Sustainable Planting with Native Species
Using native plant communities delivers a resilient, low‑input landscape that performs well in Indian River's coastal environment, beach soils, and heat. You choose function first: secure dunes with sea oats, create privacy with Simpson's stopper, and accent entries with coontie or dwarf yaupon holly. Florida natives provide structure while reducing fertilizer and pruning requirements.
Boost habitat quality with layered pollinator gardens - milkweed, blanketflower, and sunshine mimosa for nectar and larval resources; hamelia and lonicera for seasonal continuity. Appropriate species selection is crucial: match salt tolerance, soil pH, mature spread, and wind exposure. Use plant communities, not individual plants, to establish harmonious multi-level plantings. Specify locally grown, verified specimens to maintain local biodiversity and ensure successful establishment. Mulch with pine straw or crushed shell for durability and clean lines.
Efficient Irrigation Solutions
You can optimize irrigation by incorporating smart controllers and soil-moisture sensors that modify irrigation timing in real time.
