About Bayside Native Landscaping

Out toward Cockroach Bay the mangroves hold the edge of the water, and behind them grow the plants that have always belonged here — sabal palm, saw palmetto, coontie, muhly grass that goes pink and smoky in the fall. Bayside Native Landscaping brings that palette into Ruskin yards, planting beds that can take the salt wind, the sandy ground and the long dry stretch between rains. The mowing, edging and trimming happen too, week in and week out, but the joy is in a bed that fills in and starts feeding butterflies. Mulch goes down, weeds come out, shrubs get shaped to their own habit rather than into boxes. A yard here can end up looking like the coast it actually sits on.
