How to Get That Perfect Landscaping in Florida



You really don’t have to be an expert to get Florida friendly landscaping in your yard. It is so hard trying to know which plants work best where and trying to make it look nice.

Really all you need to do to have Florida friendly landscaping is to get low- maintenance plants. You also need to do a little well-timed pruning, that goes a long way towards improving your landscaping. It makes them more attractive and allows them to grow healthier. You need to remove dead, diseased or broken branches and weak limbs.

As winter approaches many plants lose their leaves this makes it easier to see the framework of the plant and then you can decide which branches you need to shorten or remove.

Some of the best trees and shrubs for Florida can be things such as pineapple guava (Acca sellowiana) they add interest to your garden with its gray-green leaves and waxy pink and white flowers, this small tree reaches about 8-12 feet tall and likes to be in the full sun. It is easy to grow. There is also the Firebush with its orange flowers, and of course the palm tree.

Before you know it you can have a beautiful yard full of color all year round. Keep that pruning up!
