Our Construction & Commercial Landscaping Services in St. Augustine

We provide a full suite of commercial landscaping services designed to meet the unique needs of businesses and communities across Northeast Florida

Landscape Maintenance

Scheduled mowing, edging, trimming, hedge shaping, bed maintenance, and debris removal for commercial properties. St. Augustine’s Zone 9a-9b climate drives strong year-round growth, and the area’s sandy, fast-draining soils mean fertilization and irrigation programs must be calibrated carefully to maintain healthy, dense turf. Our maintenance programs are customized to each property’s specific landscape, traffic patterns, and aesthetic expectations.

Landscape Design & Installation

Custom commercial landscape design and installation for new developments, renovations, and enhancements. We select plants that are proven in St. Johns County’s coastal environment — species that handle the sandy soils, salt spray exposure on coastal properties, and the humidity-driven pest and disease pressure that is constant in Northeast Florida. Our designs balance aesthetic impact with long-term maintainability and water efficiency.

Arbor & Tree Care

Professional tree trimming, pruning, canopy management, and removal by certified arborists. St. Augustine is known for its mature live oak canopy — the iconic trees that line streets and shade commercial properties throughout the city. These trees require skilled care to preserve their health and beauty while managing growth that encroaches on buildings, signage, and walkways. Our arborists also handle palm trimming, deadwood removal, storm damage assessment, and hazard tree evaluation.

Irrigation Systems

Design, installation, repair, and management of commercial irrigation systems. Central Florida’s sandy soils drain rapidly, making efficient irrigation essential for healthy turf and plant material. We install and maintain smart controllers, rain sensors, and low-volume zones to maximize water efficiency and comply with current water management district restrictions. With drought conditions affecting the region, proper irrigation management is more important than ever.

Hardscapes

Commercial hardscape design and installation including walkways, patios, retaining walls, decorative pavers, seating areas, and outdoor gathering spaces. Hardscaping adds structure, function, and curb appeal to commercial properties while reducing maintenance areas. In St. Augustine’s historic and tourism-oriented market, well-designed hardscaping enhances the character of a property and creates inviting outdoor spaces for visitors, tenants, and customers.

St. Johns County’s Land Development Code requires all new commercial development to follow Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles, with at least 50% native species and low-volume irrigation on at least 50% of irrigated landscape areas. Our hardscape and landscape designs are built to meet these standards from day one.

Sod Installation

Professional sod installation for commercial properties, new developments, and re-sodding projects. St. Augustine grass (Floratam, Palmetto, CitraBlue varieties) is the dominant choice in this market — Palmetto performs especially well under the shade of St. Augustine’s signature live oaks. Bermuda and Zoysia are available for high-traffic applications, and Bahia provides budget-friendly coverage for large commercial parcels.

Outdoor Lighting

Commercial landscape lighting for safety, security, and aesthetics. Illuminate walkways, parking areas, building facades, signage, and landscape features. For hospitality properties and retail centers in St. Augustine’s tourism-driven market, landscape lighting extends the property’s appeal into the evening hours and enhances the visitor experience.

FAQs

Commercial landscaping includes scheduled lawn maintenance (mowing, edging, blowing), landscape bed care (pruning, weeding, mulching), irrigation system management and repair, fertilization and pest control, tree and shrub trimming, sod installation, hardscape construction, landscape lighting, seasonal color installations, and landscape design for new or renovation projects. We build customized service packages based on your property’s specific size, plant material, aesthetic standards, and budget.

St. Augustine’s mature live oaks are among the most valuable landscape assets in the city — and they require skilled care. A certified arborist understands proper pruning techniques that preserve tree health and structural integrity, can diagnose diseases and pest infestations before they cause irreversible damage, and knows how to manage root systems that conflict with buildings or hardscaping. For commercial properties, an arborist also provides hazard assessments that help protect against liability from falling limbs or unstable trees, particularly ahead of hurricane season.

In St. Augustine, most commercial properties require weekly maintenance during the active growing season (April through October) and bi-weekly service during the cooler months (November through March). Full-service commercial properties typically receive 42 to 52 visits per year. Hospitality properties and those in high-traffic tourism areas often maintain weekly service year-round. Your maintenance schedule is determined by property type, landscape complexity, and the level of appearance expected by tenants, guests, or residents.

St. Augustine’s Zone 9a-9b climate supports a strong range of plants for commercial landscapes. Live oaks are iconic to the area and provide excellent shade canopy. Sabal palms, Southern magnolias, crape myrtles, and dahoon holly are reliable canopy trees. For hedges and foundation plantings, podocarpus, Walter’s viburnum, Simpson’s stopper, wax myrtle, and firebush are proven performers. Muhly grass, coontie, lantana, pentas, and society garlic add color and texture. Coastal properties should prioritize salt-tolerant species — sabal palms, muhly grass, and cocoplum handle salt spray exposure well.

Hardscaping refers to the non-plant elements of a landscape — walkways, patios, retaining walls, decorative pavers, seating walls, and outdoor gathering spaces. For commercial properties, hardscaping defines pedestrian flow, creates functional outdoor areas, improves ADA accessibility, and reduces the amount of turf and plantings that need ongoing maintenance. In St. Augustine’s market, well-designed hardscaping also enhances property character, especially for properties in or near the historic district where aesthetics are closely tied to the city’s visual identity. St. Johns County requires new commercial landscapes to follow Florida-Friendly principles, and hardscaping that reduces irrigated landscape area helps meet those standards.

Commercial landscaping costs vary based on property size, service scope, and maintenance frequency. Full-service monthly maintenance for mid-sized commercial properties (one to five acres) in St. Augustine typically ranges from $2,500 to $5,000 per month. Basic mowing-only service for larger parcels runs approximately $25 to $60 per acre. Hospitality and tourism-area properties with elevated aesthetic requirements may fall at the higher end of these ranges or above. We provide free property assessments and customized proposals — call our St. Augustine office at (904)-829-9255 to schedule.
