Winter Park, FL
PrimaryLandscaping in Winter Park, FL
Winter Park yards are different. The mature oak canopies — many of them planted when these homes were built in the 1920s and 30s — throw shade most landscape companies don't know how to plant under. The historic bungalows on Comstock and around Mead Botanical Garden hold their character in part because of the landscape; lose that and the property's curb appeal goes with it. And properties along Park Avenue, the lakes, and Windsong have a long memory: a landscape job done badly here gets talked about for years.
We've spent most of our service history in Winter Park. Most of our crew lives in this part of Orange County. We mow under Palmetto-tolerant shade on Henkel Circle, install drainage solutions on the slope-y lots near Lake Maitland, and put together HOA-free designs that nonetheless meet the unspoken standard of streets like Pennsylvania and Lyman. Most of our new work in Winter Park still comes from referrals on the same five streets.
Whether you're refreshing a small front bed on a bungalow lot or designing a full backyard renovation on a lakefront property, we work the same way. Site walk first. Honest estimate. Same crew through the project. Documentation in CompanyCam.

Why Winter Park
What Winter Park homeowners hire us for.
We know oak shade.
Most Winter Park lots are under significant oak canopy. Floratam fails here within a year. We install Palmetto or Empire Zoysia, recommend shade-tolerant ground covers in the deepest spots, and design beds around the established root structures of trees we don't want to disturb.
Historic-home landscape sensibility.
A 1925 Mediterranean Revival on Lyman doesn't want the same plant palette as a new build in Windermere. We respect the period — boxwood hedges, formal lines, restrained color — when the house calls for it.
Lakefront drainage and grading.
Lots that slope to Lake Maitland, Lake Virginia, or Lake Killarney have specific drainage needs — water has to be moved away from the foundation without dumping it into the lake. We grade for that on every install.
Crew lives here.
Most of the team lives within 15 minutes of Park Avenue. That makes response times short and makes us neighbors, not vendors driving in from a county over.
