the property planned by zone rather than mowed flat and called done.

Common questions
If yours is not here, call (914) 486-3682. Someone answers seven days a week.
Yes. Near-water work is its own discipline: salt-tolerant planting, stonework detailed for exposure, and grading that respects where storm water actually goes. That is standard practice for our Rye jobs.
A different list than inland Westchester. We plant from what holds up near the water and structure beds so tougher plants shelter softer ones. We are direct at the estimate about what will not make it two blocks from the beach.
We can fix what grade controls: water pushed away from the foundation, given surface paths, and drained where pipe genuinely helps. In a hard storm the brook does what it wants, but ordinary rain should never be in your basement.
Some do. Work near the shore or in mapped flood zones can fall under the city's coastal and floodplain rules. Nelson flags it at the walkthrough so review happens before the crew is scheduled.
It depends on exposure, water, scope and the level of detail the property calls for. There is no flat rate without seeing the site. Nelson walks it and leaves a written scope and price. The visit is free. Call (914) 486-3682.
