Planting Design & Installation in Wainscott, NY
Planting installation in Wainscott runs about $3–15 per square foot for a bed, $25–230 per shrub and $8–25 per perennial (national 2026 ranges; no Long Island figure exists), with a mature screening evergreen the real cost driver at $2,400–12,000+ depending on size. We put Wainscott 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 Wainscott 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 Wainscott 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 Wainscott: what's different here
Farm-field estates and newer construction south of the highway toward Georgica Pond with master-planned grounds built in the last 25 years, older houses around Wainscott Main Street, and wooded lots north toward the airport.
Wainscott runs from salt-exposed ground near the water to sheltered inland lots, so the plant list for one part of town is often wrong for another; the site, not the town name, sets the palette.
Inside that same overlay, approvals can be conditioned on covenants granting the Town enforceable rights against over-clearing, over-landscaping and fertilizer use — a local layer of chemical restriction that can sit on top of the county and state rules everywhere else in the Hamptons. The Town's deer-fence code (permit above 4–6 ft, ARB approval, height caps of 6–8 ft) applies here the same as it does town-wide.
Permits in Wainscott run through the Town of East Hampton Planning Department and Architectural Review Board; 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.
