Estate Planting in Naples, FL
What you plant matters. So does how it's installed.
We install estate landscapes — not gardens. Every species decision here reflects what 200+ SWFL projects have taught us about what thrives, what fails, and what signals estate quality from the street.
THE INSTALLER ANGLE
This Is Not a Homeowner Gardening Guide
Our angle is installer-perspective — not homeowner-gardener. Growth rates matter to us because they determine irrigation zone scheduling. Root characteristics matter because we're placing these plants near pools, hardscape, and utilities. Salt tolerance matters because many of our properties are within one mile of the Gulf. These guides reflect what actually determines whether a planting plan succeeds in a SWFL estate build.
Reference for all plant species: South Florida Plant Guide — we reference this for species verification; our differentiation is the installation perspective they don't cover.
