The Art of Unique Landscapes: Skiff & Company Landscaping Brings Character to Fort Lauderdale

In today’s world of increasingly strict landscape ordinances, many neighborhoods are filled with trees and plants that are, let’s face it, a little too uniform. Rows of ‘cookie-cutter’ or ‘lollipop’ trees may comply with the rules, but they often lack the personality and charm that truly elevate a property. At Skiff & Company Landscaping, we believe there’s a better way—a way to create landscapes that showcase the unique character of South Florida’s natural beauty.

Why Character Matters in Landscaping

Take a drive through some of South Florida’s older, iconic neighborhoods like Fort Lauderdale’s Rio Vista, Coral Gables, or Old Cutler Road in South Miami. What do you notice? Towering, majestic trees that have stood the test of time, each one telling its own story. These trees, some over 50 years old, aren’t ‘single-leader’ or standard-issue Florida #1. They’re bold, unique, and filled with character.

One shining example of this is the legendary Baobab tree on U.S. 1 near Griffin Road by the Fort Lauderdale airport. A true local treasure, this tree has been a tourist attraction for over 65 years. It’s a perfect reminder that a landscape’s greatest strength lies in its ability to stand out and make an impression.

At Skiff & Company Landscaping, we specialize in designs that embrace this philosophy. We bring a custom approach to every project, incorporating trees and plants that go beyond the standard, ensuring your property is a showstopper in the neighborhood.
