Founder Juan Vargas found a passion for creating magic with his hands. Natures canvas taught him about light, color, texture and how to help craft a story with landscape. Our passion is to provide extraordinary landscapes and we do so with a tropical sensibility, deep experience, and love of the land to create places that stir the soul. Collaborating with clients and the best talent in the industry—JV is a team that builds and then maintains successful, enduring landscapes that complement and enhance their surrounding sites and architecture.
Miami is our back yard... literally.
Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. It is most often used in areas that were originally designed for grass. It is now being used on residential lawns and commercial applications as well. The main reason is maintenance—artificial turf stands up to heavy use, and requires no irrigation or trimming.
Nothing can transform a landscape, home and feature trees as a well designed lighting plan. Landscape lights allow you to enjoy the beauty of your property even when it's dark out. Make your landscape more dramatic, with well-placed outdoor spotlights and washes casting interesting shadows and highlighting your plants, water features with underwater lights and other ornamental elements. While focusing attention on your landscape's most important details, landscape lighting can also help guide you at night with thoughtful pathway illumination.
A landscaping designer should have ecological, aesthetic and technical experience, which helps them maximize the potential of your outdoor space. Keeping in mind both style and functionality, garden designers analyze your architecture and yard to produce a plan that may or may not include location and materials for walkways, patios, water features, fences, garden aspects and more. We will carefully assess your property to choose plants, trees and flowers that will flourish naturally, as well as address concerns such as drainage, screening and soil conditions.
Keeping your landscape green, vibrant, healthy, and beautiful is a job for experts. We offer regular lawn care services designed to ensure your landscape looks its best year-round. Landscape maintenance is much more affordable than replacement. It’s more cost-effective in the long run to schedule maintenance regularly than waiting until your landscape becomes unhealthy or damaged beyond repair. Committed to you and your property, we keep your landscape lush and beautiful one blade at a time.
We will rock you! From beach pebbles, black Mexican pebble, and river rock to landscape gravel, garden boulders and flagstone - We can create dramatic hardscape regardless of size. JV uses decorative gravels and stones for ground cover and larger sculptural boulders as features from ornamental design and water features to full on Japanese inspired gardens. Our stone ground cover application will last for years and won't attract bugs or termites.
New and re-sodding seems as though a simple DIY task and regretfully much of our business is re-sodding and we will be happy to provide a free quote. When we perform a sod installation , we make sure it is cut from the field the same day. Installing fresh cut sod helps ensure the best possible transition for your new sod. All of the sod we install is locally grown in South Florida. Installing local sod helps the new sod transition much better as the soil types are usually similar. Nothing transforms a tired and dull home as fresh sod.
We search the world for specialty and exotic plants to offer our customers. Some of these unusual tropical plants are locally sourced in South Florida and others are hybrids or new hybrids from regional and national sources. These specialty plants are not found at local garden centers and we take pride in hand selecting each specimen for both character and species. Carefully chosen and installed specialty plants is the icing on the cake when a splash of special is required.
As living art, landscapes need water and in the South Florida heat a well thought out sprinkler plan will ensure they will be green and hearty. An automatic sprinkler system is one of the best investments you can make to enhance your homes curb appeal. In addition to keeping your landscape healthy all season, an underground sprinkler system will help conserve water. There’s no easier or more cost-effective way to beautify the outdoor appearance of your home and increase its value while saving your time with no hassle.
We specialize in residential and commercial landscape maintenance and installations.
Our plants are sourced from local nurseries whenever possible. We hand select everything we install. From a small boutique back yard to a boutique hotel, we inspect everything to ensure your property will have the very best South Florida has to offer.
