The Ranches neighborhood in Parkland, established in 1963, is renowned for its expansive lots beginning at 2½ acres. These properties showcase unique custom homes, barns, and occasional small farms. New residents often delight in the abundant green space but feel unsure how to beautify and maximize it.
Mike Squillace, owner of All Terrain Landscaping, has spent years transforming these large estates. His expertise helps homeowners bring any outdoor vision to life—whether a small corner refresh or a multi-acre masterpiece.
A standout project illustrates Mike’s capabilities. A new neighbor, referred to as CF, envisioned a backyard resort inspired by a famous Bahamas property. He wanted the largest residential pool in Broward County at the time: 145 feet long and 45 feet wide. The design also included a 20-person Jacuzzi, lazy river, bridges, waterfalls, a premium sound system, and lush tropical landscaping.
Mike eagerly partnered with top pool builders, sound technicians, electricians, and 15 other contractors to coordinate the complex build. He confidently wagered with CF that the project could be completed in just 90 days. In return, CF promised a grand opening party with Mike’s choice of theme if the deadline was met.
On day 90, the backyard looked spectacular. Everything was in place except the water. Moments later, two 18,000-gallon water trucks arrived and filled the massive pool. Mike had delivered on time. The celebration featured Mai Kai fire dancers, a tropical menu, and a large gathering of friends and neighbors. It was a night to remember.
This ambitious project highlights Mike’s ability to manage large-scale transformations while paying attention to every detail. Today, he continues helping homeowners throughout our area. No vision is too big or too small. Whether redesigning a back patio, adding a guest house, installing water features, or creating seamless transitions across acres of property, Mike’s horticultural knowledge and project management skills ensure outstanding results.
Beyond major projects, Mike also specializes in enhancing curb appeal through custom lighting, elegant entryways, tropical plant design, irrigation solutions, and outdoor entertainment spaces. Homeowners appreciate his hands-on approach, attention to detail, and ability to blend beauty with long-term functionality. Every property is thoughtfully designed to complement the homeowner’s lifestyle while creating an inviting outdoor environment for family and guests alike.
His reputation for reliability and creativity makes All Terrain Landscaping the trusted choice for custom outdoor living spaces. Mike still loves sitting down with property owners to discuss ideas and turn them into beautiful, functional realities that enhance both lifestyle and property value.
