By the way, we talked with the owner Kyle Hudgens and all he wanted to do was to justify their wrong doing, being defensive, and arguing with us and stating "it is what it is". (No is not). Man, it's very simple to remediate, just acknowledge the mistakes, and make it right for the customers. Not a good business practice!!!

The proprietor, Kyle, along with the entire team, exhibits remarkable discipline, work ethics, and commitment. I extend my gratitude to Paul, Danny, Nate, Andrew, Ricky, and, of course, Sam for their unwavering assistance throughout the entirety of the project. Youâ re are all wonderful guys!

Being in business for many years ourselves, we know that nearly every business is going to get a bad review from time to time. We also know that you canâ t please all the people all the time and there are two sides to every story. Tropical Outdoor Solutions is no exception. After reviewing all their reviews, the good outnumbered the bad 100 to 1 â and we dug deeper. You canâ t ignore a bad review, so we put Tropical Outdoor Solutions through the wringer before hiring them. They answered every question we asked directly and forthrightly; they spent a lot of time talking about our project; gave us alternatives and worked hard to meet our budget. The work and plants were top of the line; the crew was hardworking, polite, professional and went the extra mile on everything. They finished the job a day earlier than promised, and they couldnâ t have been nicer or more professional. Management was very knowledgeable and helpful, and when needed other providers for peripheral services, like mowing, fertilization, etc., their referrals were great to work with as well. We will hire them again for future projects, and we give them the highest rating possible, 5 stars!

Tropical Outdoor Solutions, Inc. is a very good company. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and hard-working. Our job was probably a medium-sized job and they finished in 2 days. We had three new plant beds installed, one extended, and one replanted. The latter involved removing 60 ft of very mature shrubs and replanting with large replacement shrubs. The other four beds involved removing the turf, spreading topsoil and mulch, and planting 12 large palms. The only thing I would recommend for future customers is to have the existing sod killed back with a nonspecific herbicide such as Roundup before any other work starts because the remaining stolons of southern grasses (you will be hard-pressed to get them all) will send up new shoots through the mulch which you'll have to spray to kill anyway. Tropical Outdoor also did a very good job removing and replacing our existing drip irrigation system with new equipment that works vey well. I would say that, for the amount of work that was involved, the price was quite reasonable. I would strongly recommend this company.

We hired Tropical Outdoor Solutions to replace nearly all plantings, lay new drainage pipes and install entirely new irrigation and lighting systems. In many cases, Tropical was unable to obtain prescribed specimens, and some were so small that they stood little chance of surviving. Plantings were unevenly spaced in many places. Failure to level the ground after excavation created uneven turf. Sod was laid blocking two gutter drainage outlets. No irrigation was provided for an area of shrubbery. Metal edging had to be revised several times. Landscaping of a small atrium, part of the original plan, was never done. Tropical told us that the project would take about three weeks; instead, they were here for more than six. The project lacked adequate supervision and monitoring, and several requested adjustments were either not carried out or ignored completely. The attitude and behavior of some members of the crew were very unprofessional. When asked about a warranty on plants that did not survive, we were told that the warranty was only 30 days. Our understanding is that the industry standard is at least a year. We entrusted a six-figure job to Tropical Outdoor Solutions but were left with an incomplete and unsatisfactory result. We cannot recommend Tropical Outdoor Solutions for carrying out sizable landscaping projects.

They are very knowledgeable Kept appt time, did work in a timely manner After job was secured, never saw the owner again. He did not check quality of his workers job or visit personally with us as owners again. Felt as though money was more important than customer satisfaction.

We had our existing landscaping taken out & installed new around the house. They set up & installed our irrigation as well. They completed the work â on-time,â worked with my budget & ideas on the landscaping, and were very accommodating with any changes I made. They return calls & best of all, the young men who did the work were knowledgeable, professional & very accommodating to work with! I would highly recommend them!

They arrived as they said they wood. They did a very professional job. There ws some damage to the irrigation line but that was expected and could not be avoided. They came back the next day and repaired the damage at no extra cost.
