Landscaping High Springs, Fl

For commercial landscape design and related jobs, the city will typically require local permits for a new project. A residential property in High Springs, Fl or Alachua County might require permits for a service, too. Your local community HOA may also require you show documentation of the job plan.

Taking care to identify safety precautions is important when planning an outdoor project, such as hardscaping or turf installation services. One main precaution to take is locating utility lines around your property. Contact your local High Springs, Fl utility companies or “811” to find out if and where there are utility lines exist in your community and yard. This helps keep the 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 landscape. For example, if there is an area on a lawn that tends to collect extra water, it will be able to sustain certain groups of plants with less irrigation. Or it may require additional drainage. Having this information also helps determine if grading is necessary for the installation of sod or concrete. This assists in budget planning as grading can affect the cost of the job.

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 less irrigation and might be used for seating rather than for a garden or flower bed. Sunny open areas require more irrigation but can house a wider variety of plants and flower beds.

Florida soil has a wide range of properties. As part of our lawn care, 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 land 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. Is it a home project or a business project? Is it a front yard or a back yard? Does the area have a garden or a pool? 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.
