Sustainable Planting with Native Species
Leveraging native plant communities creates a durable, low‑input landscape that excels in Indian River's saline air, beach soils, and warm climate. You determine function first: protect dunes with sea oats, create privacy with Simpson's stopper, and define entries with coontie or dwarf yaupon holly. Florida natives create the backbone while minimizing care requirements.
Boost habitat quality with multi-level pollinator plantings - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for nectar and larval resources; native fire plant and trumpet honeysuckle for seasonal continuity. Proper plant placement is essential: align salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Use plant communities, not individual plants, to establish harmonious multi-level plantings. Choose native, region-specific plants to preserve regional genetics and reduce transplant shock. Mulch with pine straw or crushed shell for durability and clean lines.
Water-Saving Irrigation Solutions
You can optimize irrigation by implementing smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that regulate water delivery in real time.
