Michael W. Forness is a design-build landscaping specialist whose career is characterized by technical discipline and a strong connection to the coastal environment he serves. Also known informally as “Mike” or “Michael Forness”, the New Smyrna Beach-based landscape contractor focuses primarily on high-end residential landscaping, where he has more than two decades of hands-on experience.

In 2001, he founded Coastal Landscapes of Volusia, a company focused on residential landscaping projects throughout the New Smyrna Beach area. Since establishing the Business, he has worked primarily with homeowners seeking outdoor environments that balance functionality with the natural coastal setting. Many of his projects involve waterfront and oceanfront homes where drainage, soil conditions, and environmental exposure require careful planning and long-term consideration.

Rather than treating landscaping as a separate decorative feature, Michael Forness views outdoor spaces as an extension of the home itself. This perspective has remained an important part of his professional philosophy over the years.

Through years of practical work, he has developed methods designed to support durability and long-term functionality in outdoor spaces. In the market associated with Michael Forness New Smyrna, his projects reflect a steady focus on organization, usability, and dependable project execution.

His background in Business has helped him balance field operations with administrative management.

Outside of work, Mike enjoys activities connected to Florida’s coastal lifestyle, especially offshore fishing and surfing along the east coast. Family life also remains important to him. His wife contributes to the company as office manager and marketing director, supporting daily operations and long-term planning for the Business.

Together, they have three daughters pursuing different educational and career paths. One is continuing her education in nursing, another is preparing for a career in accounting, and their youngest daughter remains active in academics and competitive soccer while attending high school.

He has also remained connected to the local community through support for youth athletics and school sports programs.
