Landscaping The Villages, Fl

For a commercial property landscape, local permits are typically required for a new project. Permits may be required for a residential property in The Villages, Fl or Sumter County. However, your local community HOA may require you show documentation of the work the landscaping companies plan to perform.

Like many other projects in their planning phases, it’s important to take the proper safety precautions, like identifying nearby utility lines. To do this, call your local The Villages, Fl utility company or “811”. The city has information on where utility lines exist in your community and yard. This helps keep the landscape project running safely and smoothly.

It is typical for water to puddle and pool during Florida showers. Knowing where water collects helps to determine the purpose of certain sections of the outdoor area and where a sprinkler system could be best utilized. For example, think of an area on a lawn that tends to collect extra water. It will be able to sustain certain groups of plants with less irrigation than other areas of the yard, or it may require drainage. This information also helps determine if grading is necessary for installing sod or concrete, which can affect the cost.

Especially in sunny Florida, this information determines which plants and materials to use for the landscape job and how to best organize the space, especially if installing a sprinkler system. Areas shaded by a few trees, for instance, might require less irrigation. Sunny open areas will require more irrigation and can house a wider variety of garden plants and flower beds. Shady areas may be a better place for patios, for seating and outdoor dining.

Florida soil has a wide range of properties. We test the soil at the project site for nutrients and pH levels. This tells us about foundation we are working with and if we need to prepare the soil for your landscaping project. It also helps us to plan and budget for the plants and materials we will need for the landscape service.

Outdoor spaces can serve many purposes. Does the area have a garden or a pool? Will it be a place to entertain neighbors, friends, and family? We can tailor landscape designs for gardens, swimming pools, grilling and entertainment, front yard curb appeal. Or we can simply create a place for you to sit and relax. Knowing the purpose or purposes of the area helps determine how to divide it and make it flow. It also helps us decide which materials are the best fit for the project.
