Landscaping in Swansboro, NC
From the historic downtown to the waterfront, we build patios, plant gardens and care for lawns in the Friendly City by the Sea.
Landscaping in the Friendly City by the Sea
Swansboro has been a waterfront town since it was incorporated in 1783, and its historic downtown sits right where the White Oak River meets the Intracoastal Waterway. Islandscapes designs and builds patios, planting beds and walkways for Swansboro homes, and keeps lawns looking their best through the busy festival and fishing seasons.
Many homes here sit close to the water, which brings great views along with humid air, salt and heavy rain. We plan every patio and planting bed so it handles those conditions and still looks good years from now.

Planning for Water, Wind and Heavy Rain
Swansboro sits along the White Oak River and the Intracoastal Waterway, across from Hammocks Beach State Park. In 2018, Hurricane Florence dropped a record 30.58 inches of rain on the town. Waterfront yards here need patios and beds built to drain, and plants that can handle both soggy stretches and salty, windy days.
How We Build in Swansboro:
- Patios and walkways graded so water runs away from your home
- Plants that tolerate wet spells as well as salt and wind
- Designs that suit both historic downtown homes and newer waterfront houses
Inches of Rain
Hurricane Florence set a record in Swansboro, which is why drainage matters here.
