Florida Friendly design, installation, irrigation, and lighting from people who have gardened this coast for four decades and still walk every site themselves.
We're a small team and we like it that way. Every project goes through the same hands, guided by Florida Friendly Landscaping principles from the first walkthrough on.
How it works
We come out, look at the soil and the light, and listen to how you use the yard. No charge, no obligation, no pitch.
Usually 45 to 60 minutes on-site.
A drawn plan with native-first plant selections, sizes, and a price you can stand behind. We send it over; you sit with it.
Turnaround typically 5 to 10 days after the walkthrough.
Crew shows up when we said they would. We install, water in, mulch, and walk it with you before we leave.
We follow up at 30 / 60 / 90 days to make sure it’s thriving.

Featured · July 2025Our crew handled the landscape package for the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall: a public venue that needed planting tough enough for coastal conditions, summer install heat, and heavy foot traffic. Designed, grown, and installed by the same team.
What customers say
“Southern Horticulture is, by far, the best nursery and landscape service in the Saint Augustine area. What makes them special is not only the quality and unique nursery stock but also the management and staff. They are professional, courteous, helpful and very creative. I work with them often and always get beautiful and interesting results in my home landscape. I highly recommend Bill and his great team for all your exterior design needs.”
“We have purchased from Southern Horticulture for over 5 years and have always been treated to friendly and knowledgeable service, prompt attention, and a professional team. From our on-site herb garden to our datil plants, we can’t imagine using anyone else for our extensive landscaping and gardening needs!”
Frequently asked
Straight answers before anyone starts sketching beds or pricing plants.
Nothing. We come out, look at the yard, and listen. No charge, no obligation. We only quote if you want a quote.
Usually 4 to 8 weeks depending on the season and the size of the job.
Yes. A single bed redo, an irrigation tune up, a lighting refresh. All on the table. We just need the math to work for both of us.
St. Augustine, Crescent Beach, and Anastasia Island. Outside that radius, sometimes we can based on seasonality.
Strong Florida front yards layer evergreen structure with seasonal color: a few foundation shrubs, a small flowering tree or palm for height, drifts of low-water perennials, and clean groundcover or mulch beds. Florida-Friendly, right-plant-right-place choices keep it low maintenance. Our team can help you plan it.
