Grasses & Bamboo

Enhance your Tallahassee landscape with the timeless beauty and versatility of ornamental grasses and bamboo. At Dickerson Landscaping, we specialize in integrating these plants to create dynamic, low-maintenance, and sustainable outdoor spaces that thrive in North Florida’s climate.

Benefits of Ornamental Grasses and Bamboo:

• Low Maintenance: Once established, these plants require minimal care, reducing the need for frequent watering, fertilizing, or mowing.

• Erosion Control: The extensive root systems of ornamental grasses help stabilize soil, preventing erosion on slopes and embankments.

• Year-Round Interest: With varying textures, colors, and heights, these plants provide visual appeal throughout the seasons, enhancing the aesthetic of any landscape.

• Environmental Benefits: Bamboo is known for its rapid growth and ability to produce more oxygen compared to other plants, contributing positively to air quality.

Ornamental Grasses Suitable for Tallahassee:

• Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris): Native to Florida, this grass is celebrated for its pinkish-purple plumes in the fall, adding a soft, airy texture to gardens.

• Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum): Known for its graceful, arching foliage and feathery flower spikes, it adds movement and texture to landscapes.

Bamboo Varieties for Tallahassee Landscapes:

• Clumping Bamboo: Ideal for creating privacy screens or windbreaks, clumping bamboo grows in tight clusters, making it easier to manage in residential settings.

• Bamboo Muhly (Muhlenbergia dumosa): Despite its name, this plant resembles bamboo and offers a delicate, airy appearance without the invasive tendencies of traditional bamboo species.
