Sanford Landscaping

Landscaping a Historic Waterfront City

Sanford, the Seminole County seat on the south shore of Lake Monroe and the St. Johns River, pairs one of Central Florida’s most charming historic downtowns with steady modern growth. Its mix of historic homes near the riverfront, established neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions on the edges gives our Sanford work real range, from period-appropriate renovation to lakefront design to new-build establishment.

The soil is the sandy, fast-draining ground typical of Central Florida, in a warm, humid subtropical climate, along the lakefront and river.

Historic Homes, Lakefront, and New Builds

For Sanford’s historic homes we design and maintain in keeping with the architecture, reviving lawns and refreshing period-appropriate beds. On Lake Monroe and the riverfront we design lakefront landscapes that manage runoff on sandy soil and frame the water. In the new subdivisions we establish young St. Augustine properly. St. Augustine is the default for shade, with Bahia on larger or sandier lots and Zoysia for a denser look.

Sandy Soil and Efficient Irrigation

Sanford’s sandy soil drains fast and holds little nutrient, so we feed accordingly and amend beds for moisture retention. Irrigation is designed around St. Johns River Water Management District restrictions with efficient, weather-based control and drip in the beds, with reclaimed water in many areas. We build patios and walkways on a base prepared for the sandy, sometimes riverfront, ground.

Sanford Areas We Serve

We provide full landscaping throughout Sanford and Seminole County, including the historic downtown and riverfront neighborhoods on Lake Monroe, the communities along Lake Mary Boulevard and Rinehart Road, the Markham Woods area, and the newer subdivisions toward Lake Mary and the SR-417 corridor.
