A beautiful landscape plan is only as good as its installation. At TotalScape Design, the same team that designs your outdoor space manages every step of building it. Our professional landscape installation services in Fort Lauderdale, FL cover everything from site preparation and soil conditioning to planting, irrigation, and finishing details — all executed to match the 3D design you approved, down to the placement of every plant and stone.

Every species chosen for South Florida’s climate and your specific soil. Plants that thrive — not just survive.
We design first.
A landscape isn’t a number on a quote — it’s a plan. Here’s what changes when somebody actually draws one before the shovels arrive.
Eight disciplines. One signature.
In-house teams · No subcontracting · Broward + Miami-Dade
Every successful installation starts below the surface. We evaluate drainage patterns, correct grading issues, and prepare South Florida’s sandy soils with the amendments your new plants need. Proper preparation prevents the two most common landscape failures in Fort Lauderdale: standing water after summer storms and plants starving in nutrient-poor soil.
We source healthy, Florida-grown trees, palms, shrubs, and groundcovers suited to your property’s sun exposure and salt tolerance requirements. Coastal properties need different plants than inland lots — and we install accordingly, with correct spacing for mature growth, proper root ball depth, and staking where wind exposure demands it.
Triangle palms, tropical understory, native bromeliads — gardens built from species that thrive in South Florida’s heat, rain, and salt air. Plants that thrive, not just survive.
New plantings fail without correct watering. We install smart irrigation systems zoned by plant type and sun exposure, so your turf, beds, and trees each get what they need — without wasting water during Florida’s wet season or under-watering during the dry months.
Whether you choose natural St. Augustine or Zoysia sod, or prefer the zero-maintenance route with artificial turf, we handle ground preparation, installation, and establishment care instructions.
Installation is the ideal time to run low-voltage wiring — before beds are planted, not after. Ask about integrating landscape lighting into your installation so pathways, trees, and architectural features shine from day one.
Many installations include structural elements built by our hardscaping team — paver walkways, borders, retaining walls, and water features — installed in the correct sequence so heavy equipment never damages finished plantings.
Seasonal color rotations and ongoing care that keep your landscape looking like installation day — season after season.
A deliberate process.

Landscape installation in Fort Lauderdale is not like installation anywhere else. Every project we build accounts for:
Wind-resistant species selection, proper tree staking, and root establishment timelines planned around storm season.
Salt-tolerant plants for coastal and Intracoastal properties.
Soil amendment and fertilization programs that give plants a real foundation.
Drainage solutions integrated into every bed and lawn area.
Irrigation zoning and mulching strategies that protect roots through the dry season.

We design before we plant. Every project starts with a full planting plan — every zone, every species — that you approve before installation. Most landscapers quote a number and start digging. We hand you a design first, and once you’ve signed off, our in-house team handles permits, installation and final delivery. One contract, one team.
We come to your property, walk every corner with you, and listen to how you want the yard to feel. We assess soil, sun, drainage and existing planting, then send you a written summary within 48 hours. No commitment, no obligation. If you’d like to keep going, the next step is a full 3D design — and you only sign once you’ve seen it.
Design takes 2–3 weeks after the on-site visit. Installation depends on scope — a planting refresh runs 3–5 days, and a full yard with lighting and irrigation typically runs 2–4 weeks. Projects that include hardscaping or pool integration run longer. We give you a date-by-date schedule before any work begins.
Because we choose every species for South Florida — and for your specific soil and exposure. We don’t pull from a generic catalog. Plus, every install comes with a written plant guarantee for the first year. If something doesn’t take, we replace it.
Landscapes can be installed year-round in South Florida. Fall through spring offers ideal establishment conditions; summer installations simply require closer irrigation management, which our smart systems handle automatically.
Yes. Permits, HOA submissions, utility locates, and any required arborist sign-offs are all handled by our team — including Broward County permits for tree removal, irrigation connections, or structural elements. You don’t coordinate a single thing.
We sequence every installation so equipment work happens before finished surfaces go in, and we protect existing hardscape and structures throughout the build.
New plantings need consistent watering during their establishment period — typically 60 to 90 days. We calibrate your irrigation for this phase and provide a simple care guide at the final walkthrough.
