Top Landscaping Companies in Florida: How to Choose the Best One for Your Property

When it comes to maintaining or enhancing your property, choosing the right landscaping companies in Florida can make all the difference. With a wide range of landscaping services available across the state, it’s essential to find a company that aligns with your specific needs. Whether you need regular lawn care, a complete garden overhaul, or hardscaping services, this guide will help you navigate the selection process and choose the best landscaping company for your property.

Understanding Your Landscaping Needs

Before you start searching for landscaping companies in Florida, it’s crucial to identify your specific landscaping needs. Are you looking for ongoing lawn maintenance, seasonal plantings, or more complex hardscaping like patios, walkways, or retaining walls? Some companies specialize in routine lawn care, while others focus on design and installation services for more extensive projects.

If you're unsure about your needs, it may help to schedule a consultation with a few local landscaping companies. Many businesses offer free estimates, allowing you to discuss your vision and receive suggestions for enhancing your outdoor space.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Landscaping Companies in Florida

1. Experience and Reputation One of the first things to look for when hiring a landscaping company is experience. Landscaping services can vary greatly depending on the company’s expertise. Check for online reviews, testimonials, and references to gauge the company’s reputation. Websites like Google Reviews or Yelp provide valuable insights from past clients and will help you make an informed decision.

2. Services Offered Different landscaping companies in Florida offer various services. Some companies may specialize in maintenance services like lawn mowing and trimming, while others focus on design, installation, and landscaping renovations. Be sure to choose a company that can meet all your needs. If you have a specific project in mind, such as installing an irrigation system or creating a new garden, look for a company that has experience in those areas.

3. Budget and Pricing Landscaping projects can vary widely in cost, depending on the scope of work. Ask for detailed quotes and compare prices from several companies. Keep in mind that the cheapest option isn’t always the best. Quality work may come at a higher price, but it can save you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs or rework. Many landscaping companies in Florida also offer customizable service packages that can fit a range of budgets.

4. License and Insurance Ensure that the landscaping company you choose is licensed and insured. A reputable company will have the necessary certifications to operate legally in Florida. Insurance is important to protect both you and the landscaping team in case of accidents or damage during the project.

5. Local Expertise and Knowledge Florida’s climate presents unique challenges for landscaping, from tropical storms to hot, humid summers. It's essential to choose a company with experience in managing Florida’s specific environmental conditions. A company that understands local plants, pests, and weather patterns will be better equipped to design a sustainable and thriving landscape for your property.

How to Find the Right Landscaping Company for Your Property

Finding landscaping companies in Florida is easier than ever. Start by conducting an online search to discover local companies in your area. Many companies have websites with information about their services, portfolio, and customer reviews. Some may even offer free consultations or online tools to help you estimate the cost of your landscaping project.

Interactive Tip: Use online platforms that allow you to compare different landscaping companies side by side. You can filter results by services offered, pricing, or customer ratings. Additionally, consider requesting an online consultation, where you can discuss your needs with a company representative without the need for an in-person meeting.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right landscaping company in Florida is crucial to the success of your landscaping project. Take your time to research potential companies, compare services, and consult with professionals before making your final decision. With the right company by your side, your property can become the beautiful, functional outdoor space you’ve always dreamed of.

Federal regulators on Tuesday [April 23, 2024] enacted a nationwide ban on new noncompete agreements, which keep millions of Americans — from minimum-wage earners to CEOs — from switching jobs within their industries.

The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday afternoon voted 3-to-2 to approve the new rule, which will ban noncompetes for all workers when the regulations take effect in 120 days [So, the ban starts in early September, 2024!]. For senior executives, existing noncompetes can remain in force. For all other employees, existing noncompetes are not enforceable.

[That's right: if you're currently under a noncompete agreement, it's completely invalid as of September 2024! You're free!!]

The antitrust and consumer protection agency heard from thousands of people who said they had been harmed by noncompetes, illustrating how the agreements are "robbing people of their economic liberty," FTC Chair Lina Khan said. 

