Beach-Wise Landscape Design
Given that Indian River is located at the intersection of salt, wind, and shifting water tables, Coastal‑Smart Landscape Design initiates with resilient physics. We assess soil salinity, exposure, and storm surge data, then chart drainage patterns to ensure landscape stability and structural dryness. We provide calculated elevation designs, dune-compatible terrain, and erosion-resistant permeable surfaces for water management.
We select salt-adapted plantings matched to microclimates, securing boundaries with deep-root systems to combat shear and uplift. Our hardscape choices emphasize rust prevention, anti-slip properties, and thermal performance. Water delivery is sectioned and sensor-managed to eliminate oversaturation in high-salt soils. Our lighting utilizes sealed fixtures and saltwater-rated hardware. We arrange setbacks, view corridors, and access to guarantee your site performs optimally during blue-sky days and bounces back rapidly after shoreline incidents.
Native Plants and Sustainable Planting
Utilizing native plant communities delivers a resilient, low‑input landscape that performs well in Indian River's maritime climate, beach soils, and tropical conditions. You determine function first: reinforce dunes with sea oats, screen areas with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with native palms or ground cover. Florida natives form the foundation while minimizing care requirements.
Boost habitat benefits with strategically designed garden layers - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for butterfly and bee sustenance; hamelia and lonicera for continuous flowering cycles. Right‑plant, right‑place is nonnegotiable: match salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Use plant communities, not single species, to achieve harmonious multi-level plantings. Choose locally grown, verified specimens to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Apply pine straw or crushed shell for lasting protection and defined edges.
Efficient Irrigation Solutions
You can optimize irrigation by implementing intelligent irrigation controls that modify irrigation timing in real time. We install drip systems with distinct zones to match plant water requirements, reduce evaporation, and avoid overspray.

All About Drip Systems and Zones
Fine-tune your watering system at the root zone with expertly engineered drip systems that deliver measured gallons per hour right at the plant base. Enjoy exact water flow, decreased evaporation, and consistent distribution across plantings with distinct requirements.
We design irrigation zones with zoned emitters matched to species, soil texture, and slope. Various emitter configurations allow precise watering of garden beds, hedgerows, and mature trees while preventing water waste. Proper pressure regulation ensures steady distribution, avoiding system failures and irregular watering. We implement filtering solutions to protect orifices, then set lateral spacing and emitter spacing from infiltration rates to avoid runoff and perched water.
You'll have complete control of individual zones for seasonal modifications and growth phases. We confirm proper operation with pressure and flow testing, then document the system layout, valve groupings and maintenance schedules for reliable, efficient watering.
Rainwater Capture Solutions
Across the entire system, we incorporate rain collection into your irrigation setup to offset potable demand and regulate soil moisture. We start with site hydraulics: assess water collection potential, drainage capabilities, and first-flush volumes, then specify food-grade roof cisterns sized to storm intensity and drought targets. We combine pre-filtration with ultraviolet or ozone treatment, align pump curves to emitter pressure, and control valves via soil moisture and forecast data.
We provide tiered storage that combines captured precipitation with graywater reuse where local ordinances enable, supplying alternative water sources to drip irrigation zones without system interference. Our team creates overflow pathways to bioswales and permeable basins, preventing erosion and maximizing groundwater recharge. Smart monitoring systems track tank levels, emphasize harvested water use, and switch to utility supply automatically.
