MISSION STATEMENT: FL OUTDOOR is a customer-first outdoor design and installation company focused on quality craftsmanship and long-term relationships. If you're a skilled trade professional who takes pride in their work, this is the team you want to be part of.

Becoming Part of The Florida Living Outdoor Vendor Network

Joining the FL OUTDOOR Vendor Network means becoming part of a team that values craftsmanship, communication, and long-term relationships. The process begins with a simple application that captures your licensing, insurance, and trade experience. From there, you’ll be contacted for a brief conversation so we can get to know your work style, values, and availability.

Once qualified, we’ll assign you a trial job so you can show us what you’re capable of in a real-world scenario. We’re not looking for perfection — we’re looking for honesty, reliability, professionalism, and pride in the finished product. If you meet our expectations and treat our clients like your own, you’ll be invited into the network and given access to our portal, job board, and team support structure.
