Landscape Design & Installation
Plant and tree installation
New beds, shrubs, palms and trees, planted at the right depth and spacing and set up to root in through Florida heat.
What is included
What goes into planting
Bed prep
Old growth and weeds cleared, edges shaped, and the soil loosened so new roots can spread.
Planting
Each plant set at the right depth, with the top of the root ball at or slightly above grade.
Palms and trees
Placed for their mature size, clear of the roof, walls, walkways and utility lines.
Finish
Watered in and mulched, so the bed holds moisture and looks finished on day one.
Florida know-how
Getting new plants through the first year
The hardest part of any planting is establishment. Until roots grow out of the nursery ball and into the surrounding soil, a new plant depends on steady water. In sandy Florida soil a root ball can dry out in a day or two of summer sun.
Trees and larger shrubs take longer to establish than small plants, often many months. Planting too deep is one of the most common reasons a new tree struggles, which is why depth gets checked on every plant.

FAQ
Common questions
When is the best time to plant?
In most of Florida you can plant year round. The summer rainy season helps with watering, and the cooler months are easier on new plants. Either way, new plantings need regular water until they root in.
How deep should a tree be planted?
The point where the trunk flares out at the base should sit at or just above the soil. A buried root flare can weaken a tree for years.
Should new beds get fertilizer right away?
Usually not much. New plants need water and time to grow roots first. Heavy feeding at planting can do more harm than good, and many local rules limit fertilizer during the rainy season.
