Landscape Design in Clearwater

Planting plans drawn for your exact block — sandy uplands, salt-sprayed islands, and everything between.

Clearwater is our home field, and it shows in the plant list. We know which cul-de-sacs in Countryside hold heat like an oven, where Island Estates catches salt spray on a north wind, and why the same viburnum hedge thrives on one side of US 19 and sulks on the other. Design here isn’t generic Florida landscaping — it’s block-by-block pattern recognition from years of installs and callbacks.

What a Clearwater design includes

Every project starts with a scaled plan: existing conditions, sun and drainage mapping, a plant palette matched to your exposure and irrigation, and hardscape or lighting where the design calls for it. You get a document you can build from — with us, in phases, or on your own schedule.

Front yards that survive the HOA letter

A lot of our Clearwater design work starts with a compliance notice about a dying lawn. The fix is rarely more sod — it’s less: shrinking turf to where it grows willingly and replacing the struggle zones with layered Florida-friendly beds that look intentional and cut the water bill.

From plan to planted, one team

The designer who draws your plan manages its installation — same company, same accountability. Plants come from local growers, get set per the drawing, and leave with a care sheet and a watering schedule tuned to Clearwater’s restrictions.

Questions

Landscape Design in Clearwater: FAQs

What grows well in Clearwater's sandy soil?

More than you'd think, if it's chosen honestly: muhly grass, coontie, firebush, saw palmetto, sea grapes near the water, and native palms everywhere. The failures we replace are almost always northern nursery stock that was never going to survive July. Our plant guide covers the full list.

Do you design around reclaimed water schedules?

Yes. Much of Clearwater irrigates on reclaimed water with fixed schedules, so we design beds that thrive on that cadence — drought-tolerant plants grouped by water need, with drip conversions where turf isn't earning its water.

How fast can a Clearwater design project start?

Consultations usually happen within a week — the shop is on Eastwood Dr, so we can often fold a walk-through into an existing route. Design turnaround runs one to three weeks depending on scope, and installation is scheduled from the signed plan.
