Landscaping on Amelia Island
Fernandina Beach sits at the north tip of Amelia Island, the northernmost barrier island in Florida, and it carries a character no other beach town in the region shares. Its 50-block Victorian historic district is one of the largest in the state, full of restored 19th-century homes on shaded lots, while the eastern side of the island runs to oceanfront estates and the high-end Omni and Ritz-Carlton resort communities. Salt, sand, and historic preservation all factor into the same market.
We serve the downtown historic district, the oceanfront and resort areas on the Atlantic side, and the established neighborhoods between, across Nassau County’s Amelia Island.
Salt-Tolerant Plantings and Island Soil
Amelia Island is coastal sand with full salt exposure on the Atlantic side, so the planting palette follows the coastal rule: Floratam St. Augustine turf plus sea grape, sabal palm, saw palmetto, muhly grass, coontie, and yaupon. Under the live oaks of the historic district, we shift to shade-tolerant St. Augustine and shade beds, keeping plantings in scale with the Victorian architecture rather than over-building.
Slow-release feeding suits the sandy soil, and corrosion-resistant irrigation stands up to the island salt air.
Historic Character and Resort-Grade Finish
Fernandina is both a historic town and a luxury resort destination, and both ends of that demand a high finish. In the historic district we respect period character and mature canopy; in the resort and estate areas we deliver the polished, detail-driven maintenance those properties expect. Hardscape, from courtyard patios downtown to oceanfront fire features, is built on bases that handle coastal sand.
