Service · Seasonal Color
Color that works the calendar.
Rotational annual color programs, container plantings, and themed displays for entrances, amenity areas, and streetscapes. First impressions are made at the front gate — we make sure yours is planted, fresh, and on schedule.
Overview
The property's first impression.
Nothing on a property announces the standard of care faster than the color beds at the entrance. Fresh, full, and coordinated says one thing about the community behind the gate; tired and patchy says another.
Our color programs run on a rotation schedule designed up front — varieties selected for South Florida's heat, humidity, and season, quantities planned bed by bed, and change-outs booked on the calendar so displays never limp past their peak. Beds are prepped, amended, and kept deadheaded and full between rotations.
From a single monument entrance to themed displays across an entire master-planned community, the standards don't change.
Scope of work
-
Rotation design & planning Season-by-season plans with varieties, color palettes, and quantities mapped to each bed — approved before anything is planted.
-
Annual color installation Bed preparation, soil amendment, and installation by in-house crews on a scheduled rotation.
-
Container & planter programs Designed container plantings for entrances, amenity centers, pool decks, and streetscapes.
-
Themed & event displays Seasonal and holiday displays for communities and commercial centers that want a signature moment.
-
Between-rotation care Deadheading, feeding, and replacement of declining material so beds look full for the whole season.
-
Irrigation coordination Color beds live and die by water — we tune the zones that feed them as part of the program.
Process
How we approach every program.
A consistent four-step process whether you're refreshing one entrance or building a community-wide color identity.
Site & palette review
We walk the property, measure the beds, and talk through the look the board or ownership wants to see.
Rotation plan
A season-by-season plan — varieties, palettes, quantities, and pricing — approved before the first tray is ordered.
Scheduled change-outs
In-house crews prep, amend, and plant on rotation days booked in advance, with minimal disruption on-site.
Season-long care
Deadheading, feeding, and spot replacement between rotations keep the display at peak, not just planting-day fresh.
Credentials
Designed once. Delivered every season.
Color programs fail on logistics, not ideas — material that arrives late, beds that never get amended, rotations that slip a month past peak. Our programs are planned a season ahead, sourced from growers we trust, and installed by our own crews on dates you'll have on the calendar in advance.

Three ways to work with us.
Every property is different. Pricing is always quoted after an in-person assessment — but here's how engagements typically work.

One-time color installation for an event, a season, or a property refresh. Fixed scope, quoted after a site visit.
- Bed measurement & design
- Written plan & quote
- Bed prep & amendment
- In-house installation
Annual rotation program
Scheduled change-outs across the property, planned a season ahead. Best for HOAs, MPCs, and commercial centers.
- Season-by-season rotation plan
- Scheduled change-out dates
- Between-rotation care
- Container & planter add-ons
- Irrigation coordination
Design consulting
Palette and planting design for boards, developers, and management companies planning a refresh.

- Budget planning
- Bid-spec preparation
Frequently Asked
Seasonal color questions.
Quick answers to what property owners and managers ask most. For everything else, our FAQ page covers more.
How many rotations a year does a South Florida program need?
Most commercial programs run three to four rotations a year, timed to South Florida's growing calendar rather than northern seasons — heat-tolerant varieties carry the summer, and the showiest material runs through the winter dry season when properties get the most traffic.
Can you match a community's brand or architectural palette?
Yes — that's the point of designing the rotation up front. We build palettes around monument signage, architectural finishes, and community branding, and keep them consistent across every entrance and amenity area so the property reads as one design.
What happens if material declines between rotations?
Program properties get between-rotation care visits — deadheading, feeding, and spot replacement of declining plants. A display that limps to change-out day defeats the purpose, so full-season presentation is built into the program, not billed as an extra.
Do you handle the beds' irrigation too?
Yes. Annual color is the thirstiest planting on the property, and most failed displays trace back to coverage or scheduling problems in the zones that feed them. We check and tune those zones as part of the rotation, and coordinate with the irrigation program if the property has one.
How far ahead do we need to plan?
A season. Quality material is grown to order, so the best varieties and quantities go to programs that are planned and confirmed early. We build the full year's rotation calendar up front — you approve it once, and the logistics are our job from there.
