A year ago we decided to build a pool and a surrounding tropical paradise in our back yard and ran into a lot of challenges (new rules on offset from canal, FPL power lines in back yard, etc). We went to Mike for help and the landscape plan we got from his team was amazing. We could not be more impressed with their work and attention to details. They gave us everything we wanted in a landscape plan and managed to work around all the obstacles and challenges in a way that made it all seem to natural. He also bid it out the work to several landscape companies so we could get the best price. The experience was nothing short of spectacular. There really is no better landscape architect in this area. **★★★★★ — Robin Bennett, April 2018** > We thoroughly enjoyed working w/ Mike & Anna on our yard renovation. It was obvious from our first meeting that Mike appreciated our vision & could help us bring it to life. He shared our commitment to low-maintenance native landscape, & for creating a yard that will be inviting for our family & friends for years to come. Having the assistance of his team to get bids for the work was so important in our selecting a firm that will listen to our goals to carry out Mike's design. This is professional landscape architecture at its finest. Thanks so much!! **★★★★★ — Anthony Foley, April 2018** > Mike did an outstanding job. After many years of tinkering, my and I decided we wanted to completely renovate our back yard which involved getting professional advice from the get go. I found Mike on line an S made appointment for him to visit us and look over the property. We liked his suggestions and agreed to move forward with a formal landscape plan. Long story short, the project turned out extremely well and getting Mike involved from the beginning was really the key. **★★★★★ — A G, April 2018** > I hired Mike because of his love for native plants, his practicality, and his thoughtful, easygoing demeanor. He is a great listener. My goal was to create a pretty, family-friendly yard in South Florida that required little to no maintenance. I wanted the right plants in the right places so that we would not spend weekends and money struggling to trim them into plants they were not. Mike and his team accomplished this goal and under budget. They drew up a beautiful plan, retaining many of my original plants, and they bid out the plan to established professionals in the area. My yard is now easy to maintain, colorful, and restful to the eyes. One year later, as I am selling my house, the most common feedback I have received from potential buyers is how much they love our yard. I am looking forward to working with Mike again on my new yard. Thank you! **★★★★★ — William George, Jan. 2018** > From concept to implementation we had a great experience with Mike and associates. We really appreciated the time spent to understand the plans and what our yard would look like as it matured.

Mike and Anna are a joy to work with. As a team they took our ideas, dreams, wants and needs(still a work in progress), and are making it a reality. They are both very easy to talk with and best of all, they listen. We would definitely hire them again, should the need arise. A+ company! **★★★★★ — L Lusardi, April 2017** > Very professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful and thorough. Enjoyed meeting and working with Michael. Our landscape plans are delightful, and we look forward to working with him to complete the project. **★★★★★ — Bill Harrison, April 2017** > I engaged Mike Flaugh to prepare a comprehensive landscape and lighting plan for my Harbour Ridge residence. Mike worked with me (inexperienced) and my wife (master gardener) to achieve a thoughtful plan. He handled all ARB submissions. He negotiated a fair price with my installer.

He also used existing mature plants on the property to mix in with the new plants. The plants are growing, blooming, and we continue to get compliments on our landscaping. **★★★★★ — Tracy Volz, Jan. 2017** > I hired Mike to redesign the front entry of the Stuart Yacht & Country Club, and he delivered! His plans were spectacular, and met our needs. It was a difficult change for many residents, but Mike came to our POA meeting, gave an amazing presentation and there was not one question he couldn't answer. Our residents are all extremely happy with his work and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a world class landscape architect. **★★★★★ — Nancy Lyons, Sept. 2016** > Each morning with a coffee cup in hand, I look forward to seeing new blooms in our yard. Michael"s outstanding design has yet to disappoint. He skillfully incorporated our preserve area with complimentary plants. The result is beautiful. Michael was easy to work with, listened to what we wanted and completed the bidding process. We never imagined our yard would look as lovely as it does.

