Our Approach

Gardens Built for the Long Term

We aim to beautify the places where people go to unwind from the daily stress of life. By providing green spaces, water features, and beautiful gardens, people can relax, enjoy, and take pride in their homes — whether they spend time there alone or entertain.

We install projects with long-term success in mind. With decades of experience behind us, we know what will survive and thrive in the unique climate of South Florida.

Our highest priorities are customer service and attention to detail. Communication with clients is paramount for a quality end product and for referrals. We keep job sites as clean as possible and focus on the little details so everything comes out perfect.

Dependability

Reliability and being on time — every site walk, every installation day, every stewardship visit.

Creativity

Original designs that reflect the property, the architecture, and how you use the outdoor space.

Clean & Professional

Licensed and insured. Quiet job sites. Vendor-approved at every gated community we serve.

Long-Term Value

We design for year 10, not just the install photos. Plants placed at the right spacing to grow into the design — not to fill it immediately.

The Team

Jennifer Mennuti & Travis Maple

Jennifer Mennuti — landscape designer and co-founder of Dreamscape Gardens

Jennifer Mennuti

Landscape Designer & Horticulturist

  • B.S. Ornamental Horticulture — Virginia Tech
  • Intern, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, Coral Gables
  • Garden design study abroad — England, Ireland, Wales
  • 25 years as a South Florida horticulturist

Jennifer leads every design — from the initial site walk and hand-sketched concept plan through plant selection and first-year stewardship. Her horticulture degree means she names every plant on every plan, and her Fairchild internship gave her an unmatched grounding in South Florida's tropical species palette.

She hand-selects plants from nurseries spanning Homestead to Loxahatchee — knowing which growers have the specimen stock at the size, health, and rootball quality a luxury installation demands.

Travis Maple — water feature engineer and co-founder of Dreamscape Gardens

Travis Maple

Water Feature Engineer & Landscape Contractor

  • Business studies — Pittsburgh State University
  • 20+ years in South Florida landscaping
  • Specialist: water features, irrigation repair & maintenance
  • Vendor-approved at all major Boca Raton gated communities

Travis engineers and installs every water feature — pondless waterfalls, fountains, birdbaths, and koi ponds. His two decades of irrigation work in South Florida means he understands the underground infrastructure that determines whether a landscape thrives or fails.

Travis also leads installation logistics: crew scheduling, HOA paperwork, community vendor approvals, and on-site supervision. He's the reason Dreamscape Gardens projects run on schedule.

How We Source

Hand-Selected from Homestead to Loxahatchee

Most landscape companies order from a distributor catalog. We source directly from nurseries spanning the length of South Florida — from Homestead in the south to Loxahatchee in the north.

This matters for specimen plants. A Silver Bismarck Palm at 20 feet of clear trunk requires finding the right field-grown stock — not a container-grown substitute from a broker. Jennifer knows which growers have what, at what quality, and at what price. That knowledge is not available from a catalog.

We are happy to be the second opinion on any quote you've received. Bring us the plan and the plant list — we'll tell you what we would change, and why.