The FTC commissioners voted along party lines, with its two Republicans arguing the agency lacked the jurisdiction to enact the rule and that such moves should be made in Congress...

Why it matters

The new rule could impact tens of millions of workers, said Heidi Shierholz, a labor economist and president of the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank. 

"For nonunion workers, the only leverage they have is their ability to quit their job," Shierholz told CBS MoneyWatch. "Noncompetes don't just stop you from taking a job — they stop you from starting your own business."

Since proposing the new rule, the FTC has received more than 26,000 public comments on the regulations. The final rule adopted "would generally prevent most employers from using noncompete clauses," the FTC said in a statement.

The agency's action comes more than two years after President Biden directed the agency to "curtail the unfair use" of noncompetes, under which employees effectively sign away future work opportunities in their industry as a condition of keeping their current job. The president's executive order urged the FTC to target such labor restrictions and others that improperly constrain employees from seeking work.

"The freedom to change jobs is core to economic liberty and to a competitive, thriving economy," Khan said in a statement making the case for axing noncompetes. "Noncompetes block workers from freely switching jobs, depriving them of higher wages and better working conditions, and depriving businesses of a talent pool that they need to build and expand."

Real-life consequences

In laying out its rationale for banishing noncompetes from the labor landscape, the FTC offered real-life examples of how the agreements can hurt workers.

In one case, a single father earned about $11 an hour as a security guard for a Florida firm, but resigned a few weeks after taking the job when his child care fell through. Months later, he took a job as a security guard at a bank, making nearly $15 an hour. But the bank terminated his employment after receiving a letter from the man's prior employer stating he had signed a two-year noncompete.

In another example, a factory manager at a textile company saw his paycheck dry up after the 2008 financial crisis. A rival textile company offered him a better job and a big raise, but his noncompete blocked him from taking it, according to the FTC. A subsequent legal battle took three years, wiping out his savings. 

-via CBS Moneywatch, April 24, 2024

--

Note:

A lot of people think that noncompete agreements are only a white-collar issue, but they absolutely affect blue-collar workers too, as you can see from the security guard anecdote.

In fact, one in six food and service workers are bound by noncompete agreements. That's right - one in six food workers can't leave Burger King to work for Wendy's [hypothetical example], in the name of "trade secrets." (x, x, x)

Noncompete agreements also restrict workers in industries from tech and video games to neighborhood yoga studios. "The White House estimates that tens of millions of workers are subject to noncompete agreements, even in states like California where they're banned." (x, x, x)

The FTC estimates that the ban will lead to "the creation of 8,500 new businesses annually, an average annual pay increase of $524 for workers, lower health care costs, and as many as 29,000 more patents each year for the next decade." (x)

Clearer explanation of noncompete agreements below the cut.

Noncompete agreements can restrict workers from leaving for a better job or starting their own business.

Noncompetes often effectively coerce workers into staying in jobs they want to leave, and even force them to leave a profession or relocate.

Noncompetes can prevent workers from accepting higher-paying jobs, and even curtail the pay of workers not subject to them directly.

Of the more than 26,000 comments received by the FTC, more than 25,000 supported banning noncompetes.

Before he was president, Trump bought an estate in West Palm Beach, Florida. He put up an 80 foot flag pole and flew a 375 sq. ft. US flag on it.

The City Council told him that he could only have a 30 foot pole but he refused to take it down. They told him they would fine him $1250 a day until he took it down. He said fine, that's a chump change. When the fine reached $120,000 he went to the city council and made a deal. He said he would lower the flag to a 50 foot pole if he could donate the $120,000 to the Veterans Affairs, to which they agreed.

So he took down the 80 foot pole and a landscape company came in and built up a 30 foot hill where the pole was and then put up a 50 foot pole.

