Custom driveways are the ultimate curb appeal. With so many varieties of building materials to choose from, boring and giant concrete slabs are a thing of the past. Driveways can now be designed and styled to match seamlessly with the rest of your architecture and landscape layout.
Installing a custom driveway with high-quality pavers or stones creates a hardscape element that never goes unnoticed, but picking the right building material requires a bit of research. Comparing and contrasting different materials like concrete pavers, cobblestone, and flagstone makes the decision-making process much quicker so you can have a new driveway for your property in Palmetto, Parrish, and Bradenton sooner rather than later!
Cobblestones have been used for centuries (yes, centuries) for different architectural design projects. Its beauty and long-lasting durability have stood the test of time and continue to be a viable option for custom driveways and other hardscaping projects.
The way cobblestone is cut and prepared allows for an almost unlimited range of design...
Palmetto, FL is unique in that most of our plants will survive the winter months. That means that unlike most places in the country, we don’t have to go all winter without seeing some bright color in our landscapes.
Winter is a time of dormancy for many plants, but there are still some colorful winter annuals that thrive in Parrish, FL and nearby areas. When trying to find plants that will add a pop of color in this dormant period, consider these five charming additions.
In any place north of Florida, geraniums are spring (or even summer) bloomers, they will not survive the cold winter weather. In central and south Florida, however, they thrive in our mild winters. They prefer cool temperatures in the evening and need at least 4-6 hours of sunlight a day.
These bright flowers come in a variety of bloom shapes, and they come in varying shades of pink, red, orange, purple, and white and average 1-2 feet in height. They will continue to bloom throughout the season if you remove the spent flowers, referred to as deadheading.
Violas are similar to pansies, but even more...

One of the best parts about creating a walkway design is choosing your building material. A beautiful walkway is one of the first hardscape elements a person will see when stepping up to your property, so it needs to make an impression!
Pavers and natural stones create visual interest and add tons of texture to your landscape layout. Before deciding on a certain style, it's important to understand the difference in style, price, and versatility of each material so you choose the best stone for the job!
The variety of paver styles offers unlimited design potential when creating and installing a walkway. They're easy to install and replace if damaged and are one of the most affordable material options. Pavers are also highly durable due to interlocking pieces.
Whether you're going for a natural look or something more formal and upscale, pavers can suit many different tastes and styles. Some pavers can even be made to imitate the look of other natural stones!
Pavers are weather and slip-resistant, making them an ideal choice for pool areas and front entrance walkways....
Knowing where to buy your plants is almost as important as knowing how to care for them after they're planted. Local nurseries and big box stores often carry the same popular species of plants, but how do they match up in terms of quality?
For many, the choice may come down to price, service, and convenience, but purchasing from our local nursery in Palmetto, FL has benefits that big box stores can't offer. See why buying from a local nursery is a better option for all your softscape needs versus going to a big box store!
Buying in bulk is a practice most big box stores follow, and it's the same when purchasing wholesale plants. Big box stores will often get a volume discount for buying several bulks of mass-produced plants. However, not all species of plants can be purchased in bulk, so it drastically limits the variety of softscape available for sale at big box stores. Local nurseries have the advantage of choosing their inventory and so will often carry more local or rarer species of plants.
The only downside some may find when buying from a local nursery is the price. Buying in bulk...
