Do not buy into getting your landscape done right away. Almost all of the landscapers that go into the new sections of The Villages are selling "wow effect" plants that may be diseased or stressed. Go with landscapers that are established. Take the time to drive around in the older sections of The Villages and take a look at how mature plants grow before planting. Those beautiful ornamental grasses look great, but keep them at a distance. They can attract rodents and snakes. A lot of the palm trees are not really suited for this area, and they can be very messy and require a lot of care. Drive around outside of The Villages too! Take photos of what appeals to you!
