Our lighting utilizes weatherproof fixtures and corrosion-resistant hardware. We align setbacks, view corridors, and access to ensure your site operates efficiently during blue-sky days and recovers swiftly after coastal events.
Indigenous Plants and Eco-Friendly Planting
Incorporating native plant communities creates an adaptable, low‑input landscape that thrives in Indian River's maritime climate, beach soils, and warm climate. You determine function first: reinforce dunes with sea oats, establish boundaries with Simpson's stopper, and define entries with coontie or dwarf yaupon holly. Florida natives create the backbone while lowering maintenance needs.
Enhance habitat benefits with layered pollinator gardens - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for pollinator food sources; firebush and coral honeysuckle for seasonal continuity. Proper plant placement is essential: match site conditions, soil requirements, final size, and weather resistance. Use plant communities, not isolated specimens, to achieve balanced vertical layering. Select native, region-specific plants to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Apply shredded pine or shell for lasting protection and defined edges.
Water-Saving Irrigation Solutions
You can optimize irrigation by incorporating intelligent irrigation controls that regulate water delivery in real time.
