Landscaping, Mulch and Topsoil, Lawn and Yard Work
About us
Master Gardener Landscaping, Inc. was founded in 2000 to provide well designed landscape installation and care to Tampa Bay area homes, condos and businesses. Led by Eric Morrison, a St. Petersburg, Florida native and Pinellas County resident with over 35 years’ experience in the landscape and horticultural industry. We take the time to care for landscapes with environment and climate in mind, assuring a more healthy and easy to care-for landscape.
Eric went over the details with me several times to include any changes that I wanted. Eric and Justin dug up and rearranged plants on the side of my house and removed plants and trees in the front with a beautiful collection of low lying shrubs and flowers. They also dug a ditch and laid pipe from the back of the yard to the front to drain at the end of the property. They worked tirelessly in the heat for over 3 days until the job was complete and looked perfect. I love what they did and would recommend this company to anyone!

Our small front yard needed a complete redesign. First Eric, the company owner, came by and gave me a design, with specifics, an estimate and dates. Overall, Eric told us what he was going to do and he did it in a timely fashion. Anytime he wasn't going to show up, he called us frequently and kept us updated. He is a very good communicator, which is key in any business. Though they specialize in smaller jobs, he seems to have a bank of related contractors when and if any heavy equipment type work is needed, or if he needs specialty plants brought in. The result was a beautiful front yard that draws compliments from friends and acquaintances, with beautiful, heat resistant plants that are appropriate for the setting.

Better than I could have expected. It was great to have Eric be so thoughtful about the process and really tell us what was needed for a proper, healthy lawn in Florida. Eric truly knows how to take care of your lawn in the Florida heat. This was an excellent Angie's List find and I will continue to use Eric in the future for any yard projects.
Description of Work: We needed new sod and a bunch of yard work including tree removal and trimming.

I called Eric because of the tremendous reviews he had on Angie's List regarding a project that my gutter company recommended I look into. Eric was an excellent communicator, very professional, and inspired great confidence regarding his knowledge and technical abilities. I ultimately choose not to go forward with the project as it was not a priority for me, however, I will absolutely use Eric when I have another landscaping project in the future.

Eric was quick to respond to my message sent on Angie's List. He setup a time to come visit me at my home in between his other jobs, and get an idea on what I wanted to have done. He allowed my vision to help drive his ideas and he offered other ideas for the flowerbeds and back yard area. Once the proposal was agreed upon, Eric and his crew setup a date and worked in the weather elements to get the job completed over a few days. Amazing results and very happy with the work. He also made follow-up call to ensure that any issues/questions I had were answered. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the great review, [Member Name Removed]. It was a pleasure working with you. Enjoy your beautiful yard!
We recently had landscaping done by Master Gardener Landscaping. We redesigned the front yard, added Foxtail Palm trees, plants and new rock. We also added plants and rock to the back yard as well. I would highly recommend Eric Morrison of Master Gardener Landscaping. Even though we hit a few glitches along the way, Eric was always right on top of it and took care of the problem. We very much appreciated his willingness to make sure we were satisfied. We also appreciated Eric and his employee’s punctuality, professionalism and dedication to the job at hand.

Eric was great and his crew fabulous. When we first started project I wanted sod but no sprinkler. Eric explained needed to water everyday for first 30 days (maybe more if weather was warm) and hose sprinkles just didn't cut it. We also had a huge pine tree with very large roots. He gave me several options regarding the tree and yard. I was leaning toward rubber mulch but Eric explained tat might nt be good for my dogs ( I have 4 rescue cocker spaniels) as this mulch contains steel and it may hit the dogs paws. While I was getting permit for tree removal and getting the tree taken down I thought about what Eric told me. I kept asking question; he was very patient and did not laugh at my crude drawing of what I had envisioned for my backyard. He was very patient waiting to coordinate tree removal and irrigation installation. My sod was installed on March 10th a Saturday. I was glad it wasn't to hot for the crew. They did an awesome job and now we have a beautiful backyard. Thanks Eric and team.

[Member Name Removed], Thank you so much for the nice review. It was a pleasure working with you. The new backyard sure compliments your beautiful new pool and pavers. So happy you're enjoying it, and the dogs too, LOL! Eric
Eric and his team properly and swiftly executed. Professionalism and punctuality were excellent, along with hard work and conviction. Mr. Morrison is a veteran of this industry and the results he produces are the proof. Our yard was a train wreck even when we bought this house 20 years ago. With a minimal time frame and a sharp mind, he has transformed our exterior image from the bland hyperbole it has always been to a luscious tropical paradise we have always dreamed of. Highly recommend!

We moved into a new home days before hurricane Irma hit and owning two properties with significant landscape damage was incredibly stressful. My priority was addressing the home I was trying to sell and Eric (with his team) worked tirelessly to accomplish the mission. Our first meeting was on a Saturday (so helpful as I had just taken time off for the move) and I was impressed with Eric's knowledge and thoughtful approach. A harder working or nicer team is hard to find.

Eric and his staff were always punctual and extremely easy to work with. I have never seen such hard workers, especially in the FL August sun. Overall, my husband and I are extremely pleased with the results and would hire Master Gardener Landscaping for all our landscaping needs.

