The Pringle family has been doing business in Florida for over 75 years, and understands that along with leadership comes an expectation of excellence, and are stepping forward to offer homeowners options so that all community members can feel good about their lifestyle, their impact on the environment, and can enjoy Florida’s beauty for generations to come.
To ensure success, we have collaborated with many of Florida’s most innovative and progressive problem solvers, The University of Florida for example, and have taken a leadership role in designing eco-friendly lawns, and communities.
A few of our eco-friendly programs and designs include:
Energy Star® Rated Homes:
Pringle Development is proud to offer Energy Star® qualified homes, a trusted symbol of our commitment to energy efficiency.

“Cutting Edge” Florida-friendly Landscape Design:
Florida-friendly landscaping means the harmonious use of trees, plants and grasses that are “Mother Nature” approved, and are found naturally in Florida’s semi-tropical environment. Making use of indigenous plant species means less need for pesticides, less need for watering, and a generally maintenance free landscape.
The Florida Yards & Neighborhoods program benefits homeowners by helping them save time, money, and enjoy healthier landscapes and beautiful communities, which ultimately leads to the preservation of Florida’s potable water supply.

Efficient Irrigation Systems:
Florida produces more fresh water than anywhere else in the world, which may make water conservation seem unnecessary, but not all of that water is available for drinking or irrigation. In spite of being a peninsula, surrounded by water, Florida’s supply of potable water is not unlimited.
With well designed engineering solutions, Pringle is setting the standard for irrigation system efficiency. When combining landscape design with irrigation systems, homeowners and communities can much more easily control run-off and avoid common watering errors.
