Understanding Your Plantation: Rules, Styles, and Needs
Each community on Hilton Head Island has distinct covenants, architectural guidelines, and environmental factors.
Sea Pines: The largest and most iconic plantation. The Sea Pines CSA has stringent landscape guidelines to preserve its natural beauty. Expertise in native plantings, pine straw mulching, and HOA compliance is critical here.
Palmetto Dunes: A resort-style community known for its golf, lagoons, and tennis. Landscaping here often requires a lush, tropical look with meticulous maintenance to meet high aesthetic standards.
Forest Beach: Comprising North and South Forest Beach, this area offers direct ocean access or short walks to the beach. Landscapes must be salt-tolerant and often require privacy plantings.
Other Premier Communities: From the privacy of Wexford Plantation and Long Cove Club to the golf courses of Shipyard and Port Royal, each area demands a specialized approach.
The Complete Guide to Hilton Head Landscape Services
Premier Lawn Care & Maintenance
What it is: Weekly or bi-weekly mowing, edging, blowing, and bed maintenance.
Why it's different here: HOA standards require precision. Grass must be cut at specific heights, and edging must be crisp and clean. We ensure your property is always "inspection-ready."
Expert Irrigation Repair & Management
What it is: Fixing leaks, repairing broken heads, optimizing controllers, and installing smart Wi-Fi technology.
Why it's different here: Sandy soil hides leaks, and salt air corrodes components. We use electronic leak detection and install Hydrawise smart controllers that save water and can be managed remotely—a must for vacation homeowners.
Pine Straw Installation & Bed Maintenance
What it is: The installation and refreshment of pine straw mulch beds, combined with weeding and pruning.
Why it's different here: Pine straw is the signature look of the Lowcountry. It must be installed at a proper depth and edged neatly to meet community standards and prevent wash-away.
Landscape Design & Installation
What it is: Creating beautiful outdoor living spaces with patios, walkways, lighting, and plantings.
Why it's different here: All designs must be pre-approved by the community's architectural review board. We handle the entire submission process, ensuring designs are compliant and enhance your property’s value.
Tree & Palm Care
What it is: Pruning, health assessment, and removal (if necessary) of palms and signature trees like Live Oaks.
Why it's different here: Improper "hurricane cutting" can kill palms. Our certified arborists provide expert care that preserves tree health and complies with preservation rules.
