  John and his awesome crew were an absolute pleasure to work with! We would certainly not hesitate to recommend them to friends or call them again when we do additional landscaping! We have a little yard on our newly purchased vacation home and although we love our new little house, the yard was horrible and had seen many, many years of neglect. We started with some very unsightly, overgrown shrubs, and some random, neglected bushes in front of our house. John came by in a very timely manner after I first called him and listened to what we wanted and made very inciteful suggestions. John is extremely knowledgeable about plants and knew which ones would be best for low maintenance while still providing a much needed update to the curb appeal of our yard. We then set up a date that worked with our back and forth travel schedule to have all of the work done. John and his guys showed up when they said they would and completely transformed the front yard of our little house. HIs crew is professional, knowledgeable and hard working. They happily answered my many questions. If you are in need of a garden makeover, do not hesitate to call this fantastic company!

  Although I liked John, he immediately told me everything he would do and the price was inconsistent in the conversation which I had him clarify. He then wanted 10% deposit of that price immediately. I gave him the deposit and later asked him to send written estimate. It did not spell out quantities or types of plants. There were some extras we agreed to which he tried to get out of until I brought it to his attention. The one extra thing we wanted was red lava rocks which we already had, just needed topping off, but large areas. After job was done, what I got was a runaround about rocks listed on estimate, no quantities. He said he should have never put rocks on estimate. He reluctantly called after the fact and said he’d get $100 worth for us. It was 16 bags. We needed about 150. I was tired of dealing with contractors who want to make a fortune for little of nothing at that point so I just let it go. I did send him a text afterward letting him know I was not happy. I priced every plant and extra he provided along with time spent on job. For a $3500 job he spent approximately $750 for merchandise and that didn’t take into account contractor discount which I’m sure he gets. So him and 1 other person spent a total of 8-10 hrs and that’s generous.He never responded to my text, of course. Be sure you get everything in writing, line items, quantities, costs! Buyer beware!

  It's hard to imagine finding a better landscape and design service than Florida First. Their expertise and skill in all aspects of the project are unsurpassed in my experience. They constantly go above and beyond not only delivering five stars plus on what you asked for but helping in so many other ways to transform your landscape and to assist you in keeping it that way. John and his team are professional, punctual, friendly, hardworking and very courteous. They really take their time to understand what you want and help you make better decisions. They specialize in low and no-maintenance local plants perfect for this area. They recommended a number of other professionals to help us with things like irrigation and tree trimming all of whom turned out to be excellent themselves. Their pricing is very reasonable, far below the value they provide. I can't recommend them highly enough.
