Yes. We serve both neighborhoods and the broader South Kernan corridor, including communities throughout Southside Jacksonville. If you’re in the area and have a project in mind, we’re the right call.

We cover the full range: landscape design and installation, hardscape design (paver patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, seat walls, fire features), landscape lighting using Kichler products, water features, drainage solutions, and ongoing lawn care and maintenance. Everything under one company, not a patchwork of subcontractors.

It starts with an in-store consultation where we discuss your goals, and create a plan for your space. After that, we develop a full design and present it at our Garden Center on Beach Blvd, where you can see the plan, review materials, and make changes before anything gets built. If you move forward with the project, 50% of your design fee gets credited toward the build.

Both, and we think the combination matters. When the same company designs and installs, there is no gap between what the plan says and what gets built. Our crews don’t hand off to subcontractors. The people who drew it build it.

Paver patios, paver walkways, paver driveways, retaining walls, seat walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens (where applicable), and water features including koi ponds, pondless waterfalls, and bubbling urns. If it’s an outdoor living structure, we’ve probably built one.

For most homeowners, yes. Pavers hold up better than poured concrete in Florida’s climate, they hold their shape better, they are easier to repair if something does go wrong, and they add genuine curb appeal in neighborhoods where the exterior of your home is visible and matters. In communities like Tamaya and Seven Pines, a well-designed paver driveway or patio is noticed.

We install Kichler lighting systems, which are professional-grade and engineered for long-term outdoor performance. Kichler has specific lines designed for the heat, humidity, and salt air conditions in Florida, which is why we use them over residential-grade alternatives.

Yes. Our lawn care division provides recurring maintenance every week of the year, no slowdowns in winter, no gaps in service. Standard packages include mowing, edging, weed-eating, blowing, bed weeding and spraying, and shrub trimming. Add-on programs include turf fertilization (8 treatments/year), shrub fertilization, and core aeration and top dressing.

Every Earth Works lawn maintenance client has a dedicated crew assigned to their property. That crew contacts you before every visit and learns your yard over time, what’s been planted, what’s been trimmed back, what to watch for. Most lawn services send whoever’s available. We send the same people, every time. It’s a structural difference that shows up in the quality of the work.

Yes. Landscape installations paired with our ongoing maintenance and fertilization program carry a plant lifetime warranty. The logic is straightforward: if we’re maintaining the space, we can catch issues early and stand behind the work long-term. The warranty is tied to the maintenance program because that’s what keeps the installation performing the way it was designed to.

The short answer is that a franchise sends a crew. We send a team that knows your yard, your preferences, and your property's specific conditions. Earth Works is family-owned, has operated in Jacksonville since 1988, and our three divisions: lawn care, landscape design, and our Garden Center, work together in ways that a siloed franchise structurally cannot replicate. When something needs attention in a landscape we designed, the same company that designed it handles it.

Yes. Earth Works Garden Center on Beach Blvd is our retail garden center and the studio where landscape design clients review their plans and select materials. We carry annuals, perennials, Florida-native plants, tropicals, palms, shade trees, citrus, Japanese maples, aquatic plants, houseplants, succulents, pottery, and a full pond supply section. Staff are working horticulturists, not sales associates.

Call us or fill out the contact form. The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We’ll listen to what you’re working with, tell you what we think it calls for, and go from there at whatever pace makes sense for you.
