They offered to plant flowers but they advised me to get the flowers myself.

She was the cleanest tenant I ever had, and even planted beautiful flowers in the front of the house (Most Section 8 tenants aren't like that, but she was).

That's where a commercial grade carpeting works, but if you are going to paint I definitely recommend a high build paint like a deck refinishing paint and preferably one that has some texture added to it like sand for traction.

If you aren't wanting grass, maybe carve out a curve in the non-concrete side and plant a few ornamental grasses or hydrangeas or soemthing that will grow big.

You've seen these in a gas station bathroom - 4x8 plastic sheets, usually with a shiny finish and pebbly texture. 

They dry walled it, textured it, ran electrical, painted and installed carpet.

Good luck in Plant City, I hope they will work with you as they did for me. 

Plant the seeds baby!!!

And new construction is being built and developers are planting their flags. 

I think most who live out in that area are ranch hands, plant workers and fisherman.
