Tampa Bay Landscaper - Landscaping Project

Here is a good example of a before and after with a recently completed landscape project in the Apollo Beach, Florida area. A Quality Plant met with the owner of the home and plans were made to replace the "Builder Special" landscape package with a more tropical look.The palms were transplanted to the back yard and all the other plants with the exception of the flax lilies and the mammy crotons were removed.
A Quality Plant installed 9 Flax Lilies to reinforce the look around the Royal Palm to the left of the driveway and one additional Mammy Croton. The Royal Palm added much needed height to this side of the house. Special care is required to transplant a Royal Palm with no damage to the sensitive Grey Wood.
The Fungus infested Podocarpus was replaced with a Dracenia marginata, the Crinum Lily was replaced with a European Fan Palm and the sickly Queen Palm was replaced with another Royal Palm.
The Pine Bark chips were removed and replaced with Cypress Mulch. Why not Red Mulch? No contrast with the Mammy Crotons. Cypress makes the Mammy Crotons "Pop".
Finally, A Quality Plant installed 6 Purple Lantana around the Live Oak at the street.

Washingtonia Palms / Washington Palms
A Quality Plant shipped out a load of the cold hardy palms "Washingtonia robusta" commonly known as the Washingtonia or Washington Palm. The Washingtonia is named after ... You guessed it ... George Washington!

The Washingtonia is Cold Hardy, Salt Tolerant and Drought Tolerant. The palm can grow to heights in excess of 100 ft and is often removed from residential and commercial landscapes for this reason.

There are two different types of Washingtonia Palms:


The Washingtonia Palm is fast growing and affordable and makes a great addition to the landscape.
