Lombardo Landscaping & Water Features
Landscapes, hardscapes, water features and lighting for Southwest Florida homes, from Fort Myers and Estero to Bonita Springs and Naples. Drawn in CAD and 3D before a single paver is set, then built by our own team.
What we design and build
Planting, stone, water, light and sound, designed as one composition and built by the people who drew it. With Lombardo Pools and Lombardo Luxury Build Group, that extends to the pool, the kitchen and the roof over it.
2D CAD plans and 3D imaging before anything is built.

Signature projects
Resort grounds: a palm-lined arrival and a boulder waterfall garden planted for island conditions.
A circular paver terrace and fire pit framed by a Canary Island date palm, set where the view opens to the water.
Large-format pavers in a grid with turf joints and a sculptural island bed, drawn to the lines of the house.
A koi stream and falls running past a tiki hut toward the water, built as a balanced ecosystem.
More screened living space around the pool, with a deck sized for loungers and a lake view kept wide open.
A long paver drive that bends around a palm island, with borders that hold the line and planting that frames the house.
Medjool date palms and sweeping color beds that turn a long frontage into an arrival.
Landscape design
This is a real Lombardo concept plan. Zoom in on the numbered notes to see how a pool, a fire feature, a pavilion kitchen and hundreds of plants are drawn, counted and priced before construction.

Clean lines, quiet luxury, nothing extra.
Large-format pavers with turf or stone joints, sculptural planting in sweeping drifts, linear fire and water that read as architecture. The landscape follows the lines of the house and leaves room for the view.

Formal, generous and built to impress on arrival.
Circular motor courts in brick and tumbled pavers, tiered fountains, Italian cypress columns and date palms in pairs. Symmetry at the entry, softness in the garden rooms behind it.
Materials and features

Lush, layered and alive with water.
Boulder waterfalls, koi streams and dense layers of palms, bromeliads and bold foliage. The garden feels like a private resort, with paths that wind through it and water you hear before you see.

Relaxed, bright and made for life by the water.
Elevated coastal homes framed by coconut and date palms, brick or light pavers, pool decks sized for real lounging and lighting that makes evenings the best part of the day.

Meet the founder
Matt started his first landscaping venture as a teenager, then made the move from Buffalo, New York to Southwest Florida. Here he worked through construction, site development and architectural design roles, the years that laid the groundwork for Lombardo Landscaping and, later, Lombardo Pools and Lombardo Luxury Build Group.
He is a Florida Gulf Coast University business graduate who holds Florida's Certified Building Contractor and Commercial Pool Contractor licenses, and he still sets the design direction for the team. His view is simple: you can teach concepts and techniques, but a designer needs an artist's eye and a real passion for the work.

Lombardo Landscape (and Will McCroskery, our Project Manager) totally transformed our property in Naples. They worked closely with us to plan and install an entire new landscape plan, including working with our HOA on irrigation and drainage matters.

Service areas
We design and build across all of Lee and Collier counties, from Pine Island to Marco Island. Each town asks something different of a landscape: island conservation rules on Sanibel, canal lots in Cape Coral, club review boards in Naples. Seven have their own pages; choose yours.
Home base. Our showroom is on Bucks Lane, and the City of Palms is where Lombardo started.
Gulf-front estates, club communities and some of our most detailed design work.
Lake-view lanais, golf community lots and homes along the Imperial River.
Where Matt lives. Preserve and lake views, and community guidelines we know well.
Native-first planting for an island that takes conservation seriously.
Canal and Gulf lots where salt, wind and seawalls shape every choice.
Canal homes, pool cages and backyards built around the water.
Building in Naples, Fort Myers or on the islands? We are already there.
The Lombardo process
A design-build firm owns the whole result. One team draws it, prices it from the drawing, and builds it, so nothing gets lost between an architect, a contractor and a crew.
We meet at the property or in the Fort Myers showroom to talk through how you want to live outside, what the site needs, and the scope of the design. You leave with a clear design agreement before any drawing begins.
Our drafters produce a dimensioned CAD plan and realistic 3D imagery of the landscape, day and night, then walk you through it for feedback.
We revise the design until it is right, then price it from the plan's own quantities. The construction proposal lays out cost and timeline line by line.
Once you approve, we sign, schedule the build and take on the coordination behind it, so the build starts on a set date with everyone working from the same drawings.
Our crews build to the drawings. A project manager runs the job and our project coordinator keeps you updated as each phase finishes.
We walk the finished project with you, make sure every detail is right, and back the work with a warranty for peace of mind.
Design-build in Southwest Florida
Great outdoor spaces are not planted. They are planned. For more than twenty years Matthew Lombardo has designed landscapes for the Southwest Florida climate, and his team still draws every project before it is built.
FAQ
We design and build throughout Lee and Collier counties, most often in Fort Myers, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Sanibel Island, Marco Island and Cape Coral. Our showroom is at 7200 Bucks Ln, Ste 1, in Fort Myers.
We are a licensed design-build contractor (Florida Certified Residential Contractor CRC1331625) with an in-house design team that produces CAD plans and 3D imagery. In Florida, the title "landscape architect" is reserved for professionals licensed under Chapter 481, so we describe our work as landscape design. For most residential projects, a design-build team is the faster, more accountable route. Here is how to decide which you need.
Yes. Every project begins with a dimensioned 2D plan, and most include realistic 3D imagery so you can judge materials, scale and lighting, day and night, before anything is built. You can explore a real Lombardo concept plan on this page.
Yes, through our sister companies. Lombardo Pools holds the pool license and Lombardo Luxury Build Group handles outdoor kitchens, covered structures and larger builds, so one design vision carries across landscape, pool and build.
Most designs take a few weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Installation timelines vary with scope and are set out in your proposal before you sign.
Yes. Our showroom at 7200 Bucks Ln, Ste 1, Fort Myers is open for consultations, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It is the easiest way to see materials and finishes in person.
