Tropical planting and privacy screens in Wellington, FL
Wellington lots are bigger, sunnier and further apart. We plant privacy screens, shade and color at that scale, with irrigation set up for well water and long dry spells.
What's different about planting in Wellington
Big lots, full sun
More open ground and less shade. We add shade trees early and choose sun-hardy plants for the open areas.
Privacy at a distance
Screens often run hundreds of feet. We mix clusia, podocarpus and cocoplum so a single pest can't open a gap.
Well water
Many homes irrigate from wells. We plan zones and plants that cope with it.
How we plant in Wellington
Rosa walks the whole property to map sun, wind and wet spots, then plants in layers: shade trees first, screens along the boundaries, and the color near the house where you'll see it every day. Drip lines keep water use down on the long runs.
Planting projects from $8,000. Privacy screens from $4,500 per 50 feet, depending on plant size at install.
Typical Wellington planting projects
- Mixed privacy screens along property lines

Questions about this
How fast will a privacy screen fill in?
Usually one to two growing seasons, depending on the plant size you start with. Larger plants cost more but close the gap sooner.
Do you plant around horse paddocks?
Yes, and we avoid plants that are toxic to horses anywhere they can reach.
