Floridigenous Landscape Inc

It worked out well. He basically looked at my landscaping and gave me his vision for what he could do with it. First time, he gave us that and we researched the plans. We had some issues with some of the things he wanted to put in. He came over the second time, walked the yard with us the second time. We made some changes and then have agreed to go forward. There were no additional charges beyond the big deal amount. He is very professional, very courteous and timely. He was going to be late because of weather. He communicated that in advance and told me he would be late. Everything I could have asked in a contractor. He is very knowledgeable. I would have thought that if you do what I'm going to do, which is about $6000 worth of work the assessment would have gone towards the work and it wasn't. I realize he is in business to make money and I don't begrudge him for that, but for people that just want him to come out and give him an idea $99 was fine, but if you contract with a substantial amount of work that $99 should be applied to the work, this is just my thought.

They contacted me in Message Center asking if a specific date was ok, but it would not work so I emailed him directly to advise. I never heard back from them, but a month later they had a new $49 Deal running for the same consultation when I originally paid $99. I do not know if they are good or not - we have not had much contact. Admittedly I did not call them, but I would be willing to try them out now if they're willing.

The service was good and I have no complaints. The man came to review my area with me and gave me great recommendations.

We have had the consultation so far. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable in their field. I am looking forward to working with them again in the future.

Peter came out and discussed what I wanted in a landscape plan. He took measurements and within a couple weeks sent me the plan. I am very happy with it. He was very responsive to emails and requests. Peter did warn me that landscaping is very expensive and wanted to prepare me for "sticker shock". I have just purchased a foreclosure that needs lots of work. The landscape plan will be implemented in small steps and Peter factored that in when he created it. Although this is the first time I have used a landscape company, I had discussed purchasing a landscape plan with other companies. I feel very satisfied with what I received for the price. I would recommend Floridigenous.

Initially I thought the price was a little high but we went with Floridigenous because of Peter's expertise and experience. After the work was completed we realized the scope and labour involved and felt that the price was very fair. We are very satisfied and Peter was excellent to work with. They treated our property as well as if it was their own.

The plants he suggested are perfect for my yard. I'm looking forward to having him fix up my yard.

All in all, it was a pleasure working with Peter and his crew throughout the project.

provider was very knowledgable and professional . howver, I have yet to receive site plan as promised. In fairness to provider I never followed up with call requesting above because I misplaced name and number.

Peter visited us and reviewed the present landscaping and drew up a plan to replace everything in the front and side yard. We had concerns about the upkeep of the plants and he took that into consideration when drawing up the plan. he and his pleasant crew showed up on time and went right to work. Peter took the time to give us tips on upkeep and what to expect as the plants grow which we appreciated. Working with Floridigenous Landscape was a pleasant experience and I highly recommend this company.

He did 2 designs for us, both seemed very professionally done, however neither were along the lines of what we were looking for. Seemed open and understanding of our wants after reviewing the first design, but our wishes still weren't evident in the second. There was only one native plant that I definitely wanted in the landscape and mentioned by name, and he didn't include it. His work seemed very good and professional, we just couldn't get on the same page design-wise.

It was a very good experience. We are waiting for the actual cost and design to be e-mailed to us.

Designed a backyard landscape including pavers and plantings. We did the pavers ourselves and Floridigenous did the planting etc. Very nice people. Very responsive to our requests and input.

It ended up being a bigger job than any of us anticipated because of the age and locatio n of the current irrigation system. But they kept at it until I was completely satisfied and the end result was beautiful! Peter told me it would look like a tropical paradise when the lights were on at night and he was right. I love it! I'm so happy that I went with this company. I really felt like they were very concerned about what I wanted, and listened and responded to my concerns.. Over time, I'm sure it will just keep getting more lush and tropical! Just what I was looking for.

Through an Angie's List special, I purchased a landscape design offered by Floridigenous for $111. This would have been a great deal, however, I never received the design. I did receive an e-mail from the owner within a week to schedule a visit to look at my yard and get his ideas on how best to hardscape/landscape my back yard. He stated it would be a couple of weeks as he had 2 people in front of me and he would then deliver the design to me. Two weeks went by and no call/e-mail. After 3 weeks, I e-mailed him to ask where he was on getting our design. I didn't hear back from him for several weeks, and then when he did e-mail, it was to say that there were a few people in front of me and it would be a few weeks yet before he had something. I really liked the guy from the initial visit and liked his environmental approach to landscaping, so I agreed to wait. A few more weeks went by and still no call, so I e-mailed him again, and 2 weeks later, he got back with me and stated he needed to come back out and look at my yard again before he could get something to me. At this point, I believe I had given him more than enough time and asked him for a refund. I can appreciate that his is a fairly new business and he stated that he was just overwhelmed, but I was truly disappointed with his lack of customer service. He did willingly refund my money and apologized.

