Landscaping Alachua, Fl

For commercial businesses and properties, the city will typically require local permits for a new project. A residential property in Alachua, Fl or Alachua County might require permits, too. Your local community HOA may also require you show documentation of the schedule and job plan.

Like many other projects in their planning phases, it’s important to take the proper safety precautions, like identifying utility lines around your property. Contact your local Alachua, Fl utility company or “811” to find out if and where there are 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 is helpful in determining how to best utilize your outdoor area. For example, think of an area on your lawn that tends to collect extra water. It will be able to sustain certain groups of plants with little help from your irrigation system. It could also require leveling or grading. Having this information can also help determine if that is necessary for the installation of sod or concrete. This then assists in budget planning as grading can affect the cost.

Especially in sunny Florida, this information determines which materials to use for the landscape job and how to best organize the space. Areas shaded by trees, for instance, might require a smaller irrigation system, or might be used for seating rather than gardens. Sunny open areas require more irrigation and can house a wider variety of plants and flower beds. Need more sunlight for your garden? You can utilize our tree trimming services to allow sunlight to reach your yard.

Florida soil has a wide range of properties. As part of our lawn care services, we test the soil at the project site for nutrients and pH levels. This tells us about foundation we are working with and if the landscaping project requires any soil preparation. It is also a factor to take into account when planning and budgeting for the plants and materials to be used for the landscape service.

Outdoor spaces can serve many purposes in Florida and designing them well can boost your property value. Are you starting a home project or a business project? Does the area have a garden or a pool? Will it be a place to entertain neighbors, friends, and family? Landscape designs can be tailored towards gardens, swimming pools, entertainment, curb appeal, or simply a place to relax. Businesses have outdoor seating areas, walkways, and property entrances that can offer positive aesthetic experiences to clients and customers. 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 will be the most fitting for the project.
