Sustainable Planting with Native Species
Utilizing native plant communities provides a hardy, low‑input landscape that thrives in Indian River's saline air, beach soils, and tropical conditions. You determine function first: secure dunes with sea oats, create privacy with Simpson's stopper, and enhance entries with dwarf here yaupon holly or coontie. Florida natives form the foundation while minimizing fertilizer and pruning requirements.
Improve habitat value with multi-level pollinator plantings - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for pollinator food sources; native fire plant and trumpet honeysuckle for year-round blooming. Appropriate species selection is crucial: consider salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Use plant communities, not isolated specimens, to create canopy, understory, and groundcover synergy. Select locally grown, verified specimens to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Layer pine straw or crushed shell for durability and clean lines.
Smart Water Irrigation Solutions
We optimize irrigation by incorporating moisture sensors and smart controllers that modify irrigation timing in real time.
