Landscape Design & Planting on Long Island: What to Plan and Install in April

As the spring season begins across Long Island, April is the perfect time to start planning and installing landscape upgrades that will carry your property through the entire year.

At Maroldo & Son Outdoor Services, we focus on landscape design, planting installations, and outdoor lighting — helping homeowners create clean, well-thought-out outdoor spaces that look great both day and night.

Start With a Plan: Why Design Matters

The best landscapes don’t happen by accident — they’re designed with intention.

April is the ideal time to:

• Refresh outdated planting beds

• Improve layout and flow of your property

• Add structure with shrubs, trees, and focal points

We offer custom landscape design services, including 3D renderings, so you can visualize your entire project before installation begins.

What to Plant in April on Long Island

Spring is one of the best times to install new plant material. Cooler temperatures allow plants to establish strong roots before the heat of summer.

Popular planting options for April include:

• Boxwoods and evergreen foundation plantings

• Hydrangeas and flowering shrubs

• Ornamental trees such as dogwoods and cherry trees

• Privacy plantings like Green Giants

Well-planned plantings not only improve curb appeal but also increase long-term property value.

Elevate Your Property With Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting is one of the most overlooked — and most impactful — upgrades you can make.

Professionally installed lighting can:

• Highlight architectural features of your home

• Showcase plantings and trees at night

• Improve safety along walkways and entrances

• Create a warm, inviting atmosphere

Spring is the perfect time to install lighting so your property is ready to enjoy all season long.
