Landscape design & installation
For over 30 years Greenscapes has increased the beauty and value of Manasota homes and businesses — from modest properties to grand estates — by designing and installing beautiful landscapes.
Outdoor spaces designed to be lived in — and to last
Greenscapes designs and installs outdoor spaces which:
- make the first impression you want to project
- augment the architecture of your house or the function of your building
- take into account the realities of your space and the living materials that will thrive
- appreciate over time, growing in beauty and timelessness
Few jobs are too large or too small for us. We can simply provide your yard with some seasonal color, or we can design and create a statement garden for you.
The full package
A perfect landscape needs four components working in harmony
The Hardscape
Installing paths, walls, terraces, patios, steps and boulders to shape your outdoor space and direct people in and around the landscape.
The Irrigation
Choosing low flow (drip line, microspray), high flow (fixed spray, rotor) or a combination, then designing a system that maximizes cover and minimizes water wastage.
The Lighting
Planning path, accent and function lighting so you can enjoy the space after dusk — hidden or statement lighting, to suit the character of your garden.

2D plans and 3D interactive tours
We create and print 2D designs for you to sign off, which you can also use to seek any needed authority approval or grants. For larger jobs we can craft 3D interactive videos: a 360° tour that lets you walk through the design around your own building and modify it as you wish.
Your best home improvement investment
Landscaping that pays for itself
By spending 5% of the value of your home on the installation of a quality low maintenance landscape, you could boost the resale value by 15%, earning back 150% or more of your landscape investment.
Homes with landscaping ranked poor relative to neighboring homes with excellent landscapes could expect a sale price 8 to 10 percent below equivalent homes with good landscape appeal.
The ‘Designed to Sell’ package
Beautifully presented outside spaces can close a house sale. If you are planning to sell and want to realize your best price, ask us about Designed to Sell. As part of the package we will:
- advise you how to optimize your budget to stage your landscape
- spruce up your garden so that it presents as flawless and easy to maintain
- install color themed plants in full bloom
- rent you garden furniture and outside décor to enhance the presentation
- provide photos, scale drawings and written information for your marketing materials
- maintain the garden before open houses and viewings

Design and installation testimonials
My husband and I contacted Greenscapes after we bought our new home which had a less than stellar looking garden. The Installation Manager listened carefully and shortly afterward presented us with a detailed plan. I had lots of questions and he addressed them all patiently. I just recently got back to Florida and saw the finished work. It is stunning! The curb appeal of my house has improved dramatically. I wholeheartedly recommend Greenscapes for any landscape gardening project.
Thank you Greenscapes. Our garden looks really beautiful! I asked a few contractors to give me a proposal. I liked Greenscapes’ approach the best. Their Installation Manager sat down with us, asked questions, listened, gave his ideas and even showed us pictures. Greenscapes gave us a fully costed plan, which stayed within our budget. The workmen, like the manager, arrived on time. They worked cleanly, quickly and courteously. They were great!
Greenscapes did a wonderful job upgrading our front yard landscaping. Their installations manager was very responsive and had wonderful ideas, the work was well done and quickly expedited, and the plants are thriving. We were provided with a major upgrade to our curb appeal at very reasonable prices. I would be happy to recommend Greenscapes.
I wanted a lush, tropical look for my front garden and so I asked Greenscapes to completely redesign and re-landscape it. Greenscapes made the whole process easy. As much of my garden is under oak trees they were careful to choose plants which had the look I wanted yet could flourish in the shade. I was kept apprised of progress every step of the way through emails and telephone calls. I love the results.
The previous owner had not maintained the landscape for several years, and it was looking fairly rough. We contacted three landscaping companies and finally settled on Greenscapes. He made suggestions, all of which made good sense, then coordinated with the homeowners association to obtain approval for the plan. Because this is our second home, Greenscapes was careful to pick plants which did not need a lot of water. I am very pleased with the job Greenscapes did.
My husband and I have always recommended Greenscapes, so when we bought a house where the garden was pretty beat up, naturally we asked them to sort it out for us. The workers who cleared the ground and did the replanting worked hard and fast. They were always polite, friendly and unobtrusive. We are really pleased with the result. I will continue to recommend Greenscapes; you represent excellent value for money.
Greenscapes did a one-time full yard cleanup that included trimming of shrubs, pruning of date palms and bougainvillea, edging, weeding, lawn mowing, and removal of debris. I called on October 14 and got an appointment for an estimate for Tuesday. By Tuesday evening they had already sent me written estimates. On Thursday, the crew started the work. The yard looked amazing for my event, and everyone kept complimenting us on how beautiful the outside looked.
