Islamorada, the Village of Islands, marks the southern edge of our service area, a string of oceanfront estates, resorts and bayfront homes across Plantation Key, Windley Key and the Matecumbes. Keyscape builds resort-grade landscapes throughout.
One local crew, the whole yard, designed, built and maintained for Islamorada properties.
Islamorada's oceanfront and bayfront estates face the harshest salt exposure in our range. We specify materials and plants that thrive in it, building resort-grade outdoor spaces that match the Village of Islands' high-end character.
Islamorada sits in USDA zone 11a on a spine of oolitic limestone and coral rock, ringed by salt water on both sides. What grows and lasts here isn't what works on the mainland. Here's how we design landscapes for it.
Most Islamorada lots are limestone and coral rock with little native topsoil. We plant into properly prepared beds with imported planting mix, raised where needed, so roots establish instead of stalling in rock.
Oceanfront and bayfront yards take constant salt spray and hard sun. We lean on proven salt-tolerant species and coastal-rated materials so a landscape still looks resort-grade after a few seasons, not scorched.
Hurricane exposure shapes every choice — wind-firm palms and trees, anchored hardscapes and drainage that handles a Keys downpour. We also design to the Village of Islamorada landscape code, which protects native vegetation and regulates tree removal and land clearing.
Salt-tolerant natives and Florida-Friendly species we design with for Islamorada properties:

From Plantation Key through Windley Key and the Matecumbes, we serve the full Village of Islamorada, our southernmost service area.
Nearby areas we also serve
Yes. Islamorada, the Village of Islands, is the southern edge of our service area. We build resort-grade landscapes across Plantation Key, Windley Key and Upper and Lower Matecumbe.
Yes. We specialize in high-end oceanfront and bayfront properties, with salt-tolerant designs, hardscapes and lighting built to handle direct coastal exposure.
Yes. We focus on Key Largo down to Islamorada so our crews stay local and responsive; we don't take projects past Islamorada.
Salt-tolerant natives and Florida-Friendly species handle Islamorada's zone 11a heat, coral-rock ground and coastal salt best — gumbo limbo, silver and green buttonwood, sea grape, coco plum, thatch and cabbage palms, saw palmetto and beach sunflower among them. We match species to each site's sun, salt and wind exposure.
The Village of Islamorada regulates native vegetation, tree removal and land clearing under its landscape code, so some work does require a permit or review. We design to the Village's requirements and flag what applies to your property; final permitting is confirmed with the Village of Islamorada.
Islamorada is built on oolitic limestone and coral rock with little natural topsoil, sits in USDA zone 11a, and takes salt spray, intense sun and hurricane-force wind. Designs that ignore those conditions fail fast, which is why local plant selection, soil prep and coastal-rated materials matter here.
