An outdoor space should feel like it belongs to your home, not like a design copied from somebody else’s yard. Romy Landscaping & Design helps South Florida property owners plan, refresh, and build landscapes that look natural, feel welcoming, and work for everyday life.
Need a landscaper in Miami to rethink a tired front yard, install fresh sod, choose the right greenery, or create a walkway that ties everything together? We listen to what you want, consider what your property needs, and help you move forward with a clear plan.
Good landscape design is about more than filling empty space with plants. The layout should welcome you home, make the entrance feel complete, provide the right balance of color and greenery, and leave room for plants to grow. It should also make sense in Miami’s heat, heavy rains, and year-round growing conditions.
Romy Landscaping & Design is a family-owned landscape company serving Miami-Dade, Broward, and surrounding South Florida communities. We take a personal approach because the best results come from understanding how you use your outdoor space, what you like about it now, and what you want to change. You have a say in the details, and we help turn those ideas into a practical design and installation plan.
Some clients arrive with inspiration photos and a complete vision. Others simply know their yard needs help. Both are good places to start. Learn more about our family-owned company or talk to us about the ideas you have in mind.
A successful design starts with the existing property, not a standard template. We look at the layout, sun exposure, visual balance, and how different areas connect, then help select a mix of plants and features that fits the home and your preferences. The goal is to create an intentional landscape that looks cohesive today and has room to develop over time. Explore our landscape design services.
A thoughtful plan deserves careful installation. Our team brings landscape concepts to life through plant placement, garden enhancements, ground treatments, and the finishing details that make everything work as one outdoor space. Projects can focus on a particular area or a broader property refresh. See how we approach landscape installation.
Bare spots, uneven coverage, and worn grass can take away from the appearance of an otherwise well-kept home. Sod installation creates a new lawn surface, but preparation, grass selection, and proper watering matter just as much as the day it is laid. We evaluate the condition of the area and discuss the best next steps for a healthier-looking yard. Learn about our sod installation services.
A walkway should guide people naturally through the property and look like it belongs there. We help create paths that connect driveways, entrances, gardens, and gathering areas while considering circulation, materials, drainage, and the style of the home. Browse our walkway installation services.
The right planting combination can soften a home’s exterior, create a focal point, add screening, and bring color into an underused space. We consider plant size, growth habits, available light, and the overall look you want before recommending flowers, shrubs, palms, and tropical greenery. Plant selection and placement can be part of a larger landscape installation project.
Sometimes the landscape looks unfinished because the surrounding hard surfaces need attention. Pressure washing helps remove built-up dirt and surface grime from suitable outdoor areas, giving existing features a cleaner appearance alongside new landscaping. We can discuss the surfaces involved and the appropriate cleaning approach during your estimate. See our full service overview.
A yard can have beautiful plants and still feel disconnected. We pay attention to how the individual parts work together so the finished space has a clear sense of direction.
Palms, flowering accents, shrubs, and layered foliage can bring depth and movement to a property. We select and arrange greenery with the home’s architecture and the space available in mind, avoiding a crowded look that becomes harder to manage as plants mature.
The front yard sets the tone for the entire home. A more defined entry, better-balanced planting areas, a cleaner lawn, and a clear path to the door can create a noticeable change without redesigning every inch of the property.
Not every homeowner wants a complicated outdoor space. We can discuss practical plant choices, spacing, ground treatments, and layout decisions that fit the level of care you are comfortable providing. A lower-maintenance design still needs the right care, but it can be easier to live with.
Landscape design is the planning stage, landscape installation is the physical work of creating the space, and sod installation focuses on establishing a new grass surface. A project may involve one or more of these services, depending on how much of the yard you want to change.
| Service | Best starting point | Primary focus |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape design | You want a new layout, plant combination or coordinated plan for several areas. | Planning the placement, appearance and relationships between lawn, plants, paths and existing features. |
| Landscape installation | You have a plan or a clear goal and are ready to make physical changes. | Adding and arranging landscape elements so the finished yard feels cohesive. |
| Sod installation | Your priority is a worn, bare or inconsistent lawn. | Assessing the area, preparing the ground and laying fresh sod with establishment care in mind. |
| Walkway installation | The route to an entrance or between outdoor areas is missing or awkward. | Creating a defined path that fits the property and connects the spaces people use. |
Can you combine landscaping services in one project? Yes. A front yard redesign might include planting, sod and a new walkway, while a smaller update may require just one service. Romy Landscaping & Design can help you understand the scope before installation starts.

South Florida landscaping has its own set of considerations. Strong sun, seasonal downpours, sandy or variable soils, humidity, and coastal exposure can all affect what belongs in a particular yard. A plant that looks great in a reference photo may not be the best choice for every site.
Our approach is to consider where the sun falls, where water collects, how large plants may become, and how the property is used before settling on the details. Homes near the coast may need different plant choices than properties farther inland. The goal is a landscape that feels right for its setting, not one that only looks good on installation day.
