Landscaping in Pine Island, FL
Pine Island yards sit between two aquatic preserves, on septic, one road from the mainland, under a community plan meant to keep the island rural. Hodges plans and installs curbing, rock and mulch beds, plants and palms, sod, irrigation and drainage from Bokeelia to St. James City. Call (239) 301-9455 for a quote.
Greater Pine Island is unincorporated Lee County, so county watering and summer fertilizer rules apply, not a city code. The Greater Pine Island community plan, part of the Lee Plan, is aimed at keeping the island rural. Drinking water comes from the Greater Pine Island Water Association, and there is no central sewer, so septic systems shape where drains and equipment can go. The Matlacha Pass and Pine Island Sound aquatic preserves surround the island, and Pine Island Road across Matlacha is its only road link to the mainland.

Questions
I irrigate from a private well. Do the watering days still apply?
Yes. The South Florida Water Management District's year-round irrigation rule applies whether the water comes from a utility, lake, pond, canal, or well, so the assigned days cover well-fed systems too.
Where should my downspouts drain if I'm on septic?
Away from both the tank and the drain field, toward lawn or a planted area that can absorb it. A drain field soaked by roof water has less capacity left for the house.
Which shrubs handle salt spray on a bayfront or canal lot?
Sea grape, silver buttonwood, and cocoplum are dependable choices near the water, with firebush and coontie a little farther back. UF/IFAS notes that many plants already growing on coastal land are highly salt-tolerant and can be worked into a landscape.
