While there are many opportunities to incorporate professional landscape lighting into the landscape, the most frequent use is to create a cohesive environment that projects an owner's attitudes and effectively combines the lighting of focal points with safety and security lighting. Before you light focal points, decide which elements of the focal points need to be stressed and from where they will be viewed. In all categories, beauty must be considered first. If the tree has open growth, let the light spill down through the leaves and branches, creating interesting shapes and contrasts in highlight and shadow.
With access to all of Central Florida wholesale nurseries, we recommend Girard Environmental Services, Inc. of Sanford, FL. to our customers. It can be quite a feat to mix and match the various types of elements to create the perfect design. One of the key factors of a successful landscaping design in the element of unity. All of the materials you use in the design need to come together. Consistency is very important if you are creating any type of pattern. Creating a theme is a great way to ensure unity.
Expert installation is the first important step in creating a great landscape and lighting system. However, maintaining your lighting system investment is just as important. The low-voltage lamps we install typically have an average life of about 4,000 hours - which is equivalent to running your system 6 hours a night for 2 years. However there is no written guarantee from the manufacturer. So, to make sure all of your lights are working properly, we recommend a 100% bulb replacement every 24 - 30 months.
Is your Home owners association sending you nasty letters saying it's time to clean your roof or home? Is your roof black as a result of last years hurricanes? is your driveway growing weeds and looking a fright? Then you have come to the right place! At Landscapes of Florida we are dedicated to providing the best services we possibly can no matter how long it takes. We pride ourselves on being detailed and because we are so thorough we do not use chemicals to perform our pressure cleaning services.
From walkways to patios built into their natural surroundings, we work with the site and nature's intent. Our construction looks like it belongs there. Whether your taste calls for the crisp clean lines of the modern brick or the classic old style, Landscapes of Florida can create a design to suit your taste palette. All of our patios can be laid out in a variety of arrangements such as "random" which incorporates multiple sizes configured in a pattern. Elegant accents are created through the use of circle kits and fan inlays.
One of the best investments you can make in your yard is landscape trees. The US Department of Energy has noted that an 8-foot tall deciduous tree (one that sheds its leaves) costs about as much as an awning for one large window. But the tree will save hundreds of dollars in reduced cooling costs while still letting winter sun into the home to further save on heating and lighting costs, not to mention the trees look, feel and beauty. Trees provide the backdrop for your garden plantings, reduce noise pollution, screen unwanted sights from view, provide a haven for birds and bring color and visual interest throughout the seasons.
Sprinkler heads and piping are installed underground and connected directly to your water meter. When it is time to water, the nozzles automatically pop up and water the area and retract when they are done. Automatic irrigation saves money and water at the same time. The system meters the water out exactly. Each head is calibrated to release a certain amount of water (from 1.5 to 2 gal per minute). With our sophisticated RainBird controllers, we can put down exactly the amount of water required in each area of the landscape.
Businesses in the Central Florida rely on appealing to their customers through projecting a professional appearance. We understand this importance and excel in cleaning retail and office exteriors, specializing in gum (pictured left) and grime removal on concrete surfaces. Your customers may not notice when your exteriors and concrete walkways are maintained, but they will definitely take notice when they are not. We also pressure wash trucks which are part of a commercial fleet. Whether a part of a business or home, your driveway and walkways are often the first thing a person or customer will see when stepping onto your property.
When you call for a consultation with our irrigation designer, he will come to your home and create a landscape plan. The head placement is set for overlapping coverage in the turf areas while also providing adequate coverage for the beds. Each circle represents a RainBird R-50 closed-case rotor-driven head. They are equipped with a RainCurtain nozzle for even distribution through its 25' radius arc. The square symbols represent a RainBird 1806 fountain-type head equipped with a square-pattern nozzle.
We offer a variety of cleaning methods to improve your home or business through the removal of mold, mildew, dirt, and discoloring. Landscapes of Florida utilizes state of the art techniques that leave any surface looking new again. Will pressure cleaning my home harm or peel my paint? No, due to our cleaning process, equipment and experience this is not a problem. Exterior cleaning will actually help prolong your paint life by removing mold, mildew and other elements that are hard on your painted surfaces.
If you're thinking of building or adding a patio to your home, you will probably need some backyard patios ideas. Put some thought into what you want before you get started, such as how big this area will be and how you want it to look. There are many materials that will accommodate your project. Some of the materials that you will find on the market are concrete, marble, pressure treated wood, cedar, brick and dry deck. Consider also what you want to have included in your plan. Your backyard patio can have a built in barbeque, a waterfall that would help make your patio a little more peaceful as you sit there in the late evening, a swing that could be directly built into your patio or free standing, planters for flowers you can enjoy during a warm summer's evening enjoying the aroma that only flowers can bring.
Once your system is installed, we provide ongoing support through our WaterGuard plan. With this we take care of all your system maintenance for five years including winterization, system start-up and check-out in the spring, and backflow preventer maintenance and recertification. Consider this scenario. It's November and you're on a trip. You glance at the weather report and a cold front with a possible freeze warning is heading for home. Then you think, "Oh no, the irrigation system is still on."
Florida offers sunshine throughout the year, selecting sod and maintaining proper water increases your landscapes overall appeal. However, due to weed, bug, and other problems, often areas of sod need replacement. Landscapes of Florida offer only the highest quality of sod from Floratam, Seville and Palmetto, different varieties of St. Augustine. In addition to Zoysia, commonly used on sports fields and lawns, as well as bermuda, typically installed on athletic fields. Sod installation includes removal of old sod, leveling of ground soil and placement of new sod.
A pergola or gazebo can be used to section off a part of your yard for entertaining while providing some shade. Our pergola kits offer easy assembly with pre-cut and pre-drilled posts. For an even more ornate structure, we have a variety of gazebos to choose from. The gazebo is a classic outdoor piece that has been used for generations as a wedding setting, social gathering structure, and even just a shaded place to relax. A gazebo kit can help you add a touch of history and elegance to your lawn or garden.
The shredded texture and orange-brown color brightens most any landscape project. The moisture holding properties of cypress causes this mulch to retain water around the plants more than any other type of mulch. This new mulch option is shredded and dyed with a non-toxic coloring and provides a beautiful contrast to any green landscaping site. The color enhanced mulch is long lasting and offers an environmentally sensible alternative to all other mulches offered.