Peter (the owner) promptly responded to my request for an estimate for removal of existing plants and installation of new landscaping and landscape lighting. He is very creative and took little input from me to come up with a beautiful design. He provided a written estimate and we decided to proceed with the work. He and his crew were able to complete the job within a short timeframe and the results were outstanding. We were very pleased not only with the job itself but the pride and ownership Peter took throughout the process. A couple of days after the landscaping was installed and Peter was installing the landscape lighting, he called my attention to the Hibiscus plants he planted in the back yard and told me that it looked like deer were eating them. He asked me to keep an eye on them and if the deer continued to bother the plants he would replace them with something else. I was impressed with Peter brining this issue to my attention (i had not even noticed this yet) and also volunteering to replace the plants since we had just completed the install. This was just one example of the integrity that Peter demonstrated throughout the project. I highly recommend him for landscaping and outdoor lighting services.

It went superbly from start to finish. Peter was quick to return my call when I was ready to set up an interview with him about what I wanted the project to include and he was very perceptive as well as knowledgeable, and made a few suggestions that I hadn't thought of that were the example of why I turned to a professional in the first place. The plans were drawn up and presented for my approval along with an itemized estimate for the entire job. I was quite happy with the plans and the cost of the project was very fair compared to other estimates I had gathered. But the most pleasant aspect of this experience with Floridigenous Landscape has been the professional and courteous manner in which they do business! They showed up promptly and according to schedule as promised, they worked hard and efficiently, and cleaned up after themselves before leaving for the day. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for the perfectly capable landscaping abilities that I had the pleasure of benefitting from through my membership with Angie's List. Thank you Angie's List and Floridigenous Team!!

We first spoke with the owner back in December 2012. He was to provide us a proposal and we agreed not to start the project until March of this year. We never heard from him again until we called him in April to find out what was going on. It was obvious that he had forgotten us and told us he would have a proposal within a week. The week ended up being two weeks and once again, we were the initiators of the follow up call. His excuse was he had a job that took longer than forecasted. At the meeting for approval of the plan, my wife requested certain flora to be included that would provide some color to the landscape theme. One of her requests went unfulfilled. There were other delays in getting the job done and lack of communications continued to be a problem. The work was finally completed and except for the missing flora, the overall results were very good.

We chose Floridigenous Landscaping because of positive reviews on Angie's List and because Peter specializes in Florida native landscaping. Peter promptly returned our call, and arrived on time for our meeting/consultation. We were impressed with his knowledge of native plants/trees, sprinkler systems,etc. He was/is very friendly and easy to talk to; no high pressure tactics or pushing expensive/exotic plants. We had contacted three other highly rated providers- one never returned our call, another one did not want to meet with us- he just came to house at his convenience, and the third provider didn't seem interested in our business. Phase 1 involved re-sodding the front lawn, removing a hedge and brick border and replacing with sod, landscaping around palm trees with low-maintenance native plants & mulch, and extending the sprinkler system. He also planted a crepe myrtle tree in the section of lawn on the other side of the sidewalk. The work progressed without any delays, and Peter kept us informed during the process. One glitch- Our water line was broken during digging, but it wasn't Peter's fault. Peter had checked with the city to ensure it was safe to dig, and city indicated the area was clear. After a day or two the city repaired the line. Phase 2: Low energy ground lighting was installed to light four palm trees. Peter adjusted the lights to make sure the trees were properly lit. Additional landscaping was done around three palm trees; I can't remember the names of the bushes/plants, but I know some are bird of paradise. The additional landscaping really "dressed up" a bland stretch of lawn, and defined the property line. The plantings are doing well, and have attracted butterflies, much to our liking. Additional lights were installed in our back yard to highlight a huge oak tree. It's a beautiful old tree, and the lighting makes it even more so. Peter stands behind his work; several weeks after the work was completed, one of the sprinkler heads was damaged by the lawnmower. Peter repaired the head with no charge. We have a large "wild" back yard, and if we decide to have work done, we will be calling Peter!

This company could not even be bothered to return a telephone call, I put in a dollar amount because the review could not be completed without it.

Peter is talented and easy to work with. He readily accommodated our changing desires, and completed the job promptly. The guys who did the labor were professional, hard working, and clearly interested in the end product. I would certainly recommend these guys to landscape for family and friends.

Peter was very personable and prepared a landscape design for our overgrown yard. It included a plant list which allowed us to do some research since we are new to the area. You can tell that Peter is passionate about his work and keeping Florida free of invasive plants (which we had a few of). At this point, our budget only allowed for the design plan, but it has helped us put in a lot of hours trying to get the plants under control so that we could have him back in the future to add his touch. I would recommend him for your yard design and we would certainly look to use his services in the future.

Peter worked with us to meet our budget and took time to answer all our questions and concerns. Work was completed in a timely manner and the transformation is truly amazing. We are extremely happy with the way the front yard now looks.

He was very courtious and the price proposed was very reasonable. We had estimates from a few lanscapers and most provided a list of plants and hand drawn sketch and this was no different, except for the paying for an estimate. I would then need to search the plants on the internet to try and imagine how it would look. Spending 3-6k I'd rather receive something a little more substantial. Printouts of the plants or links to the exact type in mind at the very least if not a computerized version of what it would all look like all together. Had we received something to that degree, we would most likely have used them.

The owner of Floridigenous Landscape, Inc. was good and professional but I needed something to be done very quickly. He was polite, punctual and helpful. Unfortunately, he was unavailable due to how good he is.
