Residential Landscaping Services

Managing your garden or a landscape seems to take a lot of knowledge and skill. You have to know when to plant, how to spot diseases, how much to fertilize, etc. Just the thought of operating a mower is intimidating to some - not to mention changing the oil and sharpening the blade. With so many skills to master, it’s no wonder that homeowners contemplate turning the job over to experts.

Everything from a low maintenance turf area to a paved patio and large-scale landscape with expertly planted shrubs, trees and plants.

Irrigation Systems Installation and Monitoring

Tropical Landscape is experienced in designing and laying out your sprinkler system to ensure 100% coverage of all needed areas with the right products.

Consideration is taken in the choices of which areas will require what types of applications, such as drip and sprayers for flower bed areas or turf rotors for grass areas. We design our systems to have "head-to-head coverage" wherever possible, meaning adjacent sprinkler heads spray patterns will shoot from one head to the other and vice-versa insuring proper coverage of the area between them. Complete measurements will be taken of the area you would like irrigated to insure the most efficient system possible.

Tropical Landscape uses only the best irrigation systems available that will last for many years to come. Your system comes with a 90-day installation guarantee depending on the project – most projects carry a 6-month to 1-year guarantee. The IAI forms are added as an attachment to your contract. We also offer service contracts including Spring Tune-ups and Winterizing.

• No more over or under watering.

• Watering at the optimum time of day.

• Your watering schedule continues even if you're out of town.

• By regularly watering and fertilizing, you will see noticeable results in your lawn and landscaping.

• No dry spots. A well-designed system ensures your entire landscape is covered.

Irrigation monitoring is but another tool that makes Tropical Landscape successful in providing its customers with the highest quality landscape maintenance programs possible.

New Customer Process

When Tropical Landscape begins work on a new customer's garden or a landscape, certain tests and corrective actions are performed:

• Site analysis - Completing a walk-through and doing a comprehensive site analysis are things we actually do prior to preparing to bid on a new job. Although there are many similarities between South Florida’s landscapes, there are also many differences within individual sites. The site analysis gives us the information we need to accurately define the type and amount of work your garden or landscape will require to bring it up to Tropical Landscape's high standard.

• Complete irrigation system audit - When we start or take over a job, the first thing we do is a complete irrigation audit because we believe it is essential that we insure the landscape is being properly watered. Both over watering and under watering is harmful to the landscape, so we check every station on every controller, measuring its individual flow rate, and we check the area that each valve waters. All repairs and corrections are made immediately, and all systems are checked for correct nozzles, head placement, water pressure, and over spray. Once all the fieldwork has been completed, the information gathered is entered into our computerized irrigation management and monitoring system. This system helps us control the amount of water applied based on the existing weather.

• Major and thorough cleaning of the landscape for HOA - We normally clean around the residences first and then all common areas. This process can sometimes take a fair amount of time to accomplish depending on the condition of the landscape and the size of the community or property.

• Fertilization program – Commercial sites only. Based on the nutrient deficiencies identified in our site analysis and soil testing, we establish and implement our fertilization program for the planters, lawns and slope areas.

• Weed and pest control programs - Commercial sites only. Based on problems identified in our site analysis, we establish and implement our weed and pest control program for the problem areas.

• Lawn care program - Based on all the information gathered, we establish and implement our lawn care program for the neighborhood or individual garden. Depending on the time of year, that may call for us to initiate a deeper watering schedule to encourage root growth and deeper penetration (spring and early summer), or it may call for us to initiate a reduced watering schedule (late fall and winter).

• Pruning and shaping - One of the last things we do for a new customer is corrective pruning and shaping of the landscape plants and trees. The goal here is to accent the individual plant or tree's form, or to restore its form to what it should be.

• Goal setting - We plan and schedule visits with our customer's landscape committee and/or Board members to various nurseries. During these visits we discuss the plant material that is best suited for their community and to put the final touches on a site-specific plant list. With that list and with information obtained through our site analysis, we meet with these customer representatives to establish short and long term goals for their community or property - goals that will determine when and where landscape improvements will be made.

When this process is followed, the neighborhood is well on its way to becoming a Tropical Landscape community. And, when this process is completed, the community is in a condition that allows the upgrades and renovation work defined by the goals to begin.
