Our hardscape choices emphasize durability against corrosion, slip coefficients, and thermal performance. The irrigation system is zone-based and sensor-controlled to avoid excess watering in high-salt soils. Lighting uses protected fixtures and corrosion-resistant hardware. We align setbacks, view corridors, and access to guarantee your site performs optimally during blue-sky days and bounces back rapidly after shoreline incidents.
Indigenous Plants and Eco-Friendly Planting
Utilizing native plant communities creates a durable, low‑input landscape that performs well in Indian River's coastal environment, beach soils, and warm climate. You select function first: secure dunes with sea oats, buffer views with Simpson's stopper, and enhance entries with dwarf yaupon holly or coontie. Florida natives provide structure while reducing care requirements.
Improve habitat quality with strategically designed garden layers - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for pollinator food sources; hamelia check here and lonicera for year-round blooming. Proper plant placement is essential: match site conditions, soil requirements, final size, and weather resistance. Establish plant associations, not isolated specimens, to achieve balanced vertical layering. Specify certified, locally sourced stock to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Layer pine straw or crushed shell for longevity and neat appearance.
Water-Wise Irrigation Solutions
You can optimize irrigation by implementing smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that modify irrigation timing in real time.
