Courtyard lighting at a historic Ybor City, Tampa home

Why Do Ybor City Yards Need Special Care?

Ybor City is a national historic district built between the 1880s and World War I, full of brick casitas that were once cigar-worker cottages. The lots are small, the streets and walkways are brick, and outdoor space often means a courtyard rather than a lawn. Landscaping here is about making a compact, historic space work, not filling a big yard.

We design for small, character-rich lots. At Citrus Landscape Solutions, our landscape design turns a tight courtyard into a real outdoor room that fits the Mediterranean feel of the district. Well-placed landscape lighting makes a small space feel warm at night.

Common Ybor City Landscaping Problems
We Solve

We handle the small courtyards, brick surfaces, and historic character that define Ybor City lots.

Tiny Lots With Little Green Space

There is rarely room for a full lawn here. We use containers, raised beds, and compact plants and design, and where a lawn will not fit we lay sod only where it makes sense.

Courtyards That Need To Work Hard

A small courtyard has to earn its space. We build hardscape patios that suit the brick district and add artificial turf for a clean, green look that needs no mowing.

From first contact, speaking with Mel to setup a consultation with Mike, to completion of project, was a complete pleasure and wonderful experience. They were professional and personable, not treating us like "just another customer."

Such a great company to work with! I had an opportunity to talk to a few different landscapers to help with redesigning my backyard and front yard landscaping. Jesse and Joe went above and beyond to help my wife and I come to a landscape design we both agreed on.

Luis R.

Citrus Landscape Solutions did a great job on our landscaping, artificial turf, and fence for a pet relief area at a vet clinic recently. The team was responsive, reasonably priced, and the quality looked great.

Frequently Asked Questions

We treat it as an outdoor room. Compact hardscape, containers, raised beds, and artificial turf give you a usable, green space that fits the historic, brick character without needing a lawn mower.

Exterior changes in the historic district can be reviewed, so we design in keeping with the district's character and help you plan work that respects the guidelines.

Often, yes. On a tight, shaded courtyard where grass will not thrive, artificial turf stays green year round with no mowing, which suits the small scale of these lots.
