We have had our yard landscaped but are worried we are going to have to replace some plants that are doing poorly. I’d like to find someone , who is familiar with what grows well here, and have them walk the yard with me and give me ideas and an estimate. I’d need them to purchase and plant. It won’t be a huge job but I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a company or individual who does something like this. Thank you in advance.

You can take pictures of your plants and go to the Sumter County Building in Pinellas Plaza and discuss with the Master gardener people, they are there twice a month as I recall. I think they also have a book that would have all of the info you will need. The other question you need to have answered is what will the plants look like 10 years from now, some get really big.

Yes, drive by some of the neighborhoods that are 5-10 years old and you will see who got the deals because you cannot see their house anymore.

Local Roots nursery, ask for Lindsey. She helped up tremendously. Go and actually look at the plants and see what you like. They install as well.
