Florida Landscape Consulting

Practical guidance built on engineering, field experience, and Florida-specific plant expertise.

Make confident decisions before investing in a full landscape design or installation. Pennate helps you understand what will work, what won’t, and why — based on real Florida conditions.

Tier 1 — Strategy Session

$145
A focused 30-minute consultation to answer questions, review site conditions, and evaluate ideas before you commit to larger design or installation costs.
Why homeowners choose this:
One wrong plant choice, drainage oversight, or sun-exposure mistake can cost 10–50× more to correct. This session provides clear, Florida-specific direction from an engineer who designs for heat, hurricanes, soil issues, and irrigation realities.
Homeowners regularly avoid $1,000+ in preventable issues from this session alone.

Tier 3 — Full Property Concept Plan

$1,200
A comprehensive conceptual strategy for your entire property, developed using the same methodology Pennate applies to HOAs, commercial sites, and institutional gardens. Includes macro- and micro-zoning, plant architecture, irrigation considerations, priority sequencing, and a phased development roadmap.
Why this is premium:
This is your master strategy blueprint — the plan that prevents misaligned budgets, poor plant selections, layout regrets, and costly rework. It’s for homeowners who want to approach their property with precision and long-term vision.
Large projects that begin without a conceptual strategy often incur $10,000–$50,000 in avoidable redesigns and corrections. This plan eliminates those risks before they occur.

Advanced Consulting & Strategic Landscape Planning

For HOAs, Commercial Properties, and Institutional Clients

Pennate provides high-level consulting and long-term planning for properties requiring advanced expertise, larger budgets, and multi-stakeholder coordination. These services leverage engineering-based evaluation, Florida-specific plant science, coastal resilience strategy, and phased implementation planning.
These tiers demonstrate Pennate’s complete capabilities. Residential clients benefit from the same rigor at a smaller scale.

HOA Landscape Strategy & Board Review

Starting at $1,500
Guidance for HOA boards on planting standards, long-term plant selection, screening requirements, replacement cycles, irrigation logic, and storm-readiness. This service helps communities reduce maintenance costs, prevent resident disputes, and ensure architectural consistency across the neighborhood.

Commercial Property Consulting

Starting at $3,000
Strategic landscape planning for office campuses, retail centers, multifamily properties, and mixed-use developments. Includes microclimate analysis, traffic and visibility considerations, material durability recommendations, risk identification, and aesthetic guidelines aligned with commercial branding and operational needs.

Institutional Site Consulting

Starting at $8,500
High-complexity consulting for botanical gardens, waterfront institutions, municipal environments, and ecological restoration projects. Focus areas include soil rehabilitation, ecological resilience, plant community design, environmental compliance, and performance-driven planting strategies.

Pennate’s involvement with large-scale botanical institutions directly informs this service tier.

Elite Property Masterplan Blueprint

$25,000 – $50,000 (invite-only)
For luxury estates, waterfront compounds, and multi-acre residences requiring a full-site engineering-and-design strategy executed with institutional-level precision. Includes microclimate zoning, soil and drainage mapping, phased plant architecture, irrigation and utility considerations, and a multi-year installation roadmap.

Designed for owners who want their landscape planned with the longevity and sophistication of a botanical garden.
