Planting & Plant Selection Services in Southwest Florida

Bring Your Landscape to Life with the Right Plants in the Right Places

The secret to a beautiful, low-maintenance Florida landscape isn’t just in the design — it’s in choosing the right plants. At Show ‘N’ Go Lawn Services, we specialize in professional planting and plant selection services that help your garden and yard thrive in our hot, humid Southwest Florida climate.

Whether you’re starting fresh or enhancing an existing landscape, we guide you in selecting Florida-friendly plants that add color, texture, and year-round appeal — without the high maintenance.

Our Planting Services Include:

  • Custom Plant Selection
    We help you choose the right combination of shrubs, flowers, groundcovers, and trees based on your soil type, sunlight, water access, and design preferences.

  • Professional Installation
    We don’t just dig a hole and drop it in — we properly prep the soil, account for spacing and future growth, and ensure each plant is placed for long-term success.

  • Seasonal & Tropical Planting
    Add bursts of seasonal color or go for a tropical oasis look with palms, crotons, hibiscus, and more — we know what thrives in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and nearby areas.

  • Landscape Renovation & Fill-Ins
    Replacing struggling plants or filling in sparse areas? We match new plants with your existing landscape for a seamless, polished look.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do you choose the right plants for my Cape Coral or Fort Myers yard?

    • We use the “Right Plant, Right Place” principle. We evaluate your specific property for salt exposure (if you’re on a canal), soil drainage, and daily sun patterns. We then select climate-hardy species like Clusia, Ixora, or Silver Buttonwood that are proven to thrive in our subtropical environment.

  • What is the best time of year for new plant installation in Southwest Florida?

    • While we can plant year-round, the early rainy season (May through June) is often ideal because the natural rainfall helps new root systems establish quickly. However, with proper irrigation, planting in the cooler “dry” months is also highly successful and prevents heat stress on new greenery.

  • Do you offer native Florida plant options?

    • Yes! We highly recommend native plants because they are naturally resistant to local pests and require significantly less water and fertilizer once established. Native options are a great way to support local pollinators while keeping your maintenance costs low.

  • How should I water my new plants immediately after installation?

    • New plants require daily watering for the first few weeks to prevent shock. We will provide you with a specific watering schedule based on the species we install and can even adjust your irrigation timer to ensure your new investment gets the hydration it needs to take root.

  • Can you help create a “privacy screen” using only plants?

    • Absolutely. Many homeowners prefer a “living fence” over wood or vinyl. We specialize in installing dense, fast-growing privacy hedges like Areca Palms, Podocarpus, or Hibiscus that provide a beautiful, natural barrier between properties.
