Why Sea Pines Landscaping is Unique

Sea Pines isn't just a neighborhood; it's a carefully preserved ecosystem. The Sea Pines Community Services Association (CSA) has specific architectural and landscaping covenants designed to maintain the community's natural, cohesive beauty. This means:

  • Design Approval is Mandatory: All significant landscape changes require pre-approval from the CSA Architectural Review Board.

  • Native Species are Prioritized: The use of indigenous, salt-tolerant plants is encouraged to preserve the local character and environment.

  • Uniformity Matters: Landscapes should complement the natural surroundings, not stand out from them.

Navigating these rules can be complex, but ScaperPro has years of experience designing and installing CSA-compliant landscapes that exceed expectations.
