About Gardens of Eden Landscaping

Shade is the scarcest thing on a coral island, which is why an old sapodilla or tamarind on Stock Island is worth more than any fence. Gardens of Eden Landscaping plants for that long view — hardwoods and natives that will hold ground, with mulch worked in to give the roots something better than bare rock. The routine work runs alongside it: mowing what lawn there is, edging the drive, trimming the hedges and weeding the beds before anything gets ahead. Building a garden here is partly building the soil, one barrow at a time, and the crew treats that as the real job. Years on, somebody stands in cool shade on a July afternoon and never thinks about how it got there.
