Andy Gurevitz has done all landscape design consultation and implemintation for us at two home locations for approximately five years. Not only is Andy totally professional, he is talented and honest. I called Andy (haven't had any work for him in about a year and a half) and he is friendly, and efficient. He scheduled an appointment at our convenience and showed up with two assistants on time and worked, cleaned up grounds, finished what we discussed regarding landscape cleanup, landscape new plantings and scheduled new planting for next day. He sent me an estimate for the new landscape and mulching the night before, and called in the morning to get the go-ahead. He arrived on time and lowered his original estimate since the plants cost less than estimated, by $48.00. Work was completed, and approved by me. Again, no trace of dirt on driveway or sidewalk--very tidy. He is a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Landscape trimming, (hugh job!!) Recommended plants to enhance overall grounds, planted lovely plants, mulched and cleaned up any trace of dirt (washing walk way, etc.) and stray trimmings. Andy designed and constructed 2 pergolas for us at another property thereby creating a custom look for our home, which rate rave reviews from visitors. (this job was separate cost from landscape not included in $800.00 fee).

He was the best experience I've had with all the contractors I've found on Angie's List. He was punctual & informative. He spent a long time on the phone telling me about his business and how his business could fulfill my needs. He matched the plants to accent the colors of my house. He created a beautiful mulch pathway. He was cost conscious and designed a complete plan. He even picked me up and took me to the nursery and explained the plants and we chose them together. He did the job in stages, and did the work beautifully. I was so amazed and so pleased with his work. At one point I was even dealing with some health issues and he went out of his way with kindness beyond belief. He is so good hearted and talented. He put a gazebo together for me as well and repaired a porch swing that belonged to my mother so I could keep that memory. He is an extraordinary and kind hearted human being.
Description of Work: Andy redesigned and landscaped my front and back yard.

Andy was dependable and professional. He worked in the hot summer heat and did a beautiful job. He used a sod cutter to remove the grass for planting, and then helped us to remove dead grass in other parts of our yard, so we could use the healthy grass from the island area to replace the dead grass. He did all of this without charging extra. Because we are on a preserve, our backyard is wet and the soil is of poor quality. Although the plants Andy planted looked healthy when planted, they quickly began to wilt and die. Andy remained determined, and totally replaced all the plants and 7 trees that he had planted, at his own expense. In addition, and again at his own expense, he built-up the soil to ensure proper drainage. The island is now lush and beautiful. It weathered a sever freeze that killed some of the other plants in our yard. We are very happy and grateful for the work Andy did and hope to use his services in the very near future.
Description of Work: Andy planted an island of flowers and trees in our backyard. The area was 5' X 22' and was planted as a screen on the northwest side of our property between our neighbors house and our backyard. He provided professional drawings of the island, with photographs and descriptions of the choices of trees and flowers and then gave us a free estimate of the costs involved.

I as fairly satisfied. It wasn't great, but it was OK. It wasn't quite what I expected. They were slow in getting started, which disappointed me. I was impressed at first, both with Andy and the way he presented himself. He was very professionally with the presentation and paper work, the actual work is what fell short.
Description of Work: They did some landscaping for me. They planted a bunch of flowers and took out some bushes.

Small tree was successfully moved. Plants on side of house died within 2 months. Larger rock boarder consisted of a very few and sparsely placed (which looked bad). Plants he selected for bed in front of window were taller in front than the plants against the wall. They grew well but were weedy looking and not what had been discussed. Boganvia was trimmed and righted but no new support was added and soon fell over. We had to cut it back again ourselves and are in the process of replacing the trellis which rotted. No additional/new support had been added. This was over priced and poor quality work.
Description of Work: Small tree in front moved to back of house. Plants replaced in both front flower beds. Larger rock boarder along/around edge of foremost flower bed. Side plants replaced. Small area of sod replaced on side of home. Leaves and debris removed from rock beds. Boganvia trimmed and trellis righted and repositioned with added new support installed.

Andy came out and we discussed options for the front yard. He came up with a design using some of my ideas, some of the types of plants I was interested in, and some great ideas of his own. His initial estimate was a bit more than I wanted to spend and he did a great job offering a second option that worked well. His initial presentation of his design before work started was thorough and the final result matched it well. We set up a week to start and the work was finished in about 4 days. He went above and beyond with his work by fixing a sprinkler head that I had damaged, dug out and mulched a large area that was not included on the initial estimate, and laid out the lighting which I had bought beforehand.
Description of Work: Designed landscaping for large bed along walkway and front of house, cleaned up existing bed (with a lot of roots), expanded and enlarged existing bed, planted close to 100 plants, mulched, laid out and hooked up accent lighting as a courtesy.

He showed up on schedule to create an estimate which he provided in a couple of days. We agreed upon price and scheduled work to begin the next week. Workers showed up on time and worked diligently throughout the week to finish on time. Andy did a final walkthrough to ensure I was satisfied. Actual bill was what was estimated even though he did a few extra items for me.
Description of Work: Re-sodded front and side yards, repaired sprinkler system, removed two trees, planted several beds in front and back yard and applied mulch. Andy used my design and advised me on the types of plants that would work and helped me make modifications with his expertise.

As indicated, it was a positive experience.
Description of Work: While we have postponed the work, the company was great to work with. Andy spent a lot of time with us, developed a detailed landscape plan, and incorporated our thoughts and desires. The planning sessions were excellent, with great interchange among the three of us. Had we gone forward, he intended to have us very much involved in reviewing & choosing the plants, trees, rocks, etc, that made up the plan. He was also, very gracious, when we indicated we weren't moving forward. A real credit given, given his time investment.

