I would also like to add my name to Jason Schmidt Landscaping. His company just recently finished our landscape & we are very pleased with his work.

Escapes Landscaping did a great job for us, and was very knowledgeable. Pointed out several things about how and why the landscape design avoided drainage issues and what plant were better in our soil. Not one of our other estimates even talked about what our soil acidity was, let alone actually test it. Wish we had had gotten Robert the first time, we wouldn't be doing this again 3 years later, repairing shifting walls, and removing plants the last landscaper told us were low maintenance, needing trimmed once a month after only a year.

You might want to take a drive to Village of Lake Deaton (Hillsborough gate, right on Warnock towards the end of road to Wading Heron Way),. Jason Schmidt did quite a few jobs in that area that resemble what you described in your post. I am impressed with the variety of plants used vs. the usual run of the mill choices. I don't know his number, but saw a sign on one of the lawns today while dog sitting in that area.

I haven't used him personally, but have a background in horticulture so I am familiar with the unique plants and palms he chose for his jobs in that neighborhood. And remember... They must be planted correctly and watered daily or you are wasting your $$$.

Good luck!

Village Palms on 466, on right, before Rolling Acres Rd.
Nice to have someone with an actual business location.
Honest, fast and distinctive design.

I would like to add my name to the others recommending Jason Schmidt. We were pleased with their ideas, their promptness, and followup to any issues. Steve

We used Brandon's Landscaping they did a wonderful job !
They did several different plants and 14 palms, along with a stonewall.
They have done several homes around use and countless homes in the Villages.

You have received quite a few good recommendations for landscaping from Villagers. If I may add something . . . don't even consider Mansfield.

We used MAINTENCE BY EVERGREEN. Louis was fantastic and reasonably priced. Also did a water feature that was beyond my expectations.

Another vote for Village Palms, they did my yard and when I had a question about one of the plants the owner came by on her golf cart!! She is a Villages resident.
