Our Services in Lake County
Landscaping on the Lake Wales Ridge
Lake County sits on the northern end of the Lake Wales Ridge, an ancient sand dune that runs down the middle of Florida. The soil is deep, fast-draining sand with very few nutrients, and the terrain around Clermont and Minneola is the hilliest in the state. Lawns dry out at the tops of slopes, beds wash out on the sides, and fertilizer leaches away quickly. We design for it: drought-tolerant and Florida-Friendly plants, irrigation zoned by elevation, erosion-control plantings and slow-release fertilizer programs.
Watering Days in Lake County
Lake County is in the St. Johns River Water Management District. Under the 2026 Phase III water shortage order, odd-numbered addresses may irrigate on Saturday, even-numbered addresses on Sunday, non-residential properties on Tuesday, and never between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. New sod and plantings have a temporary establishment allowance. We set every controller we install or service to the current schedule.
Lake County Fertilizer Ordinance
Unincorporated Lake County bans nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer on lawns and beds from June 1 through September 30, requires at least 50% slow-release nitrogen the rest of the year, and prohibits fertilizing within 15 feet of a lake or canal. Our lawn care programs follow it.
HOA Communities
From Kings Ridge and Legends in Clermont to Trilogy in Groveland and Del Webb in Minneola, most Lake County neighborhoods require architectural-review approval for landscape changes. We prepare the drawings and plant lists.
Common Questions
How much does landscaping cost in Central Florida?
Most full-yard landscaping in the Clermont area runs $2 to $15 per square foot depending on how much is plants and mulch versus pavers, irrigation and structures. A typical 500 sq ft front-yard refresh in the Orlando market is roughly $2,300–$6,000; a complete new-construction package with sod, irrigation, trees and beds is more. We give free, itemized estimates so you can phase the work.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Clermont and serve all of south Lake County every week: Clermont, Minneola, Groveland, Montverde, Mascotte and Howey-in-the-Hills. We also work in west Orange County (Winter Garden, Horizon West, Ocoee, Windermere, Apopka), the Four Corners and Davenport area of Polk County, and take larger projects across Lake, Orange, Polk, Osceola, Seminole, Marion and Sumter counties. See our service areas.
Does a landscaper need a license in Florida?
Florida does not issue a statewide landscape contractor license; landscape installation and lawn maintenance require local business tax receipts and insurance. Applying fertilizer for hire requires the state Limited Urban Fertilizer certification, and applying any pesticide (including weed-and-feed) requires a Florida Department of Agriculture license. Highland Grove is licensed, bonded and insured and holds the certifications its crews need.
Do you help with HOA approval for landscaping changes?
Yes. Most communities in Clermont, Minneola, Groveland, Winter Garden and Horizon West require architectural-review (ARC) approval before changing a front yard, adding pavers or building a pergola. We prepare the plan drawing, plant list and material specs the committee asks for and use plants from the community's approved palette.
