If I had oak trees, especially close to the house, I would try to have them cut down, and replaced by palm trees. There’s no shortage of oak trees, and the world will not miss an oak tree. The oak trees also rot from the inside out. So the oak trees could be weak if too much of the inside is rotted. I’d want palm trees because this is Florida, not a snow belt state!
Some people also avoid plants that deer like to eat. If you have trouble with the deer attacking your plants, there’s a solution that I tried and found works. There’s a product called “Deer Scram!” that actually works! You apply the granular product on the ground near the plants you want to protect. The deer hate the smell of the “Deer Scram!” and avoid the area. After the granular product is sprinkled on the ground, humans can’t smell it. You have to reapply the product about every two weeks. It’s sold on Amazon in 5 gallon buckets for about $75. It comes in much smaller sizes, if you want to test the product on your garden. A 5 gallon bucket of “Deer Scram” will probably last for several months. After about a month using the “Deer Scram!” product, the groups of many deer still avoid our property, and eat the neighbors plants instead of our plants.
