BACK TO ROOTS LANDSCAPE & DESIGN

Established 2008

~Refined Landscapes Rooted in Coastal Living~

At Back to Roots we strive to create landscapes that reflect the quiet sophistication of the East End. Our work creates seamless transitions between the architectural grace of Hamptons estates and the stunning natural beauty of our coastal environment - merging clean design, detailed construction, and organic coastal textures. The result is a living, breathing outdoor space that is as timeless as the shoreline itself.

At Back To Roots, our process is grounded in personal involvement and enduring care. From the first site visit to years of attentive maintenance, we approach each landscape as a living extension of the home — one that evolves beautifully with time, season, and stewardship.

Our Process

Our Commitment

We limit our annual project count to maintain the personal involvement and attention to detail that defines our work. This allows us to devote ourselves fully to each property — from the design and development of new homes to the seasonal cultivation of established gardens.
Our process is comprehensive, yet intimate. It is how we ensure that every Back To Roots landscape remains refined, resilient, and rooted in care.

Inspired by nature…

…Perfected by design.

About Us

We design, build, and care for refined coastal landscapes across the Hamptons. With nearly 20 years in business on the East End, our work blends clean architectural design, natural restraint, and hands-on craftsmanship.

Rooted in a lifelong connection to family, surfing, nature, the beach, and the bays, our approach is shaped by a deep respect for the East End’s environment.

Our experience includes plant acclimation during construction of The Brooklyn Bridge Park, certification as a NYS IPM Technician in both organic and conventional practices, and extensive diagnostic and treatment expertise across a wide range of plant varieties.

We have worked discreetly on the properties of Fortune 500 CEOs, A-list celebrities, musicians, and foreign dignitaries, providing a level of professionalism and confidentiality that high-end estates require.

Our commitment is simple: thoughtful design, precise construction, and dedicated personal care.

“A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.”
