Basics Landscaping

It is our passion to create truly unique and breathtaking landscapes as well as to establish and strengthen long lasting relationships with our clients. Our goal is to take your vision and along with the cooperative assistance of your individual sales representative, designer and installation specialist, transform those ideas into reality. We have earned and continually maintained our reputation as an industry leader on Long Island in landscaping and masonry based on our attention to detail and quality.

Our crews don't just cut the grass. For that few additional dollars a week, we can save thousands in long-term maintenance and rebuild. Let our crews trim your shrubs, clean your leaves, blow out your gutters, apply your chemicals, edge and weed your property and maintain your perennials-all of which are standard in our maintenance package. Get away from spending your weekend on your hands and knees in the yard pulling weeds, and start enjoying the view. Our crews have the equipment and the people needed to perform the job right.

We recommend you seal your driveway every 1 to 2 years to keep the elements out. Basics Landscaping of Long Island only uses the finest quality Velvetop driveway sealer, not the watered down premixed "spray on" tar in large truck containers others in the industry use. We use hand rollers for a thicker more even application and paint brushes for the edges to avoid splatter on your Belgium Blocks or pavers for a neat and clean look guaranteed every time. Before the sealing process begins, our staff will take the necessary time in making sure the area is clean and no potentially problematic cracks or holes exist.

Have one of our specialists come identify the problem and determine the appropriate drainage solution to alleviate or eliminate your wet areas. Often soggy areas can be reduced by adjusting the pitch of an area in conjunction with running some underground piping to a box or drywell. Some other common resolutions are redirection of downspouts, installing a drain in a basement window well, and installing emitters to disperse water. If basements are your concern, let us re-pitch the planting areas around your house and stucco the foundation to prevent water from entering cracks.

A fire feature in the backyard not only adds to the overall look of the yard but also extends the amount of time to spend in your great outdoors.

If you can think it, we can build it! Everything is custom when it comes to firepits and fireplaces. A fireplace is not complete without an adjacent seating wall for both look and function. If the fireplace has bluestone accents, the wall can be capped with Rock-faced Bluestone either straight or radius to match.

We also install seating walls that are 18 high for accents around your patio. If you are looking for a more natural look, we can combine natural stones to create a one of a kind retaining wall for your property.

A sales representative will meet with you at your property to discuss what home improvements you are looking to accomplish. At this point we will look and listen to your ideas and make suggestions in order to create your new outdoor living space. The process begins with scanning your property survey into the computer. The design is an artistic rendering and it is to scale based on your survey and actual measurements. Your designer will then compile a masonry or landscaping design that fits your needs and wants.

Our designers can customize decks to all shapes and sizes, including built in benches, planter boxes and more. The details are endless with decking, we can mix and match colors and styles of railing to provide a visual impact.
