Florida Landscaping

Having moved to Florida in 2004, landscaping quickly became a major challenge.   The Florida climate  is perfect for all types of plants, weeds and insects.  Management and control of each is imperative.  For example, we now understand that spring brings dry weather patterns and drought like conditions.  Florida drought conditions present the perfect  environment for destructive chinch bugs.  These tiny pests must be eradicated to protect your St. Augustine grass.

A Florida-friendly yard offers beautiful landscapes while protecting natural resources and preserving Florida's unique beauty.  Florida-friendly landscaping is an extension of water conserving Xeriscape planting that was started in Colorado.

The University of Florida, in conjunction with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFMD), has developed information and materials on Florida-friendly landscaping.   Here are some tips to help you get started.  We also recommend you make connections in your community with Florida-friendly landscaping experts.
