Clermont Landscaping

Landscaping Florida’s Rolling Hills

Clermont, west of Orlando in Lake County, stands out in famously flat Florida for its genuine rolling hills and the sparkling Clermont Chain of Lakes. Once citrus country, it has become one of the area’s fastest-growing cities, with new subdivisions climbing the slopes around the lakes. The hilly terrain, unusual for the region, gives our Clermont work a focus on slopes, drainage, and lake-aware grading alongside the usual Central Florida fundamentals.

The soil is sandy and fast-draining, sometimes streaked with clay on the hills, in a warm, humid subtropical climate.

Slopes, Drainage, and Warm-Season Lawns

Clermont’s hills shed water fast, and sloped lots erode if left bare, so we stabilize slopes with plantings and retaining walls and grade to control runoff toward the lakes. Lawns are warm-season turf: St. Augustine for shade tolerance, Bahia on larger or sandier lots, and Zoysia for a denser look, mowed and fed on a warm-season schedule with pest management for the heat. On new subdivisions we establish young St. Augustine properly on the sloped, sandy ground.

Lake-Aware Irrigation and Hardscape

On the Clermont Chain of Lakes, careful grading and planting protect both property and water, and we design accordingly. Sandy, sloped soil drains fast, so we feed accordingly and design irrigation around St. Johns River Water Management District restrictions with efficient, weather-based control. We build patios, walkways, and retaining walls on a base prepared for the hilly, sandy terrain.

Clermont Areas We Serve

We provide full landscaping throughout Clermont and south Lake County, including the chain-of-lakes neighborhoods, the communities along US-27 and Hartwood Marsh Road, the Kings Ridge and Legends areas, and the newer subdivisions toward Minneola, Groveland, and the Orange County line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you handle the hilly, sloped lots in Clermont?

Yes. Clermont’s rolling hills are unusual for Florida, so we stabilize slopes with plantings and retaining walls and grade to control runoff toward the lakes, protecting beds, hardscape, and the water.

Warm-season turf: St. Augustine for shade, Bahia on larger or sandier lots, and Zoysia for a denser look. We match the grass to your lot and manage the heat-driven pests.

Do you work on chain-of-lakes lakefront properties?

Yes. On the Clermont Chain of Lakes we design lakefront landscapes with careful grading and planting that protect both the property and the water.
