Indigenous Plants and Eco-Friendly Planting
Utilizing native plant communities delivers a resilient, low‑input landscape that flourishes in Indian River's salty conditions, beach soils, and heat. You choose function first: reinforce dunes with sea oats, screen areas with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with native palms or ground cover. Florida natives form the foundation while reducing upkeep demands.
Improve habitat quality with multi-level pollinator plantings - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for pollinator food sources; hamelia and lonicera for continuous flowering cycles. Right‑plant, right‑place is nonnegotiable: match environmental conditions, soil chemistry, growth patterns, and exposure levels. Create plant groupings, not single species, to achieve balanced vertical layering. Specify certified, locally sourced stock to protect native gene pools and minimize establishment stress. Apply pine straw or crushed shell for longevity and neat appearance.
Water-Saving Irrigation Solutions

Rain Capture Integration
Across the entire system, we integrate rain harvesting into your irrigation system to offset potable demand and regulate soil moisture. We initiate with site hydraulics: assess harvesting capacity, downspout flow rates, and primary discharge levels, then choose food-grade roof cisterns sized to storm intensity and drought targets. We combine pre-filtration with ultraviolet or ozone treatment, align pump curves to emitter pressure, and control valves via moisture readings and weather forecasts.
Our system offers tiered storage that combines collected rain with graywater reuse where regulations allow, supplying alternative water sources to watering systems without contamination concerns. We engineer overflow pathways to infiltration zones and sustainable drainage, stopping soil loss and enhancing aquifer replenishment. Smart monitoring systems monitor storage capacity, emphasize harvested water use, and transition smoothly to city water.
