Sustainable Planting with Native Species
Using native plant communities provides a resilient, low‑input landscape that performs well in Indian River's coastal environment, sandy terrain, and warm climate. You specify function first: protect dunes with sea oats, establish boundaries with Simpson's stopper, and define entries with coontie or dwarf yaupon holly. Florida natives provide structure while decreasing maintenance needs.
Enhance habitat quality with strategically designed garden layers - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for butterfly and bee sustenance; firebush and coral honeysuckle for year-round blooming. Right‑plant, right‑place is nonnegotiable: match site conditions, soil requirements, final read more size, and weather resistance. Use plant communities, not individual plants, to achieve canopy, understory, and groundcover synergy. Specify locally grown, verified specimens to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Mulch with natural pine mulch or seashell for lasting protection and defined edges.
Efficient Irrigation Solutions
We optimize irrigation by incorporating smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that modify irrigation timing in real time.
