Outdoor Living for a Year-Round Coastal Town
Morehead City is a working waterfront town, with a state port, a busy fishing fleet and a growing number of retirees who live here year-round. Islandscapes helps Morehead City homeowners get more out of their yards, with outdoor kitchens, patios, planting plans and lawn care that keep the property looking good in every season.
Fishing is part of daily life here, and the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament has been held in town since 1957. That makes an outdoor kitchen for cooking the day's catch a natural fit for a Morehead City backyard.

Landscaping Along Bogue Sound
Morehead City sits on a peninsula, with Bogue Sound to the south and the Newport River to the east. Homes near the water get salt air and strong wind, while neighborhoods away from the water get more shade and less wind. Since most people here live in town all year, we design for every season, not just summer weekends.
What We Plan For Here:
- Stainless appliances and stone chosen to stand up to salt air
- Plant choices that match how close your home is to the sound
- Easy-care designs that stay neat all year with little upkeep
First Big Rock Tournament
A fishing town through and through, made for cooking the catch outdoors.
