The best time to do landscaping largely depends on the specific landscaping services you are interested in.
Fall (September to November) is a great time for planting trees, shrubs and cool-season annuals. The somewhat “cooler” temps provide optimal conditions for new plants to establish roots before the heat of the summer.
Spring (March to May) is another ideal time for planting in Tampa Bay, as the weather is mild and plants have the entire growing season ahead of them to establish and thrive.
Winter (December to February) in Tampa Bay is mild, making it a decent time for planting trees and shrubs. We typically have less rainfall which can make it easier to control watering and ensure plants are not overwatered. Winter also brings cooler temps and less stress to plants. It is a good time for pruning and general maintenance of your landscape.
Summer (June to August) in Tampa Bay can be hot and humid, making it a time for more maintenance. Most plants will do just fine in the Summer. However, some may require more water and maintenance. This is a good time for maintaining your landscape, such as weekly mowing services and weed control.
