LANDSCAPING — MIAMI, FL
We are a full-service landscaping crew working across Miami-Dade. Design, installation, irrigation and drainage, outdoor living spaces, and the recurring care that keeps everything alive. One team from the first walkthrough to the last hedge trim — no hand-offs, no call centers.
South Florida is its own climate: sandy soil, salt air, afternoon storms from June to September, and a watering schedule the county actually enforces. We plant for those realities — native and Florida-friendly species, St. Augustine and Zoysia turf matched to your light, drainage graded for the storm, not the brochure photo.
Every project starts with a free walkthrough and a plan with line-by-line sample pricing. If a plant will not make it on your street, we will tell you before we sell it to you.
"The cheapest yard is the one you only plant once."
— our crew's rule of thumb, said on every walkthrough
01 — DESIGN
A walkthrough first: we measure, note sun and shade through the day, check where water sits after rain, and ask how you use the space — kids, dogs, pool parties, or just a quiet coffee corner. Then a planting plan built around it: layers of groundcover, mid-height color, and canopy; Florida-friendly palettes following UF/IFAS guidance; hardscape drawn to scale before a shovel moves.
02 — INSTALL
Install order matters: irrigation lines go in before sod, hardscape before beds, planting before lighting. Sod on prepped soil — never on top of old weeds. Three inches of mulch, never a volcano around the trunk. Palms set at the right depth with the right mix. And we leave the driveway cleaner than we found it.
03 — WATER
Brown patches that are actually broken heads. A "dying" hedge that is drowning. A patio that floods because the downspout ends at the foundation. Irrigation repair starts with a full audit — every zone run, every head checked. Then: matched nozzles, rain sensors, controllers set to Miami-Dade's watering days. For the rainy season, the fix is drainage: French drains, regraded swales, catch basins.
04 — OUTDOOR LIVING
Patios with real drainage slope. Pergolas rated for the wind zone. Outdoor kitchens with gas and water run properly. Fire features at safe clearances. Low-voltage lighting that makes paths walkable after dark. We build the structure and plant around it in the same project, so it looks grown-in by the first barbecue.
Mowing, edging, hedge shaping, fertilization on a Florida schedule, storm-season prep. Same faces, every visit.

YARD REFRESH FROM — SAMPLE
"
St. Augustine in full sun, Zoysia where the oak shades half the lawn. Get that backwards and you will re-sod within two years. We measure the light before we quote the grass.
NOTE 01 — TURF CHOICE
"
Three inches of mulch. Not six, not a volcano piled against the trunk. Half the "sick trees" we get called about are just buried too deep.
NOTE 02 — MULCH
"
Trim weak limbs in May, clear the drains in May, check the rain sensor in May. June does not negotiate.
NOTE 03 — STORM SEASON
"
A patio that holds water holds mosquitoes. We grade every hardscape away from the house at a slope you can feel with your feet.
NOTE 04 — GRADING
"
Salt air kills inland plants within a mile of the bay. If you are east of US-1, the plant list changes — we plan for it.
NOTE 05 — SALT
Shade layers done right: canopy palms, fern understory, a path that drains. Sample concept — planting plan available on request.
Seating, pergola, and beds planted for evening light. Sample concept.
Low-voltage lighting that makes paths walkable after dark. Sample concept.
Thirty minutes on your property. We measure, we listen, we tell you what the yard actually needs — including what you should not spend money on. Call or text (555) 010-2030, Mon–Sat 8am–6pm.
