Another New Design Project Started in Port Orange
We have started a new project in Port Orange. As usual, we will be spending more time in prep work, as this project is loaded with the infamous torpedo grass. Once we have prepared the area, quarantined the perimeter beds and removed all of the invasive species within, we can begin installation of the approved design. This one will be really fun because we are introducing and creating elements we have not see in landscapes before!
Port Orange Project New Landscape Update
We now have the landscaping installed and are waiting for the customer to make a decision on the color of rock. We want to stay with a lighter color as the house is very dark and the purple garden foliage will really show of nicely. Approaching the final phase of the project this week…adding the tumbled stone border and 20+ tons of pink/white river rock.
Florida Friendly Certified - Port Orange
Exotic Designs Landscaping is proud to serve Port Orange and as the 1st certified Florida Landscape Designer in Port Orange, not to mention in Florida. We enjoy that designation being a charter member as Florida Friendly Certified and are committed to designing in the way that considers and protects Florida’s natural resources and wildlife.
Don’t get us wrong, we also enjoy designing tropical landscapes very much, but only when non-invasive plants are used. “We look at the long term of a design” not just how nice it looks when it is first installed.

A New French Drain System Nears Completion
We are pleased to be working on a new French drain system. Every system has it’s own unique set of challenges and this one is no different. Developers build in areas that were either wet lands at one point or just have a high water table. The clients yard was constantly wet and soggy. We love being able to solve this problem and move the water to the rear swale or front water system. We also did a lot of measures that may seem like overkill, but we believe it is more important for the system to have long term results. The yard in this area will be dry and usable, with very little evidence of a French drain.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Repurposing Podocarpus
Timing was perfect for this client recent. They were on a very tight budget and wanted to hide the neighbors newly installed fence. As fate would have it, another client we were also working with wanted us to remove and redo/revise their existing landscaping. We removed all of those beautiful podocarpus, 5-6′ the client didn’t want that were installed from the builder.
It turned out to be a win-win for everybody and we did not have waste the material by taking it to the to the dump. If we can repurpose material and donate it somewhere, we are pleased to do so!
A Beautiful Day at the Beach!
It is great when you are close to the beach and just stop by to take a look!
Rooster on the Trail
The rooster that was dropped off on the trail and many of us have been feeding hasn’t been around for a while. We hope for the best…he really was a nice rooster.

Recently Installed Sylvester Palms in Port Orange
It was a pleasure working with Kat and Dave on their home. They recently were told to remove their live oak, as it was considered diseased. Needless to say they were not happy to have to remove such a beautiful tree. The two Sylvester palms can’t replace a majestic old oak, but they do fill a bit of a void and in a cost effective way.
Citrus Canker?
A client of ours recently had these corky lesions develop on the leaves. We treated and fertilized the citrus, but are now concerned the problem is citrus canker. We have sent images to University of Florida and waiting on the results. It is unfortunate because canker requires the citrus be destroyed and the trees are just now flushing out with new abundant new growth from the treatment and fertilizer. Canker has been the death of Florida citrus, so it is something that you can’t mess around with. Fingers crossed.
River Oak Stumps left Behind
The previous contractor left behind stumps from river oaks they had cut down. The even covered them up with weed barrier, so nobody knew they were there. Before the remaining robellini palms can be installed, these stumps need to be removed. No accounting for poor workmanship.
