Default McGowan Landscaping

Has anyone used McGowan Landscaping??
I have read quite a few landscape posts, and only one person mentioned McGowan. I had gotten a referral from someone about them, and I am curious if anyone else has used them, and your thoughts.
Thanks in advance...

We've used Sabrina McGowan a couple of times and have been very satisfied. Hard working young lady, runs a tight ship, doesn't ask for upfront $, crews show up when scheduled and do a good job. She's inspected each job her firm has done for us before payment.
Not a fly by night operation, advertises in the Daily Sun, has office space on Wedgewood, and usually has some good prices on palms.
We've used a number of firms in The Villages, some better than others, but she was our choice for our most recent landscaping update and we are well satisfied. Right now, you are probably talking about a 3 week wait to get the project started.

I complimented a neighbor on his landscaping and he said he uses McGowen too. He also was very happy with her services.

Thank you all for your feedback, I can sleep at night now.
We are planning on adding a large flower bed to our side yard, and I am horrified at the landscape stories I have read on TOTV. Like everything else, you have to do your homework and use referrals for contractors.

Sabrina McGowan landscaped both of our homes here in TV. I would use her again.

Question McGowan question

Does anyone know if Sabrina McCowan will just come in and replace palms if she did not do the original landscaping? Also, does anyone have her phone number??? Thanks all.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I do not believe that McGowan is into lawn maintenance. We have PTL cut our lawn and they charge $45 per month.

Sabrina did my original landscaping. I was very pleased.

Since then (about 5 years ago), I've used others because I'd heard she was too busy!

At the moment, I'm interested in finding someone who will re-do my yard, and, provide semi-monthly follow-up service. I'm not sure I'll find that, but hope to. And, I'll post here about what I find, IF I find!

Quite frankly, I'm more interested in on-going service than in initial service!

Thumbs up McGowan

McGowan Landscaping just finished our home. They did a great job and exceeded our expectations. I would recommend them to my best friend. They said they would start the job at 7:00 AM and at 6:50 they had 6 workers ready to start, hard working people. McGowan is a great company.
