Santi Landscape Design
Modern Florida home with palm canopy, lawn, and clean patio edges

Private residences

Outdoor rooms with quiet finish

The same discipline we bring to managed grounds, scaled to a private lot: privacy, plant health, and details that feel settled rather than showy.

The fit

Not every lawn. The ones that should last.

Barrier-island wind, sandy soil, and hard sun decide what belongs here. We plant and maintain for that, then keep coming back so the work does not unravel after the first season.

Manicured coastal Florida estate grounds with palms, lawn, and waterfront

For homeowners

A yard you do not have to manage

  • One crew, one rhythm, no rotating day laborers
  • Planting that frames the house without asking for constant replacement
  • Access and privacy respected like a private interior

For caretakers & family offices

A property that stays ready

  • Irrigation and lighting treated as systems, not afterthoughts
  • A named lead who can meet a house manager on site
  • Care that holds while the family is away

Why homes stall

Pretty day one is not the job

Private lots fail when the planting cannot take Florida, the mow crew ignores the beds, and nobody owns water or light.

  1. 01

    The install looked finished. Then August arrived.

    A pretty planting day is not a landscape. We specify for salt and sun, and we stay on the property after the trucks leave.

  2. 02

    The mow crew never sees the beds

    Edges, irrigation misses, and tired hedges are where a home starts to look neglected. Weekly presence has to include them.

  3. 03

    Lighting and water were someone else's problem

    Guesswork coverage burns plants and leaves the house dark. We audit, repair, and tune before we talk about more flowers.

  4. 04

    Nobody planned for the storm window

    Coastal lots need a prep pass and a cleanup pass. That belongs in the year, not in a panic text.

What we tend

The lot, room by room

Courtyards, beds, water, light, and terrace edges, specified for this coast and kept after install day.

Private courtyard with hibiscus, bird of paradise, and sabal palms

Courtyards

Layered planting that gives privacy and shade without turning the house into a jungle.

Hibiscus and croton planting at a high-visibility edge

Beds that belong

Color and structure chosen for this coast, not a catalog that fades in three months.

Tropical shrub beds with irrigation woven through the planting

Water & evening light

Coverage and glow tuned to the lot, so plantings live and the house reads at dusk.

Pool terrace with palm planters and maintained planting edges

Pool & terrace edges

Deck planting and lawn that stay clean under daily use, without looking overworked.

How we work a home

Built for a private lot

Specify for the island

Wind, sand, and salt are the brief. Pretty that dies in August is a failed spec.

Install is not the end

If we plant it, we will tell you what it takes to keep it. We prefer work we can still stand in a year.

Quiet on the lot

Crews come with a window, not a surprise. Neighbors and house staff should barely notice the day.

Honest if it is not a fit

A small roster only works if we decline work we cannot do well. The application exists for that.

Rhythm

A year the house can ignore

Weekly tending, a monthly systems look, seasonal refresh, and a storm plan, so you are not managing a vendor.

  1. Weekly

    The lot stays tended

    Mow, edge, and bed pass so the house never looks like it missed a week.

  2. Monthly

    Systems get a look

    Irrigation walk, hedge lines, and a note if something is failing before it is obvious from the street.

  3. Seasonal

    Refresh, don't reset

    Color, mulch, and palms turned with the year, not ripped out because the first palette was wrong.

  4. Storm

    Prep and return

    Tie-down and prune before the window, then a cleanup that puts the lot back in public view.

Process

Apply first. Walk second.

We review the lot before we put a crew on the calendar. That is how a small roster stays small.

  1. 01

    Apply

    Address, lot, and what you want changed. A few sentences beat a mood board.

  2. 02

    We review

    Area, access, and whether the work matches how we actually operate. You hear back either way.

  3. 03

    Walk the lot

    If it is a fit, we walk with you or your caretaker and talk planting, water, and care, before a number.

  4. 04

    Start small or start the year

    Some homes need a renovation first. Some need a quiet weekly rhythm. We will say which.

Fit

What we look for

We are not a volume mow shop. Applications that tend to move forward share a few things.

  • A Treasure Coast or Vero Beach address we can route crews to
  • A lot that needs planting, systems, or ongoing care, not a single mow
  • Someone on site, or a caretaker, for the first walk
  • Willingness to maintain what we install
  • Access notes: gates, dogs, HOA rules, waterfront constraints
  • A timeline that is real, even if it is 'this season'

FAQ

Before you apply

Do you take every private home that applies?

No. Commercial contracts are the core of the company. We keep a small residential roster so the homes we do take get the same crew discipline as a managed property. The form is an application, not an automatic yes.

What kinds of residences are a fit?

Coastal and estate properties in Vero Beach and along the Treasure Coast: barrier-island lots, waterfront lawns, courtyards, and homes that need planting, irrigation, lighting, and ongoing care, not a one-day mow.

Can you design and install, or only maintain?

Both, when the property is a fit. We will say if the first move should be a renovation, a systems fix, or a quiet maintenance rhythm. We will not sell an install we cannot care for afterward.

How soon will you respond?

We review applications in the order they arrive and follow up by email or phone. If the property is outside our area or needs a different kind of vendor, we will say so rather than leave you waiting.

Do I need to be home for a walk?

Usually yes for the first visit, or a caretaker who can speak to irrigation, access, and what you want left alone. We will not wander a private lot without a clear arrangement.

Is this the same as requesting a commercial proposal?

No. HOA and resort work goes through the proposal desk. Private homes use this application so we can see address, lot, and intent before we commit a walk.

Application

Ask us to take the lot

Tell us the address, the setting, and what is failing. We review every application and follow up with a walk, or with an honest no.

Commercial proposals still go through the proposal desk. This form is for private residences only.