I fired the contractor for not performing the way I wanted. He over dug up my front yard where the cost for all repairs was more than the job was. He put a so-called berm between my neighbors home and mine and also destroyed my neighbors grass, which I had to replace. I would not recommend this company to anyone. The owner was very rude to my wife. I don't know how he can have a good eval and give me the garbage work.
Description of Work: Andy was very inconsistent with communications. We were given a quote for a sidewalk and some minor landscaping. I fired the contractor for not doing the job the way I wanted. I wanted a field stone walkway with grass between, same as in Europe; I was told we don't want that. My house is a Tuscany style. They were to start the project when I returned, I came home and found my front yard a mess and not what I wanted.

Response from ART OF NATURE OF TAMPA BAY
IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT MY CLIENTS RECEIVE NOT ONLY THE BEST LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION FOR THEIR BUDGET BUT ALSO THE BEST COMMUNICATION, SUPPORT, FOLLOW UP, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY RESPECT. THIS BITTER REPORT IS A COMBINATION OF HALF TRUTHS AND LIES. WHAT WAS NOT EXPLAINED BY THIS MEMBER WAS WHEN OUR PROBLEMS BEGAN, WHY THEY GAVE ME NO CHANCE TO REDEEM MYSELF AND WHY THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO BE SO MALICIOUS. WHEN I FIRST MET THE MEMBER SHE TOOK ME TO A HOUSE THAT SHE LIKED AND I TOOK A PICTURE. A FRIEND HELPED ME PUT PICTURES OF MY COMPLETED JOBS ON MY WEB SITE. THIS PICTURE WAS IN A WRONG FILE AND IT WOUND UP ON MY SITE. THIS MEMBER SAW IT BEFORE ME AND HIT THE ROOF. I DID EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE TO WIN BACK THEIR CONFIDENCE BUT THEY WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT. THE STRANGEST THING IS THAT PREVIOUSLY I HAD PRODUCED A DETAILED DESIGN, SAMPLES FOR THEIR REVIEW, AND I MADE MYSELF AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS ANY AND ALL DETAILS OF THE JOB. WHAT WE DO AT ART OF NATURE IS ALL ABOUT OUR CLIENTS, AND HAVING SUCH A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH ONE WAS DEVASTATING TO ME. AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE FOR THE ERRORS I MADE AND I AM SINCERELY REGRETFUL OF THIS ENTIRE SITUATION.

Not only does the design Andy put together look great but the colors of the flowers, plants and palms have a nice contrast and look so striking together. The name of Andy's business truly implies what he does best. He definitely incorporates a true work of art into his landscaping designs. We got four different estimates and his prices are very competitive.
Description of Work: Upon completion of our new pool we were looking for a landscaper to do plantings around the entire screened-in lanai. Andy came up with a design that had a complete flow to fit the area perfectly. We were so pleased with his work that we had him spruce up our front yard too. Andy and his crew also did some irrigation work and sod repair from the damage done by the pool builders.

Description of Work: We had no idea what to do with our landscape. For years we wasted money on our front and back yard without getting the look we wanted. Finally we decided to get an expert and we shopped around a lot. We were referred to Art of Nature by friends and their designer Andy came up with a wonderful design that worked perfectly. The work performed was removal and transplanting of existing plants, new planting, sod work, patio work, decorative carpentry, outdoor lighting, and repairing of our existing irrigation system.

Andy reviewed our existing landscaping and listened to our needs and wants for a new, refreshed and bright landscape design. He took our information and developed a plan to give our property a lot of color and a refreshed look. He meets with us at a local nursery to review the material he had selected so we would understand its size and appearance prior to application. During the project he removed and replaced several plant materials and re-mulched all beds. Andy's main concern during every step of the project was how we liked what was occurring. He did a lot of the work himself with a small crew. He was very professional and the customer is truly KING when it comes to Andy and his company. We interviewed six companies and Andy was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive but he was by far the best. If you need landscaping call Andy for an experience you will not forget and a yard that all of your neighbors will be talking about. Hats off to Andy; what a great job!
Description of Work: Upgraded an existing landscape to produce a cleaner, fresher, and brighter design for our home. Several plant materials were removed and some relocated. New material brought in as well.

Our experience was excellent from the start. Andy was very punctual and professional since the moment we met him. He came to our house and my husband and I loved his ideas. He is a very creative person and you can see this is his passion. He took the time to listen to our needs and include them in his ideas, yet providing new and fresh ideas of his own. We first hired him to do a design of our driveway, then hired him to do the landscaping. He was patient with us in teaching us about plants, and was willing to meet us at a nursery to make sure we were satisfied. The installation of the plants went smoothly and without any glitches. He was so concerned about our satisfaction, it was great to actually work with a company who has costumer satisfaction as a number one priority. He will be our landscaper of choice for any projects we will have in our home in the future, and I would highly recommend him to any one.
Description of Work: We had a complete landscape remodeling of our front yard. We added tons of plants, including seven palm trees. We also had our driveway removed and redone with pavers through a different company, but Art of Nature provided the design for it.

Andy was extremely professional. He was prompt, friendly and competitively priced. He is an expert, when it comes to plants. He was able to advise us, as to which plants would thrive in which areas of our front area of the house. We were in the process of putting our house on the market and Andy made our house look amazing. He has such talent. We think he gave our house the curb appeal it really needed, especially in today's market. We are now using Art of Nature for our new house and the work is unbelievable. Andy keeps coming up with more and more ideas. So reasonably priced as well. You will be so happy with his services.
