Plenty of yards around here started beautiful and slowly drifted into something tired, overgrown, or just plain dated, leaving you stuck looking at a space that no longer feels like yours. Great Scapes Landscaping & Lighting turns that around with landscape installation for properties in Fort Myers, FL, and the surrounding areas, breathing fresh life into yards that have seen better days. Whether your place needs a full do-over or a focused refresh, we bring the new look to life and hand it back ready for you to enjoy.
Great Scapes Landscaping & Lighting is a locally owned landscaping company serving property owners throughout Southwest Florida. We do full landscape rehabs, remodels, re-mulching, re-rocking, and complete design and reinstallation, taking each project from worn-out to refreshed. Our crew handles every job from start to finish, so you work with one dependable landscaping contractor the whole way and never get passed off to someone else.
We see it constantly around Southwest Florida. A yard that looked sharp when you moved in has gradually turned overgrown, patchy, and dated, and now you step outside to a space that feels more like a chore than a place you actually enjoy.
Most of the time it's just the slow march of our climate doing its thing. Our heat, heavy rain, and sandy soil wear plants down. Mulch breaks apart and washes away. Rock beds scatter and fade, and overgrown hedges swallow up whatever shape the yard used to have. None of it happens overnight, so you barely notice until one day the whole place looks tired, and you're not sure where to even start.
We take that off your plate by handling the full transformation ourselves. After we walk the property and pin down what's working and what isn't, our crew rips out the overgrown and worn-out stuff, then rebuilds with fresh plantings, new mulch, clean rock, and a layout that actually fits your home. For yards that are too far gone for a touch-up, we do a complete design and reinstallation from a clean slate, with the same team seeing it through from start to finish.
The result is a yard that feels brand new and like yours again. Your beds look full and intentional, the front of the house frames your home instead of hiding it, and the backyard becomes somewhere you want to hang out.
Our landscape installation services help restore worn, outdated, or unfinished outdoor spaces with a plan tailored to the property.
Some yards are too far gone for a patch job, and that's where a clean slate comes in. Our full design and reinstallation strips out the old, reworks the layout, and rebuilds the space from the ground up. As your landscaping service for the whole project, we manage every phase so the finished yard feels brand new.
Yards that have slipped over the years often just need the right hands to bring them back. We rehab overgrown, patchy, or dated spaces and remodel them into something you'll actually want to spend time in. Working as your landscaper, we handle everything from reshaping beds to reworking the entire yard footprint.
First impressions start at the street, and a sharp front yard sets the tone for your whole home. We rework your front garden with fresh plantings, clean edges, and a layout that frames the house instead of hiding it. A thoughtful update to the front of your house can lift your curb appeal in a single weekend's work.
Fresh ground cover does more for a yard than most folks expect. Laying down new mulch revives tired beds, locks in moisture, and gives everything a crisp, finished look, while re-rocking replaces faded or scattered stone with a clean, even spread. Both go a long way toward making your backyard feel cared for again.
Even a beautiful yard can feel off-limits at night when the walkways, seating areas, and best landscape features fade into the dark. Our landscape lighting services help bring those spaces back into view with custom lighting for patios, pool areas, paths, fountains, decks, balconies, columns, planting beds, and outdoor gathering spots.
No one really wants to climb a ladder every time the house needs to look festive or polished after sunset. Our permanent lighting services provide homes and businesses with built-in options for rooflines, docks, patios, architectural features, outdoor LED lighting, smart controls, color changes, and year-round curb appeal.
A holiday display should make people smile, not make you wonder why every strand of lights waited until December to tangle itself. Our holiday lighting services include custom designs, roofline lights, tree and shrub lighting, walkway accents, LED Christmas systems, discreet wire placement, timers, smart controls, seasonal support, takedown, and organized storage options.
When outdoor surfaces start looking plain, uneven, or worn out, pavers can give the space a more finished look without making it feel too formal. Our paver installation services cover patios, driveways, walkways, pool decks, fire pit areas, seating areas, and commercial areas.
Screened outdoor spaces need lighting that feels easy on the eyes and useful around steps, pool edges, and seating areas. For lanai lighting, we install Nebula or cap-style fixtures on pool cage beams to create a soft downward glow, using corrosion-resistant materials suited to Southwest Florida humidity and salt air.
A well-planned yard starts with a design that shows how plants, lighting, hardscapes, and open space will work together before the project begins. Our landscape design services can include designer input, 2D and 3D render videos, plant selections, hedge removal ideas, botanical updates, residential layouts, condo and apartment concepts, and clubhouse lighting planning.
Watering trouble can show up in annoying ways, like puddles near one zone and crispy grass in another. Our irrigation repair services include inspections, troubleshooting, sprinkler system repairs, drainage correction, oversaturation fixes, emergency repairs, and residential or commercial irrigation system repairs.
A landscape installation should feel organized, friendly, and easy to follow from the first walk-through to the finished outdoor space.
Estimates and consultations won't cost you a thing, and you can request a lighting demo to see our work up close before deciding.
Qualifying landscape installations come with a one-year plant warranty so your new greenery has time to settle in and thrive, while our holiday lighting includes 24/7 seasonal support whenever something needs attention.
Family-owned and rooted right here, we put our name behind every yard we install and treat each customer like a neighbor long after the work wraps up.
Our lighting runs on S4 Lights, a commercial-grade lighting and décor company known for high-performance LED systems built for holidays, special events, and year-round architectural displays.
Landscape installation can take a few days to several weeks, depending on the size of the yard, the amount of plant work, and whether the project includes remulching, re-rocking, or a full outdoor refresh. Larger properties, front-yard landscaping, backyard landscaping, and full design-and-reinstallation projects usually require more time.
Professional landscape installation may include plant placement, bed preparation, remulching, re-rocking, landscape rehab, outdoor updates, and full design-based reinstallation. In Florida, the process should also consider sun exposure, drainage, plant selection, and how the finished space will handle heat and rainy seasons.
Many Florida landscape installation projects work well during milder months or before the rainy season, depending on the plants and project goals. A landscaper can help choose the right timing so new plants have better conditions to settle in and the outdoor space is ready when you want to enjoy it.
Homeowners should update front yard landscaping when plants look overgrown, sparse, damaged, outdated, or out of place with the home's style. A fresh landscape installation can improve curb appeal, make the entry feel more welcoming, and help the property look more pulled together.
A landscaping contractor understands plant placement, bed layout, soil conditions, drainage, mulch, rock, and how each part of the yard should work together. Professional landscape installation can save homeowners from mismatched plants, poor spacing, and outdoor areas that require rework sooner than expected.
