Coastal-Smart Landscape Design
Given that Indian River is located at the convergence of shifting water tables, salt, and wind, Coastal‑Smart Landscape Design starts with physics-based resilience. Our team examines soil salinity, exposure, and storm surge data, then chart drainage pathways to maintain dry structures and stable landscapes. You get engineered elevations, erosion-resistant grading, and erosion-resistant permeable surfaces for water management.
We select salt-resistant plants tailored to microclimates, securing boundaries with strong-root systems to prevent displacement and lifting. Hardscape selections focus on durability against corrosion, slip resistance, and heat management. Irrigation is zoned and sensor-driven to prevent excess watering in high-salt soils. Lighting uses protected fixtures and marine-grade hardware. We align setbacks, view corridors, and access so your site functions effectively during clear weather and recovers swiftly after coastal events.
Native Plants and Sustainable Planting
Utilizing native plant communities creates a resilient, low‑input landscape that excels in Indian River's saline air, sandy terrain, and tropical conditions. You specify function first: protect dunes with sea oats, buffer views with Simpson's stopper, and enhance entries with coontie or dwarf yaupon holly. Florida natives provide structure while reducing fertilizer and pruning requirements.
Boost habitat quality with layered pollinator gardens - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for butterfly and bee sustenance; native fire plant and trumpet honeysuckle for seasonal continuity. Proper plant placement is essential: align salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Create plant groupings, not single species, to create harmonious multi-level plantings. Select native, region-specific plants to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Layer pine straw or crushed shell for lasting protection and defined edges.
Smart Water Irrigation Solutions
Our system optimizes irrigation by utilizing moisture sensors and smart controllers that modify irrigation timing in real time. We install drip systems with specialized zones to match plant water requirements, minimize evaporation, and eliminate overspray. To complete the system, we combine rain harvesting with pump-fed supply lines and backflow protection, favoring harvested water before public water systems.
Intelligent Control Systems and Sensors
Intelligent irrigation control provides intelligent precision management to your outdoor space, cutting water waste while safeguarding plant health. We implement controllers that incorporate weather feeds and Microclimate Sensors to adjust runtimes by zone. Intelligent scheduling systems analyzes water evaporation, sun exposure, wind, and canopy density so you irrigate only when needed. Ground moisture sensors confirm in-ground conditions, avoiding unnecessary cycles and safeguarding root zones from saturation.
We deliver robust Fault Detection: monitoring systems evaluate anticipated and current consumption, instantly flagging equipment failures, valve malfunctions, or damaged sprinklers. Notifications are sent directly to your mobile device, and we can lock out affected circuits until service. We fine-tune system parameters, seasonal settings, and absorption rates to align with your landscape's topography, soil composition, and plant types. The benefit: healthier plants, fewer callbacks, and measurable water savings.
Drip Systems and Zone Management
Achieve precise irrigation control at the root zone with customized drip systems that dispense measured gallons per hour directly to your plants' roots. You get exact water flow, reduced evaporation, and balanced distribution across growing zones with diverse water needs.
We design hydrozones using targeted irrigation based on vegetation, soil composition, and terrain. Multiple irrigation delivery methods enable specific irrigation for garden beds, hedgerows, and mature trees without overspray. Controlled water pressure maintains consistent flow, avoiding system failures and irregular watering. Our filtration systems are designed to maintain clean water flow, then set lateral spacing and emitter spacing based on soil absorption to avoid runoff and perched water.
You'll be able to control individual zones for establishment cycles and seasonal changes. We ensure optimal function through pressure and flow testing, followed by documenting the system layout, valve groupings and maintenance requirements for reliable, efficient watering.
Rain Capture Integration
Across the entire system, we integrate rain harvesting into your irrigation setup to reduce municipal water usage and regulate soil moisture. We initiate with site hydraulics: assess catchment yield, drainage capabilities, and initial runoff amounts, then specify food-grade roof cisterns designed for storm intensity and drought targets. We combine pre-filtration with ultraviolet or ozone treatment, coordinate pump curves to emitter pressure, and regulate valves via moisture readings and weather forecasts.
We provide tiered storage that combines collected rain with recycled graywater where codes permit, providing alternative water sources to drip irrigation zones without cross-connection risk. Our team creates overflow pathways to natural filtration areas and absorption beds, preventing erosion and optimizing water absorption. Smart monitoring systems monitor storage capacity, emphasize harvested water use, and switch to utility supply automatically.
Custom Hardscapes and Outdoor Living
You're looking for hardscapes that perform and look seamless, so we design patio and walkway layouts with correct elevations, drainage, and material specs for weather conditions and usage.

We skillfully engineer outdoor cooking areas and fire features to align perfectly with your traffic patterns, wind directions, and visual perspectives. You'll benefit from proper clearances, fire-resistant materials, and properly certified utilities.
We select wood or gas installations depending on available fuel sources, heat needs, and ash disposal. High-quality components like burn rings and refractory materials provide performance and durability. In outdoor cooking spaces, we integrate premium stainless components with sealed storage and ventilated spaces. Durable stone and porcelain countertops resist heat, citrus, and salt air.
The hardscape plan seamlessly incorporates essential utilities like drainage and lighting. The seating wall layout maximizes comfort and viewing angles. The finishing touches complement your building's design, resulting in an elegant outdoor environment that requires minimal upkeep.
Illumination That Combines Safety and Style
Often overlooked, landscape lighting acts as a vital component that enhances night-time safety while enhancing your property's visual identity. We create solutions that meet standards and surroundings, matching light levels with movement paths and sight angles. You receive pathway illumination that eliminates tripping hazards without harsh light. We plan fixture placement to prevent hot spots, trespass, and shadows that hide walkways, elevation shifts, or water boundaries.
We specify warm color temperature LEDs (2700K to 3000K) for hospitality environments and 4000K accents for architectural definition, all with high CRI for authentic color representation. Precision beam spreads and glare control ensure targeted lighting. Downlights brighten canopies, while low-profile bollards guide entries. Automatic light detection and SMART dimming deliver dependable performance and tailored scenes. The effect: safer navigation, stronger curb appeal, and a unified evening appearance that elevates your home's design.
