Coastal-Friendly Landscape Planning
Because Indian River sits at the convergence of shifting water tables, salt, and wind, Coastal‑Smart Landscape Design starts with resilient physics. We analyze storm surge patterns, soil salinity, and exposure, then map drainage routes to maintain dry structures and stable landscapes. You receive calculated elevation designs, dune-compatible terrain, and water-permeable surfaces that prevent erosion.
We specify salt-adapted plants aligned with microclimates, securing perimeters with robust systems to combat shear and uplift. Our hardscape choices emphasize rust prevention, slip resistance, and thermal performance. Water delivery is zoned and sensor-managed to prevent excess watering in high-salt soils. Our lighting utilizes protected fixtures and saltwater-rated hardware. We coordinate setbacks, view corridors, and access so your site performs optimally during clear weather and rebounds quickly after maritime weather.
Native Plants and Sustainable Planting
Using native plant communities produces a resilient, low‑input landscape that flourishes in Indian River's salty conditions, coastal soils, and heat. You specify function first: reinforce dunes with sea oats, create privacy with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with coontie or dwarf yaupon holly. Florida natives establish the framework while decreasing maintenance needs.
Boost habitat value with multi-level pollinator plantings - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for butterfly and bee sustenance; hamelia and lonicera for seasonal continuity. Appropriate species selection is crucial: align salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Create plant groupings, not single species, to create balanced vertical layering. Select certified, locally sourced stock to protect native gene pools and minimize establishment stress. Apply natural pine mulch or seashell for lasting protection and defined edges.
Water-Wise Irrigation Solutions
Our system optimizes irrigation by utilizing smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that adjust watering schedules in real time. We set up drip systems with distinct zones to match plant water requirements, decrease evaporation, and eliminate overspray.

The outcome: thriving landscapes, decreased maintenance needs, and documented water efficiency.
All About Drip Systems and Zones
Fine-tune your watering system at the root zone with purpose-built drip systems that deliver measured gallons per hour exactly where plants need them. Experience calibrated flow, limited evaporation, and consistent distribution across plantings with different demand.
We implement hydrozones using emitters specifically chosen for species, soil texture, and slope. Inline and point-source options let you target landscape features and plantings without overspray. Precise pressure management maintains consistent flow, preventing emitter blowouts and uneven wetting. Our filtration systems are designed to maintain clean water flow, then set lateral spacing and emitter spacing according to water penetration preventing water pooling and excess surface flow.
You'll be able to control each irrigation zone separately for seasonal modifications and growth phases. We ensure optimal function using comprehensive system tests, followed by documenting the system layout, valve groupings and maintenance schedules for reliable, efficient watering.
Rain Capture Integration
From roof to root zone, we implement rain capture into your irrigation setup to decrease reliance on treated water and maintain soil moisture. We initiate with site hydraulics: calculate harvesting capacity, downspout flow rates, and primary discharge levels, then choose food-grade roof cisterns matched with storm intensity and drought targets. We pair pre-filtration with ozone or UV, coordinate pump curves to emitter pressure, and automate valves via weather predictions and soil conditions.
We provide tiered storage that combines harvested rainwater with water reclamation where regulations allow, supplying non-potable water to irrigation areas without system interference. Our team creates excess flow channels to natural filtration areas and absorption beds, preventing erosion and maximizing groundwater recharge. Smart monitoring systems measure water volumes, prioritize free water sources, and transition smoothly to city water.
