Flavio and his team went above and beyond what I expected. I hired them to do extensive hedge trimming/reshaping, trim established traveler palms, cocoplums and podocarpus , remove banyan and scheffelera branches, and install sod. I was worried, considering the intensive nature of the job, that a lot of my flowers and newer plantings would get damaged. Not a single one of my plants was damaged! I honestly don't know how they did it. The job took 3 days and every day they cleaned the yard so it looked like no one had ever been there. His guys handpicked probably 800 sq ft of weeds that were growing in my mother-in-law's tongue plant---wayyyy more than I'd asked for. They hauled all debris from the property as well. The crew was always tidy and respectful, and Flavio is friendly and easy to communicate with. Flavio's quote was higher than I wanted to pay, but I'm so pleased with the work. I'm truly grateful, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

If you are looking for some to ruin your garden along with your sprinklers system and landscape lighting while overcharging you you have found him. We went along with Flavio recommendations for landscaping and everything el he did was wrong, he end up doing whatever he wanted. All the plants he put where exactly the opposite of what we asked and when we express our complaints he vanished and was never to be found again. In the process he manage to somehow make the landscape lights stop working. Don't waste your money with him read more

My attitude towards exterior jobs and landscaping is so improved since we began working with Miami Shores Landscaping, it is like night and day! Every one of the projects we have undertaken with them has been money well spent on making our home a beautiful haven for leisure and family. Estimates and advice on priorities. Jobs completed diligently. Fair prices. Responsiveness. Technical expertise that includes the contributions of top-notch professionals (at prices I couldn't hope to come close to on my own) thanks to Mr. Carvalho's network of associates. It is a great feeling to have Miami Shores Landscape as an ally for the special challenges (as well as the wonderful possibilities) that go along with having a home and yard in Miami. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! They took my money and never completed the job, never removed their piles of large debris so that I then had to hire another company to do so in order to not get fined by my city. Owner Flavio also said much of the same things to me that Robyn S. describes in her review of them. Very unprofessional all around and never supplied me with the paperwork (receipts for payment made) that he promised me several times. read more

I had one sprinkler zone out in my yard, I called Miami shores Landscape. The company man came out and charged me $175 just to look at job. He told me I first had to change the control unit. He quoted me $ 200 then stated that it was a special Rain Bird control unit and it would be $300. I did it. He then told me he had to fix the zone and needed to get parts and would be back the next day. After multiple calls he said give him a few days. After that he never showed and did not respond to multiple texts and phone calls. I had to get another company to finish the job. The guy was a smooth talker be careful when dealing with this company read more

I recently bought a house and needed to find someone to take care of the yard work for it. I had tried calling a couple of other people but some were too expensive, others were unresponsive or they just didn't give me a feeling that they were very professional. When I called Flavio (the owner) he was actually a couple of blocks away so just a matter of minutes he was able to swing by to look at my yard and provide me a quote. The quote was fair and Flavio said he could have someone there the next day. Sure enough the following day someone came out and took care of everything that we had talked about. I feel great knowing that I can now rest easy and that I don't have to worry about my yard's maintenance thanks to Flavio. read more

Flavio never showed up. Repeated text and calls. Finally he told me he was very busy concentrating on commericial clients and "it's taking all my time." So don't say you're going to show up. He says he gets 3 calls a day from yelp.. and wants to remove his name.. He should. Buyer BEWARE! read more

Incredibly efficient, professional, and honest business. Moved into a new home that needed a serious overgrowth removal of excess trees and bushes. Thanks to Flavio ( the owner), within one phone call it actually got done the same day! He Followed through with any other needs and is very honest and upfront about landscaping recommendations and pricing. Thank you Flavio!!! read more

Beware of Flavio, he tried to pull a quick one and scam us out of 5k. Flavio was hired to install Clusias and he quoted us different price options. We selected the 8ft Clusias for 12k and let Flavio install them. Flavio came and installed smaller Clusias, ones which he quoted us 7,600 for. I asked him several times if he installed the 8 foot Clusias and he said yes. When I then confronted him with evidence showing him that he installed smaller Clusias than those which we agreed upon he started to stumble and backtrack explaining how he must have made a mistake. Don't let his nice guy charm fool you, he tried to steal 5k from my wife and I and would have gotten away with it if he didn't actually do an awful job with the installation. The instal itself is a disaster, nothing is level or uniform and it looks like an average Joe did it. Please be wary of Flavio and if you do use him triple check everything and have it in writing. He tried to use the bait and switch and charge us more then instal a lesser product. Hope this helps others in the future learn from my mistake. Thanks read more

As new home owners of a house that needs quite a few jobs done, we were looking for a reliable, qualified and professional contractor. We started out with Flavio's Miami Shores Landscaping based on the great reviews here on Yelp. The first job he did for us was super-fast after very quick and easy communication about what we wanted. The whole thing was done within 2 days, and on top of that: for a very fair price. Miami Shores Landscaping totally delivered on the promise of all the praise we had read about them. It's great to know that we can rely on Flavio and his partners for all our landscaping projects to come. Thank you, again. read more

Not a reliable contractor. He did my front and back yard and installed a new sprinkler system. After 2 weeks of job completed the pump of the sprinkler system wasn't working and grass started to dry. I called him several times to fix the problem. He "fixed" the pump - sorry, "his guys" fixed the pump - and after 3 weeks and 3K spent the grass looks horrible and several spots are dry. He never showed up himself and he never had the decency to fix the lawn. read more
