Built for Florida

Planned for Tampa Bay's sand, storms and water rules

Four local conditions shape every plan we draw, whichever service you start with.

  1. A shrub planted in a pocket of amended soil while water drains straight through the sand around itSandy soil
  2. Rain falling on a lawn graded away from a house toward a drainSummer storms
  3. Frost on a lawn and a hardy shrub under a clear night skyCold snaps
  4. A week with one watering day marked above a sprinkler running on a lawnOne watering day
Sandy soil
Most Florida soils are sand that holds little water or nutrients, so we prepare beds and choose plants with that in mind.
Summer storms
About 60% of the year's rain falls from June to September, so grades, drains and paver slopes carry water away from the house.
Cold snaps
Most of north Tampa Bay sits in USDA zone 9b, where the coldest winter nights average 25 to 30°F, so plants have to ride out a freeze.
One watering day
Under the current Southwest Florida Water Management District order, lawns water one day a week, so we plan turf and beds that live on it.

How it works

How a project runs

  1. Free on-site estimate

    Doug walks the property with you, looks at sun, soil, drainage and sprinkler coverage, and asks how you want to use the yard.

  2. Written quote

    One quote for the whole job, naming the plants and materials. Hand sketches are free on approved projects.

  3. Permits and approvals

    We pull the permits your job needs, flag any HOA review, and call Sunshine 811 before digging.

  4. Build

    Drainage and grading go in first, then paving, then planting and sod.

  5. Handover

    We walk the finished job with you and leave a written watering schedule for new sod and plants.

  6. Ongoing care, if you want it

    Full-service lawn maintenance on a 40-week or 50-week plan, from the team that built the yard.

  • Doug’s knowledge of the plants and skill in picking out healthy, beautiful landscaping and design… he listened to our vision and turned our landscaping into reality. Final results… just beautiful and well done. You won’t be disappointed — fair pricing too!

    Ron Connor Google review, 2024

  • I hired MedScapes earlier this year for some landscaping around my home and it turned out fantastic from design to ease of care is exactly what I asked for. When life and a new job got too busy for me to keep up with my basic lawn care, MedScapes was there to handle it for me. Now I come home to a beautifully manicured yard weekly !! …

    Ryann Roser Google review, 2024

  • Our prior landscaping was overgrown and over 20 years old. We hired Medscapes to remove all the old landscaping around our house and replant with new plants and trees. Medscapes did a great job – they worked extremely hard and delivered on everything they said they would do. …

    Michael Rosenblum Google review, 2025

  • Doug made the process of understanding what was needed and developing a plan very easy. The crews doing the clean up and new plantings were timely, pleasant, and conscious of making sure things were done right. I've also been very pleased with the weekly lawn maintenance services and their efforts in keeping the yard looking great. …

    Pedro Fierro Google review, 2023

  • We had a Great Experience with Medscapes. Doug was amazing! He worked with us on a Landscaping design of our entire front and side yards. He made lots of suggestions on plants he would recommend. He and his team selected the plants, and installed them. They worked with us on any tweaks we wanted to make after the install. …

    Phyllis Sacone Google review, 2023

  • I moved into my house in July 2022, and it desperately needed landscaping and some curb appeal. Medscapes was one of the few landscaping companies that actually responsed and showed up for an estimate. …

    Danielle Brant Google review, 2022

  • Doug & his team listen, interpret and work their magic. They turned a barren back yard into warm, beautiful, grandchild-friendly natural-looking zones. Crews are efficient, careful, thorough and personable. WOW every time Medscapes provides a service.

    Mary Jane Gwyn Google review, 2022

  • I am so happy with all the work Doug, Chris, and all the guys have done to our new home. A complete redo of plants, removal of mulch replaced by rock(best idea ever!!), and planting of magnolias and Bismarck palms!! My yard is gorgeous Florida landscape now!! …

    Jane Pavlicek Google review, 2021

  • As a business leader I know what it is like to take care of customers, and Medscapes Landscaping lives to their word. They manage our lawn service, and recently did new sod and landscape — they did it perfectly. A company that takes all the worry away.

    Thomas O’Neill Google review, 2022

  • They came out same day to look at our yard and design our project. We did all new landscaping in the front and back of our house. Their price was excellent for the quality of work and professionalism. They did fantastic — I would highly recommend Medscapes!

Pea-gravel bed with ixora, crotons and red cordylines
How do I choose a landscaping company in Wesley Chapel or Tampa?

Ask for a written quote that names the plants and materials, proof of licence and insurance, and references, then read the company's Google reviews and look at recent local work. Medscapes is licensed and insured, Doug writes every quote after walking the yard, and references are available on request.

Do landscapers charge by the hour or by the project?

Medscapes prices installation work by the project, with one written quote for the full scope after a free on-site visit. What moves the number: the size of the area, removal and haul-away, grading and drainage, equipment access and the materials you choose. Lawn maintenance runs on 40-week or 50-week plans, quoted after a walk around the property.

What happens at a free on-site estimate?

Doug walks the property with you and talks through what you want the yard to do. He checks sun and shade, soil, drainage, sprinkler coverage, access and HOA rules, and takes measurements. You then get a written quote for the whole job. The visit is free, with no obligation.

Does Medscapes do irrigation system design or sprinkler work?

No. Custom irrigation system design, new zones and sprinkler changes go to a licensed irrigation contractor. At the estimate Doug checks how your current sprinklers cover the yard, so we plan new sod and beds around the water they will actually get.

Can the same team look after my yard once it is installed?

Yes. Our full-service lawn maintenance runs on 40-week and 50-week plans and covers mowing, edging, string-trimming, blowing, and bed, hedge and shrub care. We also maintain HOA and CDD common areas and commercial sites. We do not apply fertilizer or pest treatments; for those, use an FDACS-licensed provider.

Do you pull permits for landscaping work?

Yes. We pull the permits your job needs, such as a county right-of-way permit for a new driveway apron or the City of Tampa's synthetic turf permit, and we call Sunshine 811 before digging on every job that needs it. If your HOA reviews landscape changes, we flag it before work is scheduled.

Do the same watering rules apply in Wesley Chapel and Tampa?

Not always. As of October 2026, the Southwest Florida Water Management District order limits lawns to one watering day a week in Pasco and Hillsborough through 31 March 2027. New sod and plants get 60 days of establishment watering in Pasco and unincorporated Hillsborough, while the City of Tampa runs its own 30-day schedule. We check the rules for your address before we plan the job.
