We closed on our new home in Gilchrist in February of 2013 and, like so many Villagers, spent a considerable amount of time during the next year on our golf cart ‘making the rounds’ of neighborhoods near and far looking at landscaping. We quickly realized that there was so much to learn about central Florida vegetation, so many decisions to be made (principally finding a knowledgeable and reputable landscaper) and, of course, a need for consensus between the two of us!

Enter Ron’s Landscaping, Inc. Initially, we read positive things about Ron’s Landscaping on TOTV but weren’t yet ready to proceed. Coincidentally, we stopped to admire another corner lot a few months later and ask the owners who had done their work. Although they were happy to share the contactor’s information and were generally happy with what had been done, they ended up telling us that if they had it to do over, they would hire Ron’s Landscaping. Several of their neighbors and friends had used Ron’s company and they were extremely pleased with the professionalism and attention to detail demonstrated.

When we set up our first consultation, we quickly found that Ron was able, by virtue of his long-time central Florida landscaping experience, to educate us about the correct palms and plants, understand our ideas and improve upon them in ways we would not have previously considered. He quickly earned our confidence as he adeptly answered all of our many questions and concerns.

From the time Ron and his crew arrived until the day they left, we could not have been more pleased with their knowledge, plan of action, dedication and meticulous attention to detail. Each of his employees subscribes to his same work ethic and they are all intent on pleasing the customer. They arrived on schedule each day and worked continuously until our job was complete. Ron’s follow-up and detailed written instructions were gratefully accepted as well. We absolutely could not be more pleased with the experience and the outcome!

Many thanks to Ron’s Landscaping, Inc. for an incredible job on our sizable corner lot. We highly recommend that you consider calling them to discuss large or small landscaping projects at (352) 227-7788.

They are not Areca Palms, they are Dwarf Sugar Palms ( Arenga engleri ) they are a great palm for this area. They average around 9 to 10 ft. tall in this area and can handle the cold quite well. I planted 2 of them at my house in the fall of 2010 and they made it through the winter when it hit 18-degress that one night. They had some burn on them but they came out of it just fine. These are great palms if your looking for some privacy and want a nice tropical look.

Thank you for the pictures. Most people brag about how great the landscaping is but you never have any idea of what it looks like. And I always love it when someone told you that you should not have use that landscaping palm or tree or bush. Ron's seems to be the company that puts in the correct plants..your project looks great.
