If you’re not sure where to start, our team is happy to help you choose plants that fit your sunlight, soil, watering habits, and maintenance preferences.

Pensacola Plant Nursery for Coastal & Subtropical Landscapes

Pensacola’s climate is unique—you need plants that can handle salt air, summer storms, hot sun, and occasional cold snaps. Our nursery is curated with that in mind.

We regularly stock options that work well in and around Pensacola, including:


  • Heat-tolerant shrubs and hedges for privacy and property lines

  • Flowering perennials and pollinator-friendly plants to attract butterflies and bees

  • Ornamental grasses and groundcovers that help with erosion and sandy soils

  • Palms and small trees that add height and a “vacation” feel to your backyard

  • Low-maintenance plants for busy homeowners, rental properties, and vacation homes


Tell us what you’re trying to solve—too much sun, messy spots where grass won’t grow, or areas that always feel flat and boring—and we’ll help you mix plants, décor, and other outdoor solutions to make it work.

Outdoor Décor, Containers & Finishing Touches

Great landscaping isn’t just plants; it’s the details that make your yard feel finished and inviting. At 1st Impression Nursery & Outdoor Solutions you’ll also find:


  • Decorative pots, planters, and urns in different sizes and finishes

  • Garden décor and seasonal accents to refresh your space throughout the year

  • Outdoor accessories that pair well with patios, decks, and pool areas

Need help visualizing how everything will look together? Bring photos of your yard on your phone and we can help you pull a cohesive look from plants, containers, and décor.


Artificial Turf & Low-Maintenance Outdoor Solutions

If you love the idea of a green lawn but you’re tired of mowing, watering, or dealing with bare patches, we can also guide you toward low-maintenance options like artificial turf.

The 1st Impression family installs high-quality turf systems for:

  • Pet-friendly yards and dog runs

  • Backyard putting greens and practice areas

  • Play areas and family spaces

  • Pool surrounds and high-traffic zones

Curious about whether turf is right for your space? When you visit the nursery, we can walk you through how turf and live plantings can work together for a beautiful, easy-care yard. To learn more about the turf side of our services, visit About 1st Impression Turf.

Landscaping & Outdoor Projects, Start to Finish

Beyond being a local plant nursery and garden center, our team can also help with larger outdoor projects. If you’re planning more than just a few new shrubs, ask us about design and installation.

We can help with:

  • Front-yard and backyard landscape design

  • Planting trees, shrubs, and flower beds

  • Creating welcoming entryways and outdoor entertaining areas

  • Solutions for problem spots where grass won’t grow

  • Refreshing older, overgrown landscaping

When your project calls for more than plants—like turf, outdoor living upgrades, or specialty installations—we can connect you with the experts at 1st Impression Turf. Learn more about their services on the main site here: 1st Impression Turf.
