Landscape Projects
The Meadows Residence
Clermont, 2011
Green Isle Gardens designed and installed this wildlife habitat restoration for the Meadows' local residence on five lakefront acres. This design included a mix of both Florida native and non-native plants.
The front yard was planted with large native trees on a heavily-mulched berm with an under-story of native shrubs and flowering perennials. With the passing of time, this landscape has become a forest-like habitat offering privacy, beauty, and low maintenance for the Meadows.

The Christie Residence
Windermere, 2011
In this project, both native and non-native plants were used. In the foreground, colorful bromeliads were placed on a sculptural driftwood support. Dense native shrubs and trees provide an evergreen backdrop.
The Burke Residence
Windermere, 2013
We began this residential landscape project in the summer of 2011. It is now a mature landscape with native wildflowers and grasses. Pine straw mulch was used for weed suppression, moisture retention and a lower pH. This landscape attracts birds, butterflies, pollinators, and other native wildlife. No mowing required!
First Green Bank
Mount Dora, 2015
First Green Bank is a local company that shares our vision: doing the right thing for our community, for each other, and for the world in which we live. The Mount Dora branch is a great example of a commercial project using native plants for a "Real Florida" appearance. Native plants ARE real Florida!
The Christie Residence
Windermere, 2016
A serene secret garden with a stone sculpture focal point. This project combines beauty with pollinator habitat. The three large bee boxes in the background offer pollinators of all sorts places to nest and overwinter.
The Barner Residence
South Orlando, 2016
The Barners hired Green Isle Gardens to create a native habitat for their lovely lakefront property.
The front yard features a main boardwalk with smaller, more intimate, stone paths throughout.
Native wetland plants added to the lakefront attract a variety of ducks and wading birds.
The Kalinich & Pelek Residences
The Villages, 2017
A view from above of two new native yards in The Villages: one with more turf, one with less. Mike and Michelle Peleck hired Green Isle Gardens to install a no-mow backyard native landscape mulched with pine straw. Carrie and Dave Kalinich chose a mix of turf and native-planted islands.
The Turnipseed Residence
The Villages, 2017
A great example of a maturing native landscape, Steve & Susan Turnipseed's native yard is more than two years old. The sand paths shown here offer a place for sand-nesting pollinators and other native creatures.
