Landscape Installation

End-to-end landscape installation across Palm City, Stuart, and the Treasure Coast — beds, trees, specimen palms, lawns, lighting, and features built from a plan by one in-house crew.

Overview

What this service is, and who it's for.

Installation is where a plan either gets built right or quietly gets watered down. The same team that scopes the project runs the install, so nothing gets lost in translation between the design review and the first truck pulling up on your driveway. On larger renovations and new construction, that continuity is often the difference between a landscape that holds up for a decade and one that needs rework in year three.

Every install starts with the parts most companies skip past. Beds are shaped and amended, not just dug. Irrigation is tested before mulch goes down. Specimen trees and palms are set with the root flare at or just above grade — never buried — because buried root flares are the leading cause of long-term palm failure in Florida yards. Lawns are prepped so sod has something to actually root into rather than a compacted layer that resists growth.

Our crews are led by a project point of contact who manages scheduling, deliveries, and daily progress. On larger installs we work in logical phases — demolition and prep first, then drainage and major grading, then hardscape and specimen trees, then softscape and lawn, finally lighting and finish. The site stays coordinated and you aren't stepping over pallets of pavers to reach your front door.

The first thirty days after install decide whether the landscape takes. Watering schedule, mulch depth, and establishment monitoring all matter more than most owners realize. We hand off a specific schedule at the final walkthrough, and clients who want it rolled into a recurring maintenance program can transition straight into one.

What's Included

Concrete scope — not vague promises.

  • Bed excavation, shaping, and soil amendment
  • Specimen tree and palm placement with proper root-flare depth

  • Mulch — pine, cypress, or shell as specified
  • Irrigation adjustment or new install coordinated with planting
  • Low-voltage lighting rough-in during install when in scope
  • Drainage and grading corrections before plantings go in
  • Site cleanup, debris haul-off, and final walkthrough
  • First-30-day establishment schedule and care guide

Our Process

How a landscape installation project runs.

  1. 01

    Pre-install walkthrough

    We review the approved plan on-site, confirm plant locations with you, mark utilities and existing conditions, and flag anything that needs changes before digging.

  2. 02

    Site prep & demo

    Existing material we're removing goes first — old sod, overgrown beds, dying plant material — followed by grading and drainage corrections where in scope.

  3. 03

    Install

    Specimen trees and palms first, then shrubs, groundcover, sod, and mulch. Irrigation is tested as beds are completed; lighting rough-in happens before mulch goes down.

  4. 04

    Walkthrough & care handoff

    We walk the finished property with you, cover the first-30-day watering schedule, and set up ongoing maintenance if you want it.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask.

Yes, we can install from an outside design, but we'll walk it with you first. If anything in the plan doesn't match the site or would cause problems (drainage, plant spacing, utility conflicts, root-flare depth), we flag it before we start digging. Honest early flags save thousands later.

Scheduling depends on scope and current project load. Smaller installs typically start within a few weeks of a signed proposal. Larger renovations and hardscape jobs schedule further out — we're straight with you about dates rather than promising faster than we can deliver.

We cover the first-watering schedule at the walkthrough. Most installs we recommend either our maintenance program or a very specific DIY schedule for the first 30 days — that window is where new plantings either succeed or fail. We'll be clear about which approach fits your situation.

We stand behind our work and address installation issues promptly. If plant material we installed fails under normal conditions, we'll make it right. We'll be upfront with you about what's covered and what isn't during the proposal stage so there are no surprises.

Often yes. We can structure an install so the structural layer — grading, drainage, hardscape, specimen trees — goes in first, with softscape and finish layers in a second phase. Some elements genuinely need to go in together to avoid rework; we'll flag which.

We prepare the drawings, plant lists, and material specs you'll need to submit to your HOA architectural review. Submission itself is typically handled by the homeowner, but we'll give you a package that passes.

If an irrigation system is in place, we test and adjust it as beds change shape — zones often need re-mapping when planting footprints change. If the system is dated or underperforming, we'll let you know and scope irrigation repair or upgrades alongside the install.
