Landscape design in Jupiter, FL
Jupiter gardens deal with salt spray, sandy soil and steady sea breeze. We design around all three, so your garden looks better in year three than on day one.
What's different about designing in Jupiter
Salt in the air
Near the ocean and the Intracoastal, salt burns tender leaves. We plan a tough outer layer of sea grape, cocoplum and silver buttonwood to shelter the rest.
Sandy, fast-draining soil
Water and nutrients drain away quickly. We amend beds and use drip irrigation so plants root deep instead of thirsting.
Wind
Steady breezes and storm gusts. We favor palms that flex, stake new trees properly and keep tall plants out of the line of the house.
How we design a Jupiter garden
We start on the windward side and work inward: a salt-tolerant edge, then the shade and color you actually wanted in the protected middle. Terraces face away from the afternoon sun, and coral stone keeps pool decks comfortable underfoot.
Design plans from $3,500. Most Jupiter gardens we build cost between $40,000 and $120,000, depending on size and how much stone is involved.
What a Jupiter project usually involves
- A salt-tolerant perimeter of native shrubs and sabal palms
- A coral stone terrace or pool deck
- Drip irrigation zones for amended beds
- Warm path and palm lighting

Questions about this
Do you work on waterfront lots?
Yes. Waterfront gardens are a big part of our Jupiter work. We plan for salt, wind and any seawall setbacks your lot has.
Which palms do best near the ocean?
Sabal palms, thatch palms and coconut palms handle salt and wind well. We'll suggest the right mix for your exposure.
