Frequently Asked Questions


Why Tampa Landscape Design & Installation?


1.  Tampa Landscape Design professionals want your landscape to look better and better over time, as well as immediate enjoyment.     


2.  Tampa Landscape Design is not affiliated with one nursery or supply company, so we aren't limited to what's overstocked or common.   


3.  Tampa Landscape Design focuses on taking advantage of the plant's natural characteristics, including scent, texture, mature growth, and family friendliness.  We combine colors, textures, structures, scent, wildlife attraction and country of origin to create a specific ambience. 


4.  We are artist gardeners who love creating that perfect outdoor oasis, combining hardscapes, fire pit or fireplace, deck & pergola, lighting, irrigation and water features. 


Do you work with residential or commercial customers?


We work with anyone who wants something special.  Our focus is creating a certain style and function for your outdoor spaces using lovely landscaping, style-specific hardscapes and unique garden structures.  We can design a visually appealing, yet minimal cost landscape or an outdoor living area that will become the neighborhood showpiece.


Is your initial consultation free?


Depends on the situation.


What should we have ready for the first consultation?


To maximize both our busy schedules, we ask that you have clippings of ideas you like, and features you would like to explore.  If you like our vision and landscape design style, we will sign a contract and receive a 50% design fee deposit, and your property survey for measurements, easements and any new structures. 


Do you give landscape design ideas at the first meeting?


All designs are one-of-a-kind and  site specific.  To make responsible recommendations, we need time to research all plant ideas based on site and budget constraints, as well as how best to  blend your architecture and lifestyle wants.  Tampa Landscape Design often completely changes ideas during the design process based on site constraints, budget amendments, and permitting issues.


How are  fees determined?


Fees are determined based on approximate hours expected to complete the design:


  • Landscape square footage

  • Level of desired client involvement

  • Intricacy of design:  Number of type of plants, number of drawings

  • Hardscapes: patio, walkways, knee walls, driveway

  • Special features: berms, fountains, fire pits, lighting, irrigation, putting green

  • Structures:  Arbors, Trellises, Espaliers, Decks, benches, etc.

  • Site constraints, Code restrictions and investigations

  • Project management requirements



Would you consult with us for an hourly rate?     Yes.
