North Florida coastal Landscape

Designer: Nick Freeman

Location: Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Garden Style: Tropical, Native

This project received a major make-over from the ground up. It had started as a nearly blank slate, lacking any significant vegetation, turf or functional areas for the homeowners to utilize. Our approach for this was simple- use low maintenance plantings, incorporate native plants and provide a tropical aesthetic to match the coastal location of the property. In the front yard we removed all of the grass, installed a mix of Florida friendly plantings and added a drip irrigation system to save on water. The plant selections here consist of low maintenance plants that look great all-year round and provide a coastal inspired look.

The backyard posed a greater challenge. There were some invasive plants that needed removing, an outdated paver patio and a lawn that was not doing well. We removed everything here and started new; adding a new patio, a mixed hedge along the fence and low maintenance bermuda grass for their dog to play.

We love how this project all came together and hope it inspires your next landscaping project.
