Contact Gary Duff Designs to Start Your Project

Scheduling starts with a phone call to 631-737-4229 or the contact form on this site. We talk through your goals, your property, and your timeline, then set a convenient time to meet at the house. Consultations happen on site rather than in an office, since a plan built without walking the property is a guess. There is no cost or obligation attached to the visit.

The first meeting is about understanding your property and your goals, not selling you a package. Gary Duff Designs walks the space with you, listens to what you have in mind, and assesses grade, drainage, sun exposure, and existing conditions. You get honest feedback on what the site will support and a realistic sense of scope and investment before anything moves forward. If we are not the right fit for what you want, we say so at that meeting.

Gary Duff Designs takes on select projects starting at $10K, ranging from focused enhancements to full-property outdoor living designs. A compact patio, a planting renovation, or a single feature receives the same design attention as a complete transformation. Scope changes the size of the drawing set, not the standard of the work. What matters more than budget is whether the design goals and the property make sense together.

Start dates depend on project scope, permitting requirements, and the time of year. Once your design plan is approved, Gary Duff Designs provides a clear schedule covering permitting, material lead times, and construction phases so you know what to expect and when. Spring and early summer carry the longest lead times on Long Island, which is why homeowners planning for next season often begin design in fall or winter. Building the timeline honestly up front is better than promising a date the season cannot support.

Our office at 487 Furrows Road in Holbrook, NY is open to clients by appointment. Meeting by appointment means someone who knows your project is available and prepared rather than pulled off a job site. In-person meetings work well for reviewing plans, comparing material samples, and talking through options that are easier to see than describe. Call 631-737-4229 to arrange a time.
