Our workLandscaping in Melbourne
Twenty-nine minutes, all US-1.
Melbourne City Hall is about 29 minutes from our office, 18 miles straight down US-1.
North Melbourne and Eau Gallie addresses are closer than that.
Eau Gallie was its own city until it merged with Melbourne in 1969, which left two downtowns.
Most of the city lies inland of the Indian River Lagoon, with a small part on the barrier island.
The typical Melbourne home was built around 1985, and about 57% of homes are detached houses.
In Tralee Bay Estates we built curved stacked-stone bed walls with path lights and uplighting.
We also designed and installed the uplighting at a blue-roofed Melbourne home.

Local conditions
What Melbourne yards ask for.
Melbourne is large and mixed, so the plan depends on which part of the city you are in.
Reclaimed water in places
The city says reclaimed water serves over 1,000 properties and is not tied to watering days.
Inland or island
Most lots sit inland of the lagoon. The small beachside part gets a salt-tolerant plant list.
The summer blackout
A June 1 to September 30 fertilizer blackout applies countywide. We time planting around it.
Rain by the calendar
NWS Melbourne dates the median wet season start at May 28 and dry season at October 17.