We discuss the existing layout, site conditions, and the combination of landscape services that could help. Sometimes a focused lawn or planting update is enough. Other properties benefit from a more complete design.
A landscaping project is happening at your home or property. You deserve a team that pays attention to your ideas, communicates clearly, and takes the finishing details seriously.
A photo can explain the impact of good landscape design faster than a paragraph ever could. Explore recent examples of planting updates, sod installations, walkway improvements, and complete yard transformations to see the variety of work our team handles.
Look for the details: how plants frame the home, how the lawn and paths connect, and how the finishing touches pull everything together. Every project is different because every property starts from a different place.
We care about the final look of a property, but the experience getting there matters just as much. Clear communication, respect for your ideas, and pride in the finished work are values we want customers to notice.

Good South Florida landscaping starts with plant selection that matches real conditions, not just appearance. Sunlight, drainage, wind exposure, mature plant size and proximity to salt air influence what will work in a particular yard. Several Florida-native plants are worth considering, depending on the location and the look you want.
Cocoplum is a Florida-native shrub that can be used for hedges or as a landscape accent. It tolerates coastal conditions relatively well and can bring dense greenery to suitable areas. Before using it for screening, we would consider its growth form, how much room it has and how the planting will look as it matures.
Firebush adds warm-colored flowers and can attract pollinators and hummingbirds. It generally does well in sunny to partly shaded locations, but it is not a strong choice for exposed salty conditions. It can be a useful accent for the right inland Miami-area property, provided its mature size and watering needs fit the space.
Coontie is a Florida-native plant with a distinctive, palm-like appearance. It can provide a structured, low-growing element in planting beds and works in many sunny or partly shaded settings. Its eventual width matters, so it should be given enough space rather than crowded against paths or nearby plants.
Palms and tropical foliage can be excellent design elements, but species selection should follow the conditions on the property. A lawn that remains heavily shaded may also need a different solution than one that receives strong sun throughout the day. In some difficult areas, a planting bed or groundcover may be more practical than repeatedly replacing grass.
The University of Florida’s Florida-Friendly Landscaping guidance recommends matching plants to light, water needs and mature size. We use these same practical questions when discussing plant combinations for a property, and we help clients decide what to keep, replace or add during landscape design.
The cost of landscaping in Miami depends on the work being performed, the condition of the site and the materials selected. A small planting refresh and a complete front yard redesign are not comparable projects, so a useful estimate should describe what is included rather than rely on one generic price per yard.
Maybe you have a full landscape redesign in mind. Maybe you need to fix the lawn, add a few palms, or make the entrance feel more welcoming. Tell us what is working, what is not, and what you would like the space to become. We can help you figure out a sensible next step.
We provide custom landscape design, landscape installation, sod installation, walkway design and installation, plant and palm installation, and outdoor pressure washing. Projects can involve one service or several improvements coordinated into a larger yard refresh.
Yes. You can start with a few ideas, photos you like, or a description of the problems you want to solve. We discuss your property, preferences, and budget so you can make decisions about the layout and materials before work begins.
Yes. Romy Landscaping & Design offers free estimates. Share your location and the type of work you are considering, and we can discuss the next steps for reviewing your project.
The cost depends on the size and condition of the property, the design scope, site preparation, plant selection, sod area, and any walkway or other installation work involved. We provide an estimate based on your specific project rather than a one-size-fits-all price.
Yes. A front yard refresh can focus on the entry, planting areas, lawn, and walkways without changing the entire property. We can also discuss backyard or more comprehensive improvements if needed.
The existing lawn and ground conditions should be evaluated first. Proper preparation may include removing unhealthy grass, addressing uneven areas, and preparing the soil so the new sod has a better opportunity to establish. We discuss the preparation your property needs during the estimate.
The right choices depend on sunlight, drainage, available space, desired appearance, and coastal exposure. Palms, tropical foliage, flowering plants, and shrubs can all be part of a Miami landscape, but the specific varieties and placement should suit the site.
Project timelines vary based on the work involved, materials, site preparation, weather, and scheduling. A focused installation and a full landscape transformation have different requirements. We discuss the anticipated schedule when reviewing your project.
Often, yes. We can discuss which existing plants and landscape elements may fit the new layout. Their health, size, placement, and the changes you want to make help determine what can remain.
Our primary focus is landscape design and installation rather than routine mowing programs. We can discuss care considerations for your newly installed landscape and clarify the services available for your property.
We serve Miami-Dade and Broward counties and discuss select projects in Monroe County based on location and availability. Our existing local pages include Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Kendall, and Pinecrest. Contact us to confirm your address.
Review actual project photos, ask what services the company performs, explain your goals, and request an estimate that makes the proposed scope clear. A good fit should understand South Florida conditions and be willing to work with your ideas, not simply offer a standard package.
A better landscape starts with a conversation. Share what you would like to improve, and we will help you explore the right design or installation options for your property.
