We use Stellar Landscaping and so do other neighbors in Cottonwood. Marty Rouse is the owner and he has a great crew. He takes care of out couryard, but he also did some great landscaping for us. You can reach Stellar at 352-553-2597. The only one I know to avoid is somebody named "Carlos". In private messaging I would give you more information about why.

I have been using Kirk's Lawn Service who came highly recommended. I recently received a letter from The Villages with recommended companies for lawn care, landscapers, termite and pest control companies and was pleased to see John Kirk was on the list. He not only does mowing but also fertilizing and power washing. When I met him the first thing he gave me were copies of his license and insurance papers. He does not require any money up front and no contract to sign. His number is 352-348-9725.
I am having landscaping done in two weeks and through various recommendations on TOTV I went with Sabrina McGown. You can check out her website at designbymcgowan.com. |

I posted previously that I hired CustomScapes & that I would post a follow-up when the job was done. Well, they finished today and their work FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. Are they cheap? No. Do they offer value for the money spent? I definitely think so. The plants they put in were so much larger & healthier than what I have seen elsewhere. I also had them put in flagstone on the patio and in the lanai. It looks fabulous. All in all, it totally transformed my small backyard making it an oasis of green where I plan to spend much of my time. I figure I just about doubled my useable living space by creating an environment I know I will enjoy for years to come.
What I liked about Lance (the owner) from the beginning was the fact that he seemed to get my vision (even though I knew squat about Florida plants.) Now that I see the results I KNOW he got me (and you can ask my husband - that's not always easy to do!) So for anyone who wants a high quality job for a fair price, I would give my unqualified endorsement of CustomScapes. |

Here's why you might consider landscaping small yard
Quote:
What I got with my standard landscaping was not very inviting. I hired a great landscaper (CustomScapes) and I now have a place that we want to spend all our (at home) time in. You don't have to have a Premier home on a golf course to have an inviting outdoor space. (and because a courtyard isn't that big you can go lush without much cost) Here is what my backyard looked like before I decided to landscape. Here is that same space after And a close up Another Before shot looking the other direction And the "After" And notice - no grass! |

Thanks for this name and number. We also are moving to Tamarind Grove soon. I tryed the number you gave but it did not go through as an accurate number. Could there be an incorrect digit somewhere? I will try again if you would be so kind to repost the number. Thanks--can't wait to get there and begin meeting all of the TOTV nice people!!

I'm still learning but the Sugar Palm behind the waterfallwont get much larger. I'm texting in car (hobby driving, don't worry) i'll try to remember to check when I get home.
I believe the other plant you are referring to is the Lily of the Nile. |

CustomScapes phone number

Did I give the wrong number? Sorry. It's 352.315.9600. And welcome to Tamarind Grove! Did you know we have monthly socials (2nd Monday of the month) at Fish Hawk Rec Center? Last time (and our only meeting) was at 5:30. It was Potluck. Info is posted on bulletin board where we pick up mail. Left side when facing mailboxes from the parking lot. I didn't find it for several weeks because my mailbox is in the back and I always went around the right side. Good info there so check it out. Im still moving in so have only met a few people but I can tell you its a great neighborhood! Enjoy! Char |
