Working around an existing garden

Identify the planting, paving and outdoor features you want to retain around the proposed location and equipment access route.

Confirm the property before the plans

For a property in Sag Harbor Village, the Village Building Department handles building and zoning questions. Start with your property address to confirm the applicable department. Its published guidance and application documents can help you prepare for that conversation.

Water storage for a coastal garden

When a Sag Harbor property relies on well water, a separately supplied cistern can shift irrigation demand away from that well. Choose the storage capacity with your irrigation contractor and plan how it will be replenished.

Coastal groundwater conditions vary by property. Arrange testing and a well assessment if salinity is a concern.

Water delivery and refills

You or your property manager can coordinate water deliveries directly, or Binder Pools can help arrange them if needed. Agree on the water source, gallons per load, fill connection and delivery access before scheduling the first fill.

Wells, saltwater intrusion and delivery planning

Plan your Sag Harbor cistern

Email your property address, any available site or irrigation plans, and photos of the proposed location and equipment access. Include the intended irrigation use and proposed fill source.
