We all want a nice landscape that is not only functional but gives curb appeal.  Thankfully here in Sarasota our government has taken steps to educate the public about Sarasota Landscaping that is not only enviromentally friendly but addresses the resources that are wasted by poorly designed non maintenance freindly landscapes.  When designing a Sarasota low maintenance landscape make sure the plant selection is Florida native plant material that is from your region.  Shade trees are a big part of our enviroment, and if you plant them in the correct areas of your property they are more benaficial than any thing else you can plant.  Especially in Southwest Florida landscaping our harsh summers with brutal afternoon temps that can swell to over 100 degrees shade are a must for alot of plants, especially turf.  If you contact your local extension service and read some of the great information that is in every library and and book store in Sarasota,  or visit our web site, many links on how to design and maintain Sarasota irrigation systems and landscapes that will benefit your property along with our enviroment.
