Pavers varying styles and designs can match any custom landscape.

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!

Is Your Local Nursery Better Than a Big Box Store?

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!


Local nurseries offer a wider variety of softscape options.

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...

Retaining Wall Types: Design, Seating, or Structural

If you are considering a retaining wall for your property in Palmetto, Parrish, Bradenton, or the nearby areas of Florida, it may be for one of a few reasons. People often opt to install retaining walls for decorative purposes, to add extra seating around their outdoor spaces, or to prevent erosion on their property.

Learn more about the different types of retaining walls, the process behind installing them, and how long you can expect them to last.

A design, or decorative retaining wall, can be used for a few reasons, but the most popular reasons we often see are to create borders around someone's property or to build raised planter beds. Raised planter beds can add a new dimension to the overall design of your landscape, too. For a really interesting look, consider a terraced landscape bed with multiple retaining walls.

Typically, these walls are not too high. We can build them with interlocking wall blocks, pavers, or other options that present a myriad of color choices. Any of those options last for at least 50 years or more, making them a sound investment.

Most Popular Stone Patio Choices in Central Florida

Building a patio in central Florida comes with several choices, such as deciding to screen it in, how large to make it, if you should add a fire pit, or what materials to construct the patio with.

At Three Seasons, we have found that there are three most popular choices for stone patios in Palmetto, Bradenton, Parrish, and nearby cities in Florida. Learn more about these stones and decide which type might be the ideal one for your residential or commercial property.


1. Sandstone is beautiful and lasts for decades.

Sandstone is a type of flagstone, or natural stone, that we often use to build patios. If you have a pool area, then it is a great choice because the stone is very porous and can absorb a lot of water. This means there is less risk of slipping around the pool.

The stone also lasts for a lifetime with the proper cleaning and sealing practices in place. Sandstone comes in warm, earth tone colors such as beige, cream, orange, and light brown. This stone will be a bit costly, as it will be about $34-$43 per square foot for the materials cost. Since it does last for many years, though, it is a sound investment for any shape or size patio.
