Longboat Key, as a place to build a yard
Longboat Key is a mix of single-family homes, low-rise and high-rise condominiums, clubs and resort properties. Many residents are seasonal, and many properties are managed by associations.
Condo and common-area work — entries, pool areas, palm replacements — is just as much a part of island landscaping as single-family yards.
What usually makes sense here
Salt-tolerant tropical planting anchored by palms that can take the wind. For condo and association properties, palm replacements and entry plantings that look sharp year-round. For homes, light-colored paver courts and walkways and layered beds protected on the lee side of the house.
