Top of the Line Landscaping recently transformed this aging front entry area in Commack, NY with a complete raised patio, retaining wall, and step redesign that dramatically improved both safety and curb appeal. The original timber retaining walls and deteriorating staircase had become worn, uneven, and visually outdated over time. By replacing the failing wood structure with a modern raised wall system and integrated steps, the property now has a cleaner, more durable entrance that better complements the home’s natural elevation and landscaping.
The new design creates a much more intentional flow from the driveway and roadside up to the front lawn and entrance, while also defining fresh planting areas around the foundation. The raised patio and wall system adds long-term structural stability while giving the entire front yard a polished, upscale appearance that still feels natural to the character of Commack and the surrounding Long Island neighborhood. Finished with elegant wall caps and refreshed planting beds, this project is a perfect example of how strategic masonry and landscape design can completely modernize a home without overwhelming its original charm.
