Landscaping & Landscape Design

Curb appeal that survives August and doesn't fight your irrigation.

Plant selection in South Florida is a durability decision as much as an aesthetic one. We design planting plans around sun exposure, salt, drainage, and mature size, then install with proper soil prep, edging, and irrigation coverage.

How we approach it

Plants that thrive, not just survive

Landscaping in South Florida is a balance between creating a lush aesthetic and choosing plants that can handle the extreme heat and salt air. A beautiful garden that dies in August is not a success.

We approach landscape design from a horticultural perspective. We analyze your soil, your shade patterns, and your irrigation coverage before we ever suggest a plant. We prioritize native and Florida-friendly species that require less water and fertilizer to stay healthy.

Our designs focus on 'curb appeal' that lasts. We use layering and texture to create privacy and interest, all while ensuring that the roots won't interfere with your foundation or your plumbing in the years to come.

Example project

Creating a low-maintenance native oasis

Plantation, FL1 week

The challenge
A homeowner was tired of spending $400 a month on water and maintenance for a yard that still looked unhealthy.
What we did
We replaced the water-hungry grass with a mix of native silver saw palmetto, firebush, and decorative gravel paths.
The result
Their water bill dropped by 60 percent, the yard looks lush year round without heavy fertilizer, and the local butterfly population has flourished.

Illustrative example based on typical jobs of this type.

Client feedback

Referred, again and again

“They gutted and rebuilt two bathrooms and our kitchen while we lived in the house. Every day the site was clean, every question got answered the same day, and the final number matched the estimate.”
Daniel R. · Fort Lauderdale, FL · Kitchen + 2 bathroom remodel
“We had water damage behind a wall that two other contractors misdiagnosed. 12X found it in an hour, handled the drying, rebuilt the drywall, and dealt with the insurance paperwork.”
Melissa T. · Hollywood, FL · Water-damage restoration
“Pavers, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, and turf, done in five weeks and permitted properly. Our backyard is the reason we stopped talking about moving.”
Andre & Sofia P. · Coral Springs, FL · Full backyard renovation
“We turn over rental units on tight deadlines. They have never once missed a make-ready date, and their punch lists are cleaner than anyone we've used.”
Property manager · Miami, FL · Property turnover program
