Florida Landscape Design Built on Engineering, Not Guesswork
Designing with intention. Adjusting with reality.
Florida’s landscapes fail for predictable reasons: wrong plant selection, zero respect for microclimates, irrigation shortcuts, and designs built for Pinterest—not Florida. Pennate exists to fix that. We design landscapes the same way we solve engineering problems: intentionally, mechanically, and with Florida-specific plant science guiding every decision.
Shop Florida Plants
Florida-proven plants backed by real horticultural science.
Our shop focuses on species that actually thrive in Florida—heat, humidity, salt, and all. We also offer select “indoor” plants that grow beautifully outdoors in the right USDA zones or protected microclimates.
Every plant we offer has been evaluated for real-world Florida performance so you know exactly what will work in your landscape, lanai, or home.
Florida Landscape Design & Installation
Pennate designs are built around how Florida actually behaves—heat, salt, drainage patterns, humidity, pests, and the occasional sideways hurricane.
Whether you’re refreshing a small front yard or rebuilding a waterfront property, we approach your landscape like a system, not a mood board.
What Makes Pennate Different
- Designs grounded in engineering logic
- Florida-specific plant selection
- Salt, wind, and microclimate analysis
- Irrigation that accounts for soil structure and evapotranspiration
- Maintenance expectations built in from the start
- No greenwashing, no buzzwords—just reality-based design
The Pennate Approach
Pennate is built on a simple philosophy: Design with intention. Adjust with reality. Landscaping isn’t a guessing game—it’s a predictable system governed by biology, water, soil, light, and physics.
Florida landscapes reward precision. Proper spacing prevents disease. The right root zone conditions prevent long-term decline. And the correct plant palette keeps your design stable through extreme weather. Pennate brings technical reasoning to every project because Florida doesn’t care about guesswork—it rewards preparation.
