From Clutter to Color: Sawgrass Low Maintenance Landscape Transformation
This is the story of the Wernberg residence in Sawgrass, where we transformed a cluttered jungle into a low-maintenance oasis of beauty. Imagine a vibrant tapestry of color bursting from your front yard, but with minimal effort needed to keep it blooming.
Simplifying the Scene:
The Wernbergs’ landscape was a classic case of good intentions gone wild. Hedges sprawled, palms towered, and a maze of plants vied for attention. We started by editing the chaos, shrinking overgrown beds and introducing crisp lines. This meant less pruning, trimming, and weeding, freeing up precious time and energy.
Blooming with Less:
Drift roses, notorious for their high maintenance, were replaced with vibrant dwarf bottle brushes. These hummingbird-attracting beauties offer similar color with far less fuss. We also strategically added European fan palms and foxtail grasses, injecting texture and movement without demanding constant attention.
Azalea Alchemy:
Did you know azaleas hold a secret? Each half-inch of their stem holds a bud, waiting to burst into life! We used this knowledge to significantly trim the azaleas, rejuvenating them and making them manageable. This simple trick ensures the Wernbergs can enjoy their vibrant blooms without the heavy lifting.
