What Is Zeroscape Landscaping?
Zeros! caping landscaping (also called xeriscaping or zero-water landscaping) is an environmentally friendly landscape solution that includes drought-tolerant plants, hardscaping and mulch. In Fort Myers, this approach is great for cutting back on irrigation costs and maintenance needs without compromising on looks.
A zeroscape does not have to be barren or like a desert. It means smarter, climate-attuned choices, native palms and succulents, grasses and other xerophytic plants laid out with intent as well as aesthetics.
Our Zeroscape Services in Fort Myers
We help homeowners transition from high-maintenance, water-intensive lawns to beautiful, low-water landscapes. Whether you are starting from scratch, bringing a yard back to life, or converting an existing yard, we offer:
- Custom Landscape Design: We tailor every design to your property’s soil, sun, slope, and style. Our plans integrate drought-tolerant plants, efficient layouts, and visual balance.
- Professional Installation: Site preparation, hardscaping, minimal irrigation (if any), soil amendment, and plant installation.
- Landscape Conversions: Turn those thirsty lawns or overgrown spaces into self-sustaining, low maintenance areas with drought tolerant and native plants.
We design for Southwest Florida’s climate and your long-term comfort.
Choosing the Right Drought-Tolerant Plants
If done correctly, plant selection is the most important element in any successful xeriscape. We focus on:
- Florida native drought tolerant plants, with an acclimation grower to ensure they can withstand the heat and dry conditions of Florida
- Southwest Florida standouts, including succulents, agaves, native grasses and drought-tolerant palms
- Coastal and xerophytic plants that hold up in extreme heat and salt exposure
We offer an in-depth consultation to determine the appropriate plant mix for your taste and area conditions.
