We have decided at this point anyway to not have any added landscaping. We have several palm type bushes throughout the landscaping that "came with the house". Quite frankly, we think our landscaping is really beautiful.
We have decided this for two reasons, Our home, The Seabrook, looks like a thirties bungelow from the midwest and it looks nice with the not over the top tropical landscaping and the second is that friends, three couples in our new village who have lived in Florida for quite some time said , no palms with this new house, they are too hard to maintain.
For many, palm trees are part and parcel of living in Florida, part of their dream and something they have looked forward to. We are all different in many ways.
