The Website sports a New Look

The Naples Daily News Building

Working with Johnson Engineering of Naples and Dario Designs of Farmingham, Massachusetts, felt tip design group is providing landscape and hardscape design for the Naples Daily News' state-of-the-art building. The new building is slated to begin operations in August, 2009.

The planting design's concept creates a campus-like setting around the building. The building's front plantings represent a stylized treatment that reminds one of the beach environment in Naples.

Keep checking back, because it will be the next Featured Project.

"Green" landscape maintenance

Felt tip design group started a small green gardening division called Your Green Garden Advisor a year ago . This new service is tailored to the needs of southwest Florida home and business owners who wish to stop using so much fertilizer, pesticide, and water on their lawns and gardens.We have met with several Naples residents who contacted us to help with their existing landscapes, and to date we have saved over 500,000 gallons of water per year! How? by measuring how much they were watering and adjusting their watering schedules to just what their landscapes needed and no more. A permainent link to the website, called "going green" is in the navigation bar at the top of the page, or visit the website.
