Testimonials
Palm Installation
I hired them to install two large Royal palms in my front yard, and Benito treated the job like he was planting them at his own house. He explained root direction once they mature, sun exposure, and how deep they needed to be set. They even corrected the irrigation to add bubblers so the palms get the water they need. It had a huge impact on the look of my home.
Palm Installation
We bought several palms and a Tree (Weeping Bottle Brush, Christmas Palms, Pygmy Dates) from another company that planted them way too shallow. They were leaning and starting to decline. Stewart came out, diagnosed everything, and Benito’s crew re-dug and replanted every palm correctly with proper soil and support stakes. They literally saved them.
Full Landscape Makeover
We did a full redo of our entire property. Stewart created a layout that made sense with the sun, shadows, and home shape. Benito’s crew removed old overgrown plants, brought in rich topsoil, fixed dead irrigation zones, and created a layered tropical look that’s absolutely stunning.
Full Landscape Makeover
What stood out was their honesty. Stewart didn’t sugarcoat anything. He told us our old beds had no nutrient foundation and needed to be rebuilt from scratch. We approved it and thank God we did. The transformation is unbelievable — our yard went from a straggly mess to a resort-style landscaping.
Mulch/Rock Installation
We hired them to switch our mulch to rock, and I was impressed by how meticulous Benito’s crew was. They dug out all the old mulch, installed weed fabric properly, graded the area, and placed the rock evenly — no thin spots, no gaps. It looks professional and clean.
Mulch/Rock Installation
Other landscapers just dump rock and leave. Not these guys. They shaped my beds, edged everything perfectly, adjusted irrigation spray patterns so water wasn’t hitting the rock, and sent photos before finishing. It’s the small details that make them worth it.
Privacy Hedges
We needed privacy fast to hide our fence and lanai area, so we purchased Clusias from another company to line the fence. Unfortunately, me being out of state at the time they planted them unevenly, too shallow, and far too spaced apart, which meant they would take forever to fill in properly. Stewart came out, immediately pointed out the issues, and explained why the hedge wouldn’t grow in thick or on time the way we expected. Benito and his crew removed every plant, corrected the depth, added nutrient-rich soil, and replanted all 38 Clusia with the right spacing. They’re already growing evenly and thickening up beautifully — exactly what we originally wanted.
Privacy Hedges
Our areca palms were yellowing and thinning out because the previous landscaper put them into pure sand. Benito and his team dug everything back up, added topsoil and fertilizer, corrected the irrigation, and trimmed them properly. Now we finally have the dense privacy wall we wanted.
Irrigation Repair
Half our system didn’t work, and the other half was overspraying the house. Stewart and his crew tested every zone, found cracked fittings, clogged heads, and a bad timer. Benito rebuilt the entire front irrigation correctly. Once the landscaping went in, everything watered evenly. Total night-and-day difference.
Irrigation Repair
Our Foxtails kept declining because they were being hit with overspray instead of deep watering. Benito installed bubblers and drip lines, adjusted pressure, and corrected all the angles. Two weeks later the palms were already showing improvement.
Fixing Other Landscapers’ Mistakes
We had just paid another company who planted everything crooked, too close, and in the wrong sun exposure. Benito and his crew tore it all out, salvaged what they could, added soil, rebuilt the beds, and made it look like a magazine cover. I wish we had just called them first.
Fixing Other Landscapers’ Mistakes
We wasted money on a cheap installer who used poor quality plants. Stewart immediately spotted nutrient deficiencies, fungal issues, and poor soil. They replaced everything with healthy nursery stock and rebuilt the entire layout properly. Lesson learned — quality matters.
Before/After Transformation
Our house looked plain and outdated. Stewart designed a tropical theme with layers, textures, and height variation. Benito’s crew executed it perfectly. The before/after photos look like two completely different properties.
Before/After Transformation
I didn’t realize how bad my yard looked until they finished the project. Benito reshaped beds, removed dead roots, fixed irrigation, added palms, rocks, and mulch, all while keeping things clean. Our neighbors literally walked over to compliment it.
General Installation
One of the few companies that does things the right way even when it takes more time and effort. They don’t cut corners on soil, watering, plant depth, or spacing. You can see their experience just by watching them work.
General Installation
Benito explained everything as he went — why a plant needed to be in sun, why another needed shade, why spacing mattered, what would grow tall, and what would fill in. That level of knowledge is rare nowadays.
Customer Service & Communication
Stewart handled the planning perfectly and Benito updated us every day with photos of the progress. The communication alone puts them above every landscaper we’ve ever used.
Customer Service & Communication
We’ve hired landscapers before who disappear after taking the deposit. These guys stayed in touch, showed up when they said they would, and delivered exactly what was promised.
Long-Term Results
It’s been months since the installation and everything is thriving — there were 2 dead plants, I called Stewart he came out and got them switched out free of charge obeying the warranty, no issues. That tells you they build landscapes with the long-term in mind, not just to look good on day one.
Overall Best Experience
This is hands down the best landscaping company in Bradenton. Stewart’s design sense and Benito’s precision install work make a perfect combination. They fixed all of our old problems and gave us a landscape we’re proud of every day.
