Fort Myers, where the river sets the pace.
Fort Myers is the river city of Southwest Florida - the Caloosahatchee moving wide and slow past riverfront estates, royal palms lining McGregor Boulevard, gulf-access canals threading the neighborhoods south of the bridges. Properties here are defined by the water they touch and the canopy above them, and the best Fort Myers landscapes honor both.
Designing on the river.
Fort Myers reads differently than the coast. The Caloosahatchee brings a broader waterline, older tree canopies, and estates that face the water across generous lawns rather than dune lines. Salt still travels upriver on the tide, storms still test every structure, and the sun is the same sun - but the pace of the place is set by the river.
Our approach is the same discipline we bring everywhere in Southwest Florida: design honestly for the climate. Wind-rated structures, species matched to the site's real exposure, and materials that age gracefully. A Fort Myers landscape should feel inevitable on its site - like the river planned it.
What we design in Fort Myers.
Riverfront landscape
Caloosahatchee frontage designed as a single experience - the lawn terracing to the seawall, dock landscapes, and plantings that frame the water without fighting it.
Gulf-access pool design
Pools for canal estates south of the bridges - resort-caliber pools, integrated spas, and equipment engineered for salt air and storm season.
Estate canopy and garden restoration
Fort Myers holds some of the oldest tree canopy on the coast. We design under and around it - restoring mature gardens, rebuilding storm-damaged landscapes, planting for the next generation of shade.
Hurricane-resilient outdoor structures
Pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and pool surrounds engineered to current wind codes. Beautiful in calm weather, built for the storm.
McGregor corridor frontages
The palm-lined streets of the McGregor corridor call for formal frontages done with restraint - motor courts, specimen palms, and lighting that lets the architecture speak.
Common questions.
Do you take projects in Fort Myers?
Yes. Our work runs the full Southwest Florida coast, from Fort Myers and Cape Coral down through Naples to Marco Island. River, canal, and gulf-access properties are all familiar ground.
Can you design for riverfront and canal properties?
Yes. Fort Myers design is shaped by the Caloosahatchee - seawall transitions, dock landscapes, and plantings that handle both river frontage and the salt that moves upriver on the tide.
Do you handle storm recovery and replanting?
We do. Much of Fort Myers rebuilt its outdoor spaces in recent years, and we design landscapes that recover well - wind-rated structures, resilient species, and layouts that protect the investment.
What does a Fort Myers project typically take?
From first site walk to final installation, typically nine to fifteen months depending on scope and permitting.
“On the river the design has to be patient. The Caloosahatchee does not perform - it moves. The landscape should move with it.”
