Name: Lisa Offerman (Tropical Home & Garden)

Posted By Graham Colton

Tropical Home & Garden lays down beautiful landscapes throughout Pinellas County. Lisa Offerman’s business works with homeowners and commercial businesses, providing consultations with designers who help conceptualize landscape plans. It seems that no project is too big for Tropical Home & Garden. The team flips design concepts into brand new scenes, gutting out dying vegetation and replacing it with vibrant plants. They also work to maintain installations by offering irrigation equipment so that clients can enjoy healthy, lasting landscapes. Offerman believes the key to keeping up with fresh installations is to maintain a carefully-balanced watering schedule; Tropical Home & Garden allows its customers to explore irrigation systems that provide just the right amount of water and follow regulations within a given community.
