Sustainable Landscape Design
Our approach to sustainable landscape design focuses around beauty, practicality, diversity, and allowing ecology to guide. We take a long term approach to our design, allowing the plants to grow into the yard. Our design is a unique solution for each client, their specific location, and their use of the space. Our goal is for you to enjoy the creative edge. We pride ourselves in providing to each customer, not just color or clean lines but, specific need based collaborative approach to using the whole space for years to come.
Landscape Maintenance
Our maintenance crew is trained to perform all tasks in the garden and landscape. We are constantly working on creating a balance in the soil and allowing the plants to perform optimally at their specific times of the season. Proper pruning, organic weed control, south florida native plants, and water management are all aspects used to achieve the balance of a sustainable landscape.
LiquidVitae Organic Fertilization
There is a problem with ocean algae and reef ecology. Chemical fertilizers are part of the problem, we are part of the solution. Liquid Vitae was created to fundamentally change the view of plant growth and nourishment. The goal is to bring symmetry and nutrients to plants on land while enhancing the ocean’s balance. Our research and development is continuous.
Irrigation and Water Conservation
Using irrigation as a supplement for watering plants is many times necessary in our Florida climate. Sustainable irrigation incorporates water conservation and proper configuration of the sprinkler system to acheive maximum plant health. We have developed our methodology with the plant through education and experience. We believe water is a precious resource and spray the right amount of water for each plant and species.

Drainage
Creating drainage is a vital aspect for many landscapes in South Florida, many times overlooked. We believe moving water responsibly is more than pushing water away from a structure. We practice drainage techniques providing protection to your home, building, landscape, and surrrounding environment.
Our Mission
The mission of Sustainscape, Inc. is to develop innovative practices creating a sustainable landscape in South Florida. Promote the growth of indigenous plants to preserve natural biodiversity, and protect the community.
I recently moved back to Florida from Colorado where organic gardening is really popular and commonplace, and wasn't sure I'd be able to find a landscape company with a sustainable mindset and organic plants. Thankfully I found Dennis and Sustainscape! Even though my job was really small--they built a movable veggie box and planted 2 small trees in my townhouse courtyard--they couldn't have been more professional and helpful. Everything looks amazing and it even cost a little less than Dennis estimated. When does that ever happen?! My veggies are thriving in their nutrient dense organic soil and I can't wait to start the harvest!
We hired Sustainscape Landscaping to Consult and advise on our new junior Olympic size pool yard redesign. Dennis and his staff was very friendly, professional and conscious of our budget. I was provided a quote the next day after he reviewed my requirements. I was amazed to see how detailed oriented Dennis was in making my vision come to fruition, my backyard is 1acre and we could not have designed this tropical paradise without Sustainscape’s expertise. The staff was great to work with; very friendly and professional. I was kept informed of the progress at all times and we received a beautiful product. We have received many compliments on the Landscaping installed; and, I have already requested that two of my neighbors consider them for a project. Before making a decision, please consider Sustainscape on your next project. They are local and they know what will work best for your vision.
Sustainscapes installed our new landscaping after our pool installation and helped solve some drainage issues we were having. Dennis is very knowledgeable and easy to collaborate with. They installed exactly what we were looking for and was able to make it happen within our budget. Dennis was easy to communicate with and always on the job when he said he would be. Thank you!
We started a "covid garden" with a few zucchini and squash plants on our patio. The plants were struggling, not doing very well. We started using LiquidVitae weekly. After 4 weeks, the plants are very healthy, strong, no longer suffering and now producing flowers and beginning to produce fruit. We love the results and would definitely recommend using LiquidVitae. See the before and after photos below.
