    Benefits of a Florida-Friendly Community


    More in this Section


    A Florida-Friendly community takes all aspects of the community landscape into consideration. Landscapes are designed to incorporate plants that will have the most success with minimal maintenance once established. State-of-the-art irrigation equipment is used, and both in-house and contracted maintenance staff are required to follow Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ principles. As a result, the community can cut costs on maintenance, improve water quality, and have a healthier landscape to enjoy.
