Landscaping in College Park, Orlando

College Park is one of the older neighborhoods in Orlando, and most of our work here is on lots that were built between the 1920s and 1950s. Smaller lots than what you'll find in Windermere or Bay Hill, but with mature oak canopies, characterful bungalows, and a walkable corridor along Edgewater Drive that gives the neighborhood its identity. The landscape that works here is one that respects the period — formal-leaning, restrained, anchored by the trees the neighborhood already has.

We work both the residential streets — Princeton, Yale, Edgewater, Smith — and the commercial frontage along Edgewater Drive's retail strip. Lots along Lake Adair, Lake Concord, and the rest of College Park's small lakes have specific drainage and shore-treatment considerations we plan into every project.

Properties backing onto Dubsdread Country Club have an interesting constraint: golf course association rules govern what can be done along the property line. We've worked enough Dubsdread lots to know what the course allows and what gets a polite letter from the club.

Why College Park

What College Park homeowners hire us for.

Older homes, period-appropriate plantings.

1920s and 30s College Park bungalows don't want the same plant palette as a new build. We lean traditional here — boxwood, viburnum, camellia, sometimes formal allées — and away from the casual native style that fits other neighborhoods.

Small lots, careful work.

Most College Park lots are under a quarter acre. There's no room for sloppy edges or mismatched bed lines. We mow, edge, and trim with the level of finish the smaller lot needs.

Dubsdread perimeter expertise.

Golf course property lines have rules — what can be planted, what fencing is allowed, how close to the cart path you can build. We've worked these enough to know.

Lake-adjacent grading.

Lake Adair and Lake Concord lots need water moved away from the foundation without dumping it into the lake. We design grading and drainage to satisfy both.
