THIS COMPANY NO LONGER EXIST. THE PERSON WHO CLAIMED TO OWN THE COMPANY TAYLOR M. HARDIN, NEVER DID. BUYER BEWARE! THEY ARE STILL OPERATING UNDER DIFFERENT FICTITIOUS NAMES IN THE SAME INDUSTRY. THE OWNERSHIP HAD CHANGED A FACT THEY FAIL TO REVEAL UNTIL I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SUB-STANDARD WORK THAT WAS NOT DONE AS PROPOSED. THEY CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN DECEPTIVE INFORMATION ON THEIR TROPICSCAPES.NET WEBSITE, AND OPERATED THAT WAY FOR OVER 9 MO. INFORMATION FROM THE PRIOR OWNER TROY GORDON, OLD LICENSE INFORMATION AND ASSERTIONS OF BEING LICENSED BONDED AND INSURED WHICH YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO VERIFY. THIS INDUSTRY IS TOTALLY UNREGULATED ACCORDING TO THE DEPT OF AGRICULTURE, DIV OF CONS. PROTECTION. I REPORTED THIS TO THE FL. DEPT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION AND FL DIVISION OF CORPORATIONS WHEN HARDIN’S ATTORNEY THROUGH DOCUMENTATION REQUESTED BY THE DIV OF CONSUMER PROTECTION, FINALLY REVEALED IT. NOTHING WAS DONE. SO MUCH FOR PROTECTING THE CONSUMER! HIS BANK, BOA, EVEN PERMITTED HIM TO ILLEGALLY DEPOSIT CHECKS WRITTEN TO TROPICSCAPES, WITHOUT PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF TROPICSCAPES, INTO HIS OTHER UNRELATED LAWN BUSINESS ACCOUNT, OASIS PALMS AND LANDSCAPING. THE THREE, T MACK HARDIN, TROY GORDON, AND MAC GARNER CONSPIRED TO DEFRAUD CONSUMERS. IF YOU COME ACROSS ANY BUSINESS WITH EITHER OF THESE THREE NAMES, I SUGGEST YOU CONDUCT YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.

From the beginning to the end it was a pleasure to deal with Mac and Troy and their team. Prompt reply to initial inquiry, and prompt, courteous, and professional interactions throughout the process from estimate to completion. Highly competent designers with the ability to listen (a rare trait amongst the world of landscapers these days). The quality of plants was excellent - everything was blooming as it should and all plants were obviously thriving when planted and have continued to do so since initial installation. The crew was courteous and respectful of our property and cleaned up the job site daily. Everything was immaculate when they finished. They also provided very specific instructions on the proper care of plants which was especially helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend them, and I would not hesitate to hire them again - they were absolutely terrific - my best ever experience with a landscaping company!
Description of Work: Landscape design and installation of plants, mulch, & stone.

Description of Work: We used Mac and team three times over the past few years to redo our landscaping in the back. They did a phenomenal job. Mac specifically, drove out on each occasion and spent a good amount of time reviewing designs/plans with us. We plan on doing our front yard in a few months and will be calling Tropicscapes for that work as well.

He is very professional. He is a perfectionist and helps with every detail. He even removed plants that we didn't care for once they were planted. He is out to please the customer.
Description of Work: We met with him. He came up with a landscape design for the front and back yard. He gave us a drawing. He met with us again about what we wanted. He helped us pick out plants at the nursery. He went with us to another store to look at patio furniture. He oversaw the installation of trees and shrubs for the front and back. He helped to adjust our irrigation system for the new plants. We contracted for fencing, but he ovesaw the installation.