It was a tough job since the landscape plans had to be submitted along with the building plans. All he had to work with was an empty lot, our vague ideas, and a few preliminary construction drawings. He couldn't have been nicer or more pleasant. And now that we have moved in, the result is lauded by all who see it as one of the nicer landscape jobs in the neighborhood. I highly recommend Mike. You won't be dissappointed. **★★★★★ — N2 architecture + design, Aug. 2016** > We enjoyed working with Mike with redesigning our existing landscape. He was creative with the existing landscape and incorporated amazing design for the fire pit. He handled the bid process smoothly and the drawings turned out great.

Mike presented plans to my husband and I that were manageable and flexible. We needed professional guidance as we didn't know where to begin to make our yard more beautiful and useful.

We look forward to implementing the plans and showcasing our old Florida look updated. **★★★★★ — HU-967245, Aug. 2016** > It was an absolute pleasure working with Mike on a large custom home on the water.

He provided prompt, professional service and went out of his way to accommodate changes made by the architect. Best of all he has a positive attitude and is easy to work with. We at Green Dwellings are looking forward to partnering with Mike on future projects and will recommend him to our clients. **★★★★★ — skipperhartzell, Sept. 2015** > Mike Flaugh is very knowledgable, enthusiastic, creative and dependable. We built a fairly large compound style home on 2 acres. We wanted the landscape to be completely natural using only native plants and trees. Mike got our idea instantly and he did an outstanding job designing the project. As the construction evolved Mike was very flexible and made numerous changes. The whole project took almost 3 years to complete. I have already recommended Mike Flaugh to several friends and neighbors. He is an all around great guy. You can not go wrong if you hire Mike for your landscape project. **★★★★★ — Lynne Cohen, Sept. 2015** > Despite the fact that I was a very difficult client, Mike never lost his patience with me or enthusiasm for the project. He completely redesigned my yard, incorporating existing plantings that were of sentimental value to me and still had them work harmoniously with the new designs. I wanted old-school Florida landscaping to go with my MCM home. I got it. Mike also worked with me to secure the best bid for installation. I couldn't be happier, and my yard has gone from neglected minimalism to a lush and tropical paradise. **★★★★★ — slobomoma, Sept. 2015** > Michael Flaugh is top notch. Great ideas, great followup and made our large 10-acre property look like a resort. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — kmcother, Sept. 2015** > I engaged Mike Flaugh to create a landscape plan for the small area in my villa's back yard. I provided Mike with very general specifications, a wish list such as plants with color, plants favored by wildlife, use of as much Florida native plants as feasible and above all else low, minimal maintenance. > > I was extremely pleased with the design that Mike proposed, not only did he meet the criteria I requested but his selection of plants and their placement was remarkable. His choice of plants and some added 'focal point' suggestions (which I had not considered) more than met my expectations. At the end of the day I received a beautifully landscaped courtyard design for my back yard area. > > Mike also solicited and provided me with vendor quotes for this project. All vendors were professional and experienced which was quite helpful. > > I would highly recommend Mike Flaugh. **★★★★★ — Bultman Architecture Inc., Dec. 2014** > Mike Flaugh did a fantastic job for me on this house. The house was LEED certified in large part due to Mike’s effort and expertise. His choice of plants was responsible and creative given the limited parameters. Mike was also careful to let the plantings become an additional layer of the modern design, allowing the space and rhythm of the structure to extend out into the landscape. Three years out the project still looks seamless! **★★★★★ — Jodi H, Oct. 2014** > Mike Flaugh designed a landscape for our remodeled home on Indian River Drive. The project was extensive and lasted several months. It was important to us to use native vegetation and to highlight the more beautiful aspects of our home (like the river) while reducing the focus on the less beautiful aspects (an old bomb shelter on the property and a nuclear power plant across the river). Mike also provided practical and beautiful solutions to a drainage problem and an eroding bluff face. The bluff was stabilized using vegetation only; no armoring or rock. It still looks beautiful and requires no maintenance. Mike provided a detailed inventory of the existing plants and trees on the property, indicating what should be used and what should be removed, as well as designing new areas and with new materials. Mike gave us recommendations for contractors and installers to conduct the work he