Landscape Design & Lighting | St. Augustine, FL

Your landscape should do more than fill space around your home. It should improve how your property looks, support long-term plant health, and make outdoor areas easier to use and maintain. At Done Right Since 1985, we provide professional landscape design and installation services built around the needs of homes in Northeast Florida.

From the first layout to the final planting, our team creates outdoor spaces that match your property, your goals, and the local climate. Whether you want a complete front yard redesign, new sod, updated planting beds, or a full outdoor transformation, we focus on practical work that holds up over time.

We bring experience, planning, and craftsmanship to every project so your landscape is not only attractive on day one but also easier to manage in the seasons ahead.

A good landscape starts with a design that makes sense for the property. Soil conditions, drainage, sun exposure, maintenance needs, and curb appeal all matter. That is why we do not rely on generic plans or one-size-fits-all layouts.

Our landscape design service begins by looking at how your yard functions now and how you want it to look and perform in the future. Some homeowners want a cleaner, more polished front entrance. Others want a backyard with better flow, privacy, and plant balance. In either case, the design phase helps prevent wasted materials, poor plant placement, and avoidable maintenance issues.

We create layouts that consider:

Plant spacing and long-term growth
Seasonal color and texture balance
Drainage and irrigation needs
Lawn and bed transitions
Walkways, borders, and usable outdoor space

The result is a plan that fits your property instead of forcing your property to fit a standard design.

Once the design is approved, our team handles the installation with a clear process and close attention to detail. Our goal is to build landscapes that look complete, healthy, and clean from the start.

Our landscape design and installation services can include:

New planting beds
Shrub and tree installation
Sod placement
Mulch, rock, and decorative ground cover
Bed edging and layout improvements
Landscape updates for front yards and backyards

Installation is where experience matters. Correct grading, plant placement, spacing, and material selection all affect how the landscape performs after the project is finished. We focus on doing each part properly so the finished result looks balanced and stays easier to maintain.

Florida landscapes need a different approach than properties in other regions. Heavy rain, sandy soil, salt exposure in some areas, and long periods of heat all affect how outdoor spaces should be designed and installed.

As a team experienced in St. Augustine landscaping, we plan around local conditions instead of ignoring them. That means using suitable plants, making sure beds are laid out correctly, and paying attention to drainage and irrigation from the start.

This local experience helps homeowners avoid common problems such as the following:

Poor drainage around planting areas
Overcrowded plant layouts
Grass that struggles after installation
Beds that wash out during heavy rain
Landscape plans that require too much upkeep

A landscape should work with the environment, not against it.

A healthy lawn is one of the most noticeable parts of any property. If your grass is thinning, patchy, damaged, or beyond recovery, new sod may be the best solution.

We offer St. Augustine sod installation as part of complete landscaping projects and lawn improvement plans. New sod gives homeowners a faster way to restore curb appeal and create a cleaner, healthier outdoor appearance.

Our process includes:

Preparing the lawn area properly
Removing weak or damaged turf when needed
Leveling and improving the surface
Installing sod for uniform coverage
Making sure watering needs are addressed after installation

When done correctly, sod installation creates a more finished look and provides a stronger foundation for the rest of the landscape.

Sometimes a lawn does not need minor patching. It needs a reset. In those cases, lawn resodding can be a practical solution.

Resodding is often the right choice when:

Large sections of grass have died.
The lawn has become uneven or weak
Weeds have taken over.
Drainage or irrigation issues have damaged the turf.
The existing lawn no longer responds well to normal care

A fresh lawn changes the entire feel of a property. It also makes the surrounding planting beds, hardscape, and entry areas look more complete.

If lawn issues are being caused by irrigation problems or standing water, we can also recommend related improvements so the same issues do not return.

The right mix of plants and materials can make a yard look balanced without making it harder to maintain. We help homeowners choose options that match both the style of the property and the practical needs of the space.

This may include:

Foundation plantings
Accent shrubs
Privacy plant layouts
Trees for shade and structure
Mulch for clean bed coverage
Rock and stone for low-maintenance areas

Plant selection matters because the wrong choices often lead to overcrowding, weak growth, and constant replacement. Our team focuses on layouts that stay attractive as the landscape matures.

Outdoor lighting should do more than make a yard visible at night. It should improve safety, highlight the best parts of your property, and make your outdoor spaces more usable after sunset. At Done Right Since 1985, we provide professional landscape lighting services designed to add function, kerb appeal, and long-term value to homes across North-east Florida.

A well-planned lighting system can completely change how a property looks in the evening. Pathways become safer, patios feel more inviting, and architectural details stand out in a way they do not during the day. Whether you want to light a front entry, garden beds, walkways, entertaining areas, or key features around the home, our team creates custom solutions built around your layout and your goals.

We focus on practical lighting design, reliable installation, and systems that fit the way homeowners actually use their outdoor spaces.

Every property has different lighting needs. Some homeowners want a softer look that highlights landscaping and improves kerb appeal. Others want stronger coverage for security, visibility, and evening use.

Our landscape lighting installation services are designed around the layout of your home and yard. We consider:

Walkways and entry points
Patios, decks, and outdoor seating areas
Trees and planting beds
Architectural features
Driveways and transitions around the home
Areas where added visibility improves safety

This planning allows us to create a system that feels balanced instead of overly bright or poorly placed. Good outdoor lighting should support the property, not overpower it.

Safety is one of the most important reasons homeowners invest in outdoor landscape lighting. Dim walkways, dark corners, and poorly lit outdoor spaces create avoidable risks around the property.

Professionally installed lighting helps improve visibility in areas such as the following:

Front walkways
Garden paths
Driveway edges
Steps and elevation changes
Patio and deck transitions
Entry points around the home

The goal is to make the property easier to move through at night while keeping the overall appearance clean and natural.

Different parts of a property benefit from different lighting styles. A good system uses the right type of lighting in the right location instead of applying the same fixture everywhere.

Our lighting solutions may include:

Pathway Lighting

Used to guide movement and improve safety along walkways, garden paths, and entrances.

Accent Lighting

Used to highlight trees, planting beds, stonework, and focal points in the landscape.

Uplighting

Used to draw attention to architectural details, columns, larger trees, and textured surfaces.

Patio and Deck Lighting

Used to improve visibility and comfort in outdoor gathering spaces.

Security and Perimeter Lighting

Used to add peace of mind around darker areas of the property.

This layered approach helps create a more polished and useful lighting design.

Modern lighting systems should not add unnecessary upkeep or energy costs. That is why we focus on practical systems that offer strong performance without wasting power.

Our landscape lighting service can include LED-based solutions that provide:

Lower energy use
Longer fixture life
Cleaner light output
Reduced maintenance needs
Better long-term efficiency

LED lighting is a practical choice for homeowners who want dependable results and more control over how their outdoor system performs over time.
