Frustrated?...Planting at the Crystal Coast can be a daunting and confusing task considering factors our varied temperate zone of the coast as opposed to the rest of the state, our soils range from clay to pure sand, the prevailing summer winds off the Atlantic which are laden with salt, and the occasional strong winds we may suffer from hurricanes that add to the coat of salt our plants receive in addition to the copious amounts of water.

Cedar Point Nursery and Landscaping stock and landscape with plants best suitable to survive these types of conditions.

In addition to part of Cedar Point Nursery's list of services we include stabilization of ocean front dunes using plants appropriate for this purpose.  We use several grasses including sea oats, American beach grass, bitter panicum, as well as an assortment of very adaptable trees and shrubs.  Here are a few of our storm tolerant, dune stabilizing staples we keep in stock at Cedar Point Nursery and Landscaping:

We can also install sand fencing to further stabilize your fragile dunes.

The opposite of the above would be "cool season" grasses such as bluegrass and fescues.  Many new residents in the area are astounded at the differences in the installation and care of these different turf grasses.

Scott has dealt with all of the above grasses for a number of years.  Rely on our combined experience with planting at the Crystal Coast to help you make good choices in your beach landscaping projects.
