    Ah, Miami. A place where the sun seems to be on a permanent vacation and the palm trees gossip fervently with the ocean breeze. Here, landscaping isn’t just plunking down a plant or two. Miami Landscaping is like painting an enormous canvas while Mother Nature whispers, “Go ahead, be fabulous!” Read more now on Landscaping Miami

    Let’s do a little time travel, shall we? Imagine Miami in 1950s with its pastels, flamingos and lush green lawns. In a few decades, everyone wants to own a piece of this Caribbean-infused heaven. It’s not just about mowing the lawn and singing Dixie to create these edible-looking spaces.

    Consider Mrs. Alvarez, who lives down on Biscayne Boulevard. She’s one minute tripping through a garden centre, and the next she is knee-deep in some kind of botanical hogwash. She wanted that garden to sing–literally and metaphorically. But how does one coax melodies from a bed of marigolds? It turns out that tropical climates are not always conducive to your dreamscape fantasies, even though they’re delightful.

    Let’s talk grass. Ever tried serenading a St. Augustine lawn into submission? It’s not for the weak-hearted. You water it one second, and the next second it looks like it’s starring in a desert film. And goodness gracious, why does everyone want no-maintenance? It’s like expecting a dog to potty train itself.

    Ophelia Jacobs, from Coral Gables, is another person who swears by moonlight gardening. Said it gave her zinnias pizzazz. Her cat, however, thought the glow-in-the-dark mulch was a litter box facsimile. Folks, it’s a crazy world.

    Local flora has its own quirks. Pirate vines grow with abandon, probably plotting a topiary takeover. Want native? Dig deep, my friend. Miami natives may not always be dressed in flashy clothes, but they are full of spirit!

    Let’s throw a curveball and talk about poolside plants. Have you ever heard of Guacamole Gardens? My friend Tito made me plant an avocado tree. Okay, these trees are avocados and by proximity, guacamole–but only if you throw in some onions and lime.

    Miami landscaping is a riot of colors, shapes, and smells that compete for your attention. It’s where function tangoes with whimsy, and every turn in the garden path may just surprise you.
