When landscaping in the Sunshine State, it’s vital that you pay close attention to your landscape design and how you’re implementing it. Because Florida is so hot and humid most of the year, it’s crucial that you get the trick of irrigation and fertilizing down. So, follow along for the best front yard landscaping ideas for Florida!

How do you landscape in Florida?

Because Florida is generally pretty hot and humid throughout the year, you can actually implement landscaping ideas year-round. But how – you might ask? Well, there are a few steps that you should pay attention to when honing on your yard design.

Firstly, you want to use as many native plants as possible. Why? Because they’re going to thrive in Florida’s hot climate and in turn, require less maintenance.

Secondly, Florida has laws about water usage and how to reduce the amount of water you use throughout the year. Therefore, it’s important to think about xeriscaping and using some drought-tolerant landscaping ideas. For instance, putting in rock or stone instead of grass or mulch is a great way to start. Instead of laying azaleas in your planting beds – try succulents! Low-maintenance landscaping is the way to go – especially when you’re going to be dealing with that Central Florida heat and full-sun all the time.

Thirdly, follow Florida-Friendly Landscaping. It’s a guide that helps promote science-based, low-impact, and sustainable practices to preserve Florida’s natural resources. I understand we all want to do some tropical landscaping, but as a homeowner it’s important to respect natural resources!

What is Florida Friendly Landscaping?

We touched on this briefly above, but FFL “promotes science-based, low-impact, sustainable, environmentally friendly landscaping practices that conserve water, reduce pollutant loading to Florida waters, and protect Florida’s natural resources”.

Basically, there are 9 rules to utilize FFL. You want to water efficiently, fertilize appropriately, recycle yard waste, mulch, attract wildlife, manage yard pests responsible, and reduce stormwater runoff. Again, it’s important to think about all of these things when designing your Florida yard or backyard garden design.

Whatever design idea you have for your flower bed or walkway to the front porch – it’s important to remember FFL.

What plants grow in the front yard in Florida?

Ready to begin your Florida landscaping so you can amp up that curb appeal…but not quite sure what plants to use? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered – whether you’re in South Florida, Orlando, Palm Beach – you name it! We’re here to help you bring in some greenery and design up landscaping plans so your home’s value can go up (and look beautiful at the same time)! So, keep reading for some great Florida landscaping ideas.

Lawn maintenance is another integral part of keeping up with your home & landscaping design. You want to make sure you’re trimming shrubs, as well.
