Whether you're looking to add a personal touch to your island home, seasonally shopping or wanting to liven up your yard, a trip can easily turn into an entire afternoon.

Tom's Thumb specializes in helping you with your coastal landscaping. With our harsh salt winds from the southeast, planting choices are limited for the Galveston coastal home. Always ask our experienced staff before you purchase a plant for the beach or bay. Call us at (409) 763-4713 or FAX: (409) 765-9253 and we can help you plan your landscape needs. If you choose our company landscape services, we will refund 50% credit towards your installation invoice.

Seaside Casual is our most popular outdoor collection. It's a balance of traditional aesthetics reborn through modern materials. The coastal communities of the eastern seaboard have molded our traditional aesthetic, but tradition only goes so far when it comes to withstanding the elements. Seaside Furniture got its start in a Rhode Island lumberyard in 1996. Starting as a hobby with just one Adirondack chair, it quickly grew into a collection of over 50 products. With the encouragement of local community, Seaside created a line called the "Casual" line.
