Thoughtful planting design creates the structure, color, and seasonal interest that bring your landscape to life. At Bay Avenue Plant Company, we select and install plant material specifically suited for Long Beach Island’s coastal climate — ensuring beauty, longevity, and year-round impact.
BRING YOUR PROPERTY TO LIFE WITH PLANTS
Planting Design That
Thrives On The Island
Plantings are the foundation of a vibrant, welcoming landscape. Whether you’re enhancing an existing property or starting from a blank canvas, the right combination of trees, shrubs, perennials, and seasonal accents can transform your outdoor spaces with texture, color, movement, and structure. At Bay Avenue Plant Company, we design planting beds and gardens that are both beautiful and resilient — tailored to LBI’s salt air, sandy soils, strong winds, and changing coastal conditions.
Our planting plans are created with intention: balancing aesthetics with environmental performance, selecting species that flourish in our microclimate, and arranging them to complement your home’s architecture and the surrounding hardscape. The result is a landscape that matures gracefully, provides year-round interest, and enhances the enjoyment and value of your property.

Plantings Perfect For Your Property
Thoughtful planting design is about more than choosing attractive plants. It’s about shaping how your property functions, how it feels throughout the seasons, and how it matures over time. Our approach focuses on intentional plant selection and placement: enhancing curb appeal, creating privacy, adding seasonal color, and building layered landscapes that feel natural, balanced, and perfectly suited to your Long Beach Island home.
Curb Appeal
Strategic plantings around entrances, walkways, and facades create a welcoming first impression. We use structure, color, and seasonal interest to elevate your home’s exterior and enhance overall curb appeal.
Privacy Screening
Layered shrubs, evergreens, and ornamental plantings help define spaces and create natural privacy. These solutions soften property lines, block sightlines, and add comfort around outdoor living areas.
Perennial Layering
Perennials provide structure, texture, and continuity within planting beds. By layering perennials with shrubs and groundcover, we create depth and long-term interest that matures beautifully over time.
Seasonal & Annual Color
Annuals bring vibrant color and freshness to your landscape throughout the year. From summer blooms to seasonal rotations, these plantings allow your property to evolve with the seasons and always feel current.
Support healthy, long-lasting growth
Underground Irrigation
Consistent, efficient watering is essential for establishing and maintaining a healthy landscape — especially in sandy, fast-draining coastal soils. Our underground irrigation systems deliver targeted hydration directly to plant roots, promoting stronger growth, reducing water waste, and helping your landscape thrive through heat, wind, and summer drought. We design systems that meet the unique needs of your planting beds and lawn areas, and we offer year-round service through our Maintenance Services team to ensure your irrigation continues operating at peak performance.