designed, and we still use the same landscape installers and lawn service that we started with. Mike brings an attention to detail, an understanding of our unique climatic area, and great knowledge of the options available. I highly recommend his service. **★★★★★ — powelfa, Sept. 2014** > Mike has done a landscape plan for my personal residence and also a landscape plan for our Homeowner's Association. I have been very pleased with both plans. Mike listens to what the needs are and then uses his experience to complete the plan. I highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — Tammy Dalton, Sept. 2014** > Mike and I have worked together on a number of occasions , and he provided a landscape design for me personally as well. Hi keen eye for composition, trusted knowledge of "right plants in the right place," and his easy-going manner make him a joy to work with. I recommend him without reservation and with great enthusiasm. **★★★★★ — Geoff Chellis, Sept. 2014** > Michael has been an invaluable resource for us as we struggled to plan out our landscaping with "NJ Ignorance" of what plants and shrubs flourish in the Floridian conditions. He is full of great ideas, very responsive sharing photos of different options and quick to rework CAD drawings so we can see exactly how the landscape will work together. > > In addition, Michael has been a lifesaver in terms of finding suitable landscapers, managing the RFP process and having the clout to ensure the work is done right. We are snow birds and can't be in town to pull this off and Michael has made it possible to manage things remotely. I highly recommend Michael to anyone considering new landscaping, especially if they are snow birds! **★★★★★ — Laurie Z, July 2013** > Michael did the landscape design for our front yard. He really listened to us and had an excellent feel of our desires and budget. His design was above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. It's been 6 months and the plantings continue to grow into a more and more beautiful landscape. We continually get complimented by our neighbors. Hiring Michael was the best thing we ever did. ## Selected projects - [Historic Key West](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-key-west-pj-vj~6720575) - Location: Key West, FL - Photos: 22 - [Riverfront Terrace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverfront-terrace-pj-vj~2341333) - Location: Stuart, FL - Photos: 8 - [Tropical Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tropical-estate-pj-vj~2398643) - Location: Stuart, FL - Photos: 5 - [Florida Residential Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/florida-residential-landscape-pj-vj~581738) - Location: Stuart, FL - Photos: 10 - [Riverfront Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/riverfront-estate-pj-vj~581727) - Location: Stuart, FL - Photos: 7 - [Native Coastal Planting Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/native-coastal-planting-design-pj-vj~695985) - Location: Stuart, FL - Photos: 2 - [Residential Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residential-estate-pj-vj~581721) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Native Coastal Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/native-coastal-design-pj-vj~695982) - Location: Jupiter, FL - Photos: 10 - [Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscape-pj-vj~702120) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Tropical Florida Mizner/Mediterranean Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tropical-florida-mizner-mediterranean-residence-pj-vj~581732) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Color Renderings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/color-renderings-pj-vj~936953) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Coastal Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-retreat-pj-vj~6455727) - Location: Stuart, FL - Photos: 14 - [Florida Keys](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/florida-keys-pj-vj~5424657) - Location: Islamorada, FL - Photos: 4 - [Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lighting-pj-vj~5987331) - Location: Boca Raton, FL - Photos: 2 - [The Florida Keys](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-florida-keys-pj-vj~5264926) - Location: Islamorada, FL - Photos: 14 - [Plants](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plants-pj-vj~5815269) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 67 - [3D illustrations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3d-illustrations-pj-vj~5424668) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 [See all 17 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/michael-flaugh-landscape-architect-p-l-pfvwus-pf~1636217899) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/840723406.m3u8?s=245fe92fd83fc9ab70bcdc2fb8c46f21c5a855bc&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **What types of landscape design projects do you specialize in?** We specialize in a wide range of landscape design projects, from private estates and residential gardens to commercial projects and public spaces.
