Outdoor Living That Matches the Standard of St. Johns County
Few areas in Northeast Florida have been planned around outdoor life the way St. Johns County has. From coastal trail systems to riverfront neighborhoods built around water access and green space, this county was designed with the outdoors in mind, and the yards here need to keep pace. Earth Works has spent 38 years building landscapes across Jacksonville, and we know what that standard requires.
In Nocatee, that means designing for a community built around parks, trails, and an active, outdoor-first lifestyle. In RiverTown, it means understanding what a homesite along the St. Johns River calls for, from wetland-adjacent lots to properties backing up to community preserves. Whichever end of St. Johns County you’re in, the approach is the same: custom paver patios, landscape design built around how you actually use your yard, and lighting that carries the space into the evening.
Homeowners across St. Johns County searching for landscaping near me are usually looking for one thing: a full-service landscaping company that can take on the whole project and has the history to back it up. Earth Works has been that company in Jacksonville since 1988.
Landscaping Services for St. Johns County Master-Planned Communities
Our St. Johns County landscaping team covers the landscape design, installation, and the maintenance that keeps it looking good for years to come.
Landscape Design Services in Nocatee and RiverTown
A good outdoor space is designed before it's built. We start with a discovery conversation, follow up with an on-site visit, and bring the finished plan back to our Garden Center on Beach Blvd for a full design reveal. Nothing gets installed until you've seen it, reviewed the materials, and signed off on the scope.
Explore Landscape Design Packages ↗Hardscape Design in Nocatee and RiverTown
Paver patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, seat walls, and fire features all fall under our hardscape work. For homeowners in Nocatee or RiverTown who want an actual outdoor living space rather than a patio with a grill on it, this is where that gets built.

Pavers hold up better than poured concrete in Florida's climate, keep their shape over time, and add real curb appeal in a community like Nocatee or RiverTown where that kind of detail gets noticed. Our installation crews work throughout St. Johns County and know what these properties need.

A well-lit yard doesn't stop being usable when the sun goes down, and in a neighborhood like Nocatee or RiverTown, good lighting at the street makes a real impression. We install Kichler systems built for architecture, tree, and hardscape highlighting, engineered to hold up in Florida's climate.
Explore Lighting Options ↗Outdoor Yard Design in Nocatee and RiverTown
Every yard in St. Johns County starts somewhere different, a new-construction blank slate, an established lot with no real flow, or something in between. Our designers start with how you use the space, or want to, and build the plan from there.
Find Your Perfect Design Package ↗Lawn & Plant Installation in St. Johns County
Plants are what actually make a landscape feel finished. We handle full planting and installation, choosing varieties that hold up in Northeast Florida soil and suit the look of your neighborhood. Since we pull from our own Garden Center inventory, you're seeing the actual plants before they go in the ground, not a catalog photo.

Landscaping Services in Nocatee and RiverTown
Nocatee and RiverTown couldn't be more different in how they're built, one centered on coastal community life, the other on the St. Johns River, but both demand the same level of care in the yard. Here's what that looks like in each.
Nocatee has grown into one of the best-selling master-planned communities in the country, and it didn't happen by accident. The Nocatee Preserve, the Greenway Trails, and neighborhood parks like Crosswater and Twenty Mile give residents constant access to the outdoors, and that shapes what people expect from their own yards too. This isn't a community where landscaping is an afterthought.
Whether it's an outdated backyard that's finally ready for a redesign, a paver patio built to actually get used, or a maintenance crew that shows up on schedule and knows the property, Earth Works works with Nocatee homeowners who want their yard to hold its own in the neighborhood.
RiverTown is organized around the St. Johns River, and its neighborhoods, Cove, Forest, Meadows, Shores, Springs, and the 55+ community at WaterSong, are each built with water views, wetland preserves, or resort-style amenities in mind. Add in trails, pocket parks, and the RiverTown Fields hosting the local youth leagues, and it's clear how much weight the outdoors carries here..
For homeowners settling into a new lot in RiverTown, the smart move is getting the landscape design right from the start, before the yard becomes a collection of unrelated decisions made over time. Earth Works handles the process end to end, from the first site visit to the finished install, and stays on for maintenance after.

Landscaping FAQs for St. Johns County Homeowners
Yes, both communities and the surrounding St. Johns County area are part of our regular service territory. If you're local and have a project in mind, give us a call.
Earth Works can do landscape design and installation, hardscape (paver patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, seat walls, fire features), Kichler landscape lighting, water features, drainage work, and ongoing lawn maintenance in St. Johns County.
It begins with an in-store conversation about your goals, followed by a site visit. From there, we build a full design and present it at our Garden Center on Beach Blvd, where you can walk through the plan and materials before anything is finalized. If you move forward, half of the design fee rolls into the cost of the build.
Every maintenance client gets one dedicated crew, not a rotating roster. That crew reaches out before each visit and builds real knowledge of the property over time, what's been planted, what's due for trimming, what to keep an eye on. It's a different model than most lawn services run, and it shows in the results.
A franchise dispatches whoever's on the schedule. We send a team that already knows your property. Earth Works has been family-owned and based in Jacksonville since 1988, and our three divisions, landscape design, lawn care, and the Garden Center, work as one operation in a way a franchise's siloed structure isn't built to match. If something needs attention in a space we designed, the same company that designed it takes care of it.
Both stay in-house. The same company that designs the project installs it, which means there's no translation gap between the plan and the finished product. Nothing gets subcontracted out.
Paver patios, walkways, and driveways, retaining and seat walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens where the space allows, and water features like koi ponds, pondless waterfalls, and bubbling urns. Most outdoor structures fall somewhere in our wheelhouse.
Generally, yes. They hold up better than poured concrete in Florida's climate, keep their shape longer, and are simpler to repair if a section needs it. In neighborhoods like Nocatee and RiverTown, where exterior presentation carries weight, a well-installed paver driveway or patio gets noticed.
Kichler. Their systems are built for exactly the conditions St. Johns County properties deal with, heat, humidity, and salt air, which puts them a step above standard residential-grade lighting.
Yes, year-round with no seasonal gaps. The standard package covers mowing, edging, weed-eating, blowing, bed weeding and spraying, and shrub trimming. Add-ons include turf fertilization (8 treatments annually), shrub fertilization, and core aeration with top dressing.
Yes. Any installation paired with our ongoing maintenance and fertilization program carries a lifetime warranty on the plant matter. Since we're the ones maintaining the space, we catch problems early, which is what makes standing behind the work long-term possible.
Call or fill out the contact form. That first conversation is free and doesn't commit you to anything. We'll take a look at what you're working with, give you an honest read on it, and move at whatever pace works for you.
