Transforming Kiawah Island Landscapes with Native and Deer Non-Preferred Plants

Kiawah Island, with its pristine beaches, scenic marshlands, and lush coastal beauty, is a dream location for many homeowners. However, creating and maintaining a thriving landscape on the island comes with unique challenges, including managing sandy soils, salt exposure, and a resident deer population that can wreak havoc on carefully designed gardens. Brownswood Nursery & Landscape is here to help. With years of expertise in Kiawah Island landscaping, we specialize in creating stunning, sustainable landscapes that overcome these challenges and reflect the natural beauty of the Lowcountry.  

In a recent project, our design and installation team partnered with a Kiawah Island homeowner to enhance their outdoor space. The result was a landscape that not only thrives in the island’s environment but also incorporates plants that are deer non-preferred, minimizing damage caused by foraging deer. By blending native plants with carefully selected non-native species, we ensured the landscape was both functional and visually striking. Check out the video and photos below for a closer look at the transformation and the attention to detail we bring to every project.