That's why ya gotta love this guy! 🤔 🇺🇲

The politics in Lancer the mech pilot TTRPG seems center left to me. A good way to explain what's going on in that game's universe is with this overly long metaphor:

Imagine an alternate history where Nixon somehow beat JFK Jr to the white house, and once in office he lets Kissinger go nuts setting fascists up on an accelerated schedule. That's what Union's Second Committee was like. Then Tricky Dick procedes to nuke Vietnam a couple times. That's the Hercynia Crisis and that FTL Piston weapon launch. JFK and company ride the shock and horror of approaching nuclear war into office on the promise of de-escalation and enforcing civil rights, and they deliver. That's the coup that formed Union's Third Committee. Kissinger, Nixon, and the entire pentagon/raytheon corp take over NASA in Cape Canaveral, Florida where they form a tolerated corporatocracy in exile. That's basically Harrison Armory on the planet Ras Shamra. Now a United liberal-leftist front of America is actively trying to tear down dictatorships around the world that Kissinger set up (he got assassinated at some point in this time line) and replace them with socialist democracies. That is Union's Justice/Human-Rights Department and a few other government branches. So far they've had some success although people are pointing out that it's a bit hypocritical that the liberators are using weapons from corporate conservative states where civil rights are discretely curtailed. That's what's driving political discourse in 5016u in Union's legislative body, the Central Committee and it's myriad political parties.

So yeah Lancer's political intergalactic landscape is a bit like modern day? Except also cthulhu is giving out reality-breaking tech to militant civil rights advocates and random civilians? That's what HORUS basically is, btw.

Now that I've written this out, it would make for a good american alt-history with mechs campaign in Lancer...

Foxx Nolte's "Hidden History of Walt Disney World"

NEXT SATURDAY (July 20), I'm appearing in CHICAGO at Exile in Bookville.

No one writes about Disney theme parks like Foxx Nolte; no one rises above the trivia and goes beyond the mere sleuthing of historical facts, no one nails the essence of what makes these parks work – and fail.

I first encountered Nolte through her blog, Passport to Dreams Old and New, where her writing transformed the way I viewed the project of these giant, elaborate built environments. It was through articles like this one – about the sightlines from bathrooms! – that I came to truly understand what design criticism means:

https://passport2dreams.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-awkward-transitions-of-disneyland.html

While her work on queue design transformed how I thought about waiting, scarce-goods allocation, and the psychology of anticipation and desire:

https://passport2dreams.blogspot.com/2010/12/third-queue.html

But I really knew her for a kindred spirit when I read her masterful analysis of the historical context and enduring power of the Haunted Mansion:

https://passport2dreams.blogspot.com/2010/05/history-and-haunted-mansion.html

A decade after that Haunted Mansion post, Nolte published the definitive history of the Haunted Mansions, Boundless Realm, the very best book ever written on the subject:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/11/09/boundless-realm/#fuxxfur

This year, Nolte came back with another short, smart, endlessly fascinating history of Disney World, Hidden History of Walt Disney World:

https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/products/9781467156189

There are many histories of Walt Disney World, but none are quite like this. Nolte – who worked at the park for many years – combines her insider's view with her deep historical knowledge and yields up a "hidden history" that will forever change how I look at the built environment and the natural landscape it sits atop.

The path to Walt Disney World – an entertainment juggernaut that occupies a landmass twice the size of Manhattan – was anything but smooth. Its original design – Walt's design – barely survived groundbreaking, dying with Walt himself. Walt's successor, his brother Roy, used the occasion of Walt's death to assert his long-contested dominance over the park, drastically scaling back Walt's ambition for a bizarre residential/utopian community and replacing it with a kind of deluxe Disneyland with the idea of limiting the company's financial risk by re-creating a pre-existing, sure thing money-maker.

But Roy died within a few years of Walt, and the company transitioned from a family business to a managerial one, its direction set by executives who weren't named "Disney." These managers were just as flawed as the Disney brothers, but in much different ways (one long-serving CEO insisted that Disney should stay out of the hotel business, leaving billions on the table for contractors and third parties.

Of course, all of this is happening in Florida, and many of Nolte's funniest, juciest stories play Walt, then Roy, then various CEOs and execs off of flamboyant locals straight out of a Carl Hiaasen novel. In Nolte's capable hands, the many acres of Disney property come alive with the ghosts of Florida eccentrics and conmen who play against the deeply weird Disney brothers and their baffled corporate successors.

