Planted Right. Built to Last.

WesCo designs and installs landscapes across Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and Anna Maria Island. Beds shaped, plants matched to Florida sun and soil, and the whole property planned before anything goes in the ground.

Florida gives you a longer list than most places and a shorter margin for error. We plant palms, flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses and ground cover that hold up to full sun, sandy soil and a wet season, and we group them by how much water they actually want.

A bed line is the thing your eye follows, so it gets cut deliberately rather than mown around. Hard edges along walks and drives, gentle curves through open lawn, and a spade edge that holds its shape between visits.

Mulch is not decoration. It holds moisture, keeps soil temperature steady and stops weeds getting a start. Two to three inches, kept off the trunks, topped up rather than piled higher each year.

Square footage, how much has to come out before anything goes in, and plant size at install. Larger plants cost more and look finished sooner. We will tell you where that trade is worth making.

Plenty of neighborhoods here have rules about bed lines, plant height near the curb and what can go in a front yard. Check yours before you sign anything, with us or anyone else.

Landscaping explained

What actually decides whether a landscape lasts?

Most landscapes fail for one of two reasons. The wrong plant went in the wrong spot, or nobody thought past the day it was planted. We plan the whole property first, match every species to the sun and soil it is actually going into, and set the bed lines before a single plant is bought. That is the part you cannot see later, and it is the part that decides how it looks in year three.
The two things worth knowing before you start. Florida sun is harder on new plantings than anything else, and a bed that was never edged properly loses its shape by the second season. Both are decided before planting, not after.

How it works

How we build your landscape.

1.

We walk the yard

We walk the property with you, look at sun, soil and drainage, and find anything that changes the plan.

2.

Layout and beds

Bed lines get marked and cut, and utilities get located before anything is dug.

3.

Planting

Plants go in at the depth and spacing they want, grouped by the water they actually need.

4.

Mulch, edge, cleanup

Mulch goes down last, edges get cut clean, and every scrap leaves with us.
