Landscaping in Lakewood Ranch
Lakewood Ranch landscaping sits inside one of the largest master-planned developments in Florida. The landscape standard is set at community level: a defined plant palette, defined maintenance, and a review process. We work to that standard.
We follow the community palette. The plants have to hold through a Florida August, not only through the handover photo.
Common-area maintenance is commercial landscape maintenance. New planting follows the community palette through commercial design and installation.
- Master-planned community with a set plant palette
- Defined maintenance expectations and a review process
- We work to that standard
- Plants have to hold through a Florida August
HOA and CDD common areas
HOA and CDD common areas carry the visible work and the work nobody looks at. Monument signs, seasonal color, and long median plantings in full sun are the visible part. We plant those medians with material that holds through a Florida August.
Pond edges, swales, and drainage easements stay on the same maintenance list as the median. Those are the areas that flood a driveway when they silt up.
What a board should ask before signing is in choosing a landscape company for a Tampa HOA. Entrance color is seasonal color for commercial properties.
- Monument signs and long medians in full sun
- Seasonal color at the entrances
- Pond edges, swales, and drainage easements on the same list
- Those drains flood a driveway when they silt up
Community grounds and drainage
Most of this ground was agricultural, and it was graded for stormwater as part of the development. Ponds, swales, and drainage easements are everywhere. A silted swale stays out of sight until it floods a driveway. We keep those drains in the maintenance scope.
The grading was built for retention ponds. Silt still collects, so the swale stays in the scope before the water has somewhere else to go.
Swales and regrading are drainage and grading. The same problems are described in how to control drainage on a commercial property.

Irrigation on community grounds
Irrigation here covers long medians and common turf in full sun. On the site visit we check heads, valves, and the controller, then we price any repair from what is on the property.
We check whether the heads still cover the median turf. Lakewood Ranch is in Manatee County, and the repair price comes from the equipment on site.
Median heads and controllers are irrigation installation and repair.
