Scott Lewis' Gardening

Scott Lewis' Gardening & Trimming, Inc. was established in 1976 and has spent over four decades designing, installing, and maintaining landscapes across Palm Beach Island and West Palm Beach. The firm works on private estates and public institutional projects, bringing deep horticultural knowledge and understanding of the region's microclimate.

The business offers landscape design and installation, ongoing maintenance and garden care, irrigation and drainage systems, ficus hedging and topiary, palm and tropical specimen care, and seasonal color and specialty planting. Whether the scope is comprehensive estate landscaping or weekly maintenance, the team combines craftsman attention to detail with long-term client relationships.

Landscapers in Florida may or may not require a state construction license, depending on the scope of work. Before hiring, you can verify a landscaper's credentials through the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR). The DBPR's Construction Industry Licensing Board oversees contractor licensing and maintains a searchable license database.

To check whether a landscaper holds a valid license and to review any disciplinary history, use the DBPR's online license search at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by the business name or the contractor's name. If a contractor holds a license, they will have been issued either a certified designation (which allows contracting statewide) or a registered designation (limited to specific jurisdictions).

When planning landscape work—especially projects involving drainage, irrigation, or significant structural changes—confirm that your contractor understands any local codes and permitting requirements that may apply. It's worth asking upfront whether the scope of your project requires permits and what the contractor's process is for handling them.
