Design for homes

Residential landscape design & installation

Landscaping ideas come in many forms, but most owners want their garden to make an impact. Here is what we can do for your home or rental property.

Ideas

Ideas that work in a Florida garden

Walkways

Walkways are popular in landscaping and a must for most projects. Nothing makes your garden classier than an intricate path weaving around your home or flower beds. Walkways can be built out of wood, paved cement, concrete, gravel and pebbles.

Flowering & ornamental trees

A bit more traditional and rustic, flowering trees work if you are aiming for a natural look. Popular flowering trees in Florida are gardenias, magnolias, jacaranda, royal poinciana, golden rain and crape myrtles.

Symmetrical planting

If you do not have time to groom your yard all year round, a symmetrical design works wonders. Grasses aligned symmetrically lift a property and are pleasing to the eye. Popular ornamental grasses in Florida include fakahatchee, muhly grass, red fountain, white fountain and lovegrass.

Low colorful flowers

Installing an assortment of low colorful flowers is the perfect graceful touch to complement any lawn.

Shaded patio

If you do not have a patio, it may be worth adding one. It can give you plenty of shade, making the space cool enough to relax in.

Mood lighting

Lighting creates a cozy atmosphere, helps on the nights you want to entertain friends, and lets your planting features be highlighted after dark.

Screens

If your backyard borders a road or an unsightly preserve area, plant material can reduce noise and add privacy. Popular choices include viburnum, azalea, bougainvillea, podocarpus, Leyland cypress, bamboo and pitch apple.

And the maintenance afterwards

We also look after private gardens week in, week out — mowing, pruning, weeding, fertilization, irrigation checks and seasonal color, so the new garden keeps looking new.
