A professionally landscaped yard by GOOD-N-GREEN makes a house into the Home of Your Dreams. At GNG Landscaping we provide a hands-on approach to your landscape and garden needs – beginning with an initial consultation to design and planning all the way through to installation and on-going maintenance services. From large estates to intimate gardens, we pride ourselves in offering custom solutions for each client with a commitment to creativity, quality and the environment.

The first step towards creating a successful and beautiful landscape for your home is to assess the existing conditions – soil composition, areas of light and shade, grading, site drainage, the “borrowing” of good views and the blocking of bad ones, for example. At GNG Landscaping, we apply your site’s existing conditions to your individual needs to design the best plan for your home and lifestyle.

Once we’ve set the basic parameters the next step is to design the garden’s structures -- the pools, fountains, spas, decks, outdoor kitchens, arbors, gates and fences. These permanent features or garden “architecture” establish ...
... the shape and size of the outdoor rooms and their connection and flow to your indoor spaces.

After the planshave been “set” we create the planting plan –THE FUN! First, we believe that the key to successful gardens is “the right plant in the right place”. (This is also a basic component to xeriscaping.) To that end we spend a great deal of time ensuring that your plant selections work with your décor AND with the site conditions. We are fortunate in the SWFL area to have a wide array of plants to compliment your home and taste – from tropical, and semi-tropical to coastal Southern.

GNG Landscaping uses our knowledge of growing and water conditions in the SWFL area to create a lush environment while mindful of the latest water conservation policies and best practices. We specialize in putting in micro-zones for pots and other specific conditions so as not to over water the rest of the garden. If available, we recommend using reclaimed water for some of your garden watering needs from a rain water collection system installed into the landscape.

GNG Landscaping’s gardens are built to last. This is why our landscapes come with maintenance programs specific to your individual requirements and the growing conditions in the SWFL area. We have available a number of practices to preserve your property’s look and ensure your garden’s healthy growth. Our maintenance program can include regular servicing of your lawn and gardens, periodic tree pruning, seasonal installation of annuals, maintenance of lighting and irrigation systems and our constant and customized support of your individual needs.

There are several things to consider when making the choice to change your landscape.
Water Conservation:
Your water usage goes up depending on the foliage and or ground cover you choose
Landscape Irrigation:
New and improved landscaping should include low water usage systems
Accent Lighting:
A freshly lit landscape with lighting will bring your landscape to life at night.
Rain Water Collection:
Conserve water today in a beautiful way, and save money with a water collection system.

Water conservation is very important to us at GNG and we strive to design your garden in a clever way that minimizes water use. Every plant on Earth has adapted to survive in specific climatic conditions. Outside of home gardens, most plants live without any additional water or care beyond what is offered by the local rain clouds. By looking to the native plants from our region, we can discover a window into water-efficient landscaping. Mimic your natural surroundings, plant natives in your yard, and watch your water bill plummet to zero!Use native, drought-tolerant plants. Landscape your yard with plants that have low water needs. The best way is to request that some or all of your landscape plants are native to your region.Water when it’s cool. To reduce water lost to evaporation, water only during the cool times of day: Early morning is best.Water wiser!Look for sprinklers that produce droplets rather than mist. Better yet, install a drip-irrigation system. You can also install rain shut-off devices and moisture sensors, so that you’re not watering during a rain.

Landscape irrigation is a very easy mystery to solve, but if you don’t water wisely, it is easy to lose more than half of your irrigation to runoff or evaporation. Water is an increasingly expensive and valuable resource—many human, plant, and animal populations depend heavily upon having enough water. As human populations grow, it becomes more and more important that we water with wisdom. Evaluate your yard and eliminate all the features that waste water.Don’t over-water. Learn about the water-needs of the plants you have, and don’t give them more than they want. The more mature a plant is, the more tolerant it will be of dry soil.Check for water leaks. Check the numbers on your water meter. Don’t run any water for 15 minutes. Check the numbers again. If they have gone up, you may have a leak in your irrigation system.

Rain Water Collectionrainwater collection products can intrude upon your outdoor environment, but better materials and planning by your landscape professional at GNG can blend rain water collection into your landscape design and provide you or your garden of free water. The average collectable rain fall in a summer month is 700 gallons per household. In the summer the average consumer uses 350 gallons per month of water outdoors. Installing a rain water collection system can reduce outdoor water consumption by 50% or more, help the environment and save you money.
