Landscape Design Tailored to Odessa & Pasco County
Murphy's Sod & Landscaping is proud to serve Odessa and the surrounding Pasco County communities with professional landscape design. Two decades of local experience means fewer surprises, cleaner results, and a finished project you can count on through every Florida season.

USDA 9a–9b and HOA rules beat a copied north-Florida plan
Odessa sits in Humid subtropical (Köppen Cfa) with hot, wet summers and dry springs. Plant palettes and hardscape that ignore Myakka / Candler fine sand and 54" of rain fail in the first wet season. We design for this zone, not a template from Gainesville or Atlanta.
