Landscaping Services in Mount Dora
Everything below is available to Mount Dora homeowners, businesses and community associations, installed by our own crew.
Landscaping Under Old Oaks
Mount Dora's established neighborhoods sit under mature live oaks. Floratam St. Augustine thins out in that shade, so we replace it with shade-tolerant varieties or convert deep-shade areas to ground covers, ferns and mulch beds that look intentional instead of bare. Irrigation heads get moved out of root zones and converted to drip in the beds.
Hillside Lots and Lake Dora
The town's slopes need terracing and erosion-control plantings; lakefront lots on Lake Dora and Lake Gertrude need plants that handle wind and the 15-foot fertilizer buffer required by the Lake County ordinance.
Golf and 55+ Communities
Country Club of Mount Dora, Lakes of Mount Dora and Stoneybrook Hills all have architectural review. We design low-maintenance, HOA-compliant yards with drip irrigation and smart controllers and prepare the submittals.
Watering Days
Mount Dora follows the St. Johns River Water Management District schedule: under the 2026 shortage order, odd-numbered addresses water Saturday, even-numbered addresses Sunday, no irrigation 8 a.m.–6 p.m.

Mount Dora Landscaping FAQs
What grass grows under the oaks in Mount Dora?
Floratam St. Augustine needs 6+ hours of sun and thins under Mount Dora's oak canopy. We use shade-tolerant St. Augustine varieties such as Seville, Bitter Blue or Palmetto, or convert deep shade to ground covers and mulch beds.
Do you work in the Country Club of Mount Dora and Lakes of Mount Dora?
Yes. Both have architectural review, and we prepare the submittals and design low-maintenance, HOA-compliant yards for them.
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.
