McGowan's is an excellent and ethical company. We have used them twice.

Based on recent comments on TOTV I would avoid Mansfield like the plague!

We used Terrascape, and they did a great job for us.
Terrascape has a nursery on CR 301 where we were able to pick our double Sylvester Palm and other shrubs.

We used Ron's Landscaping and were very pleased. Ron was very knowledgeable and made suggestions regarding drainage, growth, and cold tolerance. He can be reached at 352-227-7788.

Been through several over the years. Escapes gave us more for our money and reduced the heavy maintenance we grew into, after all the other landscapers said they were giving us low maintenance landscapes.
My advice is no matter who you get, investigate the varieties they are proposing to use, on your own.

Ozello, you nailed it. High quality, low maintenance is what wecare looking for
But will also call Ron's, McGiwan and Terrascape. Appreciate the referrals very much.

We used Jamie's Landscaping and were very pleased. Didn't have to pay a dime until we were happy... all plants guaranteed for a year.

Do NOT use Tru Landscaping Solutions or any business that Chris Charbonneau is associated with. I posted something similar on TOTV about a year ago looking for a landscaper, and he contacted me via PM. Do a quick search on his name on this site and you'll see why. (Although with all the Senior vs Crimes complaints, he might be in jail by now.)

We had excellent results with Landsculpture. They put together a creative plan for us and have stood behind all of the plants and trees installed. Excellent at a very reasonable cost. Contact is Alfredo at 352-286-1618.
