Landscaping / Fences…read more Looking for an alternative to the usual suspects for a fence, I came across Sebastian and his team. They measured, quoted and delivered exactly what I wanted. No up-charges, no stories about "we only sell one type of fence", and they showed up on-time and completed the job as scheduled. What more can you ask for? Sebastian is a very easy to deal with individual and his workers are very polite and work hard. For landscaping, and anything else you need done on the property, give them a call and discuss. You won't be sorry.

As most services do, everything started well. As preparation to city sewer I contracted…read moreSebastian's to relocate a large garden. The work was done beautifully directed and worked by Sebastian's brother. The success of this project led me to hire the company for the monthly mow and blow and maintenance. Our agreement was the first month, trim two hedges, light weeding in mulched beds, monthly mow and blow and during the slower growth months in lieu of grass not needing to be trimmed, the two hedges would be trimmed again. I placed the service on auto pay for first of every month. The problems began when Sebastian began to ask for his pay early and tried to charge me for the winter time hedge trim and several weeds had become small trees. I asked for a meeting to get an estimate for the clean up of the originally planted garden and to remind him of our agreement. At our meeting he proceeded to tell me about the tree removal, tree trimming side of his business and the costs of his equipment failures. After our meeting he sent three texts with three different prices, none of which could be considered reasonable. This was the end of our relationship and because this occurred shortly after the first of the month he was able to keep one month's pay without doing any work for it and the hedges were not trimmed. Some people lose dollars chasing after pennies.

Headline: Absolute scam - Stay away from Jarocho Company!…read more Save yourself the headache and go anywhere else. I paid a $1,500 premium--$7,000 total--because Jarocho Company sold me on their "premium" after-sales service, including a guaranteed two months of maintenance and watering adjustments. The moment that final check cleared, they vanished. They didn't just provide poor service; they stopped answering my calls entirely after feeding me a string of empty excuses. They used a "bait and switch" tactic: promise top-tier support to get the sale, then ghost the customer once the money is in their pocket. They are dishonest, unprofessional, and clearly have no intention of honoring their word. Do not let them scam you like they scammed me.

I called Jarocho and Juan, the owner answered and we set an appointment to get an estimate immediately. After getting the estimate a week later was scheduled to do the job.

We are very happy with the results and Juan obviously runs a great company. We will use Jarocho from now on! Thank you Juan and team.

Buyer Beware -- Smarty Plants on Dixie Hwy We purchased two…read moreplants from Smarty Plants on Saturday, August 15, 2026. When we got home, we discovered that both plants had worms eating them. Smarty Plants is closed Sunday and Monday, so I returned on Thursday, August 20, as soon as I was able, expecting to exchange the plants for healthy ones. They refused. Unfortunately, this was not my first disappointing experience with this business. About a year ago, I spent at least an hour with one of their staff members discussing plants that would be suitable for my west-facing balcony on the Intracoastal. I specifically wanted something fragrant and flowering, and their staff recommended a gardenia. When the gardenia failed to thrive, I returned with photos and was advised to purchase a water-measuring device. I bought the device, only to find that it didn't work. When I returned to the store, they refused to refund or exchange that item as well. I understand that plants can have problems, but I expect a plant nursery to stand behind the plants and products it sells--especially when a customer discovers a pest problem immediately after purchase. After multiple experiences like this, I can no longer recommend Smarty Plants. If you shop there, inspect your plants very carefully before leaving the store and don't assume that the store will make things right if you have a problem.