Hello [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your kind response on Angie'[Member Information Removed] List. We are happy you are satisfied with the work performed. It was a pleasure working with you and Jim., Thank you for being so hospitable to us! Regards, Eric
Eric and his team were wonderful. He took the time to explain how he proposed to resolve our irrigation issues, resulting in relandscaping the back of our house so that the water would run down and around the house and pool area. His price was reasonable and competitive with others. His team was efficient with attention to detail. And of course the most important thing is that now when we get the Florida summer rains, the water is no longer seeping into our pool area but redirecting around our house as was the plan.

Hello [Member Name Removed], I apologize for not being able to meet with you. I understand your frustration. Typically I am able to honor my commitments better. You are right we are a small company who does great work so therefore the demand for our services is huge. lf you can't find anyone else, we will be working in Safety Harbor later this month to the first of the following. If you would like to try again I would go out of my way to accommodate you. Best, Eric

Anthony and I are very pleased with the work project that Eric Morrison from Master Gardening did for us, from the tear-out of the old overgrown yard to the implementation of the Xeriscape yard which replace it. It's been about six months now and the yard still looks fresh and new. Eric provided excellent service, done on time and as stated in the project design, and the cost of the project was prepared within our budget guidelines. We would happily recommend Master Gardening to anyone looking for quality work at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: Complete overhaul of overgrown yard.
My yard turned into a beautiful Florida paradise. Everything thing was executed in a very professional manner. It was a pleasure to work with Eric and his crew. If I had more than two thumbs I'd give him ten.
Description of Work: My front yard was all stones and concrete. He removed the concrete and stones, leveled the areas where the pavers were to be installed, added a sprinkler system, lighting, planted palm trees, bushes flowers etc.

We had a great experience on both occasions. Eric is very knowledgeable and does great work in a timely manner. Highly recommend!
Description of Work: Eric and his crew did work for me on 2 separate occasions. 1. Landscaped backyard: Cleared away old sod, graded top soil and re-sodded backyard. Planted and mulched Christmas tree palm, crotons and ornamental grasses. Replaced strip of grass in alley with crushed shells for a low-maintenance ground cover. 2. Tire rut repair in front yard: A large truck drove over my front yard leaving deep ruts in the sod. Eric peeled back the grass in the ruts, filled the ruts with soil and replaced the sod for a consistent level surface.

Eric came to my home promptly and provided design ideas and a quote to completely landscape, amend the irrigation and sod my front and back. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and always prompt. He and Chris worked tirelessly for many days and I am now so proud of my home's curb appeal. I would strongly encourage anyone looking for an honest, reliable, knowledgeable and talented company to call Eric Morrison with Master Gardener Landscaping. You will not be disappointed!
Description of Work: design, sod, irrigation and landscape home.
Eric was extremely professional throughout this project. He was dealing with a group of demanding Homeowners who could be very critical. He was able to work with us even though we changed our minds several times about what kind of landscaping we wanted and the landscape design was changed multiple times also. He provided excellent feedback and guidance always and his work is amazing!! he is very knowledgeable, and attentive to details. He has already gotten referral from this work!! All of the Homeowners are very pleased with how beautiful this project has turned out! We believe the value of our community has improved due to this renovation. We are very thankful that Eric was our Contractor!!
Description of Work: Eric met with Linden Place Homeowners Association on several occasions regarding his proposal to excavate and landscape the Front Entrance Island of this subdivision. He was always patient with all of us and very through in his explanations of the work that needed to be done. For this reason he was selected from 9 companies to excavate , provide irrigation, landscaping and lighting for this project.

I've worked with several different landscape companies and interviewed several prospective companies (including some on Angie's List). Eric Morrison of Master Gardner is by far the best I've worked with. He is reliable, knowledgeable, very approachable/accessible, and above all, he does just beautiful work. I've been impressed every step of the way and I love my new yard. He was able to help me envision a way to transform a space that was an eye sore into a place I genuinely want to spend time in. He also has an eye for things that are not just going to look good, but will also be practical considering watering needs, light, and upkeep. I am confident we have a lasting, easily maintainable design that adds value to my home and solves some drainage issues. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

Eric whipped my scruffy yard into shape, put down mulch, defined my border areas. Sprinkler system is working perfectly now, yard looks manicured and organized again. I didn't want him to install a lot of additional planting because I enjoy playing in the dirt (and ran out of budget with the move), so he will help me design additional plantings later and deliver the plants for me to play in my yard! Perfect solution, I now have a clean, ready palate for my gardening. I've had professional yard work/design done before and found Eric's pricing very reasonable for the amount of work and time he invested in my project. He is very thoughtful, smart and efficient. I am single with two tween sons and had NO issues with allowing him access to my home/yard when I was not there. He cleaned up all the debris, and didn't leave a mess for me to deal with. When he left, the only evidence he had been there was a beautifully manicured yard with great curb appeal and a happy new home owner.
Description of Work: I moved into a new (to me) house that has been empty for over a year and it seriously needed some yard TLC.. Sprinklers, natural areas gone wild, tree & palm trimming, even an avocado tree that was gangly.
