Landscaping Solutions for Florida HOAs & Condos
Maintain attractive, healthy common areas with landscaping programs designed around Florida's climate and your community's needs.
Why Community Landscaping Matters
Landscaping creates one of the first impressions residents, guests, and prospective buyers have of a community. Florida's climate, heavy rain, heat, storms, irrigation requirements, and rapid plant growth can also make maintaining those grounds challenging.
Without consistent oversight, landscaping issues can affect curb appeal, budgets, irrigation systems, and resident satisfaction.
The Campbell Solution
Campbell helps associations create landscaping plans based on the property's size, plant material, irrigation needs, maintenance expectations, and seasonal conditions. Our local knowledge allows us to coordinate routine care while also responding to the landscaping challenges unique to Florida communities.
Landscaping Designed for Florida Communities
Develop schedules for mowing, trimming, pruning, edging, fertilization, and other recurring services based on the needs of the property.
Proper irrigation plays a major role in plant health and water usage. Maintenance can include monitoring problems and coordinating appropriate irrigation service.
Regular property reviews help identify declining areas, incomplete service, plant health concerns, and opportunities to improve overall appearance.
Refresh entrances, common spaces, clubhouse areas, and other prominent locations with planned enhancements appropriate for the community.
Florida weather can create sudden landscaping needs. Campbell can help coordinate preparation and response when storms result in debris, damaged trees, or other landscape issues.
Landscaping programs can be adapted for HOAs with extensive common areas, condominium properties, high-rise grounds and entrances, and developer communities preparing to create a strong first impression for buyers.

How often should an HOA's landscaping be maintained?
There is no single schedule appropriate for every property. Frequency depends on the season, plant material, turf, irrigation, property size, community expectations, and local growing conditions.
Can Campbell help improve landscaping without replacing everything?
Yes. A landscape review can help identify targeted improvements, underperforming areas, irrigation concerns, maintenance changes, and enhancement opportunities before major replacement is considered.
Who monitors the landscaping contractor's performance?
The association's management team can help inspect the property, document concerns, communicate with the landscaping provider, and follow up on recurring service issues.
How are storm-related landscaping issues handled?
Storm response varies depending on the severity and conditions. Management can coordinate with landscape and tree-service providers to assess damage, prioritize cleanup, and address affected common areas.
Can Florida HOAs restrict Florida-friendly landscaping?
An HOA cannot prohibit a homeowner from using Florida-friendly landscaping practices, but it may still enforce reasonable landscaping standards that do not conflict with Florida law.
Who is responsible for landscaping maintenance in an HOA?
Responsibility depends on the association’s governing documents. The HOA typically maintains common areas, while homeowners are usually responsible for their individual lots unless the association provides landscaping as part of its services.
What are typical HOA landscaping guidelines in Florida?
Common rules may address approved plants, lawn maintenance, tree trimming, irrigation, edging, mulch, landscape borders, and changes visible from the street. Requirements vary by community and must comply with applicable Florida law.
Do HOA landscaping contracts require competitive bidding?
They can. If a landscaping contract exceeds 10% of the HOA’s total annual budget, including reserves, Florida law generally requires competitive bidding unless an exception applies.
How often should HOA common-area landscaping be maintained?
There is no single required schedule. Maintenance frequency depends on the property, season, plant types, irrigation needs, and the service level established in the association’s landscaping contract.
