How fast can you design my landscape?

Our design process typically takes 3-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your project.

Can you also build my landscape?

Absolutely! We offer a complete design and build service, taking your project from concept to completion.

Will I get 2D or 3D renderings?

Our standard design package includes 2D renderings that clearly show the layout and plant selections. For an additional fee, we can discuss the option of creating 3D renderings. Usually, 2D designs are enough for most homeowners to get a clear idea of how their landscape will look like.

How much does landscape design cost?

Our landscape design cost is a one-time fee of $225. If you decide to proceed with us for the build, this fee will be included in the cost of your project, so you don’t have to worry about paying for it upfront.

How many revisions can I make?

We want you to be thrilled with your final design. To ensure we capture your vision perfectly, we typically allow for 2-3 revisions.

Do you sell the design alone?

While we primarily offer design and build services, we can discuss the possibility of selling the design alone on a case-by-case basis.

Landscaping in Alaqua Lakes, FL

Your yard is one of the first things people see, and in a community like Alaqua Lakes, it ought to match the neighborhood it's in.

What Makes Site Pros Landscaping the Right Fit for Alaqua Lakes, FL

Alaqua Lakes is a genuinely beautiful place to live, and the homes here tend to reflect that. The manicured streets, the canopy of native oaks, the proximity to the Wekiva River Preserve – all of it sets a standard.

So when your yard doesn’t quite keep up, it stands out in ways you don’t want.

Florida landscaping has its own rules. Whether it’s the heat, rain cycles, sandy soil, or drainage issues that creep up on a slope. These things require a team that knows this state intimately.

We’ve been doing landscape design and build work in Central Florida for over six years now, and we’re family-owned, which means you’re talking to the people doing the work, not a dispatcher.

We bring 2D and 3D design renderings to every project so you can see exactly what you’re getting before a single shovel hits the ground. And if something isn’t quite right, we’ll revise it, up to three times, at no extra charge.

Site Pros installed landscaping for me at a home I just renovated. Good communication, knowledgeable, and did what they said they were going to do when they said they’d do it.

How Much Does Landscaping Cost in Alaqua Lakes, FL?

Our landscape design fee is a one-time flat cost of $225. If you decide to move forward with us for the build, that fee is included in your total project cost, so there’s no separate upfront charge.

Every yard is different, though. Your project’s total cost will depend on its specific details.

Reach out and tell us what you’re thinking, and we’ll put together a quote that reflects your actual yard and goals.

Five things that tend to shape what a landscaping project costs:

Property Size and Scope: A small front yard refresh and a full backyard transformation are two very different animals. Larger properties require more material, labor, and time. We'll assess your space and goals before any numbers are on the table.
Materials Chosen: Mulch, rocks, pavers, plants, the choices you make here move the price in both directions. Natural stone walkways cost more than poured concrete. Native Florida plants tend to be easier on the budget, and they do better in this climate anyway.
Hardscape Features: Patios, retaining walls, firepits, water features all add both beauty and real value to your property, but they're also labor-intensive. The more hardscape in the plan, the more the project will reflect that.
Drainage and Grading Needs: Alaqua Lakes gets real rain. If your yard has drainage issues, a slope that's sending water toward your foundation, or low spots that pool after a storm, addressing those correctly adds to the project. Skipping it usually costs more later.
Plant Selection and Landscaping Design Complexity: A simple, clean design with a handful of well-placed native plants is more affordable than a layered, multi-zone landscape with dozens of species.

Honest Timelines, Real Budgets, No Surprises

We know that handing a project like this over to someone requires a certain amount of trust, and we take that seriously every single time.

A landscaping project is one of those expenses that tends to feel big right up until you’re actually living with the result. Think about what it costs to redo a kitchen, and then consider that you’ll be out in this yard every single day. The investment tends to pay for itself quickly, both in how your property looks and in how much you want to be outside.

We plan our projects carefully, communicate clearly at every step, and respect that your home is your space. Our crew shows up when we say we will, works clean, and leaves the yard in better shape than we found it. We hit our deadlines almost every time, and on the rare occasion something shifts, you’ll hear it from us first.

Landscaping in Alaqua Lakes, FL: Common Questions, Answered

What types of landscaping services do you offer in Alaqua Lakes, FL?

We handle the full range: design and build, all in-house. That covers patios and walkways, firepits and fireplaces, ponds and water features, flower beds, privacy hedges, trees and shrubs, Florida-friendly greenery, retaining walls, and drainage solutions.

Do you use Florida-friendly plants?

Yes, and honestly, it’s one of the smarter choices you can make for a yard in Central Florida. Native and Florida-friendly plants are adapted to the heat, rainfall cycles, and soil here. They require less water, hold up better during dry stretches, and tend to look healthier in the long term. We’ll work them into your design naturally so they feel intentional.

How long does a landscaping project typically take?

It depends on the scope, but most residential projects in the Alaqua Lakes area run anywhere from a few days for smaller installs to a few weeks for full landscape builds with hardscape features. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before we start and keep you updated throughout.

Can I make changes to the design before construction starts?

Absolutely. We include up to three complimentary revisions on every design, so if something doesn’t feel right after you see the rendering, we’ll adjust it. Getting the plan right before we build is a lot easier for everyone than making changes after the fact.
