Indigenous Plants and Eco-Friendly Planting
Using native plant communities delivers an adaptable, low‑input landscape that thrives in Indian River's maritime climate, coastal soils, and warm climate. You specify function first: reinforce dunes with sea oats, screen areas with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with dwarf yaupon holly or coontie. Florida natives establish the framework while lowering maintenance needs.
Boost habitat benefits with strategically designed garden layers - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for pollinator food sources; hamelia and lonicera for continuous flowering cycles. Proper plant placement is essential: align environmental conditions, soil chemistry, growth patterns, and exposure levels. Establish plant associations, not single species, to establish balanced vertical layering. Choose native, region-specific plants to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Mulch with natural pine mulch or seashell for durability and clean lines.
Efficient Irrigation Solutions
Our system optimizes irrigation by utilizing moisture sensors and smart controllers that adjust watering schedules in real time. We implement drip systems with specialized zones to align with vegetation needs, decrease evaporation, and prevent overspray.
