Landscaping in Tampa is live oaks, St. Augustine, and an irrigation habit that has to survive gulf downpours. The lawn wants water in a dry stretch and then collapses into fungus when afternoon storms arrive every day and the zones keep running. Shaded turf under oaks thins. Bayfront yards take more salt in the breeze than a lot farther up the city. Start with mowing, irrigation, drainage, oak work, or a bed that washed out.
Irrigation is how the grass stays alive and how the house gets into trouble. Heads aimed at stucco, a valve stuck open, and a schedule that ignores a week of thunder all push water where it should not go. If the neighborhood uses reclaimed water, it stays off the hose bib you drink from. Say whether you need heads repaired, a zone added, or a controller replaced. Then talk about grade. A swale that runs toward the door, or soil against the wall, turns a storm into an indoor problem.
Oaks are the canopy and the liability. Limbs over the shingles scrape and fall. Roots find old sewer lines. Moss and leaf drop clog gutters until the next gulf storm overflows the valley. Pruning an oak is not the same job as pruning a palm, and a palm skinned into a feather duster is a worse sail in a blow. Say whether you need clearance off the roof, a removal, or debris hauled after a storm that already happened.
Yard damage and house damage split at the wall. Limbs on the lawn are cleanup. A punctured roof is roofing. Standing flood water is not wind shredding a hedge. If a claim is open, do not mash those into one sentence. Describe the shade, the bay exposure, and whether water sits after the daily storm. Call the number on this page.
