I'm Cam Maletto, a landscape designer and plant scientist in Stuart, Florida, and I build native, edible, and tropical landscapes across the Treasure Coast.
My background, so you know who's telling you what to plant. B.S. in plant science from the University of Florida, A.A. in horticulture from Palm Beach State College, trained under an ISA certified arborist, Florida-Friendly landscaping standards, and 14 years growing things in this state. Landscape designer, plant scientist, native plant specialist.
What that buys you is this. When a plant is struggling I can usually tell you why instead of guessing, and I'll tell you straight when something isn't going to work in your spot. Most of my work comes from people calling me back for the next project, which is the only proof I trust.
Longleaf Design does three things and they all fit together.
Native landscapes, built from the plants that grew here before the bulldozers did. They feed the insects, the insects feed the birds, and the yard becomes something alive instead of something you look at.
Edible landscapes. Fruit trees, food gardens, food forests. Mango, avocado, lychee, jaboticaba, and plenty most people don't know grow here. Designed to look like a landscape and not a farm, so you get curb appeal and you get to eat off it.
Tropical gardens, the lush look people move to Florida for, done without the invasive plants that escape into the preserves.
I design them, my crew installs them, and we care for them organically after. No broadcast spraying synthetic pesticides. A planting with enough diversity handles most of its own pest pressure. When something does need a response I go after that one thing instead of spraying the whole yard and killing the good bugs with the bad.
Most yards around here are planted with things that fight our climate and feed nothing. Mine are planted with things that want to be here.
Saving native Florida while making really cool gardens.
