Many homeowners, especially those in hot weather climates, are increasingly turning to alternatives to traditional grass and sod landscaping. Not only are some areas prone to drought, and watering lawns is considered a luxury at times of the year; but the usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has also caused concern. Not to mention, upkeep on Florida lawns can be constant, and mowing in 90 degree heat can become tiresome!
Whether to invite new clients or simply represent your business well, your commercial property landscaping should be unique and beautiful. A healthy, dynamic landscape design shows off your company’s personality and is compelling for prospective tenants. Refreshing, modern, and eye-catching landscaping choices are sure to impress those you are trying to attract to your property.

Maybe you’ve always driven by Big Earth but you’ve never stopped in. We’re here today at our Big Earth Palmetto location and we would like to show you around. So come on in.
Those of us who live in the Saraosta and Tampa area understand that for much of the year, we will be living under some pretty hot temperatures. We have made adjustments to our lifestyles to accommodate the climate. So while we all feel a little wilted in the middle of a Florida summer, your landscape need not suffer. Here are some hot weather tips for a beautiful yard.
Living in South Florida, seasons of drought are inevitable. While we can see it at any time of the year, drought is most prevalent during the winter months of December through March. While you may think that your grass needs constant watering during these times, you may be surprised to find out that most turf damage is actually caused by over-watering. Careful monitoring of your lawn and proper irrigation should allow your turf to weather the drought and return green and lush by spring.
Here is South Florida, we enjoy a year-round growing season. Although there may be a few weeks during which cold weather shows up, for the most part we can grow plants and trees all year long, maintaining a thriving property full of color and beauty. Unfortunately, the plants we love are not the only things which can survive throughout any season. Weeds can grow just as easily, and in the Sarasota and Tampa area there are plenty of native and invasive weeds to contend with. Here are five of the peskiest weeds that Floridian homeowners will face.
What many Sarasota or Tampa homeowners may not realize is that their lawn may also need to be aerated. Aeration is an important step to guarantee that essential nutrients and ample water can effectively reach the soil beneath your grass.
The green, dense turf produced by St. Augustine sod is well adapted to life in South Florida. It does well in our sandier soil, has a good salt tolerance, and even does well in both sun and shade. As one of the most common choices for Sarasota and Tampa area lawns, St. Augustine grass can be found all across the region.
