Landscaping in Daytona Beach.

Your property, your priorities

Start with a plan for Daytona Beach.

A Daytona Beach landscape project should start with how the property works from the front entrance to the back fence. If water gathers beside a walkway, a new paved surface and the drainage plan need to be considered together. If the goal is an outdoor sitting area, shade, evening visibility and access may matter more than adding lawn. DMM Landscapes's six services give homeowners several ways to improve these spaces: drainage, low-voltage lighting, pavers, retaining walls, sod removal and installation, and artificial turf. The city's flood-protection resources provide useful background; measurements, observations and the intended use of your own property determine the project scope.

Before you choose the finish

Bring a survey if available, photographs taken after rain, and a sketch of the spaces you want to use differently. Mark doorways, roof runoff, existing drains and any boundaries you are uncertain about. Where a concern appears to involve a public drainage connection, use the city's assistance before assuming a private landscape change can resolve it. A coordinated plan can keep future lighting cables or drainage work from disturbing newly finished surfaces.

Bring the whole picture.

A useful estimate starts with your project address, a rough sketch of the work area and photos showing how it connects to the rest of the property. Include the access route, nearby trees, existing surfaces and any water concerns.

Choose one priority or combine related work. Planning drainage, finished surface heights and lighting routes together can help identify conflicts before new surfaces go in.
