Fort Myers Landscaping Trends

• Native plant landscaping: Saw palmetto, cocoplum, and firebush create drought-tolerant landscapes that support local wildlife.
• Smart water irrigation: Upgrade to app-controlled sprinklers and drip lines to stay within Fort Myers’ year-round watering rules while keeping your lawn green.
• Outdoor living spaces: Add a shaded pergola, an outdoor kitchen, and a paver patio that lets you relax outside all year.
• Permeable pavers for storm water control: Replace solid concrete with a permeable paver system that lets rain soak in.
• Edible tropical landscapes: Mango, citrus, and even medicinal herb beds are popping up because of the growing foodscaping movement.

Fort Myers Landscaping by Season

Unlike in the frigid North, your lawn and landscaping never sleep in Fort Myers. Follow this landscaping schedule to stay on track and get the results you want.

Fall

• Lawn Care: Mow frequency decreases from November through March.
• Leaf Cleanup: Rake and blow your leaves, palm fronds, and pine straw, or hire a local leaf removal crew.
• Planting: Plant shrubs, trees, and perennials while the weather starts cooling off.
• Mulch: Replace or add mulch. 
• Irrigation: Check your sprinkler heads for damage. 
• Hardscaping: Installation of patios, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and stamped concrete walkways can continue. Watch for wet weather, as these projects need dry conditions.
• Landscape Lighting: Install spotlights to highlight your flowering trees.
• Fencing: Fall is still a great opportunity to fence part of or all of your property. 

Winter 

• Landscaping Projects: As long as soil temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately equal to air temperatures of 60 degrees Fahrenheit), projects can proceed throughout the winter, unless there are prolonged periods of wet weather.
• Shrub Pruning: Best performed in late winter or early spring.

Spring

• Lawn Care: Mowing begins around April 1.
• Planting: It's time to get rid of old, tired shrubbery and refresh your property. 
• Mulch: Add fresh mulch. 
• Irrigation: Install an irrigation system with designated zones for shrubs and perennials.
• Hardscaping: Replace your old patio with a new paver patio with a sitting wall. These upgrades are ideal for spring, summer, and fall.
• Fencing: Spring, summer, and fall are perfect for installing a new vinyl fence.
• Landscape Lighting: Install path lights to accent your new stamped concrete walkway.  
• Shrub Pruning: Do this in early spring to encourage new growth.

Summer

• Lawn Care: Mowing continues with adjustments for the rainy season.
• Irrigation: The Southwest Florida sun is brutal in the summer, so be sure your lawn and landscaping get water regularly.
• Fencing: Install a new fence for privacy. 
• Landscape Lighting: Maintain your system by cleaning all your dirty lenses.
