Coastal-Smart Landscape Design
Since Indian River sits at the intersection of salt, wind, and shifting water tables, Coastal‑Smart Landscape Design starts with physics-based resilience. We analyze soil salinity, exposure, and storm surge data, then chart drainage patterns to maintain dry structures and stable landscapes. You get engineered elevations, dune-compatible terrain, and erosion-resistant permeable surfaces for water management.
We specify salt-adapted plants aligned with microclimates, securing perimeters with deep-root systems to prevent displacement and lifting. Hardscape selections emphasize corrosion resistance, slip coefficients, and thermal performance. The irrigation system is zone-based and sensor-controlled to prevent excess watering in high-salt soils. Illumination features sealed fixtures and corrosion-resistant hardware. We align setbacks, view corridors, and access to ensure your site operates efficiently during clear weather and rebounds quickly after coastal events.
Sustainable Planting with Native Species
Using native plant communities delivers a durable, low‑input landscape that excels in Indian River's saline air, coastal soils, and warm climate. You specify function first: secure dunes with sea oats, establish boundaries with Simpson's stopper, and mark entries with native palms or ground cover. Florida natives establish the framework while decreasing fertilizer and pruning requirements.
Boost habitat quality with strategically designed garden layers - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for nectar and larval resources; hamelia and lonicera for seasonal continuity. Appropriate species selection is crucial: match site conditions, soil requirements, final size, and weather resistance. Use plant communities, not single species, to create canopy, understory, and groundcover synergy. Choose locally grown, verified specimens to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Mulch with natural pine mulch or seashell for durability and clean lines.
Water-Wise Irrigation Solutions
Our system optimizes irrigation by incorporating smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that modify irrigation timing in real time.

The benefit: thriving landscapes, decreased maintenance needs, and documented water efficiency.
All About Drip Systems and Zones
Fine-tune your watering system at the root zone with purpose-built drip systems that supply measured gallons per hour directly to your plants' roots. You get controlled irrigation, limited evaporation, and uniform distribution across garden areas with diverse demand.
We implement watering zones utilizing zoned emitters matched to plant types, soil conditions, and gradients. Various emitter configurations allow precise watering of landscape features and plantings with precise application. Proper pressure regulation ensures steady distribution, eliminating pressure issues and inconsistent coverage. We specify filtration to protect orifices, and carefully position irrigation components based on soil absorption preventing water pooling and excess surface flow.
You'll have complete control of individual zones for seasonal modifications and growth phases. We verify system performance through comprehensive system tests, and record the system layout, valve groupings and upkeep protocols for dependable, efficient water delivery.
Rain Collection Integration
Across the entire system, we integrate rain capture into your irrigation design to offset potable demand and maintain soil moisture. We start with site hydraulics: determine catchment yield, gutter capacity, and first-flush volumes, then specify food-grade roof cisterns sized to storm intensity and drought targets. We pair pre-filtration with UV or ozone, match pump curves to emitter pressure, and automate valves via moisture readings and weather forecasts.
Our system offers tiered storage that combines harvested rainwater with recycled graywater where regulations allow, supplying non-potable water to drip irrigation zones without system interference. We design overflow pathways to natural filtration areas and absorption beds, preventing erosion and maximizing groundwater recharge.
