Landscaping FAQs – Florida Lawn & Garden Guide
How much does landscaping cost in Florida?+
Florida landscaping costs vary widely: basic lawn mowing runs $40–$80 per visit, full landscape design $500–$10,000+, irrigation installation $1,500–$4,000, sod installation $0.50–$1.50/sqft installed, and palm tree trimming $100–$500 per tree.
What grass grows best in Florida?+
St. Augustine (most common, shade tolerant), Zoysia (dense, drought resistant), Bahia (low maintenance, tough), and Bermuda (sun-loving, athletic fields) are Florida's top lawn grasses. St. Augustine dominates South and Central Florida; Bahia suits North Florida.
How often should I water my lawn in Florida?+
Florida Water Management Districts recommend watering no more than 2 days per week year-round. Water deeply and infrequently — about 3/4 inch per irrigation session. Water in early morning to reduce evaporation and fungal disease risk.
Do I need a permit for landscaping in Florida?+
Most routine landscaping doesn't require permits. However, tree removal (for trees above certain trunk diameter), irrigation system installation, retaining walls over 4 feet, and work in environmental protection zones require permits. Check with your local municipality.
How do I deal with Florida lawn fungus?+
Common Florida lawn diseases include brown patch, gray leaf spot, and take-all root rot. Prevent with proper irrigation timing (morning only), avoiding over-fertilizing with nitrogen in summer, and maintaining mowing height. Fungicides like azoxystrobin can treat active outbreaks.
What palm trees grow best in Florida?+
Florida-friendly palms include Sabal palm (state tree, very cold hardy), Washingtonia (drought tolerant), Foxtail palm (stunning, South FL), Alexander palm (clean, low maintenance), and Pindo palm (cold hardy, edible fruit). Avoid invasive queen palms in some counties.
How do I find a licensed landscaper in Florida?+
Florida requires landscape contractor licenses through the DBPR. Irrigation contractors need a separate license. For design services, look for Florida Certified Landscape Architects (FCLA). Always get 3 written quotes with detailed scopes of work.
When is the best time to plant in Florida?+
Florida's mild winters make fall (October–November) the best planting season — plants establish roots during mild weather before summer heat. Spring (March–April) is second best. Avoid planting during summer's intense heat and daily rains, which stress transplants.
