"Excellent customer service and very good follow up which I appreciated. We had landscape cleanup completed and cleaning of 40+ palm trees in the yard. The team did a great job and took pride in their work. I plan to have them return to assist further in the near future."

"Lush Landscapes of Southwest Florida, led by Ryan, did an absolutely incredible job restoring our backyard. After our pool construction left the yard in complete shambles for months?with nothing but dirt and weeds to look at?Ryan stepped in and transformed everything. He handled our irrigation, filled and leveled the entire yard, and installed a beautiful new landscape that truly brought my vision to life. His attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond exceeded every expectation we had. I highly recommend Ryan and Lush Landscapes of Southwest Florida for any landscaping project. You won?t regret trusting them with your home."

"We had added a fountain to the front yard landscape and hired Kyle to re-landscape the entire plant bed across the entire front of the house to tie in the fountain. He did an excellent job after giving us a few choices of different plants we went with his suggestions. We have the nicest looking front yard on the street now."

"Charles and his crew were excellent to work with from start to finish. Charles listened to our wants and made our dream yard for us. He updated daily of their accomplishments and we knew what to expect each day moving forward. He worked on our project as it was his own, with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Backyard Birdies!!!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

As long as you’re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading? As long as you’re hiring a hardscaping pro to lay the foundation for a greenhouse, you could tackle those other projects to give your whole yard a glow-up at the same time.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.