The history of Walt Disney World is also a history of the American narrative from the 1960s to the turn of the millennium, especially once Epcot enters the picture and Disney sets out to market itself as a futuristic mirror to America and the world. There's a doomed plan to lead the nation in the provision of an airport for the largely hypothetical short runway aircraft that never materialized, the Disney company's love-hate affair with Florida's orange growers, and the geopolitics of installing a permanent World's Fair, just as World's Fairs were disappearing from the world stage.

With Disney in disarray, corporate raiders smelled blood, and the company found itself on the brink of leveraged buyout hell, triggering another change in corporate leadership with the arrival of Michael Eisner. Nolte's portrait of Eisner is far more nuanced than the presentation in rival histories, surfacing his many forgotten gaffes – but also giving him credit where it was due. When the dust settles on the Eisner era, Disney has more theme parks in one place than can possibly be justified – in an America where workers get almost no paid vacation days, building more theme parks does not extend visitors' stays. It only adds to the expense of keeping those guests entertained during those brief, flitting visits.

The Disney empire is rooted in contradictions. The Disney brothers cordially loathed one another and the company split into "Walt people" and "Roy people" who schemed against one another in secret and sometimes even erupted into open conflict. There's something Hegelian about the Walt/Roy split: Walt went bust trying to run a creative empire that ignored the financials, and fled the ashes of his first venture to work with Roy in California. Roy disciplined Walt with financial rigor, often to excess. When the company emerged from WWII with its outside shareholders in charge, Roy became their champion and Walt's tormentor, with the ability to exercise a firm veto when he couldn't win the day through moral suasion.

Walt sought escape from his brother, proposing a series of ill-starred ventures that eventually became Disneyland. First, he proposed that he would transform his backyard ride 'em train-set into a public attraction that he would personally oversee, so that he wouldn't have to go to the office and let his brother boss him around. Then he proposed buying a locomotive and fitting out a train of railcars with exhibits promoting Disney movies, which he, personally, would drive around America, far from his brother.

Finally, he hit on Disneyland, poaching the company's best animators for a separate firm that Roy was eventually forced to buy from Walt in order to bring it back into the corporate fold. These power struggles, in which Roy first took orders from Walt, before turning the tables, only to have them turned again, culminated in the uneasy detente that characterized the era from Disneyland's opening to Walt's death.

Working with his brother may have made Walt miserable, but he evidently saw the benefit in this Hegelian dialectic, because he became infamous for putting together creative teams who were forever at each other's throats. The storied Sherman Brothers – Disney's star songwriting team – barely tolerated each other. The titans of early Imagineering were often at odds, and Walt took seemingly sadistic glee in forcing artists who disliked one another to work on joint projects.

In focusing on the conflicts between different corporate managers, outside suppliers, and the gloriously flamboyant weirdos of Florida, Nolte's history of Disney World transcends amusing anaecdotes and tittle-tattle – rather, it illustrates how the creative sparks thrown off by people smashing into each other sometimes created towering blazes of glory that burn to this day.

The above list of policies is essentially a list of things that several states in the United States are doing. Tennessee, for instance, is pushing a policy right now that would make gender affirming care child abuse and would target parents for allowing them to get that care. Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas has already begun investigations on the companies that make the drugs used for gender affirming care. Forced outing provisions, sports bans, and the threatening of funds are all being pushed in bills that have been passed or are moving across the country. Although the impact of these bills and laws are high, there are still many states which protect their transgender citizens. You can see my legislative risk assessment map where I detail that landscape. Should Trump become president again and enact these policies, even those people may not be safe. ... Could they ban gender affirming care nationwide for trans youth or even some trans adults? There are many ways that this could be pushed both legislatively and with executive orders. Legislatively, it is possible for congress to pass laws that regulate all aspects of gender affirming care. We have already seen such legislation promoted by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who announced a national bill to criminalize gender affirming care. Hopefully, legislation like that would be filibustered in the Senate, but this relies on the filibuster continuing to be preserved. An anti-trans president might direct the FDA to take unprecedented actions against the use of puberty blockers and hormone therapy in trans youth and may go after the companies that make them with regulatory actions. In his speech, Trump also pointed at using the office of Civil Rights to go after “civil rights violations” of allowing transition. We also know that Trump has been more than willing to withhold federal funding. The weaponization of federal agency regulations against transgender people is something that I have personally kept my eye on since Ron DeSantis began using those agency mechanisms in Florida.

