I’ve also been going on golf cart rides to more established villa neighborhoods to get ideas. I’m going to start get estimates, and want to do something tasteful (not going over-board), but still want to make a statement with my landscaping. Looking at some brick work as well. I like the Robellini palms, but that seems to be very common to plant. I have a front yard to landscape, and also the entire side of my home, as I have a corner lot. I want to ditch the Magnolia that came with the house - not sure to replace with another a tree, a palm , or just have no tree in front yard. I know my landscaper will help me with all these questions. I’m thinking of budget of $10,000 for landscaping. Does this seem in the ballpark cost wise? Curious how much others have spent on landscaping when purchasing a brand new home?

We have had a really great experience with S & J Landscaping (352-874-4775). The reason we chose them is he has his own nursery, so you can visit and decide which plants and trees you would like to have. Also, he will replace any plants that have failed in 6 months and trees are guaranteed for a year. He gave us a quote and did not expect payment until after he was done, and surprising came under what he originally gave us. All of his plants are so healthy, if fact three have grown so much we had him come back and replace them with smaller ones and he did so at no charge. Honest and very reliable.
