The City of Palms
Designing landscapes worthy of the nickname
Fort Myers earned the name City of Palms from the royal palms that line McGregor Boulevard, and palms still do the heavy lifting in a good Fort Myers landscape. They give a property height and rhythm, and they are the first thing a lighting plan picks out after dark.
We use them deliberately: royal and foxtail palms where there is room to soar, clustered date palms and Bismarck palms as sculpture at an entry, sabal palms where salt and wind are an issue near the river. Under them go layered beds of crotons, bromeliads and flowering shrubs that hold color through the year.
The hard part in Fort Myers is the ground, not the plant list. Sandy soils and summer downpours punish poor grading, so every Lombardo plan starts with how water moves across the lot before a single paver or bed is drawn.

FAQ
Landscaping questions from Fort Myers
Can I visit your showroom in Fort Myers?
Yes. Our showroom is at 7200 Bucks Ln, Ste 1, Fort Myers, FL 33912, open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It is the easiest way to see materials and talk through ideas in person. Call (239) 634-5477 to set a time.
Which plants hold up best through a Fort Myers summer?
Plants that handle heat, humidity and heavy rain followed by dry spells: palms like sabal, foxtail and Bismarck, shrubs like cocoplum, firebush and crotons, and groundcovers like perennial peanut. Our Southwest Florida plant guide filters by sun, salt and size.
Do you design for homes in gated communities?
Yes, often. Many Fort Myers communities review landscape plans before work begins. A dimensioned plan with a plant schedule is what those boards expect, and it is part of every Lombardo design.
Is Fort Myers landscaping different from Naples or Cape Coral?
The climate is the same, the lots are not. Fort Myers mixes riverfront homes, historic neighborhoods and new golf communities, so a design here often has to fit an older street or an HOA standard as much as the house itself.
