The SECRET to creating your own landscape design 🌺🌴🌸THE STEPS!

In this video, I am sharing my approach to creating a Florida tropical landscape design and how easy it is for you to do the same, I hope this video helps those of you looking to create a similar style for your own yard. I’m a landscape designer in Vero Beach, FL. Sharing some of my absolute favorite plants and trees, I use daily in my designs. I’ll explain a little about their temperaments and what areas of the garden they can be used in. I love sharing plant tips and what works so well in our Florida landscapes. This may be a helpful video for you if you live along the Space or Treasure Coast. Hope it inspires the rest of the plant addicts like me to get out in their gardens and plant.

Thank you all so much for the kind words just love this gardening community we have here on youtube. If there are any questions you’d like answered in a future video then please list them below and I’ll get on it. Good luck in your gardens everyone!

[@brycebevins721]

👏👏👏

This is great. The best tip I got from this was the wave effect with the blue my minds. I would love to see a video where you are applying this method around a pool cage. Where there is a double sided view.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Great suggestion! I commonly have to work with double sided beds, I’ll be sure to add a video the next time I do one.

[@blancaacosta333]

Your idea of layering and plant selection looks very pleasing to the eyes. Another layer that finally completes the the entire landscape is that beautiful blue/gray stones as it frames the fantastic scene ❤. Thank you for sharing.

[@brycebevins721]

I agree!

[@MarissaMcClain-du6sc]

Don’t the stones just make all the greenery pop!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Absolutely 💯 love the touch of stone in a garden. Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed it’

[@astramom2740]

I keep referencing this video, would love more like this, thx so much!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you and More to come!

[@christineholzem1862]

Please do more videos like this one! I’ve watched most of your videos and really enjoy all of them. I happen to be in the same climate zone as the areas you serve, but I’m on the gulf coast, so unfortunately not in your service area. Your previous videos taught me the plant names and helped me identify what will work in my area, but THIS is the video that really helped me tie it all together and gave me the confidence to design my own front yard planting beds! I was struggling with my design, I knew something was missing with it, and now I know I was missing those two middle layers! I have the level 1 trees, have lots of ideas/options for level 4, but I had not even thought about the level 2 and 3 plants for the front yard. Now I’m unstuck. Thank you for that! I would love to see you do more of this type of video going forward, how you plan out the projects. LOVE IT!

[@beckyboopz1]

Yes I would love to see more! Additionally, I would love to know how far away from the house to plant each thing, how far from each other, and how broad and wide the bed finishes out. I have a terrible habit of planting too close together and having a jumbled mess.

[@sherriheebner9479]

Great video as usual. I love your work. I have seen your video on your side yard for privacy but I would love to see a good example of a narrow side yard foundation planting. Keep the videos coming and I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Great suggestion thank you! Happy holidays to you as well.

[@groforit]

Loved this! Layering is definitely key. I added Sanchezia and Copperleaf in our Ghana garden after seeing them in a few of your videos😊🌿

[@stylewithlivingart]

Oh some of my favorites hope you are loving them in your garden.

[@cluke5486]

Sanchezia is on my wish list…just trying to plan where it will fit!

[@MarissaMcClain-du6sc]

Awesome video! Loved your levels! Your designs always look incredible!

[@brycebevins721]

Yes!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you Marissa

[@Richorob]

Love this… 👍🏻

[@brycebevins721]

Right!!

[@MarissaMcClain-du6sc]

Heck yeah

[@akiandlaura]

I would like to see some ideas about how to adapt the 4 levels you have discussed to a larger, say, one acre property. We are in Hawaii and have many of the same plants. With the increased space brings challenges. For instance, how does perimeter privacy with tall hedging flow to large scale palms and/orspecimen trees and so on? Is the backdrop planting a 5th level? How do we incorporate a small orchard fruit trees (avocado, some citrus) and still achieve flow for the garden? How can we leave clippings and trimmings on site to produce soil over time, but not be unsightly? How do we keep an element of surprise and pathways in the garden but without full-time maintenance? Love your channel and helpful ideas!

[@brycebevins721]

Looks awesome!!!

[@MarissaMcClain-du6sc]

You do the best editing!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Absolutely 💯 the best editing

[@jadeineshives9574]

I always look forward to your videos. They are a great inspiration!

[@brycebevins721]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you so glad you’re enjoying the video’s!

[@PureSwank]

I love these palms. I got some royal palms and king palms with some golden pathos growing around their trunks. A couple bottle palms, and pygmy dates scattered around them. Then I got some giant elephant ears and 3 HUGE red banana trees in place. The red banana trees started around 3 feet tall and now they are about 15 feet tall. They are going on 4 years. They look WILD. I got all my inspiration from a trip I took to Bali, Indonesia.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Lol well its clear, You are my people. It sounds absolutely gorgeous. What a great way to bring the vacation home right

[@BaileyLovesMangos]

I love all that you do! Are there any plants that help keep snakes away from landscaping and yards?

[@CharlesBevins-vd8xs]

What a great and informative video love your content. I could literally watch you every day.

