Todd was amazing and hard working! We are so glad we went with them. They were super quick, efficient and wanted to make sure the job was 100% what we wanted and expected. Would have no issues using them again!

Todd did a great job and handled some last minute additions to work scope without a hitch. Work started on schedule. Completion was delayed slightly due to a few plants that had not come in to the nursery as expected. He did a good job of explaining what was going on and its impact on the completion schedule. When the items arrived, the work was promptly completed. We then received from Todd a brief tutorial on the care of our new plants. The finished project looks very attractive.

Todd is the best! He came up with a beautiful design around our lanai and back yard. He communicates with his client which was appreciated. Fast quality service. Highly recommended

I asked him to make a mulch bed outside my lanai. He didn't know where the sprinklers were, since they were hidden in the grass, so I called the homeowner's association to get the information. Todd couldn't wait fifteen minutes for the homeowner's association gardening group to flag the sprinklers for him, and so he went ahead with rotor tilling. Unfortunately, he sliced a sprinkler hose, and I had to pay the association for its repair.

Everything was going okay for the total backyard landscape to be done in Dec, 2019. Looked great for the first two weeks until the weeds overtook it. Even though in the contract for landscaping to be installed, it was not. We spent hours every day pulling weeds and not enjoying the oasis design. Multiple gallons of Round-Up, Preen, Weed B Gone finally paying a professional to be on a service to monthly spray purchased with the weeds still there. My son offered to cut a lay matting and re-mulch if materials provided. Todd agreed to this. Then we waited and waited for April, May, and June for him to drop the materials off. This never happened. He kept calling or texting back saying that he would be there that week and this never occurred. We finally went and purchased items and now waiting on different companies to remove existing mulch, lay down the weed killer, and than re-mulch. We also discovered, after all this, he sodded over the plumbing pipes, septic tank, and did not allow adequate clearance with the new sod to let the gate to our back yard open. More expense to me to correct. The cost to me to correct was $200. All of this unneeded expense and aggravation occurred by him not laying down the $80 for the matting, per contract. The cost to date to me for his initial error is $450. The contracted price was $12K.

Todd is a horticulturist and just an amazing human being... He met with us in our new to us home in Laurel Woodlands in Nokomis... He explained each plant we owned, and made outstanding recommendations for transforming our back yard into a real sanctuary... He had a helper, Chris, who seemed very knowledgeable and both guys worked very hard to make the project go smoothly... We love the results and could not recommend Todd any more highly...

Todd Foster never finished the job he was paid for. He and his helper promised to come back and finish the job. They never came back or called. I e-mailed Todd Foster to remind him, he never called or e-mailed me back. Todd Foster and his crew are NOT to be trusted. James Middleton

I was so thrilled when I first met Mr. Foster. Such a kind, seemingly knowledgeable person. I had my lawn person with me when we discussed what plants to use in our front yard landscaping plan. My lawn person expressed concern later, stating that he thought many of the plants Mr. Foster suggested would not fare well due to too much or too little sunlight in the areas he proposed to put them. I chose to trust Mr. Foster, as he was the professional. Over 75% of the plants died. He came back once to replace a few, and they died too. He told me he thought it was due to the acidity in our water. This seemed reasonable, so I had our water tested, and it was fine. After numerous phone calls left unanswered, over many weeks, Mr. Foster finally called me (months later) and said he would be back to replace the plants that weekend. He never came and he never returned my subsequent phone calls. I essentially paid for what are no mostly dead plants. The worse part it is that we were selling our house, and the realtor refused to show it in that condition. I was unfailing very kind, understanding and undemanding (likely the problem!) and gave Mr. Foster months to come back; my kindness was rewarded with disrespect and inaction. I even told him i would pay more money if need be, to no avail (I had already paid him 100% in full.) He should be ashamed of himself. I told him it was a small job from the very beginning, so if he didn't take small jobs, to just let me know up front. I know he has bigger fish to fry and am well aware that the little jobs take a back seat, which is why I made that very clear. But taking money and then not returning calls or finishing a job is just simply unethical. I couldn't be more disappointed.

Prompt interaction. Worthwhile advice that was practical and not over exuberant in its recommendation. Prompt installation.
