Landscape Installation in Palm Beach County, FL

Landscape installation is the work of building a landscape on site, including grading, planting trees and shrubs, laying sod and mulch, and installing pavers, lighting, and irrigation. Ocean's Edge Landscaping provides full landscape installation across Palm Beach County, following an approved design or working with plans from your architect or designer.

Landscape installation is where your vision becomes reality. Whether you are working from a design plan we created or one provided by your architect, Ocean's Edge Landscaping delivers full-service installation with the precision and attention to detail that Palm Beach County homeowners expect. Our installation crews handle every element of the project, from site preparation and grading to irrigation system installation, hardscaping, planting, sod, mulch, and outdoor lighting. We manage the entire process so you have a single point of contact from start to finish.

South Florida's unique soil conditions present challenges that many out-of-state landscapers underestimate. The sandy, alkaline soil found throughout Palm Beach County drains quickly but often lacks the nutrients and organic matter that plants need to establish strong root systems. Our crews amend soil with the right blend of organic materials and fertilizers for each planting zone. We grade sites to direct stormwater away from structures while ensuring planting beds retain adequate moisture. Every irrigation system we install is designed for South Florida's rain patterns, with smart controllers that adjust watering based on actual weather conditions and comply with local water management district regulations.

Our hardscaping capabilities include paver patios and pool decks, natural stone walkways, travertine driveways, retaining walls, raised planting beds, outdoor kitchen foundations, and fire pit surrounds. We source materials from trusted Florida suppliers and install everything to manufacturer specifications with proper base preparation to prevent settling in our sandy soils. Every installation project includes a detailed walkthrough upon completion and a post-installation care guide so you know exactly how to maintain your new landscape during the critical establishment period.

Site Preparation & Grading

Our crew clears the site, removes existing materials, grades the land for proper drainage, and prepares planting beds with soil amendments tailored to South Florida's alkaline conditions.

Irrigation System Installation

We install a zoned irrigation system with rain sensors and smart controllers. Each zone is calibrated for the specific water needs of the plants in that area, from turf to tropical specimens.

Pavers, retaining walls, walkways, and other hardscape features are installed with proper base material and compaction to ensure long-term stability in South Florida soil.

Planting & Sod Installation

Trees, palms, shrubs, groundcovers, and accent plants are installed according to the design plan. Fresh sod is laid and immediately watered to promote root establishment.

Landscape Installation Questions

What happens on the first day of a landscape installation?

The first day usually starts with site preparation, including marking utilities, removing old plants or turf, and rough grading. Ocean's Edge reviews the plan with you on site so everyone agrees on plant locations and access before planting begins.

How much does landscape installation cost in Palm Beach County?

Installation cost depends on the size of the area, the number and size of plants and trees, the amount of hardscape such as pavers or walls, and how easy it is to bring equipment onto the site. Larger specimen plants and new irrigation or lighting add to the scope. Ocean's Edge offers a free estimate based on your plan and property.

Do I need to be home during the installation?

You do not need to be home for most of the installation, as long as the crew has access to the work areas and water. It helps to be available at the start for a walkthrough and at the end for a final review of the finished work.

How should I water new plants after installation?

New plants need more frequent watering for the first several weeks while their roots establish, then the schedule can be reduced. Ocean's Edge sets up your irrigation for the new plantings and gives you watering guidance for the establishment period.

Is it safe to install a new landscape during hurricane season?

Yes, landscapes can be installed during hurricane season, and the warm, wet months help many plants root quickly. Ocean's Edge stakes new trees and palms properly and can adjust the schedule if a storm is forecast.
