Entries and seasonal color
The plantings residents see first
Entry monuments, pool decks and clubhouse beds carry an association's first impression. We plant for Central Florida's heat and rainy season and change the color twice a year.
What is included
Entry beds changed out twice a year
Mulch or pine straw refreshed in the marked beds
Plant lists the board approves before planting
Pond banks and swales trimmed to the waterline
Plants that fail listed in the report with a plan

Questions
Questions about plantings
How often is the color changed?
Twice a year if the scope says so: once for the cooler months and once at the start of summer.
Who chooses the plants?
Bernadette proposes a list chosen for sun, heat and the rainy season. The board approves it before anything is planted.
What about algae in the ponds?
Algae and aquatic plants need a licensed pond vendor. We trim the bank and tell your manager what we see.
