Today, we’re taking a guided tour through a beautiful Atlantic Beach landscape transformation by Rockaway. This project exemplifies thoughtful design that blends aesthetics with functionality, perfect for the North Florida coastal environment.

Front Yard Flair: A Riot of Color and Practicality
First, let’s step into the vibrant front yard. We see a complete makeover with sweeping flower beds bursting with color. These beds feature Blue Daze, Lobelia, and Salvia – all excellent perennials for our warm Atlantic Beach climate. These beauties will bloom throughout the season, adding a constant touch of cheer.

The Secret to Perfect Curves and Lasting Beauty
But these flower beds aren’t just about aesthetics. They’re designed for longevity too! Notice the new Benda Board border material. This innovative product is not only recycled but also incredibly durable. It allows for those beautiful curves without the worry of damage from foot traffic or weed whackers. Unlike traditional edging, Benda Board won’t bend or fold, ensuring a crisp look for years to come.

Evergreen Elegance and Tailored Hedges
Framing the back of the flower beds is a lovely podocarpus hedge. This low-maintenance shrub provides a beautiful backdrop of emerald green. Unlike some hedges that become overgrown and unwieldy, podocarpus can be easily maintained at your desired height. This creates a clean and polished look without sacrificing that lush greenery.

Adding a touch of tropical flair is the stunning Bird of Paradise. This vibrant plant thrives in this neighborhood’s rich and moist soil, making it a perfect choice for this landscape. As it matures, it will add a majestic presence to the front yard.

A Citrus Twist: The Joy of Homegrown Lemons
Completing the front yard is a delightful lemon tree! The homeowner can look forward to enjoying homegrown citrus in the coming seasons. This adds not only visual interest but also a touch of culinary delight to the landscape.

Moving Back: Enhancing the Entertaining Space
Transitioning to the side yard, we see an existing deck that received a clever upgrade. A new landing pad was added to accommodate the grill, seamlessly matching the existing deck design. This small tweak maximizes the outdoor entertaining area without compromising the original layout.

A Backyard Oasis: Relaxation and Low Maintenance
Now, let’s step into the backyard, where the real transformation unfolds. The once-traditional landscape surrounding the pool has been replaced with a low-maintenance haven. Artificial turf provides a durable, comfortable surface perfect for poolside enjoyment.

Creating a Zen Zone: Pool Equipment Enclosure
To truly enhance the serenity of the space, our carpentry team built a beautiful enclosure for the pool equipment. This not only hides the unsightly equipment but also acts as a sound barrier, muffling the constant hum of the pool pump. It’s a thoughtful touch that elevates the outdoor living experience.

Goodbye Crushed Shells, Hello Barefoot Bliss
Behind the back bedroom, a practical solution was implemented. The previously uncomfortable crushed shell area was transformed into an attractive rock hardscape surface. This provides a stable, easy-to-walk-on path even in bare feet, making the space much more user-friendly.

Continuing the Theme: Matchstick Bromeliads for Lasting Beauty
From the back right corner walking toward the front yard, we see a vibrant path lined with Matchstick Bromeliads. These compact plants perfectly complement the space. They thrive in the Atlantic Beach sun, offering a pop of color throughout the year, even in winter months. Their small size makes them ideal for this tight space, ensuring they don’t overpower the overall design.
