Florida Landscape Design
Florida Landscape Design Services
Professional landscape design built specifically for Florida properties—grounded in horticulture, engineering thinking, and real-world installation experience.
Every recommendation considers how your landscape will actually be built, maintained, and used. From plant selection and site conditions to long-term growth and budget, Pennate develops practical landscape designs that help you make informed decisions before investing in installation.
Pennate Workspace is available to keep site information, preferences, files, communication, and design work connected in one project record. Open Workspace.
Designing with intention. Adjusting with reality.
Florida-based. Fixed-price packages. Clearly defined scope. Professional deliverables.
Why Pennate?
Designed Around Real Conditions
Sun exposure, drainage, irrigation, salt, wind, mature plant size, maintenance, and existing site constraints all affect whether a landscape succeeds.
Pennate evaluates those conditions before recommending a design—not after problems appear.
Florida Is Not an Afterthought
Pennate is based in Florida and works within the same heat, humidity, storms, soils, pests, and plant availability our clients face.
Recommendations are developed for Florida properties rather than adapted from generic national templates.
Clear Scope Before Work Begins
Each design package clearly defines the project boundary, process, deliverables, revision allowance, and expected turnaround.
You know what Pennate is designing, what you will receive, and where the package ends.
Built With Installation in Mind
Pennate understands the gap between an attractive concept and a landscape that can actually be sourced, priced, installed, and maintained.
Design decisions account for spacing, quantities, available plant sizes, sequencing, contractor interpretation, and long-term growth.
The objective is not to produce the most dramatic rendering. It is to give you a defensible landscape plan before you spend money installing it.
How It Works
Pennate uses a structured design process so you know what information is needed, what happens next, and what you will receive.
Choose Your Service
Select the design package or consultation that best matches your project, property, and level of support.
Share Your Project Information
Provide photographs, measurements, priorities, existing conditions, inspiration, and other information needed to understand the project. If you use Pennate Workspace, information already added to your project can be used during the design process.
Project Review and Alignment
Pennate reviews the project, confirms the project boundary, and identifies any missing information or conditions that need clarification. Applicable packages include a Design Alignment Meeting before production begins.
Design Development
Your project is developed around the approved scope, Florida conditions, customer priorities, maintenance expectations, budget, and implementation realities.
Review and Delivery
Pennate provides the completed digital design package for review. Any included revision is consolidated and completed according to the selected service. Workspace users can also keep project communication, information requests, and deliverables connected to the project record.
A Defined Process From Start to Delivery
You will know what Pennate is designing, what information is still needed, what the package includes, and when to expect delivery. Workspace is available when you want one place to keep the project organized.

Tampa Bay Consultations
Located in the Tampa Bay Area?
Pennate’s Remote Landscape Design services are available to homeowners throughout Florida and are designed to provide a complete design experience without requiring an on-site visit.
Most projects can be completed using photographs, measurements, video, aerial imagery, and a collaborative Design Alignment Meeting. This remote-first process allows work to begin sooner while reducing travel costs and scheduling constraints.
For homeowners in the Tampa Bay region, limited on-site consultations are also available when a property would benefit from direct field observation. This may be appropriate for larger sites, complex existing conditions, renovation projects, drainage concerns, or projects with multiple interacting areas.
An on-site consultation is not required for most properties. When the site can be accurately documented through photographs and basic measurements, the remote process is typically the faster and more cost-effective option.
Need a Recommendation?
Not Sure Which Service Fits Your Project?
Choosing the right design service shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Every property has different goals, constraints, and levels of complexity, and not every project requires the most comprehensive package.
If you’re unsure where to begin, contact Pennate before purchasing. We’ll review your project, answer your questions, and recommend the level of guidance that best fits your needs.
Our objective is to recommend the simplest service that accomplishes your goals—not the most expensive one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question before purchasing? These answers address the topics we hear most often from homeowners considering Remote Landscape Design.
Can this really be done remotely?
Yes. Most residential landscape projects can be designed accurately using photographs, measurements, aerial imagery, videos, and the information you provide during the Design Alignment Meeting. The remote process is the standard workflow for Pennate and is suitable for homeowners throughout Florida.
How do I know which package is right for me?
If you already have a landscape idea, contractor proposal, or AI-generated plan and want professional feedback, begin with the AI Landscape Reality Check. If you want a planting plan for one defined landscape area, choose the Florida Planting Concept. If you’re unsure, contact Pennate before purchasing and we’ll recommend the simplest service that meets your goals.
Do I need accurate measurements?
Basic dimensions greatly improve the design process, but professional survey information is not required for most residential projects. Simple measurements, photographs, and videos are typically sufficient to begin.
Will you recommend plants that grow well in my area?
Yes. Plant recommendations are developed specifically for Florida conditions while considering sunlight, drainage, available space, maintenance expectations, and the goals of your project—not simply what is popular or commonly installed.
Do you help identify places to purchase plants?
The Florida Planting Concept and future Landscape Design package include plant sourcing guidance. Pennate identifies potential nurseries within approximately 50 miles that may carry the recommended plants. Availability, pricing, public access, and wholesale account requirements cannot be guaranteed.
Can I install the landscape myself?
Absolutely. Many homeowners use Pennate’s recommendations to complete projects themselves, while others provide the design to a landscape contractor for pricing and installation. The design is intended to help you make informed decisions regardless of who performs the work.
Do you provide installation or landscaping services?
Pennate focuses on landscape design, planning, and consulting. Installation services are not part of the Remote Landscape Design program.
How long does the process typically take?
Turnaround varies depending on project scope and current workload. Estimated timelines are provided with each service. If you use Workspace, project progress, information requests, and deliverables can stay connected to the same project record.
What is Pennate Workspace?
Pennate Workspace is an optional project record for organizing site information, goals, photos, measurements, inspiration, files, communication, and Pennate design work. You can create a Workspace project before purchasing a design service, use it with Pennate during a project, or choose not to use Workspace at all.
