Florida Friendly Landscaping

Florida friendly landscaping is a great way to make sure that your landscaping will thrive in our climate, as well as benefit the environment. With nearly 20 years of working in the Tampa Bay area, Complete Landcare can design a landscape that will be sure to please.


With water being in such short supply, especially during our dry season, Florida friendly landscaping means using low-maintenance plants that don’t require much irrigation or fertilization – both of which can help the environment.


Did you know there are nearly 380 trees, shrubs, palms, groundcovers, flowers, grasses and vines that are recommended by the University of Florida/IFAS horticulture experts that make for Florida friendly landscaping? We are well versed in this foliage and know what works best in our region.


There are also other features of Florida friendly landscaping, including micro-irrigation, compost bins and rain barrels that can help foster an environmentally friendly yard, while still keeping it aesthetically pleasing. And not only will Florida friendly landscaping conserve water, it reduces the runoff of fertilizers and minimizes the need for pesticides – both of which can harm the environment.


One popular Florida friendly landscaping technique that has become quite popular in the past several years is xeriscaping. This method ensures an extremely efficient use of water and began in desert regions and areas where water was not easily available; it has since spread to other areas where water is more accessible, but it is aimed at conservation.


In addition to water conservation – and thereby lowering your water bills – a key benefit to this type of Florida friendly landscaping is that it can reduce the environmental impact of your property. But even though xeriscaping uses minimal water, the effect can be beautiful: anything from a sparse garden with lots of open space and garden rocks, to lush greenery of native plants that give color and texture to your property – all while keeping the xeriscape principles of conservation.
