Guidance from Gary Duff Designs

Decades of experience have taught us a few things, here’s what most clients want to know before we start.


  • Our portfolio showcases everything from complete outdoor living environments to focused upgrades like patios, pools, outdoor kitchens, and lighting. Each project reflects our family’s design philosophy, intentional, cohesive, and built to stand the test of time.

  • Yes. Every project featured was designed and built by our family-led team right here on Long Island, NY. It’s where we live, work, and have spent five decades shaping some of the region’s most distinctive landscapes.

  • In some cases, yes. Many of our clients are happy to share their experience and allow potential homeowners to see our work firsthand. Just ask during your consultation, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.


  • That’s what our design consultation is for. We’ll walk your property, talk through your goals, and determine whether you need a single feature, like a paver patio or outdoor kitchen, or a complete landscape transformation.

  • We take on select projects starting at $10K, and the same care and attention go into every design, regardless of scope. If the fit feels right, we’ll bring your vision to life with the same precision and creativity that define our legacy.
