You get precision-engineered heights, dune friendly grading, and permeable surfaces that move water without erosion.

We specify salt-resistant plants matched to microclimates, anchoring edges with deep-root systems to resist erosion and uplift. Our hardscape choices prioritize durability against corrosion, anti-slip properties, and heat management. The irrigation system is zoned and sensor-managed to avoid excess watering in salt-affected soils. Our lighting utilizes sealed fixtures and corrosion-resistant hardware. We arrange setbacks, view corridors, and access to guarantee your site performs optimally during clear weather and recovers swiftly after maritime weather.

Native Plants and Sustainable Planting

Using native plant communities produces a resilient, low‑input landscape that excels in Indian River's coastal environment, sandy soils, and hot weather. You determine function first: stabilize dunes with sea oats, create privacy with Simpson's stopper, and mark entries with native palms or ground cover. Florida natives establish check here the framework while decreasing fertilizer and pruning requirements.

Boost habitat benefits with strategically designed garden layers - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for nectar and larval resources; native fire plant and trumpet honeysuckle for year-round blooming. Right‑plant, right‑place is nonnegotiable: align salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Use plant communities, not isolated specimens, to establish canopy, understory, and groundcover synergy. Select locally grown, verified specimens to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Apply shredded pine or shell for longevity and neat appearance.

Water-Wise Irrigation Solutions

We optimize irrigation by implementing smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that modify irrigation timing in real time. We install drip systems with dedicated zones to align with vegetation needs, decrease evaporation, and eliminate overspray. To ensure sustainability, we combine rain harvesting with pump-driven supply lines and backflow protection, prioritizing stored water before municipal water sources.

Smart Controllers and Sensors

Smart-controller irrigation delivers intelligent precision management to your landscape, minimizing water usage while protecting plant health. We utilize controllers that incorporate weather feeds and Microclimate Sensors to optimize runtimes by zone. Predictive Scheduling analyzes evapotranspiration, sun exposure, wind, and canopy density so you irrigate only when needed. Ground moisture sensors confirm in-ground conditions, avoiding unnecessary cycles and protecting root zones from saturation.

Our system provides robust Fault Detection: monitoring systems evaluate planned and real-time usage, promptly identifying leaks, stuck valves, or broken heads. Real-time updates are delivered to your smartphone, and we can lock out affected circuits until service.

The result: stronger vegetation, reduced service calls, and quantifiable water conservation.

Drip Systems and Zone Management

Optimize water delivery at the root zone with customized drip systems that dispense measured gallons per hour directly to your plants' roots. Experience controlled irrigation, limited evaporation, and balanced distribution across garden areas with different consumption.

We develop hydrozones using emitters specifically chosen for plant types, soil conditions, and gradients. Various emitter configurations allow precise watering of hedges, beds, and specimen trees while preventing water waste. Precise pressure management ensures steady distribution, preventing emitter blowouts and uneven wetting. We specify filtration to safeguard emission points, then set lateral spacing and emitter spacing based on soil absorption to ensure optimal water absorption.

You can manage individual zones for seasonal adjustments and establishment periods. We ensure optimal function through pressure and flow testing, and record the layout, valve configurations and upkeep protocols for consistent, effective irrigation.

Rainwater Integration System

Across the entire system, we integrate rain capture into your irrigation system to reduce municipal water usage and regulate soil moisture. We begin by analyzing site hydraulics: calculate harvesting capacity, drainage capabilities, and initial runoff amounts, then select food-grade roof cisterns matched with storm intensity and drought targets. We integrate pre-filtration with ozone or UV, align pump curves to emitter pressure, and automate valves via moisture readings and weather forecasts.

You'll get tiered storage that combines harvested rainwater with recycled graywater where regulations allow, supplying non-potable water to irrigation areas without contamination concerns.
