Why Miami homes get this: Salt-tolerant landscaping (sea grape, coconut palm, sabal palm) dominates coastal properties, with specialist care required for hurricane pruning and post-storm cleanup. Lawn pest pressure (chinch bug, mole cricket) is intense in St. Augustine grass — the dominant turf — and irrigation systems must include rain sensors and use reclaimed water in many Miami-Dade zones.
