Landscape Designs We Create Across Central Florida
From luxury estate entrances to resort-style backyards, here's the kind of work Blue Daisy designs and installs for Clermont and Central Florida homes.
Why Plant Selection Matters More Than It Looks
A landscape that looks great on install day and dies in the first dry season is a landscape that was designed for somewhere else. Central Florida's combination of hot summers, occasional drought, sandy soil, and Zone 9a climate means plant selection is not cosmetic — it's structural.
- Florida-native and Florida-friendly plants require significantly less water once established
- Right-sized plants for the space — not plants that will outgrow their location and require constant cutting back
- Proper spacing for air circulation reduces fungal and pest pressure
- Soil amendment where needed — Clermont's sandy soil has low organic matter and drains fast, which matters for establishment
- Mulch depth and type selected to suppress weeds without rotting plant bases
How a Landscape Design Project Works
-
1
Site Visit & Discovery
We walk your Clermont property with you, discuss what you want to achieve (curb appeal, privacy, color, low-maintenance), and assess sun exposure, existing plant health, drainage, and irrigation coverage.
-
2
Plant & Layout Recommendation
We recommend specific plants, palms, bed shapes, mulch, and hardscape options suited to your yard's conditions and your maintenance preferences — and give you a clear, itemized quote before any work begins.
-
3
Removal of Old Material
Dead or overgrown plants are removed. Old mulch is pulled back or refreshed. Beds are cleaned and shaped before anything new goes in.
-
4
Install & Mulch
Plants are placed and installed at the correct depth, properly spaced, and watered in. Fresh mulch is applied at the right depth to suppress weeds and retain moisture without smothering root zones.
-
5
Walkthrough & Handoff
We walk you through what was installed, what your new plants need in the first 30 days, and how to transition to a maintenance schedule that keeps the landscape looking sharp year after year.

Clermont sits in USDA Zone 9a–9b. Plants that perform consistently well here include Croton, Ixora, Bougainvillea, Firebush (a Florida native), Walter's Viburnum, Muhly Grass, Bromeliads for shaded spots, and Simpson's Stopper for hedging. For trees, Live Oak, Crape Myrtle, and Sabal Palm are all excellent choices. We'll recommend specific species based on your sun exposure and maintenance preferences.
Both. We regularly renovate overgrown, outdated, or struggling landscapes — removing dead or invasive material, reshaping beds, and replanting with species that actually suit the current conditions of your yard. A renovation is often more cost-effective than a new install because much of the structure (bed locations, soil, irrigation) is already in place.
Yes — and we recommend it. Our monthly maintenance plan can include your landscape beds alongside lawn maintenance, keeping everything trimmed, mulched, and healthy on a regular schedule matching Florida's growing season. The same crew that installs becomes the crew that maintains it, so they know exactly what's in each bed.
We handle hardscape elements that complement the landscape design — defined borders, decorative rock, and stepping stone paths. For large-scale paver installation or structural retaining walls, we'll advise whether that scope is right for your project and refer you to the appropriate specialist if needed. We'll always be upfront about what we do and don't do.
