Bring the Tropics Home: The Art of Exotic Landscaping

Few cities rival Miami when it comes to plant diversity. The subtropical climate, warm breezes, and ample sunlight make it possible to cultivate a wide variety of lush, exotic species that can’t grow anywhere else in the country.

Our specialty and exotic plant designs are inspired by this abundance. We select plant varieties that capture the drama, movement, and vibrancy of the tropics — while ensuring each species is well-suited to your property’s soil, shade, and irrigation conditions.

You’ll enjoy a one-of-a-kind landscape that’s as sustainable as it is stunning — designed for long-term beauty with minimal environmental impact.

Our Signature Design Process

Every Coral Canopy landscape begins with a deep understanding of your property, your lifestyle, and your aesthetic preferences. Our goal is to create harmony between your home’s architecture, the surrounding environment, and the lush plant life that brings it to life.

Step 1: On-Site Consultation

We begin with a thorough property evaluation to assess soil quality, drainage, sunlight exposure, and existing vegetation. This helps us determine which tropical and exotic species will thrive naturally without constant maintenance or chemical dependency.

Step 2: Concept Development

Next, we create a custom landscape plan that reflects your personal style — whether that’s a vibrant tropical oasis, a minimalist Zen garden, or a colorful mix of native and exotic flora. Our designs balance height, texture, and color to create natural rhythm and year-round visual interest.

Step 3: Expert Installation

Our installation team carefully places each plant to ensure proper spacing, root depth, and growth potential. We use nutrient-rich soil amendments, natural fertilizers, and water-efficient irrigation systems to give your plants the strongest start possible.

Step 4: Long-Term Maintenance

Exotic and tropical landscapes require skilled care to stay lush and healthy. Our maintenance services include pruning, fertilization, pest control, and seasonal planting — all designed to preserve the balance and vitality of your tropical garden throughout the year.

Popular Tropical and Exotic Plants We Use

Our plant selections are tailored to Miami’s tropical climate and the specific conditions of your yard. Some of the species we frequently include in our designs are:

Palm Trees: From royal palms to pygmy date palms, these elegant trees define Miami’s tropical identity.
Bird of Paradise: Known for its bold, sculptural flowers that resemble a bird in flight, ideal for statement plantings.
Bromeliads: Low-maintenance and colorful, perfect for adding texture and vibrant hues.
Heliconia: A dramatic flowering plant with bright red and orange blooms that attract hummingbirds.
Crotons: Bold foliage with red, yellow, and green tones that add tropical flair to any garden bed.
Hibiscus: Classic, colorful blooms that thrive in Miami’s warm climate.
Orchids: Delicate and exotic, often used to accent shady areas or tree trunks for a resort-like aesthetic.
Ginger and Ti Plants: Beautifully colored foliage plants that add depth and richness to the landscape.
Native Shrubs and Grasses: Such as saw palmetto, muhly grass, and firebush for natural texture and eco-balance.

Each design balances exotic showpieces with hardy, native species for a thriving, sustainable ecosystem that supports pollinators and local wildlife.

At Coral Canopy Landscapes, we believe that a beautiful landscape should also be environmentally responsible. That’s why our tropical and exotic plant designs are rooted in eco-conscious principles:

Native Integration: By blending native Florida species with exotics, we reduce water use and support local biodiversity.
Drought-Tolerant Planting: We prioritize plants that naturally thrive in Miami’s heat, reducing irrigation demands.
Organic Soil Health: We use natural compost and fertilizers to build soil strength without harmful chemicals.
Efficient Irrigation Systems: Smart controllers and drip irrigation ensure precise watering and conservation.

This sustainable approach creates a thriving, resilient landscape that stays beautiful with less maintenance — protecting both your investment and the environment.
