Default Looking for a Gardner Recommendations

Not looking for someone to mow my lawn I have someone for that but that is all he does and not one thing more. Native California girl here still getting used to my new Florida landscape My neat rear yard has suddenly been taken over by vines, exotic bushes things that look like weeds that are probably flowers..we were gone for 4 weeks and I was shocked by the transformation into semi-wild jungle atmosphere upon my return. I don’t know what belongs here and what doesn’t . I need someone who can bring my yard into some semblance of order again someone that can pull out what shouldn’t be there trim what should be there maybe plant some flowers that are native to this area.. and make it pretty. I don’t need a major landscaping overhaul , just some help who might this be ? Recommendations greatly appreciated.

I’d recommend Moon Valley Nurseries, Fairfield Farms and Terrascapes.

If you ever want to know what a plant is, take a photo of it with a smart phone….then view that photo in your collections and “Swipe up”. From there you will notice “plant look up”. Just tap on that and it will give you some details. In this example, it’s a “TI” plant.

It’s pretty accurate. The downside is that it will mostly give you the general “Family Name/Info” vs the varietal that you are trying to find.
