I would love to see a garden on a smaller budget, maybe something that could be done in stages. Example step one, two, three to eventually get the lush private oasis. Thank you for sharing!!
Love love love the foxtail palms!! Such a beautiful transformation! The editing looks great! I love the before pics at the beginning! It really shows the transformation
She does an amazing job! Money, money, money... it can do wonderful transformation to your yard, once you have it, everything falls into place🌴🏝️♥️🏝️🌴🏝️♥️🏝️🌴🏝️🌺🍍🐠💚🙏
Beautiful job….I’m sure your clients are thrilled they’re finally able to grow plants in the ground! I’m in Florida on the west coast near Tampa. I love the way rocks look in beds but I’ve heard they heat up too much in our weather and affect the survival of plants. You’ve had much experience with rocks in hot Florida I’m sure, so what is your take on rocks heating up and burning/killing plants in Florida?
Great question, yes rocks do keep the heat of the day and that heat can bounce off onto the plants as a heat reflector. Rock beds do best when they are irrigated longer then mulch beds to help the plant from drying out. Average irrigation for a rock bed should be 3-4 times per week for 20-30 min throughout the summer months. More if in full sun.
You do an amazing job, I m loving the tropical foliage designs you create. Too bad you don’t work in the Odessa area of Tampa. But I’m learning just watching your videos. Keep up the good work 👍👏
Amazing work! We are building in vero beach in bent pine. We would love to see if you could possibly do our landscaping when the home is ready for that. Me and partner think this landscaping job is what we were looking for. Strike a great balance. We would want some changes of course. But you do amazing. Plus we love supporting local businesses in the area we are moving to.
Love those triple bottle palms - one of my favorites. Also love the way you add continuity to a yard with your "rinse and repeat". How long ago did you plant the yard? And when you bring in new soil, does it end up mixing with the old, or will it stay on top?
Great questions Chica so this was planted about 7- 8- months ago and when we bring in new soil we remove 3-6” of the old soil and blend it into the existing soil bed as well as back fill all plants and tree holes while planting. between that and the actual planting it blends pretty well.
Beautiful. We recently removed budha belly bamboo and want to plant some kind of dwarf palm. Do they have non invasive roots? The main sewer line runs under the area to plant.
I love your videos and love your back yard. I am in the Fort Myers area I would love to see front yard landscaping over where the septic tank is. I know we can’t put deep rooted plants but would love to see what ideas you might have.
Im looking for a smaller palm for a similar sized yard. The royal palms look beautiful in this video but will grow 80 feet tall and 25 feet and could drop stuff on the house that close. Can you recommend a smaller palm and if a royal palm is a common choice in small front yards?
Love the orchid trees. They definitely deserve more use. Tropical flowering trees are some of my favorites. Do you ever use tabebuias/trumpet trees in your designs?
Yes I do! I’ve had little trouble with the tab trees in the past. Our winds seem to keep them leaning so I don’t use them as often however beautiful trees.
I don’t live in Florida but I was wondering, do people plant trees on the other side of the sidewalk? Closer to the street? We do up north and I just think it’s another opportunity to plant another tree.
I love all of your ideas!! For someone the just bought a home and don’t have the budget for a big landscaping project. What would you recommend? I’m in South palm beach county. My home has a big yard and I’d like to start planting but I have no idea where to start. Could you do a video about steps someone should take to start? The Dos and Donts
Great idea!! Id start with the big items even if its one at a time, getting the big guys in will really encourage you to keep going. Usually that starts with the front corners of the home if your doing palms start as big as you can this way when your budget allows you can start planting under them. Too long to explain in the reply when I'm able to do a video Ill send you the link. Meanwhile good luck to you!
Do you have any vidoeo on soil amendments and what you typically use? Ive been tilling in Jungle Growth brand along with peat moss and black kow brand compost and often just plane Top Soil sold at Lowes. Is there a better “recipe”?
Hello Dina, I like the dark brown cocoa mulch its a hard wood and I hardly ever have bug issues with it. I like the Tahitian Grey stone and Rainbow White river rock. Those are my favorites to work with in the garden.
Yes, once I did a soil sample, we realized the pH was off the charts so we added the amendments necessary and change the drainage. The area held a little too much water. Soil sample is the best way to go when trying to diagnose a problem. Check with your county extension office they will help you read it and discuss what's needed to rectify the issue if you are not having a landscaper help you with the problem.
I want to have something done to my yard, but I never see anyone talk about prices. I know they want people to call for quotes but I just want a price range guess is all. Any have insights?
Such a great question and pretty hard to determine. There are so many variables I've had a simple front yard be $5,000 refresh and same size yard be 30,000 project. I guess Id say have a budget in mind like between 2-4000 or 4-6,000 or 6-10,000 and so on depending on the project. Then let the landscaper explain within that range what he can achieve. Hope that helps some. Good Luck!
No they truly have a mind of their own lol. The previous company did no soil prep and their soil PH was incredibly high leaving the plants with little to no nutrients so they just wilted away pretty much. :(

Can you approximate what a job like this costs? I’m in St Cloud and need help with a similar size area.
I’m in St Cloud also. My yard is in desperate need
She does an amazing job! Money, money, money... it can do wonderful transformation to your yard, once you have it, everything falls into place🌴🏝️♥️🏝️🌴🏝️♥️🏝️🌴🏝️🌺🍍🐠💚🙏

Your work is amazing! I'm in love with it. Can you please tell me which rocks you used in this?
Absolutely, I used 1-3" white river rock also known as rainbow rock.

How long do the blue agave take to reach 4-5ft?
about two years in good Sandy Soil

Some will. I know in my community do.
Beautiful design. Can you recommend a landscape design business in Sarasota?
I am sorry I don’t know anyone in that area.

Да уж прелесть!!!!!
Thank you so much for you kind words! True Gardener!
Why was everything dying on them? Any idea?

Did it die because the homeowners never took care of it or other issues? Plants are not furniture.
No they truly have a mind of their own lol. The previous company did no soil prep and their soil PH was incredibly high leaving the plants with little to no nutrients so they just wilted away pretty much. :(
@@TrueGardener Thanks for the info.
Your company name doesn’t match the tropical beauty of your work. I would never guess by the name
bla bla bla bla....!!!
