Our landscape in Astatula, Florida. This is when we started planting the trees and the pampas grasses. Today the trees are grown to about 30 ft. tall. We used black plastic mulch and spreaded about six inches of mulch on top. This area today needs no irrigation for a Florida Friendly Landscaping. Among the trees planted are: four sycamores, 8 loropetalum, one Southern Magnolia, Two hollies, One bouganvillia (variegated) and four Podocarpus.