[@elizabethpikul9028]

I would love to see your layering idea on a narrow 4.5 ft by 25 ft side yard, morning sun… east side if a single story home.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Funny enough I’m getting ready to video my side yard garden remodel it’s about 5-6 wide. I didn’t layer it heavy because it’s right along the house foundation but think it turned out nice with a few other cool features. Keep a look out for it.

[@-Mike-76]

Love it! This is exactly what I am looking for to learn how to landscape my own home!!

[@dlbassett]

Beautiful plant setting. Please to the same for a oak and pine environment yard.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Great idea!

[@MarianneRuffhaven]

Great information. I enjoy watching your videos and they have been very helpful as I tweak an older landscape. Can you please add botanical names of plants in your videos. I was looking for "blue my mind" at a nursery in Melbourne area and they had no idea what I was talking about. An internet serch led to Evolvulus, dwarf morning glory. Is this correct?

[@stylewithlivingart]

Yes, that’s right. The very best variety I have found of those are the Proven winners. Blue daze hybrid called blue my mind. If you’re in Melbourne try emerald Island Nursery they are near cocoa and I believe they carry them. Good luck to you.

[@gennysanchez8200]

You are so refreshing and I follow you all the way from Edgewater, FL. Edgewater, FLORIDA is now zone 10a. What are some of the trees, shrubs and ground cover we can plant that we couldn't plant before? Thank you!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. I’m always surprised at how just a few degrees In temps change up plant options. Im not as familiar with the Edgewater area 😌 sorry wish I could help.

[@cindyfulk8853]

Thank you for your simple but inspiring formula to beautiful planting! I do love your style! I would love to see examples of your landscaping around pools. Especially 360* around the pool that is in the open, no cage. 🙂

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you! Will do! I commonly work with open pool scapes I’ll do a video on the next one I do.

[@cluke5486]

Once again, thanks for an informative video. I would love to hear your thoughts on deciding what to screen and what to expose or ‘filter’. I’m planning the shallow backyard of a canal home and planning my view from the house and thinking about how to provide privacy from across the canal neighbors without totally blocking my view of the water. Would love to hear how you would approach this. Keep the videos rolling! I love your work ❤!

[@brycebevins721]

Yes!!🤝👏

[@stylewithlivingart]

Great question I might make a video on just that. If you are in an area nearby I’d use Pygmys since they max out at 10-12’ft with 4-5ft of clearance leaving you the water view and if there’s room possible use a larger palm behind the Pygmys like a triple Christmas palm they max out at 16-18ft so two long term layers and great for blocking when they are paired together. Just a thought. Hope it helps

[@tamaralarson7615]

That European Fan Palm…amazing! Love that! Always love watching your videos! I learn so much from them for my west coast of Florida yard. Thanks for the breakdown - very helpful.

[@stylewithlivingart]

I know right, I just love the dramatic look of those palms. Glad you liked the video!

[@cgiacoboni]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It looks great. Question: what do you use for edging between the lawn and the rocks/mulch? Thank you!

[@stylewithlivingart]

Hello Chester in this video I used the aluminum alloy edging from curve rite at my house I use Beuta edging. I love both products I’d lean towards the Beuta if you have a lot of mower traffic. Good luck to you on your project!

[@champagnegardening5182]

Omg! Do you offer video consults? I'm on the west coast and I'm trying to create a tropical forest/food forest in my back yard.

[@KIKOKALS03]

Any recommendation for a free or inexpensive program that would enable me to plot out my plan for a better visualization? I know what I like but having a hard time visualizing how my ideas would look once put together.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Hey there I use a professional product that’s pretty pricey however I started out using Ideal image they had a lot of options and allowed you to import a photo to work off of. At least they did back years ago when I used them. Best thing to do would be snap a pic of the area and find a program you can import that pic and start playing with the plants and trees in the region you choose. Good luck to you on your project!

[@juliettesurtz9301]

do hydrangeas grow in southern florida

[@stylewithlivingart]

Hello Juliette Well, I've always been told NO however I came across a client in Vero Beach Growing a nice cluster of them. They were only two years old however they seemed to be thriving so possibly yes.

[@donrush5311]

Hi, I love your videos. I've learned a lot and have gotten a lot of inspiration from you and it doesn't hurt that you're easy on the eyes. Naming the plants has been super helpful as well. I would just ask that you point out which direction the houses are facing, as sun light is a major part of gardening. It's important for knowing how much light the area will get each day and the sun is in a much different position summer VS winter. I haven't watched a lot of your videos yet so if you're already doing this please disregard. Thank you and I hope you are here for many years to come. P.s. I'm in zone 10a.

[@stylewithlivingart]

Thank you for the feedback I get so caught up in so many other things. I always forget to do that. I will make it a point to do so. I agree that’s very helpful when planning. So glad you enjoyed the videos. Thanks for watching

[@traciesites428]

I would love to watch your video, but it's not loud enough.

[@stylewithlivingart]

This is Bryce, I usually do the editing and for some reason the volume decreased. I’ve since got a better editing software. Let us know if its any better on our new videos!!
