Charles M. Holder started Central Florida Landscaping in April 1976 with one goal: give clients a level of service nobody else in the landscape industry could match.
We are a licensed landscape and irrigation contractor based in Tampa. Our work centers on West Central Florida, from Orlando to Sarasota, and our crews have finished projects from the Keys to the Panhandle and in Georgia and Alabama.
Our goal has never been to be the largest or best-known landscape construction company. We want to be the best one. That means looking for better ways to serve clients, planning for what a site will need years from now, and holding our crews to a standard above the rest of the field.
Design, planning, and installation run through one integrated team, so the people estimating your project talk to the people building it.

With the company since 1990. Runs grounds maintenance in the Tampa and Manatee/Sarasota regions, including crew scheduling and supervision.

You get healthy plant material and protect your investment in it, with as little water as possible.
Planting and care for mitigation areas tied to development permits.
Scheduled care in the Tampa and Manatee/Sarasota regions.
