Marco Island is a Gulf barrier island laced with canals. Many homes sit on seawalled canal lots with limited space, and salt spray, sandy soil, and wind shape what grows well. Many condo and HOA properties also have their own approval rules.

Questions
What are the watering days on Marco Island right now?
The city sets them and adjusts them during droughts, as it did in 2023 with a two-day, address-based schedule. Because the rules change, call Marco Island Utilities or check the city site for the current schedule before your controller is programmed.
Where should my downspouts drain on a canal lot?
Into the yard, not straight onto the seawall or into the canal. Releasing roof water into planted beds or a buried line lets sand filter it before it reaches the water, which matters because the state lists Marco canals as nutrient-impaired.
Can I fertilize new plantings in summer on Marco Island?
No. The city prohibits fertilizer application from June 1 through September 30. Outside that window, the person applying must submit a free fertilizer permit to the city one business day ahead. Hodges plans summer installs around amended soil and watering instead of a starter feed.
