At Legacy Landscape Group, we know that even a small landscape clean-up can make a big difference—especially when it comes to creating outdoor spaces that feel inviting and enjoyable. One of our recent projects in Mandeville involved just that: transforming a set of overgrown landscape beds into a cohesive, refreshed design perfect for relaxing by the pool or hosting friends outdoors.
The Vision
Our client wanted their landscape beds to feel neat, intentional, and low-maintenance. The area around their pool had become overrun with weeds and overcrowded plants, taking away from the relaxing atmosphere they envisioned. The goal was to enhance the space with a design that was tidy, attractive, and ideal for entertaining.
The Process
We started with a full landscape evaluation to determine what should stay, what needed to be removed, and how to create a unified look that complemented the pool area.
- Selective Plant Removal: We cleared out overgrown and unwanted plants to open up the space and create room for a more streamlined layout.
- Soil Enrichment: Garden soil was added to refresh the beds and create a healthy foundation for new plantings.
- Intentional Planting: We introduced a blend of flax lilies, foxtail ferns, and dwarf Radican gardenias—plants chosen for their texture, beauty, and compatibility with the local climate and dappled poolside sunlight.
- Weed Control: A pre-emergent was applied to help prevent future weed growth and maintain a polished look.
- Mulching: We finished with a fresh layer of pine straw mulch, giving the beds a crisp, manicured appearance while helping with moisture retention and weed suppression.
The Result
The finished space now complements the pool area perfectly—offering a refined, cohesive look that makes it easy to enjoy a quiet afternoon by the water or entertain guests in a well-kept, welcoming environment. With vibrant greenery, structured planting, and professional mulching, the landscape now feels both relaxed and elevated.
