Beach-Wise Landscape Design
Since Indian River sits at the meeting point of shifting water tables, salt, and wind, Coastal‑Smart Landscape Design starts with physics-based resilience. We assess soil salinity, exposure, and storm surge data, then chart drainage patterns to keep structures dry and landscapes stable. We provide engineered elevations, erosion-resistant grading, and water-permeable surfaces that prevent erosion.
We choose salt tolerant plantings matched to microclimates, stabilizing boundaries with strong-root systems to combat erosion and uplift. Hardscape selections emphasize rust prevention, slip resistance, and thermal efficiency. Irrigation is zone-based and sensor-controlled to avoid oversaturation in saline soils. Lighting uses sealed fixtures and saltwater-rated hardware. We align setbacks, view corridors, and access so your site operates efficiently during clear weather and recovers swiftly after shoreline incidents.
Sustainable Planting with Native Species
Incorporating native plant communities provides a durable, low‑input landscape that performs well in Indian River's salty conditions, sandy terrain, and warm climate. You determine function first: stabilize dunes with sea oats, establish boundaries with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with native palms or ground cover. Florida natives provide structure while minimizing upkeep demands.
Enhance habitat value with layered pollinator gardens - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for pollinator food sources; hamelia and lonicera for year-round blooming. Right‑plant, right‑place is nonnegotiable: match salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Establish plant associations, not single species, to achieve balanced vertical layering. Select native, region-specific plants to protect native gene pools and minimize establishment stress. Apply shredded pine or shell for lasting protection and defined edges.
Water-Saving Irrigation Solutions
Our system optimizes irrigation by utilizing smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that regulate water delivery in real time.
