Thank you for stopping by! My name is Scott Simpson and I’m the owner of Earthwise. The focus of Earthwise Horticultural Services is landscape design and installation for existing residential properties. Within that scope I offer a wide range of services. I can handle all aspects of the project from prep/removal to planting and installation to fine tuning the irrigation and drainage as well as outdoor lighting, hardscape, pergolas, sod, rocks, mulch and more. I emphasize the use of Florida Friendly and native plants so you have fewer problems. My approach is holistic in nature with an emphasis on long term success. Scroll down to see more photos and details about my landscape design and installation services.

Success in landscape improvements begins with a good plan. While planning your landscape we'll focus on things such as:

  • Choosing the correct plants that not only meet your preferences but are also naturally adapted to the conditions of the landscape.

  • Deciding where and what type of sod to use (if at all); and discussing what it takes to ensure long term success of the new lawn.

  • Problem solving for any trouble areas which includes the consideration of options and identification potential pitfalls.

  • Educating you so that once we are all done, you’ll know what to do in the short term after the installation, as well as long term.

  • Design & Installation of cost effective landscapes, with aesthetic appeal, and long term success.

Landscape Design Sanford Florida FL | EarthWiseFL

This is my specialty! Landscape re-design and installation for existing residential landscapes.

If you are considering a complete exterior overhaul, you've come to the right place. I can plan for a refreshed layout of plants, shrubs, trees, hardscapes, and sod. I can also integrate enhancements such as pergolas, water features, and low voltage landscape lighting. In conjunction with the project, I can also handle required irrigation modifications. I will not only handle the design and consultation phase, but I will also personally supervise the installation.

 

Hardscape and Natural Stone Services Orlando Florida FL | EarthWiseFL

The use of stone can add a distinctive accent to your landscape.  This pathway is centered in an island and connects with a bridge to a boat dock.  These stones near the dock are 3' x 4' in size! We set them in by hand at perfect level and stability fitting together each slab as it might naturally be found.

I do a variety of natural stone and paver work. I also do retaining walls.

 

Landscape Lighting System Design and Installation Winter Springs Florida FL | EarthWiseFL

Landscape lighting is an essential component of any comprehensive outdoor improvement project. Low voltage lighting adds warmth and distinction to any property.

Please keep in mind that I only do lighting projects in conjunction with larger landscape installations. I do not offer outdoor lighting system repair.

 

Structures in the Landscape Lake Mary Florida FL | EarthWiseFL

A pergola can add a unique touch of personality to any backyard. I can also help with arbors and trellises.

I custom build all my pergolas, arbors, and trellises. No kits. On the left you can see I designed a built a unique corner pergola with fanned out runners, perfectly symmetrical. I used matching hardware for assembly and finished the patio within using natural stone and short ornamental grass.

 

Sod Replacement and Installation | East Orlando Seminole County

Considering replacing your lawn?  St. Augustine or Zoysia lawns can thrive if installed and cared for right.  If you want long term success with your lawn, you have come to the right place.

The use and care of sod or turf in Florida is probably one of the most hotly debated topics in landscaping today. There are pros and cons but as long as you know what to expect then you can have a fabulous lawn. I make it a priority to educate my clients on best practices concerning lawn grass management. I also may sure to check every single box on the best practices for installation list I created for Earthwise.

 

Irrigation and Drainage

I am well equipped to handle both landscape irrigation and landscape drainage requirements related to your project.

Irrigation systems must be assessed, modified, and often repaired/updated whenever a landscape improvement project is implemented. Often, I can make improvements that are more efficient and will save money on your water bill.

Drainage must also be considered when working in the landscape. Typically, this must be addressed in almost every project. Grade improvements and drainage updates must also be implemented in conjunction with the landscape project. Problem solving landscape drainage issues is always a priority when considering a landscape design and outdoor improvement project.
