You’re tired of looking at that same uninspiring yard. You know it could be something special, but between work, family, and everything else, who has time to figure out drainage issues, plant selection, and hardscape installation?
That’s where we come in. When we’re done, you’ll have outdoor spaces that make sense for how you actually live. Patios that don’t flood when it rains. Irrigation systems that work without you thinking about them. Landscapes that look great year-round without constant babysitting.
No more stressing about weekend yard work or wondering if your next landscaping project will turn into a money pit. Just outdoor spaces you can finally enjoy.
We’ve been solving outdoor problems for Ocklawaha families for nearly three decades. We’re the family-owned company your neighbors trust because we understand this area’s unique challenges – from Lake Weir’s soil conditions to Florida’s unpredictable weather patterns.
Our team holds state licensing for irrigation work and maintains authorized contractor status with Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard. We’re also the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in Citrus County, which means you get access to premium materials and proven techniques that last.
When hurricanes hit, we’re out helping with cleanup. When local kids need Christmas presents, we support Toys for Tots. This community supports us, so we support it right back.
We start with a real conversation about what’s not working in your yard and what you actually want to accomplish. No generic sales pitch – just honest assessment of your space, drainage, soil conditions, and goals.
Next, we create a plan that makes sense for your property and budget. We’ll walk you through material options, timeline expectations, and exactly what the finished project will look like. You’ll know the cost upfront, no hidden fees or change orders later.
Then our crews get to work. We show up when we say we will, protect your existing landscaping, and clean up each day. You’ll see progress happening, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes. When we’re finished, you’ll have outdoor spaces that work the way they should from day one.

Our comprehensive landscaping services cover everything from basic lawn maintenance to complex hardscape installations. We handle paver driveways, walkways, and pool decks using premium materials from Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard. Our state-licensed irrigation team designs and installs systems that actually work with Ocklawaha’s soil and climate conditions.
For hardscaping projects, we specialize in retaining walls, fire features, and outdoor living spaces that enhance your property value while solving practical problems. Every paver installation includes proper base preparation and our exclusive Seal ‘n Lock protection for long-lasting results.
Our landscape design services focus on plants that thrive in Central Florida’s unique environment. We select species that can handle Lake Weir’s humidity, occasional flooding, and sandy soil conditions while providing year-round beauty with minimal maintenance requirements. Whether you need drought-tolerant xeriscaping or lush tropical gardens, we match plants to your specific site conditions and lifestyle needs.
In Ocklawaha’s sandy soil and humid climate, we recommend concrete pavers from Tremron, Flagstone, or Belgard for their durability and drainage capabilities. These materials handle Florida’s freeze-thaw cycles better than natural stone and won’t shift as much in our sandy soil conditions.
For areas near Lake Weir or properties with drainage challenges, permeable pavers are excellent choices. They allow water to flow through naturally, reducing flooding and erosion while maintaining structural integrity. We always include proper base preparation with gravel and sand layers to prevent settling, especially important given our soil conditions.
The key is matching the right paver material to your specific site conditions and intended use. Pool decks need slip-resistant surfaces, while driveways require different load-bearing specifications than walkways.
Properties near Lake Weir present unique irrigation challenges due to sandy soil, high water tables, and varying elevation changes. Our state-licensed irrigation team designs systems that account for these specific conditions rather than using generic approaches.
We typically install zone-based systems that deliver water efficiently to different plant types and soil conditions across your property. Areas with better drainage get different watering schedules than low-lying spots that retain moisture longer. Smart controllers adjust automatically based on weather conditions and seasonal needs.
For lakefront properties, we’re especially careful about runoff and fertilizer management to protect water quality. Our irrigation designs include proper drainage solutions and use low-pressure systems that minimize water waste while ensuring your landscape gets consistent moisture throughout Florida’s dry seasons.
Our maintenance services are designed specifically for Central Florida’s growing conditions and seasonal patterns. This includes regular mowing with proper height settings for different grass types, targeted fertilization that follows county regulations for lakefront properties, and pest management using integrated approaches that minimize chemical inputs.
We handle pruning and trimming based on plant-specific timing – not just when it’s convenient. Palm maintenance, for example, follows proper techniques that prevent nutrient deficiencies common in our sandy soils. Our teams also monitor and adjust irrigation systems seasonally to account for changing weather patterns and plant needs.
Property cleanup after storms is included when needed, and we maintain relationships with local tree services for larger storm damage. Regular maintenance visits include inspection of hardscape elements like pavers and retaining walls to catch small issues before they become expensive problems.
With proper installation and materials, quality paver systems should last 25-30 years or more in Florida’s climate. The key factors are using appropriate base materials, proper drainage design, and selecting pavers rated for our freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure.
Our installations include comprehensive base preparation with graded gravel and sand layers that prevent settling and shifting. We use polymeric sand or our exclusive Seal ‘n Lock system to prevent weed growth and ant infiltration while allowing for natural drainage. Regular maintenance like re-sealing every 3-5 years extends lifespan significantly.
Weather events like hurricanes can affect any outdoor installation, but properly installed pavers typically perform better than concrete slabs or asphalt in extreme conditions. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged without affecting the entire surface, making repairs more economical than other hardscape options.
For Ocklawaha’s climate and soil conditions, we focus on native and adapted species that thrive with minimal inputs once established. Coontie, firebush, and Simpson’s stopper are excellent native choices that handle our sandy soil, occasional flooding, and dry periods while providing year-round interest and supporting local wildlife.
For groundcover alternatives to traditional grass, we often recommend sunshine mimosa, beach sunflower, or ornamental grasses like fakahatchee grass that require less water and fertilizer than turf. These options reduce maintenance while creating attractive, functional landscapes.
Tree selections include live oak, bald cypress, and red maple for larger specimens, with smaller understory trees like redbud or dogwood for accent plantings. All our plant recommendations consider mature size, root systems that won’t damage hardscapes or foundations, and hurricane resistance – important factors for long-term landscape success in Central Florida.
Yes, we provide detailed estimates that break down both design and installation costs so you understand exactly what you’re getting. Our estimates include material specifications, labor requirements, timeline expectations, and any site preparation needed for successful project completion.
For larger projects, we offer design consultations where we assess your property, discuss your goals and budget, then create preliminary plans before providing installation estimates. This ensures the final design works with your site conditions and meets your functional needs while staying within budget parameters.
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs or surprise change orders. Our estimates include everything needed to complete your project properly, from permits and site preparation to final cleanup and maintenance instructions. Most estimates are provided within 3-5 business days of our initial site visit.
