Landscaping in Montverde, FL
Montverde is ten minutes from the nursery along County Road 455. The hilltop estate lots in Bella Collina and the newer homes in Willow Ridge call for larger specimen trees, formal hedges and outdoor living spaces, and we grow much of that material ourselves.

Landscaping Services in Montverde
Everything below is available to Montverde homeowners, businesses and community associations, installed by our own crew.
Estate Landscaping
Bella Collina's architectural standards favor Mediterranean and formal designs: clipped hedges, mature palms, stone and paver hardscape, and landscape lighting. We source specimen trees, build paver pool decks and pergolas, and maintain the result.
Hills and the Lake Apopka Shoreline
Montverde's hills drop toward Lake Apopka. Slopes need erosion control, and lakefront lots need plants that handle wind and occasional high water in low areas.
Willow Ridge and Gated Communities
Gated communities such as Willow Ridge require architectural-review approval for front-yard changes. We prepare the drawings and plant lists.
Watering Days
Montverde is in the St. Johns River Water Management District (currently Saturday for odd addresses, Sunday for even; no watering 8 a.m.–6 p.m.).

Montverde Landscaping FAQs
How much does landscaping cost in Central Florida?
Most full-yard landscaping in the Clermont area runs $2 to $15 per square foot depending on how much is plants and mulch versus pavers, irrigation and structures. A typical 500 sq ft front-yard refresh in the Orlando market is roughly $2,300–$6,000; a complete new-construction package with sod, irrigation, trees and beds is more. We give free, itemized estimates so you can phase the work.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Clermont and serve all of south Lake County every week: Clermont, Minneola, Groveland, Montverde, Mascotte and Howey-in-the-Hills. We also work in west Orange County (Winter Garden, Horizon West, Ocoee, Windermere, Apopka), the Four Corners and Davenport area of Polk County, and take larger projects across Lake, Orange, Polk, Osceola, Seminole, Marion and Sumter counties. See our service areas.
Does a landscaper need a license in Florida?
Florida does not issue a statewide landscape contractor license; landscape installation and lawn maintenance require local business tax receipts and insurance. Applying fertilizer for hire requires the state Limited Urban Fertilizer certification, and applying any pesticide (including weed-and-feed) requires a Florida Department of Agriculture license. Highland Grove is licensed, bonded and insured and holds the certifications its crews need.
Do you help with HOA approval for landscaping changes?
Yes. Most communities in Clermont, Minneola, Groveland, Winter Garden and Horizon West require architectural-review (ARC) approval before changing a front yard, adding pavers or building a pergola. We prepare the plan drawing, plant list and material specs the committee asks for and use plants from the community's approved palette.