Article from last year highlighting some of the paths they could take to attack trans rights on a national level, potentially affecting those in blue states as well. Be prepared, try to stockpile HRT, have DIY resources on hand, and also see about preparing an escape plan.

Your city is a scab on the landscape: sidewalks, roads, parking lots, rooftops—the built environment repels water into sewers and then into the environment. Urban planners have been doing it for centuries, treating stormwater as a nuisance to be diverted away as quickly as possible to avoid flooding. Not only is that a waste of free water, it’s an increasingly precarious strategy, as climate change worsens droughts but also supercharges storms, dumping ever more rainfall on impervious cities.

Urban areas in the United States generate an estimated 59.5 million acre-feet of stormwater runoff per year on average—equal to 53 billion gallons each day—according to a new report from the Pacific Institute, a nonprofit research group specializing in water. Over the course of the year, that equates to 93 percent of total municipal and industrial water use. American urban areas couldn’t feasibly capture all of that bountiful runoff, but a combination of smarter stormwater infrastructure and “sponge city” techniques like green spaces would make urban areas far more sustainable on a warming planet.

“There really is a substantial amount of stormwater runoff being generated all across the entire country,” says Bruk Berhanu, lead author of the report and a senior researcher at the Pacific Institute. “There really is no reason why stormwater capture shouldn’t be up there on the list of water sources for all communities in the country that are looking to secure their long-term supplies.”

The Pacific Institute did the calculation with the software company 2NDNATURE, which generated a high-resolution model of stormwater runoff for areas in the US with at least 2,000 housing units or 5,000 people. They combined characteristics of cities, such as the amount of impervious surface, with historical rainfall data.

In this map, blue signifies higher amounts of annual stormwater runoff from urban areas, while red is lower. States with relatively large amounts of precipitation and large urban areas, like Texas and Florida, are getting much more stormwater runoff than Montana and Idaho, where there’s less precipitation and less urban coverage. But even if it could, a given state wouldn’t want to capture every drop of stormwater falling on its cities, as rain also needs to replenish nearby rivers and lakes to sustain ecosystems.

This measure of 59.5 million acre-feet of annual stormwater runoff in the US comes from historical precipitation data. But going forward, climate change is messing with that rainfall in two main ways. It’s intensifying droughts, like in the American West, so there will be less rainfall in many places. And counterintuitively, because a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, rising temperatures result in heavier rainfall when it does rain.

“Even in areas that are becoming drier, we’re seeing more intense precipitation events,” says Heather Cooley, director of research at the Pacific Institute. “So the number this is generating is really an average annual number. And we think there is additional work to be done to look at the effects of climate change on runoff.”

The atmospheric river that soaked Los Angeles earlier this month, for example, was likely worsened by climate change. And LA, of all places, is actually paving the way for cities to better exploit the available stormwater highlighted in this new report. Or, technically speaking, the city is doing the opposite—the idea is to replace pavement with more dirt and greenery, which soaks up stormwater.

LA was able to capture 8.6 billion gallons of water from that atmospheric river in just three days, in part by diverting it into huge “spreading grounds” to percolate into the dirt. “In most of the country, we’re going to expect—and we’re already seeing—larger, more intense storms that deliver a lot of water in a short amount of time, and then longer periods between the storm events,” says Seth Brown, executive director of the National Municipal Stormwater Alliance, which provided input for the new report. “There has been this growing trend of: let’s live with water, let’s embrace water where it is, let’s manage it and value it as a resource.”

