Common Questions

In 2026, Tampa homeowners pay between $1.00 and $3.00 per square foot for sod installation, with an average total project cost of $1,744 for a typical residential yard.

Standard monthly maintenance plans, including mowing, edging, and blowing, typically range from $120 to $150 for a standard 6,000–12,000 sq ft lot.

The best time is Fall (October–December). This allows plants to establish roots before the summer heat and avoids the peak demand season of March–May when prices and wait times are highest.

A full-yard irrigation system installation in Tampa typically costs between $3,000 and $8,000, depending on the number of zones and the complexity of the property.
