Coastal-Smart Landscape Design
Given that Indian River is situated at the convergence of salt, wind, and shifting water tables, Coastal‑Smart Landscape Design starts with physics-based resilience. We assess soil salinity, exposure, and storm surge data, then model drainage routes to maintain dry structures and stable landscapes. You receive calculated elevation designs, dune-compatible terrain, and permeable surfaces that move water without erosion.
We select salt tolerant plantings aligned with microclimates, securing perimeters with deep-root systems to prevent erosion and uplift. Our hardscape choices emphasize corrosion resistance, slip resistance, and thermal performance. Water delivery is zone-based and sensor-controlled to avoid overwatering in salt-affected soils. Lighting uses sealed fixtures and marine-grade hardware. We coordinate setbacks, view corridors, and access to guarantee your site operates efficiently during blue-sky days and rebounds quickly after maritime weather.
Sustainable Planting with Native Species
Using native plant communities provides a hardy, low‑input landscape that performs well in Indian River's saline air, sandy soils, and hot weather. You specify function first: reinforce dunes with sea oats, screen areas with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with dwarf yaupon holly or coontie. Florida natives create the backbone while reducing care requirements.
Improve habitat value with strategically designed garden layers - butterfly weed, gaillardia, and powderpuff for butterfly and bee sustenance; native fire plant and trumpet honeysuckle for continuous flowering cycles. Proper plant placement is essential: align salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Create plant groupings, not individual plants, to create balanced vertical layering. Select locally grown, verified specimens to maintain local biodiversity and ensure successful establishment. Mulch with shredded pine or shell for lasting protection and defined edges.
Water-Saving Irrigation Solutions
Our system optimizes irrigation by utilizing moisture sensors and smart controllers that modify irrigation timing in real time.
