Since 1982 our goal has been to create beautiful outdoor environments for our customers that increase their personal enjoyment and property value. We are dedicated to excellence, using only the finest quality products, construction, and planting methods that our industry has to offer. Our customer service is second to none. Residential Landscape, Irrigation and Hardscape Construction are areas where we have a special talent for unique design, innovative installation techniques and quality projects that set us apart from other landscape companies.
For more than 30 years, Tommy Todd Landscape & Design has been transforming the landscapes of the greater Tampa Bay area. Founded in 1982 by Tommy Todd, the company initially focused on grass plug lawn conversions, lawn and ornamental pest control and residential landscape projects. We expanded into grass plug marketing, tree farming and retail lawn and garden centers before settling into our niche as Design/Build Landscape and Hardscape Contractors. Although we have done many renowned commercial landscape projects like World Woods Golf Course, Black Diamond Golf Course, Raymond James Financial, Stetson Law School, Eckerd College and many others, our focus and 90% of our business has come from homeowners just like you.
We work closely with Premier Outdoor Lighting and their design staff to create breathtaking results. Their professional installation with state-of the-art energy efficient lighting components adds the finishing touch to our beautiful landscape projects. The illumination they design is subtle yet striking with moonlighting large trees, up-lighting specimen palms and accent lighting your home's architectural features. Pathways, patios, pool decks and docks connect your outdoor spaces and lighting adds security and ambiance for entertaining and relaxation.
We start by removing and disposing of existing plant materials and sod before bringing in Tommy Todd's special planting soil and soil amendments. Irrigation is the first element to be installed. Our irrigation specialists build new or retrofit your existing system for your new landscape trees, shrubs, ground covers and turf areas. Large trees and palms are the first to be planted. Once these are situated and staked, the shrubs and ground cover plants are laid out according to the design plan mutually agreed upon.
The option of our Landscape Management Services for maintaining your landscape investment is available to all of our customers. We will manage your property by mowing, edging, line trimming, weeding, and pruning all shrubs, ground covers, ornamental trees and palms using best management practices. Our crews will blow clean your walks, patio, driveway, and pool deck. You also have the option of choosing additional fertilization, and pest/weed control. We help clients manage the health of their trees and shrubs through supplemental, seasonal or year round landscape maintenance services such as subsurface watering of trees and shrubs and weed removal.
We install innovative automatic irrigation systems that are designed to conserve water by separating, wherever possible, turf zones from ornamental plant beds. Depending on the water supply (potable, well, or reclaimed) we design our systems with components from the leading manufacturers to work best with your water quality, volume and pressure. Getting water to your landscaped areas is vital in your plant's survival. At Tommy Todd Landscape & Design we install innovative automatic irrigation systems that will separate your turf areas from ornamental landscape beds.
Maybe you are looking for a simple but elegant garden design for your front yard or courtyard. Perhaps you have a vision of your own backyard resort complete with a new or remodeled pool and spa surrounded by lush landscaping. An outdoor kitchen and a pergola with a new clay brick or travertine deck could give you a great outdoor living room to enjoy with your family and friends. See our Portfolio of projects. Our landscape design staff utilizes the latest CAD technology to create our two dimensional plans for both landscape and hardscape.
We work very closely with Freestyle Pools & Spas, Inc. when including a new or remodeled pool in our landscape and hardscape plans. Freestyle handles the pool permitting, shell construction, plumbing, electrical, inside pool finish, automated equipment, tile, and coping. We install the new deck (travertine, flagstone, clay brick or concrete pavers) along with deco drains to handle surface water runoff. Travertine makes a very cool deck surface that has timeless elegance when installed in the French (Asher) square pattern.
In concert with your landscape plants, which are considered the softscape, are all of the inanimate elements in your landscape, which are collectively called the hardscape. Hardscaping is the art of designing and constructing outdoor living spaces that are compatible with the interior dcor. Pools, decks, patios and terraces are just extensions of the interior rooms; materials must flow between, in both color and texture, to create a harmonious environment. We artfully and tastefully use combinations of elements such as concrete, stone, brick, travertine and wood in our hardscaping projects to construct patios, walkways, driveways, pool decks, retaining walls, fire pits, fences, arbors, gazebos and pergolas that tie in with the architecture of your home and the elegance of softscape design that is reputably Tommy Todd.
We are excited to announce that Perimeter Defence LLC has merged into Tommy Todd Landscape & Design to become our new Fencing Division!

Great project management, we love our new backyard oasis. Thank you Justin! Highly recommended!
Tommy transformed our yard from a messy heap into a stunning and peaceful retreat. He worked with us up-front to provide not only an estimate but a custom design plan for our property and maintenance preference and he worked with us on making sure we were happy with it. His execution exceeded our expectations, and our yard is now beautiful - it is a joy to go outside. Also very on-time and on-budget, thanks to the crews for working hard and getting this done just in time for the Holidays!
Come see Justin and Jeff at the Tampa Bay Home Show this weekend - they are ready to answer all your questions so you can start designing your own custom outdoor living space and enjoy gorgeous days like today right in your backyard!
We are excited to be back at the Home Show after a long 2020 hiatus - come see us February 27 & 28th at the Coliseum!
Our front office landscape is getting a seasonal refresh with colorful and cool-weather hardy Geraniums, thanks Alvaro and Martin!
