Michael Geist's Yard Works · Est. 2014

The portfolio of an estate that earns a second look.

Reel-mowed lawns. Florida-native landscape design. Container plantings, hedge topiary, and the floral detail that distinguishes a sodded yard from a designed property — across Oviedo, Winter Park, Lake Mary, and Seminole County.

Every property in this portfolio was finished by hand ‚Äî by the same operator who came back to mow it.

Estate-level work is built on continuity. The crew that installs your sod is the crew that reel-mows it. The hand that shapes your topiaries is the same one that checks the irrigation each Tuesday. What you see below is the result of that continuity across more than a decade of Central Florida properties.

No. 01 — Reel-Mowed Zoysia

Estate Lawns

Empire and Innovation Zoysia, cylinder-mowed at 0.75–1.5". The diamond-and-stripe pattern only a reel mower can produce — and only on a lawn that's been level-prepped to receive it.

Curb-side, Oviedo

St. Augustine, the way it's supposed to look.

Uniform color. Dense canopy. No yellow patches at the irrigation heads. The difference is a maintenance schedule that respects the cultivar — and a crew that adjusts mowing height by the week, not the season.

No. 02 — Lush St. Augustine

St. Augustine

Floratan and ProVista — the dense, broad-blade carpet that defines a Florida front yard. Maintained at the right height, the right water, the right fertilizer schedule for the season.

By hand, by design

The shaping is done by hand. It always was.

Hedge topiaries take ten minutes of hand-shear work each visit. Power shears blow through faster but tear the leaf, leaving a brown halo two days later. Estate work means choosing the slower tool.

No. 03 — Landscape Installations

Landscape Installations

Front-entry compositions, container plantings, hedge topiary, and Zone 9b-appropriate beds built to live through July storm season and August heat without losing form.

No. 04 — Floral Detail

Floral Detail

The seasonal color that distinguishes a designed landscape from a sodded one. Roses, foxglove, plumeria, camellia, native bottlebrush and milkweed — composed for sequential bloom across Central Florida's twelve growing months.
