Mount Dora is 25 minutes north of our Clermont nursery along US-441 and the Wekiva Parkway. Its hills, old oak canopy and lakefront give it some of the most distinctive yards in Lake County, and we serve everything from the historic downtown cottages to the Country Club of Mount Dora, Lakes of Mount Dora, Stoneybrook Hills and Loch Leven.
Everything below is available to Mount Dora homeowners, businesses and community associations, installed by our own crew.
Mount Dora's established neighborhoods sit under mature live oaks. Floratam St. Augustine thins out in that shade, so we replace it with shade-tolerant varieties or convert deep-shade areas to ground covers, ferns and mulch beds that look intentional instead of bare. Irrigation heads get moved out of root zones and converted to drip in the beds.
The town's slopes need terracing and erosion-control plantings; lakefront lots on Lake Dora and Lake Gertrude need plants that handle wind and the 15-foot fertilizer buffer required by the Lake County ordinance.
Country Club of Mount Dora, Lakes of Mount Dora and Stoneybrook Hills all have architectural review. We design low-maintenance, HOA-compliant yards with drip irrigation and smart controllers and prepare the submittals.
Mount Dora follows the St. Johns River Water Management District schedule: under the 2026 shortage order, odd-numbered addresses water Saturday, even-numbered addresses Sunday, no irrigation 8 a.m.–6 p.m.

We couldn’t be happier with the work Highland Grove did on our landscaping! They completely transformed our property, and the difference is incredible. Everything looks beautiful, clean, polished, and so well thought out. The attention to detail really stood out. They took what we had and turned it into something we’re genuinely proud of. The entire area looks refreshed and put together, and it has made such a huge…

I could not be happier. Their design ideas are exceptional, they transformed my back yard into a beautiful place to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. They spent time helping me decide on the perfect plants. It’s like our own little paradise.

Floratam St. Augustine needs 6+ hours of sun and thins under Mount Dora's oak canopy. We use shade-tolerant St. Augustine varieties such as Seville, Bitter Blue or Palmetto, or convert deep shade to ground covers and mulch beds.
Yes. Both have architectural review, and we prepare the submittals and design low-maintenance, HOA-compliant yards for them.
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.
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.
