The Leader in Coastal Landscape Design for Siesta Key
For over 20 years, Troy’s Tropics has been the trusted partner for Siesta Key’s most prestigious waterfront properties. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities of coastal living—from salt spray and storm surge to the desire for breathtaking ocean views.
Our grower-designer model gives us an unmatched advantage in creating landscapes that not only survive but thrive in Siesta Key’s demanding environment.
Here’s why Siesta Key homeowners trust Troy’s Tropics:
We don’t just design your landscape—we grow the salt-tolerant plants ourselves. This means healthier specimens, better value, and total accountability from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. No third-party nurseries. No supply chain delays. No blame game when something goes wrong.
Why Troy's Tropics is Different: We Grow What We Install
|
The Traditional Gamble |
The Troy’s Tropics Guarantee |
|---|---|
|
Mystery Plants: Your designer picks from a catalog, hoping the plants that arrive are healthy and suitable. |
Hand-Selected & Locally-Grown: We hand pick local plants and what we’ve grown ourselves, right here in Sarasota’s soil, sun, and humidity. They are already acclimated and ready to thrive. |
|
Third-Party Markup & Delays: You pay a premium for plants sourced by a middleman, and your project stalls waiting for their shipments. |
Wholesale Direct Value: You get healthier, superior plants for better value, installed on a predictable schedule without supply chain surprises. |
|
The Blame Game: The designer blames the installer for planting errors; the installer blames the nursery for weak plants. You’re stuck in the middle. |
One Expert Team, Total Accountability: Our designers, growers, and installers are one team. We are fully responsible for the success of your project, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. |
Featured Project: The Siesta Key Sanctuary
Proof that our process works, even in the most challenging environments.
On a private peninsula on Siesta Key, we were tasked with restoring a storm-damaged 1950s waterfront home. The mission was clear: make it beautiful again, honor its history, and protect the precious living shoreline.
