If you’re looking to take your landscape from ordinary to polished, concrete curbing is one of the smartest—and most attractive—additions you can make. Especially in Ocala, Florida, where lush lawns and garden beds flourish year-round, concrete edging offers durability, beauty, and easy maintenance to keep your yard looking its best. So, what is it?

If you're looking to enhance your Ocala landscape with a palm that combines elegance, resilience, and relatively low maintenance (let’s face it, palm trees have some maintenance), the Sylvester Palm (Phoenix sylvestris) is an excellent choice. This palm has become a favorite in Florida gardens, offering a tropical aesthetic with practical benefits and we have connections for some beautiful ones!

Hiring a landscaping company is more than just picking the first one you find online. Whether you're redesigning your backyard oasis or installing a small landscaping wall, the right landscaping business will make all the difference in your experience. So how do you choose the right one?

When it comes to elevating your outdoor space, few additions make as dramatic and serene an impact as a water feature. Whether it's a bubbling fountain, a tranquil pond, or a cascading waterfall, integrating water into your landscape design can transform your yard into a personal oasis. Beyond aesthetics, water features offer a host of practical and emotional benefits. At Bella Design Landscapes, we specialize in water features!

Landscaping your yard or outdoor space is an exciting project that can increase the beauty, usability, and value of your property. Whether you're refreshing a tired garden or creating a new outdoor oasis from scratch, thoughtful planning is essential.

When it comes to landscaping, one common dilemma homeowners face is whether to use rocks or mulch around plants, garden beds, and pathways. Both materials have their pros and cons, and the best choice often depends on your specific goals, budget, and maintenance preferences. Let’s break down the key differences.

Why Irrigation Maintenance Matters: Keeping Your Landscape Thriving

At Bella Design Landscapes, we specialize in landscape design BUT we believe in watering your plants to thrive not just survive and that's why we wanted to take a moment to share about the importance of regular irrigation maintenance.  Just like your car or phone, irrigation requires regular maintenance and updates.  With time, heads can get clogged, hit by lawnmowers and it's critical you hire a professional company to come out and check your irrigation annually, especially if you have a well!  While this isn't a service we offer, we do want your yard to look amazing and can recommend companies that do offer this service if you need some referrals. 

When it comes to maintaining a lush, healthy landscape, irrigation systems play a vital role. Installing an irrigation system is just the beginning—regular maintenance is what keeps it running smoothly and sustainably.
