Landscape care for Naples homes, estates and communities

Naples properties ask a lot of a landscape. Beachfront and bayfront homes in Old Naples, Port Royal and Aqualane Shores face salt air and sandy soil, while communities further inland carry long hedges, lakes and large irrigation systems.

One detail catches many owners out: a Naples mailing address does not always mean the City of Naples. Pelican Bay and much of North Naples are unincorporated Collier County, which sets different fertilizer and irrigation rules. We confirm which rules apply to your property before setting a schedule.

Estate and community owners here often expect detailed care: pruning timed to the plant, clean bed edges, palms kept tidy and irrigation adjusted through the year. That is the work our maintenance programs are built around.

Watering, fertilizer and tree rules in Naples

Inside city limits, the City of Naples sets these rules. Unincorporated Collier County addresses follow county rules instead.

  • City of Naples watering schedule

    Inside city limits, full irrigation is allowed three days a week: odd-numbered addresses on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, even-numbered addresses on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, between 12:01 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Hand watering with a self-closing nozzle is allowed from 5 to 7 p.m. The city also runs a reclaimed water system with its own hours.

  • Rainy-season fertilizer rules

    The city does not allow fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 to September 30, or during severe weather advisories. Fertilizer must be at least 50% slow-release nitrogen, and no nitrogen may be applied before seeding or sodding or for 30 days after.

  • Naples address, county rules

    Unincorporated Collier County, which includes Pelican Bay, has no rainy-season fertilizer ban but requires at least 50% slow-release nitrogen, a 10-foot buffer from water and a soil test before applying phosphorus. Its rules do not apply inside the City of Naples or Marco Island.

  • Tree alteration permits

What are the water restrictions in Naples, FL?

Inside the City of Naples, irrigation is allowed three days a week: odd addresses Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, even addresses Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, between 12:01 and 8:00 a.m. Hand watering is allowed from 5 to 7 p.m. Properties in unincorporated Collier County follow county rules.

Is my Naples address in the city or the county?

Many Naples mailing addresses, including Pelican Bay and most of North Naples, are in unincorporated Collier County rather than the City of Naples. The difference changes fertilizer and irrigation rules, so we confirm it before scheduling work.

What is the difference between a landscape designer and a landscape architect?

A landscape architect is a licensed professional who can prepare sealed plans for regulated projects. A landscape designer plans planting and layout for residential and maintenance work. Most bed renovations and replantings need design, not architecture; larger commercial or permitted projects may need an architect.

How much does landscape maintenance cost in Naples?

It depends on property size, visit frequency and what the scope includes. We walk the property, then send a written scope with pricing that lists inclusions and exclusions, so it is easy to compare with other proposals.

Do you repair irrigation systems in Naples?

Yes. We test each zone, repair heads, valves and lines, and program controllers to the city or county schedule that applies to your address.
