Big Earth Landscape Supply - Bradenton's Qualified Landscaping Services

Tree roots can create uneven, patchy areas. We recommend gently leveling the area with topsoil or a sandy loam mix, then overseeding with a shade-tolerant grass variety. Using a quality mulch around the tree base (but not against the trunk) can also help retain moisture and protect surface roots, preventing further soil disruption.

Coastal Bradenton gardens need tough plants. We stock a great selection of salt-tolerant natives and adapted species like Sea Grape, Cocoplum, Muhly Grass, and Simpson's Stopper. These plants are not only beautiful but are bred to thrive in our specific environment, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Improving your soil is key. We recommend using organic compost or a specialized planting mix to improve drainage and soil health. Healthy soil helps plants flush out salt more effectively. For new beds in high-risk areas, consider our raised bed mixes, which provide a controlled, nutrient-rich environment above the native, potentially salt-affected soil.
