Not every landscape project requires a full redesign. In fact, most of the projects we complete in Winter Park, Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, and surrounding neighborhoods fall into a handful of practical categories that improve curb appeal, privacy, and usability without completely starting over.
1. Privacy Hedge Installation
One of the most common requests we receive is:
“We’d like more privacy from our neighbors.”
Privacy hedges create a natural screen while softening fences and property lines. Popular options include Podocarpus, Viburnum, Clusia, and other low-maintenance screening plants suited to Central Florida.
Privacy hedges are especially popular around pools, patios, side yards, and properties with close neighboring homes.
Ideal for:
- Pool privacy
- Backyard screening
- Blocking unwanted views
- Softening fences
2. Landscape Refreshes
Many landscapes don’t need a complete redesign. They simply need fresh plants, updated mulch, and removal of overgrown or declining material.
A landscape refresh focuses on improving what already exists while reducing maintenance and increasing curb appeal.
Typical refresh projects include:
- Replacing dead or struggling shrubs
- Adding seasonal color
- Updating foundation plantings
- Fresh mulch installation
- Removing outdated plants
3. Property Cleanups & Landscape Resets
Sometimes landscapes have simply been neglected for years.
Overgrown shrubs, excessive debris, volunteer plants, and accumulated dead material can make a property feel overwhelming.
A landscape reset removes the clutter and establishes a clean foundation for future improvements.
Common cleanup services:
- Shrub reduction
- Selective pruning
- Debris removal
- Bed redefining
- Haul-off services
4. Front Yard Curb Appeal Upgrades
For homeowners preparing to sell or simply wanting a cleaner appearance, front yard upgrades often provide the biggest visual impact.
These projects focus on simple improvements that dramatically improve the appearance of the home.
Popular upgrades include:
- Foundation planting improvements
- New accent plants
- Mulch replacement
- Entry enhancements
- Low-maintenance landscape updates
5. Tropical Landscape Enhancements
Winter Park homeowners often want a lush Florida feel without creating a landscape that becomes difficult to maintain.
Strategic use of palms, bird of paradise, ginger, philodendrons, and other tropical plants can create a resort-style appearance while remaining practical and manageable.
The goal is not maximum plant variety. The goal is a clean, cohesive landscape that matures well over time.
Which Landscape Project Is Right for You?
Most projects begin with photos and a conversation about your goals, budget, and maintenance preferences.
Whether you’re looking for privacy, curb appeal, a landscape refresh, or a complete property reset, the best projects start with a clear understanding of the outcome you’re trying to achieve.
