Nicole Jones
Landscape Designer
Hi! I’m Nicole and I love being a landscape designer!
My love for the outdoors, ornamental plants, and landscaping began at a young age. Through the years, I have developed a diverse knowledge of the horticulture and landscape industry. Landscaping with Florida natives has become my passion because it mixes my affinity for the outdoors with my love for gardening/landscaping.
Zack Pitchford
Landscape Consultant
My work focuses on central and southwest Florida plant material, with an emphasis on coastal habitats and inspiration from Craig Reynolds, LA.
My close ties to the coastal regions of Florida keep a continuous area of independent study, identifying plants in the wild and how they may work in a built landscape to mimic their environmental importance and beautify the landscape.
