Landscape Design & Installation in Satellite Beach, FL
Salt air, tough plants.
Satellite Beach is a barrier-island city.
Ocean on one side, the Banana River on the other, and salt in the air between.
Landscaping in Satellite Beach
Twenty-four minutes to the ocean.
Satellite Beach is about 24 minutes from our office, fifteen miles by road.
We run US-1 south, cross the Pineda Causeway, then take A1A into town.
The city has the Atlantic to the east, the Banana River to the west and several canals.
The typical home here went up around 1975, and about 82% of homes are owner-occupied.
Pelican Beach Park and Hightower Beach Park sit on the ocean side of town.
Next door in Indian Harbour Beach we remade a front yard with pine-straw beds and a pygmy palm.
A bougainvillea standard finishes that yard. We bring the same design-build team here.

Local conditions
What Satellite Beach yards ask for.
Beachside, the ocean, the city and the sea turtles all have a say in the plan.
Salt comes first
Close to the ocean or the Banana River, we start from the UF/IFAS list of salt-tolerant plants.
Turtle season lighting
From March 1 to October 31, beachfront lights must be shielded or off between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.
No summer lawn fertilizer
City law bans fertilizing lawns in Satellite Beach from June 1 to September 30.
A Tree City USA
The city is a Tree City USA and promotes Florida native plants as suited to local soil and weather.
Services in Satellite Beach
What we do in Satellite Beach.
All eight services, with the same two designers on every project.
01Landscape Design
Plans that lean on Florida natives, which the city says are well adapted to local soil.
02Landscape Installation
About 24 minutes by US-1 and the Pineda Causeway puts our crew on your beachside lot.
03Sod Installation
St. Augustine and zoysia rate good for salt in the UF/IFAS table. Bahia does not.
04Irrigation & Sprinklers
Watering set to the district rules the city adopted in 2021 under Ordinance No. 1199.
05Landscape Lighting
On beachfront lots we shield fixtures so no light can be seen from the beach.
06Mulch & Beds
Pine-straw beds like the ones we laid in Indian Harbour Beach, topped up as they settle.
07Retaining Walls
Low bed walls and stone borders that keep mulch and soil in place on sandy lots.
08Spring & Fall Cleanups
Palms pruned no higher than 9 and 3 o’clock, the UF/IFAS limit, and never a hurricane cut.
