Hillsborough County, Florida
Landscaping Website Design in Tampa, FL
Landscaping in Tampa right now means working under a drought order, a city tree code and a summer fertilizer blackout. Customers notice which crews know the rules. We build landscaping websites that show you do, then host and maintain them.
Watering is restricted to one day a week, and your site should say so
The Southwest Florida Water Management District's Modified Phase III water shortage order limits lawn watering to once a week across all of Hillsborough County and has been extended through March 31, 2027. The standard schedule assigns a day by the last digit of the address, with watering allowed only from midnight to 4 a.m. or 8 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. The district reports a 12-month rainfall deficit of 15.4 inches through August 2026. Tampa has enforced watering restrictions year-round since 1992, and the city's current rules took effect April 3, 2026.
Because the order changes, your website shouldn't print a watering table. Instead, link to the city's watering page and offer what customers really want: help setting controllers to the allowed window, and advice on drought-tolerant plantings. Under the current order, annual pressure washing for appearance isn't allowed either, so don't advertise it as an add-on until the order lifts.

Fertilizer rules and certification
Tampa's fertilizer ordinance bans nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer from June 1 through September 30. Statewide, anyone applying fertilizer commercially to lawns needs the FDACS Limited Urban Commercial Fertilizer Applicator Certification, and FDACS requires proof of Green Industry Best Management Practices training before it issues the certificate. A separate limited landscape maintenance certification covers herbicides, insecticides and fungicides on ornamental beds only, not turf.
Show your certification near your services and explain the summer blackout in a sentence. It tells a homeowner why their lawn program changes in June, and it sets you apart from crews that don't follow it.

Trees need a permit in Tampa
Tampa's code protects oaks, pines, elms and other listed species larger than 5 inches in diameter measured 4.5 feet above ground. Removing or heavily pruning a protected tree requires a Tree Removal and Pruning Permit through the city's Accela portal. Hillsborough County's rules for unincorporated areas allow new sod to be watered any day for 30 days, then three days a week for the next 30, during the permitted hours.
If you handle tree work or new installs, a short page on permits and establishment watering answers the questions customers ask before they call, and shows you won't leave them with a code violation.

Who hires a landscaper in Tampa
Tampa has 413,554 residents and 166,278 households, with 50.3% of homes owner-occupied. The other half are rentals, which means property managers, HOAs and landlords are a large part of the market for weekly maintenance contracts. The rainy season runs about May 25 to October 10, with thunderstorms most afternoons and frequent lightning, and growth slows in the drier months.
Give maintenance contracts their own page with what a visit includes, and offer a separate page for installs and hardscape with your own before-and-after photos.

Replacing a landscaping website you already have?
You keep your domain. We rebuild the site on one of our designs, carry over the text and photos worth keeping, and connect the domain at launch so your current site stays up until then. How switching works

Tampa landscaping website questions
How much does a landscaping website cost?
No setup fee, and plans run month to month: Starter $24.99 (1 page), Business $34.99 (up to 3 pages) or Pro $49.99 (up to 5 pages), hosting and upkeep included. You pay the first month through secure Stripe checkout when you sign up.
Will you keep the watering rules on my site current?
We don't print the schedule, because the district changes it. Your site links to the City of Tampa's watering page so customers always see the current rules.
Can I show seasonal specials?
Yes. After launch, Amy, your AI website assistant, handles small changes like this (10 published edits a month included); anything bigger goes to our team and we'll send you a quote.
What photos do you need?
Your own work: before-and-after installs, finished beds, a crew photo if you like. We never present stock photos as your jobs.
