Discover the Story Behind Island Roots Landscaping
With personalized service and high-end craftsmanship, we create outdoor spaces that make your home feel like its very own luxury escape.
WE ARE ISLAND ROOTS LANDSCAPING
Island Roots Landscaping was built on a simple belief:
your home should feel like your own personal escape.
As a locally owned design-and-build company serving Central & North Jersey, we pour that philosophy into every space we create – blending the calm, inviting feel of an island getaway with the comfort of home.
Our founder, Kevin Braswell Jr., is hands-on with every project. He listens to what you’re dreaming of, studies how you live in your space, and makes sure every detail from the layout to the materials to the finishing touches feels intentional and true to you. His passion comes from helping people step into their yard and instantly feel a little lighter, a little more at ease to destress when you need it most.
Endless possibilities like outdoor kitchens and stone patios to planting design, water features, and full-property refreshes, we focus on creating environments that aren’t just beautiful to look at, but relaxing to be in. Spaces where you can unwind, entertain, connect, and feel like you’ve stepped into your own private retreat, right outside your back door.
What We Offer:
Your home deserves a landscape that feels like its own private retreat — and we’re here to build it.

Design That Feels Like a Getaway
We don’t just install patios or plant beds, we craft outdoor spaces that feel like a breath of fresh air. Our designs blend beauty, comfort, and a touch of island calm to create the kind of environment you’ll want to unwind in every single day.
Craftsmanship You Can Trust
Every detail matters. From stonework to lighting to the smallest planting choices, we use quality materials and thoughtful techniques to ensure your space not only looks incredible, but lasts through New Jersey’s seasons year after year.
Local Expertise, Personalized Experience
As a New Jersey-based business, we understand the homes, neighborhoods, and landscapes here. We tailor every project to fit your property, your lifestyle, and the way you want to enjoy your outdoor space to create results that feel natural and uniquely yours.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is simple: to help New Jersey homeowners create outdoor spaces that genuinely make life better. Spaces that feel peaceful. Spaces that feel personal. Spaces that make you exhale the moment you step outside.
For us, this work isn’t just about landscaping, it’s about giving families a place to reconnect, recharge, and enjoy the little moments that often get overlooked. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee on a new stone patio, the sound of water trickling from a custom feature, or a backyard designed for hosting everyone you love, those experiences are what drive us.
At Island Roots Landscaping, we approach every project with care, intention, and a deep respect for the homes and communities we serve. We believe your yard should feel like your own private retreat, crafted thoughtfully and built to last through New Jersey’s changing seasons.
Our goal is to design spaces that bring joy, comfort, and a sense of home — every single day.
