Our Story

We became part time residents of Beach Haven West, NJ just before Covid hit. Our house was newly built, but our property was the standard stone and pavers. We needed something to break up the boring scenery, so we tried the traditional route of live plants. It looked great in the Spring, but once the Summer heat arrived, our weekend visits weren’t enough to keep the plants watered and alive. Storms and winds were another issue, leaving the plants damaged.  After some research, we found artificial plants made for the outdoors could be a viable option. Who knew? Still learning about the products available, we bought from Amazon and a few other online sites. “Planting” the faux plants was easy… dig a hole, stick them in the ground, no watering, no dead plants. The plants lasted about a year and still looked good. Next season they were brittle and faded from the winter and the sun and the overall weather conditions of the Jersey Shore. Nothing left but bare stems and plastic leaves all over the yard.  We knew we were on to something with outdoor artificial plants, but still had more research to do on available products. Our goal was no-maintenance landscaping that had good curb and lagoon appeal that was affordable, and looked “in bloom” year round. We made it our mission to find a quality product to provide a new aesthetic. Now partnered with a few different commercial grade manufacturers,  we have found the quality we were looking for in artificial plants, flowers, shrubs, trees, boulders, and glass pebbles. These products are designed to stand up to the elements, unlike what the average consumer will find when they search for outdoor artificial plants. We took the plunge in 2024 and started “Shore Looks Real Gardens”. Take back your weekends! Let us make your yard beautiful and maintenance-free.
