1955 Ranch Front Yard
Removed a forty-foot ligustrum hedge, restored a clean lawn shape, added a layered foundation bed.
Northeast Florida
Lisa knows San Marco.
San Marco is a designer's dream. Mid-century homes with good bones, mature canopies, and front yards that have been waiting decades for someone to take them seriously.
The character here rewards a quieter hand. We design around what's already working: the live oaks, the wrought-iron details, the brick walks that should be repaired, not replaced. Structural foundation plantings, a sculpted lawn shape, a perennial bed that picks up the door color. Restraint, then color where the eye lands.
Serving 32207 and the San Marco Square, Balis Park, the Cummer area area.
Plant Palette
What thrives here.
Loropetalum (Compact)
Burgundy foliage tunes against red brick beautifully.
Native Azalea
Spring flush under San Marco's mature oak canopy.
Lenten Rose
Winter interest in deep shade where nothing else flowers.
Cast Iron Plant
Old-Florida shade workhorse. Looks intentional, asks nothing.
