South Florida's heavy-equipment landscape specialist.
About
DeMarco & Sons Landscape & Design Group is a heavy-equipment landscape contractor serving South Florida. The firm owns specialized machinery—including a Cat 323 excavator and its own crane—to handle jobs that require resources most landscapers don't have.
The company offers custom landscape design and installation from concept through completion, with an ISA-certified arborist on staff. It specializes in large specimen trees and palms (50-, 60-, and 80-foot European fan palms installed by the company's own crew), drainage solutions and drain-field replacement, earthwork and excavation, lawn restoration after construction or storms, and custom irrigation tuned to South Florida's climate and soil. It also installs landscape lighting.
DeMarco is not a weekly mowing service. The firm focuses on full-property projects and repairs where heavy equipment, specialized expertise, and fast turnaround matter. It has performed this work for 25+ years. Open Monday–Saturday, 7 AM–5:30 PM.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does DeMarco Landscaping own its own equipment?
Yes. The company owns a Cat 323 excavator, a crane, and millions of dollars in specialty equipment that most South Florida landscapers rent rather than own. This allows the firm to take on larger jobs and work faster than competitors.
Does DeMarco have an arborist on staff?
Yes, an ISA-certified arborist works with the company and helps with plant and tree selection.
Is this a weekly lawn-mowing service?
No. DeMarco specializes in larger projects—custom landscape design and installation, big-tree placement, drainage work, and restoration—not recurring maintenance.
What are the hours?
Monday–Saturday, 7 AM–5:30 PM. Closed Sunday.
Hiring a Landscaper in Hollywood, Florida
In Florida, landscapers who perform certain work—such as large excavation, grading, or structural work—may need to be licensed with the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB). The type of license depends on the scope of work. You can verify whether a contractor holds a current license by searching the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) license database online at myfloridalicense.com. Search by the contractor's name or license number to confirm their status.
Before hiring a landscaper for a major project, ask whether they hold a license for the work they plan to do and request the license number. If the job involves drainage work, earthwork, or excavation—especially on a large property—these services may fall under CILB regulation. Understanding what work requires a license in your jurisdiction helps protect you and ensures the contractor is qualified for the job.
How do I look up a landscaper's license in Florida?
Visit myfloridalicense.com and use the license search tool. You can search by the contractor's name or license number. The system will show whether the license is active and in good standing. [1, 2]
What types of contractor licenses exist in Florida?
Florida has certified contractors (can work anywhere in the state after passing a state exam) and registered contractors (licensed only for the jurisdiction where they registered). Licensed contractors are designated by an occupation code beginning with 'C' (certified) or 'R' (registered). [1]
When do I need a licensed contractor for landscaping work?
Work that involves construction, alteration, repair, or demolition of structures or improvements to real estate may require a licensed contractor depending on the scope and size of the project. Large excavation, grading, and drainage work often fall under licensing requirements. Ask your contractor and local building department whether a license is required for your specific job. [1]
Do I need a permit for landscaping work in Florida?
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the project and local building codes. Work involving drainage systems, significant earthwork, or structural improvements may require a permit. Contact your local building department or ask your contractor whether your project needs one. [3, 4]
