Thanks!
The first thing some new home buyers do is to hire a landscaper to tear out all of the landscaping that comes with the house. I think it wise to wait about 18 months to see how it grows and fills in. The landscaping that the developer has chosen is not inferior in any way. It is chosen to grow well in the conditions here. The only thing I would suggest is to have any Live Oak tree removed before it gets to a certain size and protected. They to me are hazardous planted close to homes and with the strong winds we sometimes get. I am also NOT a fan of most Palm Trees. They attract Palm rats. Just my opinion.

I have had neighbors who have spent thousands to have landscaping put in and thousands to have it removed.
