How it works

From first walk-through to final walkthrough

A landscape project shouldn't feel like a gamble. Here's the arc every Green Thumb project follows.

  1. Step 1

    Walk the yard

    A free on-site consultation. We listen to how you want to use the space and flag what the site will and won't allow.

  2. Step 2

    Design & quote

    A plan and a line-item proposal — real scope, real number, no allowances that turn into change orders.

  3. Step 3

    Build it right

    Our crew, a committed schedule, daily cleanup, and one point of contact from first dig to final walkthrough.

  4. Step 4

    Keep it thriving

    Care guides with every install, and maintenance plans that keep year five looking like day one.

Before you call

The questions everyone asks first

Straight answers up front — the rest we'll cover on the walk-through.

What does landscaping cost in Clearwater and Pinellas County?

A bed refresh runs low four figures; a paver patio or full front-yard redesign typically lands between the mid four and low five figures; whole-yard transformations with an outdoor kitchen or pergola go up from there. Every quote is itemized — see our cost guides for real ranges, then get an exact number with a free on-site visit.

How soon can you start?

Consultations usually happen within a week — we're based on Eastwood Dr in Clearwater, a short drive from every yard we work on, so a walk-through often folds into an existing route. Design turnaround runs one to three weeks, and your proposal includes a committed installation window.

Which areas do you serve?

Clearwater, Largo and St. Petersburg in Pinellas County — all a short drive from our Clearwater shop. Each city has its own page with local details. Just outside those cities? Ask, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can serve you well.

Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?

Yes. Outdoor kitchens, gas lines, structures, and some driveways need permits depending on your city, and deed-restricted communities add architectural review. We fold the paperwork into the project schedule — it's our problem, not yours.

Deeper answers live in the guides section — costs, plants, storm prep, and watering rules.
