Siesta Key
A beach yard has to take salt, sand, and the HOA.
Siesta Key lots are not inland Sarasota lots. Salt air, sandy soil, bright light, and often a condo or HOA rulebook change what can live in the beds. We design planting and hardscape for those conditions, then build the work with the same crew.
Coastal conditions
Plant choices and materials are made with salt, sand, and storm water in mind, not copied from an inland palette.
Key and mainland
Siesta Key is a regular service area, along with Longboat Key, Sarasota, and the rest of the coast we already work.
Same owner, same crew
The company started in 2014. The same crew leader has been with us since day one.
What the Key asks of a yard
Salt, sand, and plants that still look like a garden.
A few blocks from the beach, or on a canal, the plants that thrive inland can burn, stall, or rot. We start with species and palms that have a real chance in that exposure, then compose them so the house is not buried in a hedge of 'whatever will survive.'
The photos here include waterfront hardscape and palms from our work. They are not labeled as Siesta Key addresses. They show the kind of coastal terrace, deck, and planting our crew builds on water-adjacent lots.
HOA and condo properties
Small lots, shared rules, and a yard that still feels private.
Many Key properties are tighter than a mainland lot, and many have an association with opinions about color, trees, and what is visible from the street or the beach path. Bring the documents. We would rather design inside the rules than redo a bed after a letter arrives.
Privacy on a small lot is usually planting and a smart walk, not a fortress. Side yards, the view from the lanai, and the path with sand on your feet are part of the first conversation.

Walk the exposure
We look at wind, salt, sand, irrigation, and any association rules, not only the style you like.

A coastal palette and a layout
Plants, palms, and any paving or walls are planned for the lot you have, written into an on-site estimate.

The folks at Sarasota Landscaping came highly recommended by a friend, and they did not disappoint. The team was very professional, arrived each day when they said they would, and finished the project on time. They far exceeded my expectations! Our backyard and lanai area looks fantastic!

Can you work on condos as well as single-family houses?
Often, when the association allows it and access is clear. Mention if the property is a condo or a single-family house so we can talk about approvals.
Do you guarantee plants against salt?
No page on this site invents a warranty. We'll choose plants that belong in the exposure and will be direct about risk on a harsh lot.
What about sand in the joints of a paver walk?
It is a real Key issue. We talk about surfaces, edges, and upkeep on the visit, including how you enter from the beach or the street.
Are you a Siesta Key-only company?
No. This is a Sarasota Landscaping Inc. site focused on Key conditions. The same company works the mainland and Longboat Key as well.
