You know that feeling when you drive through neighborhoods with those perfectly maintained landscapes? The ones that make you slow down just to look?
That’s what happens when landscaping is done right. Your outdoor space becomes the standard everyone else measures against. No more apologizing for brown patches or explaining away that “temporary” pile of mulch.
When we finish your project, you’ll have the kind of landscape that works with Florida’s challenging climate instead of fighting it. The kind that looks intentional, not accidental.
Since 1995, Mainstreet Landscaping has been the family-owned business that Citrus County homeowners call when they’re tired of dealing with unreliable contractors.
We’re not just landscapers—we’re your complete outdoor solution. State-licensed irrigation, authorized Tremron and Belgard paver installation, and the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in the county. When hurricanes hit Inverness Highlands South, we’re out helping with cleanup before most companies even return phone calls.
That’s the difference between a business and a community partner.
First, we come to your property and listen. Not the kind of listening where someone’s already planning what they want to sell you, but actual listening to what you need and what’s realistic for your space.
Then comes the honest assessment. We’ll tell you what’s possible, what’s not, and why. No sugar-coating the challenges that come with Florida’s sandy soil and unpredictable weather patterns.
Once you’re both on the same page, the work begins. We show up when we say we will, use the materials we promised, and clean up after ourselves every day. When we’re done, you’ll know exactly what was installed and how to maintain it.

Your Inverness Highlands South property faces unique challenges. The sandy Myakka soil that covers most of Florida. The humidity that breeds fungal problems. The sudden storms that can undo months of work in one afternoon.
That’s why we handle everything—from the foundation up. Professional irrigation systems that actually work with your soil conditions. Hardscapes built to withstand Florida weather. Native plant selections that thrive instead of just survive.
Whether it’s a complete landscape overhaul or fixing what someone else started, we bring the right equipment, the right materials, and enough experience to handle whatever we find once the work begins.
Inverness Highlands South sits in Citrus County, where the soil is primarily sandy Myakka—Florida’s official state soil that covers over 1.5 million acres. This fine, gray sand drains quickly but doesn’t hold nutrients well, which means your plants need different care than they would in other regions.
The area also deals with Florida’s intense humidity and sudden weather changes. What works in drier climates often fails here because of fungal issues and root rot from excessive moisture. That’s why choosing plants and materials specifically suited to Central Florida’s conditions isn’t just smart—it’s necessary for long-term success.
Most residential projects in Inverness Highlands South take 3-7 days, depending on scope and weather. A basic landscape refresh might be done in a long weekend, while comprehensive hardscaping with irrigation can take two weeks.
Florida weather plays a bigger role in timing than most homeowners expect. Heavy rains can delay concrete work, and extreme heat affects when certain plants can be safely installed. We plan projects around these realities rather than promising unrealistic timelines that set everyone up for frustration.
The key is starting with realistic expectations and clear communication about what factors might affect your specific timeline.
Yes, we’re state-licensed irrigation contractors, which matters more than most people realize. Unlicensed irrigation work is common in Florida, but it often creates problems that cost thousands to fix later.
Inverness Highlands South’s sandy soil requires specific irrigation techniques to prevent water waste and ensure even coverage. We design systems that work with your soil conditions and local water pressure, not against them. This means fewer dry spots, lower water bills, and plants that actually thrive.
We also handle repairs on existing systems, whether we installed them or not. Most irrigation problems stem from poor initial design rather than equipment failure, so we focus on fixing the root cause, not just the symptoms.
We’re authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard—the premium paver manufacturers. This isn’t just a marketing claim; it means we’ve met strict installation standards and use proper techniques that most contractors skip.
In Florida’s climate, paver installation is about more than making things look good initially. Poor base preparation leads to settling and shifting within a few years. Inadequate drainage causes problems during heavy rains. We handle the technical details that determine whether your investment lasts five years or twenty-five.
As the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in Citrus County, we also offer protection treatments that most competitors can’t provide. This keeps your pavers looking new and prevents weeds and staining.
We’ve been helping Citrus County residents with hurricane cleanup since 1995, so we understand both the immediate damage and the long-term recovery process. When storms hit Inverness Highlands South, we prioritize safety hazards first—removing fallen trees and debris that pose risks.
The recovery phase is where experience really matters. We know which plants and structures are worth saving versus which need complete replacement. We also understand how storm damage affects drainage patterns and soil conditions, so the repairs actually improve your property’s resilience.
Being local and established means we’re here for the cleanup, not just the profitable installation work. That’s the difference between a community business and contractors who show up after disasters looking for quick money.
We come to your property and spend time understanding what you actually want versus what you think you’re supposed to want. Too many landscaping disasters start with miscommunication during the planning phase.
You’ll get honest feedback about what’s realistic for your space, budget, and maintenance preferences. If your ideas won’t work with Inverness Highlands South’s soil conditions or climate, we’ll explain why and suggest alternatives that will actually succeed.
The consultation includes discussing timeline, materials, and maintenance requirements upfront. No surprises about additional costs or unrealistic expectations about care requirements. By the end, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting and what it will take to maintain it properly.
