Fort Lauderdale
The foundation of South Florida's native landscape heritage—where authentic Florida ecology meets modern urban sophistication.
Unique Landscape Characteristics
Fort Lauderdale's diverse microclimates range from coastal areas with salt exposure to inland neighborhoods with heavier soils and more protected conditions. Historic properties feature mature native canopies that set the standard for authentic South Florida landscaping, while newer developments offer opportunities to establish native ecosystems from the ground up.
Our Experience Here
We've worked throughout Fort Lauderdale's neighborhoods, from downtown high-rise landscapes to sprawling suburban properties. Each project teaches us more about the subtle variations in soil, drainage, and microclimate that make the difference between landscapes that struggle and those that thrive.

Las Olas
South Florida's most prestigious boulevard, where historic estate landscapes set the standard for sophisticated native design.
Historic Landscape Legacy
The mature landscapes of Las Olas Boulevard and the surrounding Isles represent the gold standard of South Florida landscaping. These properties understood that working with native species creates landscapes of enduring beauty and value. Many feature canopies that were established decades ago and now provide the cathedral-like atmosphere that makes these properties so sought after.
Contemporary Challenges
Maintaining and enhancing these historic landscapes requires deep knowledge of mature tree care, understory renovation, and integration of new native plantings with established ecosystems. Salt air exposure, hurricane preparedness, and the aesthetic expectations of luxury waterfront properties demand specialist expertise.

- • Historic landscape restoration and enhancement
- • Salt-tolerant native species selection

- • Integration of contemporary amenities with historic character
Rio Vista
Fort Lauderdale's most iconic historic district, where authentic Florida landscape character meets contemporary luxury living standards.
Architectural Harmony
Rio Vista's Mediterranean Revival and Colonial Revival architecture demands landscapes that honor both historical authenticity and South Florida's natural character. The neighborhood's established tree canopy creates a template for how native species can provide sophisticated beauty while supporting the architectural styles that define this community.
Neighborhood Character
The tree-lined streets and established gardens of Rio Vista showcase what's possible when native South Florida species are given time to mature. Our work here focuses on maintaining this character while adapting to contemporary outdoor living needs and modern landscape expectations.
Rio Vista Native Palette

Coral Ridge
Golf course community landscapes that honor the natural beauty of South Florida's inland subtropical environments.
Golf Course Integration
Properties in Coral Ridge benefit from the open space and mature landscaping of the adjacent golf course, but also face unique challenges in creating private landscapes that complement rather than compete with these views. Native plantings provide the perfect solution—species that echo the natural Florida landscape while creating intimate outdoor spaces.
Inland Microclimate
Coral Ridge's location slightly inland from the coast creates different growing conditions than waterfront properties. Less salt exposure but more inland humidity and heat require native species selection that takes advantage of these conditions rather than fighting them. This is where our deep knowledge of South Florida ecology makes the difference.
Coral Ridge Advantages
- • Larger lots allowing for comprehensive native ecosystems
- • Golf course views enhanced by complementary native plantings
- • Mature community infrastructure supporting established landscapes
- • Inland conditions perfect for heat-loving native species
- • Community appreciation for sophisticated landscape design
Victoria Park
Charming historic neighborhoods where native landscapes complement both vintage architectural charm and contemporary renovation projects.
Historic Neighborhood Character
Victoria Park's mix of historic homes and contemporary renovations creates opportunities to showcase how native South Florida landscaping works with any architectural style. The neighborhood's established tree canopy provides inspiration and context for new plantings that honor both historical and ecological authenticity.
Urban Forest Integration
Working within Victoria Park's established urban forest requires understanding how new native plantings can integrate with existing mature trees while providing the privacy, beauty, and outdoor living spaces that modern homeowners expect. Our designs create layers of native plantings that work with the neighborhood's established character.
Victoria Park Specialties
- • Integration with existing mature neighborhood canopy
- • Renovation projects honoring historic character
- • Urban lot native landscaping solutions
- • Contemporary outdoor living with native plants
- • Neighborhood-sensitive landscape design

Harbor Beach & Lighthouse Point
Luxury coastal communities requiring specialized knowledge of salt-tolerant native species and hurricane-resistant landscape design.
Coastal Environment Expertise
Oceanfront and near-ocean properties face unique challenges that only native coastal species can truly handle. Salt spray, sandy soils, high winds, and storm surge potential require plant selections and landscape designs that work with these conditions rather than trying to overcome them.
Luxury Landscape Standards
Harbor Beach and Lighthouse Point properties expect landscape beauty that matches their premium locations and architectural investments. Our native designs provide this sophistication while ensuring long-term success in challenging coastal conditions.
Coastal Native Specialists
- • Sea grape for ultimate salt tolerance and privacy
- • Cocoplums for coastal hedging and hurricane resistance
- • Sabal palms for tropical character and wind resistance
- • Beach sunflower and sea oats for dune stabilization
- • Native grasses for low-maintenance coastal beauty
Hurricane Preparedness
Our coastal landscape designs prioritize hurricane resistance—species selection that bends without breaking, root systems that provide erosion control, and landscape structures that protect rather than threaten property during storm events.
