Landscaping in Beaufort, NC
Landscape design, walkways, patios and fireplaces for historic and waterfront homes in one of North Carolina's oldest towns.
Landscaping That Fits Beaufort's Character
Beaufort was laid out in 1713 and is the third-oldest town in North Carolina, and its streets are lined with homes that have stood for generations. Islandscapes designs and builds landscapes that respect that history, from brick-toned walkways and garden walls to plantings that soften an older home's front porch.
Newer homes outside the historic core get the same care. Whether you want a backyard fireplace, a patio for entertaining or a full landscape plan, we design around your home's style and the salt air that comes off the water.

Landscaping Historic and Waterfront Homes
Beaufort sits between the Newport and North rivers near Beaufort Inlet, and its historic district covers some of the town's oldest streets. In a local historic district, North Carolina law requires a certificate of appropriateness before adding or changing features like masonry walls, fences, steps and paving. We plan hardscapes with that in mind, and choose plants that handle salt air near the water.
How We Approach Beaufort Projects:
- Materials and colors chosen to suit older architecture
- Hardscape plans you can bring to the town if approval is needed
- Salt-tolerant plantings for homes close to the water
Year Beaufort Was Laid Out

Beaufort Landscaping Questions
Yes. In a local historic district, North Carolina law requires a certificate of appropriateness before adding or changing features like masonry walls, fences, steps and paving. We'll design your project with that in mind and give you clear plans to share with the town if approval is needed.
Classic materials and simple layouts usually look best. Brick-toned or natural stone walkways, low garden walls and layered plantings around the porch tend to fit older homes better than bold, modern designs. We'll design around your home's age and style.
Yes. A paver or stone walkway is one of the simplest ways to connect your front door, driveway, patio and garden. We build each path on a compacted base so it stays level and safe to walk on for years.
Yes. Homes near the water in Beaufort deal with salt air, wind and storm tides, so we choose plants that tolerate salt and build hardscapes on solid bases that hold up close to the water.
