Marco Island, Florida
Coastal landscaping for Florida's barrier island
Marco Island is the largest barrier island in the Ten Thousand Islands, with about six miles of beach and more than 100 miles of waterways. Salt spray, wind and sandy soil decide which plants thrive here, and they make regular pruning, irrigation checks and clean-up after storms part of normal care.
Waterfront homes, condominium grounds and commercial properties all share those conditions. Plants chosen for salt tolerance, irrigation that reaches the right beds, and fertilizing done by the city's rules keep a coastal landscape looking settled rather than stressed.
The city also has its own fertilizer permit process and protections for mangroves and wildlife, so we confirm what a project needs before work starts.

No fertilizer from June 1 to September 30 or when heavy rain is forecast.

The city requires a fertilizer permit application one business day before applying.

Mangroves, vegetation and wildlife
Clearing vegetation on a vacant lot generally needs a city permit. Mangrove trimming is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and gopher tortoises require a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission permit before clearing.
Salt, wind and sand
Barrier-island landscapes do best with salt-tolerant plants, mulch that holds moisture in sandy soil, and irrigation that reaches beds rather than paving. After storms, debris clean-up and pruning come first.
