Practical, well-built landscape design for Broward's largest residential community

Contact Us

Pembroke Pines covers a lot of ground. The city stretches from Flamingo Road west toward the conservation areas, and the housing stock ranges from older neighborhoods near Pines Boulevard to newer master-planned communities further west. Landscape design in Pembroke Pines has to work across that range. A landscape designer working on a property near University Drive faces different conditions than one working west of I-75. Firefly Landscape Contractors LLC has been serving Pembroke Pines as part of 23 years of South Florida work, and the landscape design we deliver here reflects the city's variety.


A one-size-fits-all approach does not survive contact with Pembroke Pines.

Single-Source Design, Installation, and Care

The size of Pembroke Pines and the variety of properties here make the single-source model especially useful. A homeowners association in a western community may have planting standards that need to be met. An older home near Hollywood Boulevard may need full landscape restoration after years of inconsistent care. A newer property near Pembroke Lakes Mall may need ground-up landscape design for a new build.


Firefly Landscape Contractors LLC handles every phase in-house. Landscape design services, landscape planning, plant procurement, hardscape, water features, lighting, and maintenance. The same project lead carries the work from concept through completion. Pablo Sardinas, the owner, is involved directly in scoping and design decisions across Pembroke Pines projects.


The landscape design and build process under one roof saves time and removes the coordination problems that plague multi-contractor projects.

Landscape Planning for Pembroke Pines Conditions

The western half of Pembroke Pines was developed on land with high groundwater levels. That matters for landscape planning here. Pond construction depth has to account for the water table. Drainage during the wet season needs to be designed at the grading stage rather than addressed after problems surface. Plant selection has to favor species that can take periodic saturation without rotting out.


The eastern half of the city has older infrastructure and more established tree canopy. Landscape design there often involves working with mature trees, dated irrigation systems that need to be rebuilt, and planting layouts that were appropriate in 1985 but no longer fit how families use their outdoor space.


Custom landscape design in Pembroke Pines means understanding which half of the city you are working in and designing accordingly. A landscape designer who treats every Pembroke Pines project as identical will deliver inconsistent results.

Backyard Landscape Design Suited to Pembroke Pines Lots

Backyard landscape design in Pembroke Pines covers more ground than most other cities we work in. Lots vary widely. Outdoor living design might mean a full patio extension with a kitchen, koi pond, and lighting on a larger western lot. On a smaller eastern lot, it might mean a tighter design that creates a sense of enclosure and a usable outdoor room within tighter dimensions.


Front yard landscape design in Pembroke Pines often runs into HOA requirements in the master-planned communities. We work within those standards and deliver a landscape that meets the rules while still feeling considered rather than generic. Modern landscape design suits many of the newer western Pembroke Pines homes. Traditional tropical works better on older properties closer to the city center.


Low-maintenance landscape design is a frequent request in Pembroke Pines because many residents work long hours and want the outdoor space to hold itself together. Plant selection, irrigation design, and planting density are what make that possible.

Commercial Landscape Design Across Pembroke Pines

Pembroke Pines has a substantial commercial footprint along Pines Boulevard, Pembroke Road, and the Pembroke Lakes area. Our landscape design services for commercial clients in the city focus on durability under high foot traffic, water-efficient irrigation, and visual consistency that holds up to year-round scrutiny.


We deliver commercial landscapes that look intentional rather than maintained as an afterthought. That difference comes from the design choices made at the start.

Why Owners Across Pembroke Pines Call Firefly

Firefly Landscape Contractors LLC is licensed and insured. The team carries certifications from AWG, VISTA PRO, AES, FNGLA, and the University of Florida BMP program. The company is Latino-owned and has worked in South Florida since 2001.


What that translates to on a Pembroke Pines property is a professional landscape designer with the credentials to back up the design choices. Plant biology, water feature engineering, electrical work for landscape lighting design, and stormwater management are all real technical disciplines. A designer who has been certified in each of them is going to deliver better outcomes than one working from intuition.

What the Work Holds Up To

A landscape design consultation should leave you with a clear scope, an honest timeline, and a budget that does not move during the build. That is what we deliver in every Pembroke Pines project.



Long-term Pembroke Pines clients consistently mention the same thing. Two and three years after installation, the landscape still looks the way it was designed to. The pond still runs clean. The lighting still works. The planting has matured without overrunning the space. That outcome is the product of decisions made at the design stage about plant choice, spacing, and component quality.

Service Areas

We serve Pembroke Pines and the surrounding communities, including Miramar, Hollywood, Davie, Cooper City, and Weston. Each area carries its own conditions, and our designs reflect those differences.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does Firefly handle landscape design across both sides of Pembroke Pines?

    Yes. The city spans a wide area with different conditions. Our landscape design work in Pembroke Pines covers older neighborhoods east of University Drive and newer communities west of Flamingo Road, with design approaches adjusted to each.

  • How long has Firefly served Pembroke Pines?

    Firefly Landscape Contractors LLC has provided landscape design services across South Florida, including Pembroke Pines, since 2001. That is 23 years of work in this market.

  • Can you accommodate HOA requirements in Pembroke Pines' master-planned communities?

    Yes. Many Pembroke Pines neighborhoods have HOA planting and design standards. Our landscape design and build process includes documenting compliance with those requirements before installation begins.

  • How do I find landscape design near me in Pembroke Pines that handles the high water table?

    A landscape designer with documented water feature and pond construction experience in western Pembroke Pines, specifically, is what you want. The high water table affects design choices that an inexperienced firm will miss.

  • Does Firefly offer low-maintenance landscape design for Pembroke Pines properties?

    Yes. Low-maintenance landscape design in Pembroke Pines is built around plant choices that handle the local conditions, drip irrigation that delivers water efficiently, and planting density that allows everything to mature without crowding.

  • Can you integrate water feature landscape design with existing Pembroke Pines plantings?

    Yes. Adding a fountain or koi pond to an established landscape is common in Pembroke Pines. We evaluate the existing plantings, drainage, and electrical access before recommending placement and scale.

  • What is included in a Pembroke Pines landscape design consultation?

    We visit the property, evaluate soil and drainage conditions, discuss how the family uses the outdoor space, and review any HOA requirements before developing a proposal. The consultation establishes whether the project is a good match and what approach makes sense.

  • Is modern landscape design or traditional tropical better a fit for Pembroke Pines?

    Both work in Pembroke Pines depending on the architecture and the neighborhood. Newer homes in the west often suit modern landscape design with clean lines and disciplined plant palettes. Older homes lean toward traditional tropical. A "landscape design near me" search should turn up firms that handle both, and we are one.
