A few of the sites our crews have built.
Charles M. Holder founded Central Florida Landscaping in 1976. Our goal has never been to be the biggest landscape contractor in Florida. We want to be the best one, and our client list shows owners keep trusting us with their most visible sites.
Quotes from GCs and owners go here once CFL collects them.
"A sentence or two from a general contractor about schedule, quality, or how the crew handled a tough site."
"A line from a facilities director about how the landscape has held up over the years."
"A note from an owner or landscape architect about working with the CFL team."
Your office posts these from the admin page, photos and all.
Our Tampa office covers West Central Florida along I-4 and I-75. We take larger projects statewide and in Georgia and Alabama.
Charles M. Holder started Central Florida Landscaping in April 1976 to 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. Most of our work falls between Orlando and 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.
