We put Sagaponack homeowners in touch with one landscape pro who installs in the town regularly and chooses species for the actual site, not a generic list.

Planting in Sagaponack means choosing species and specimens for the actual site, not a catalog picture: exposure, deer pressure and soil decide what survives here more than what looks good on delivery day. We put Sagaponack homeowners in touch with one landscape pro who installs in the town regularly and prices the plant list honestly before it is ordered.
Planting design in Sagaponack: what's different here
Large estates on open former potato fields running down to the ocean and Sagg Pond, with master-planned grounds sized to match the houses, and a few older farmhouses along Sagg Main Street.
On Sagaponack's ocean side, salt spray and wind rule out a lot of the standard nursery list; screening plantings here lean on salt-tolerant species and get installed with more root protection than the same job would need a mile inland.
Sagaponack incorporated as its own village in 2005 and issues its own permits; rear-yard setback variances for garden structures and fencing on smaller lots are a recurring item at its zoning board. The Village of Sagaponack caps general fencing at 6 ft; an 8-ft deer fence needs a Zoning Board of Appeals variance, and the code appears to allow 8 ft by right only for properties in active agricultural production.
Permits in Sagaponack run through the Village of Sagaponack Building Department; the landscape pro we put you in touch with handles the filing where one is required.

FAQ
Planting design questions
What plants are actually deer-resistant in the Hamptons?
Rutgers Cooperative Extension rates plants on a four-tier scale from A (rarely damaged) to D (frequently severely damaged); sample A-rated plants include American holly, barberry, bayberry, bleeding heart and blue fescue. The important caveat: in winter, deer eat species they normally avoid entirely, explicitly including privet, arborvitae, euonymus and boxwood — the most common hedge and screening plants in the Hamptons. "Deer-resistant" means less preferred, not immune, and a hard winter with enough deer pressure will test even an A-rated planting list.
How does Bridgehampton Gardens work, and what does it cost me?
It costs homeowners nothing. You tell us, in about sixty seconds, whether you need design (a master plan or a planting design) or care (maintenance, cleanup, irrigation, deer fencing) — that first answer is the whole funnel. We put you in touch with one licensed, insured landscape pro who works your town and does that kind of work, and they call you within one business day. We are a Hamptons-only referral service, not a landscape architecture, design or maintenance company, and we are not connected to any garden, nursery or landscaper of a similar name. Participating pros pay us a referral fee.
