What is Florida Friendly Landscaping?
Florida Friendly Landscaping is the principle of using low-maintenance plants and implementing the most eco-friendly practices to help maintain and protect the future of Florida’s natural water resources. Choosing landscaping that uses a minimum amount of water, fertilizer, and pesticides can add value to the community while also reducing the chance of over-extending or polluting the water supply. These landscaping choices can still result in attractive spaces that will be the envy of your entire neighborhood. There are many aspects to Florida Friendly Landscaping in Gainesville, including knowing where to plant the right plants in the right places, conserving water, using the right type of mulch and fertilizer, attracting the right type of wildlife, and managing pests and yard waste responsibly. We pride ourselves in our ability to help our customers do their part with Florida Friendly Landscapes. We offer free one-hour consultations to talk about your needs and wants when it comes to your landscaping, and we can help you create outdoor spaces that are both eco-friendly and beautiful. Check out our gallery and testimonials for examples of our hard work and our great work ethic. |
What is a Xeriscape?
Xeriscapes are landscapes that are designed for low-maintenance and require little to no irrigation. Choosing Florida-native plants that can thrive in the most extreme of conditions gives you more time to enjoy the things you love instead of being a slave to your yard. Xeriscapes are also great at bringing color to your outdoor space, and attracting many types of butterflies and different pollinators. Give your Gainesville landscape a pop of color and the peace of mind knowing the harsh conditions of drought or heat won’t affect your yard. Xeriscape landscaping is also very eco-friendly and resistant to the effects of climate change. As temperatures rise year after year, a xeriscape landscape is able to withstand and even thrive in more extreme conditions. In addition, xeriscape landscaping requires very little to no irrigation which means that water and energy consumption can be reduced to nearly zero and thereby reduces the carbon footprint left behind. |
