Landscaping Tampa FL | Call Make It Mikes

A key strategy is selecting the right plants. Our designs often incorporate native Florida species that are naturally more resistant to local pests. We also plan for proper spacing and airflow, which reduces the damp, crowded conditions that attract insects. By building a healthy, balanced ecosystem from the start, your lawn becomes less inviting to destructive pests.

Absolutely. Often, dying shrubs are a result of being planted in the wrong location—too much sun, not enough water, or poor soil drainage. Our design process includes a thorough site analysis to match plants with the specific conditions of your yard. We create a planting plan that ensures each shrub is in its ideal spot to thrive, reducing plant stress and mortality.

Look for a design that addresses our local climate and common problems. A good plan will feature drought-tolerant and pest-resistant plants, efficient irrigation zones tailored to different plant needs, and proper grading to ensure water drains away from your home and plant roots. It should be a sustainable blueprint for a healthy landscape that requires less intervention over time.
