I am in Central Florida zone 9a between Ocala and Orlando, in The Villages. I want a lush TROPICAL front of home landscape and really want to hire a landscape architect to do a plan. I know that some of the garden centers (Porters, etc.) have them on salary, but I would much rather hire someone who is independent of using a particular nursery's plants. I have done a google search with no results and would rather trust someone here to recommend someone. Thanks very much!! Karen
Tropical garden landscape architect anyone?
Hi Karen, I am in the same area and would like to find one too. I suggest that you drive around quite a bit and look for landscapes that suit you and then enquire as to the designer. Please let me know if you find anyone, and I will do likewise.

Thanks Mary, there are tons of landscapers here at The Villages, but I have not seen what I want. Most people use Palms, rocks and cement borders and that is not what I want. Please also let me know if you find someone. Karen
Have you looked in the local paper for ads from small/individually owned folks.
I do landscape here/Houston and that's where we get some business. Also do a search for landscaper or landscaping. You will have to sift through to find one w/ a landscape Arch.
Good luck.
There are a ton of landscapers here, but no architect. I am going to visit some garden centers and see if they have designers. Thanks!