Even more locally, the nonprofit Trust for Public Land has been greening up alleys in LA with tree-planting projects. “We’re essentially tearing up alleys, putting in natural infrastructure and pervious surfaces,” says Guillermo Rodriguez, California state director at TPL, which wasn’t involved in the new report. The group is doing the same with schools, replacing asphalt with green spaces that counteract the urban heat island effect, in which the built environment absorbs the sun’s energy to raise temperatures. That’s especially critical in lower-income neighborhoods that get significantly hotter than richer neighborhoods, which tend to be greener. “We bring natural infrastructure in there and create shading, create stormwater capture, do all the important amenity benefits that deliver a cooler place to play,” says Rodriguez.

Even in the Eastern US, which is more water-blessed than the West, cities like New York and Pittsburgh are scrambling to deploy green infrastructure to mitigate flooding. That could be a simple roadside area, like a rain garden or bioswale. More cities are also adopting stormwater fees, charging landowners based on the amount of impervious surfaces on a property, thus encouraging them to open up more ground. Where an impervious surface is required, like a sidewalk or parking lot, cities are using “permeable pavers” with gaps that allow water to get through. Recharging aquifers this way helps prevent the over-extraction of groundwater, which is causing the land itself to sink, known as subsidence.

No longer a liability to be disposed of as quickly as possible, stormwater is becoming a bigger and bigger asset across the US. “We’re going the right direction. It’s just going to take decades for this to happen,” says Brown. “I think we’re just going to accelerate that as we see the forces of climate change.”

Landscape Design & Installation Mistakes to Avoid in Florida

Nothing can be better than landscaping when you wish to increase your Florida home's curb appeal and value. It’s like decorating your outdoors with beautiful trees, flowers, and elements. But, there are a few landscape design & installation mistakes that you should avoid to get the best results. Even if you are working with a landscape company in Florida, you should keep these in mind.

Not planning before planting.

When you start planting without planning, things take a wrong turn. You should sit with your landscape contractor in Florida and prepare a chart on how you want your garden to look. This planning is important for budgeting as well.

If you run out of money midway, your landscape will shatter in pieces, and the final look will not be as expected.

Landscaping for a season

Your landscaping plan should work year-round. Don’t plan to consider a particular season; this might be expensive.

If you are concerned about unpredictable weather changes, choose plants accordingly. For every plant that dies during the winter, find a plant that stays green. Use non-living pieces to enhance your landscape design and installation in Florida.

Clumping the colors

Landscaping is incomplete without colors. However, many homeowners don’t use colors properly. They limit the use of colors to one part of the design. Use colors everywhere with a proper balance.

Consider green as a neutral color in landscaping and add colors everywhere without hesitation.

Not taking into account irrigation needs.

Irrigation is an important aspect of landscaping. Many people think irrigation is about getting enough water to the plants, but it’s really about ensuring that water doesn’t destroy landscaping.

This is a major problem if you live in a low-lying area, as water sets in puddles, killing grass and other plants. You should look after your pools and ponds to prevent overflowing. In the summer season, water should be accessible to both large and small plants.

Not considering each plant’s needs.

Every plant has certain needs. You should consider these needs to make your landscaping design work.

Generally, larger plants need more water and space for proper growth. On the other hand, you should consider if smaller plants are getting enough sun based on their location in your garden. Simply said, make sure that the needs of each plant are met by their space in your design.

Forgetting about wildlife

There are different types of furry and feathered creatures in Florida that can create havoc on your landscaping if you don’t prevent them. Landscape design and installation in Florida without fruits and vegetables is not a great idea to keep the creatures away. They can also eat leaves.

You should plan with the help of your landscape contractor. You can have fences or other barriers. You can also use organic pesticides to keep critters away. Sometimes, wildlife, such as bees, is good for pollinating your flowers.

Pura Vida Landscape makes no landscaping mistakes.

When you work alone, there are always chances of making mistakes. But, when you shake hands with professionals like Pura Vida Landscape, you are safe. We are a well-known landscape company in Florida that can change the entire look of your landscape without making any mistakes.
