We are wanting to tear out some shrubs and put in a "lush tropical theme" in its place. We are in need of references/recommendations for reliable and talented landscapers who can help us to plan and carry out the project. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try the 'search' button on the top bar of this page. You will find as many opinions as there are landscapers, but helpful information nonetheless!

It was helpful to us to drive through established neighborhoods (with houses similar to ours) and observe other's landscaping. If you see something you really like the look of, try asking the homeowner which company they used. Most people will be happy to share their information. That might serve to narrow it down for you.

I used Sabrina and Patrick McGowan to do landscaping on my courtyard villa. They were one of the companies recommended on TOTV. I am extremely pleased with not only the landscaping but the price I paid. Check out their website. http://designbymcgowan.com/

A couple of months ago we hired McGowan Landscaping to give our new home an exterior facelift and found that they are definitely the "Quality" landscapers that they say they are. Sabrina and Patrick McGowan constantly superivsed the work being done to make sure it was to our satisfaction and the "quality" they guarantee. At the end of the job we didn't particularly care for where two large bolders had been placed in our front yard so they came back and moved them without any hesitation. We are on one of our beautiful golf courses lots and they landscaped it to be "golfer friendly". We highly recommend them and their professional "team" of workers and what hard workers they are!

John Kirk did a great job for us. Quality work and very attentive and extremely reasonable prices. He takes pride in his work and knows his stuff.

The palms that are shown frequently in McGowen's Gallery, are they hardy for TV?

to redo our CYV back and side. We are using him to do the front when we return this spring. He stayed within his quote even when we made changes and he knows what will be good in florida winters. He has a very good eye for design and the on top of that, he doesn't ask for any money until we were satisfied.



Attached a picture but don't know if it worked. Couldn't upload one of them.

We used Village Palms. They put in a pond and waterfall along with great landscaping and a stone path. If you are interested in seeing the result, PM us after the first of the year. If you search for ponds on TOTV you should find a picture that we posted.

Hey did you try The Village Palms Landscaping off 466? They have a great web site and i have seen some faboulous jobs they have done.

We used CustomScapes (off 441) They did an AWESOME job for us. Put in waterfall & dry river bed in back. Lush plantings. Great design. I can't tell you how many people have stopped to talk to me about my yard. A number of friends have used them and were also very happy. Check them out. You won't be sorry.

Whatever you do cross check with Seniors vs Crime or check the Florida Sunbiz site and google principles. If they have a criminal record or judgement it will show up. Business change names every season to escape detection. There is a place over on 301 south of 466 that has changed names like the change of seasons. Google principles and guess what.....TOTV is a great place for references. Good Luck.
