After months of searching for a company (or various companies or individuals) to undertake a complete backyard overhaul, we settled on Anderson Landscaping. The scope of the project included a brand new fence around the entire perimeter of the house, the addition of two new fence doors (for a total of four new fence doors), removal of a fair sized existing concrete slab, paver installation, crushed granite installation along both sides of the house, and finally laying new sod and planting shrubs and trees. Before Anderson Landscaping came to our attention, we had been unable to find a company who did it all. We tried to separately coordinate fence people, with paver people, with landscaping people, all to no avail. Sadly, in Miami, the concept of customer service is lost on most of these tradespeople. But not on Anderson Landscaping! Previous to Anderson Landscaping we had dealt with people or companies who either didn't return initial inquiry calls, or made the site visit and said they would quote and never did, or quoted and then disappeared when we wanted to engage them with the work. If you're looking for a company that does it all, and does it professionally, within budget, and on time, then don't waste your time or look any further. Just call Tod Anderson and thank me later. From day one, up until weeks after the project was completed and we had follow-up questions, Tod was courteous, professional, and prompt in all our dealings with him. If he didn't answer our calls right away, he would call back within a couple of hours, if not sooner. We always felt like we knew exactly where we stood with him, and we were always confident about a successful outcome to our project. Months before the start of the project, he had provided us with an estimated start date, and continually updated us on it, and ultimately started EARLIER than projected. His crew are also all very competent and professional, and worked diligently and completed the entire project in around 10 business days. They were on site every single weekday during the two week term of the project. It's been almost a month and a half since they completed the work and we couldn't be happier with the results. Tod and his crew transformed what was previously an unusable, barren wasteland into a lush garden oasis that we now look forward to stepping out into. The before and after photos should speak for themselves. read more

Todd did a first project for me billed at $7,000. His crew was on time and finished in one day, although prices were high. His $1,500 design fee (credited to the job) only got me generic ideas, like fishtail palms everywhere and a $5,000 fountain, for a modern new build with a large atrium. Both design visits lasted 15-30 minutes and felt rushed. I ended up designing it myself. For a 2nd job, a stone path, Todd asked for a $2,000 deposit just to bring samples, promising it would go toward other work if nothing worked. None of the samples worked (too cheap looking for a $1.6mm modern home) and nothing was approved. I have screenshots of me still sending path ideas, and his team dropping off more samples, after I paid. I bought stone myself for $1,300. Todd quoted over $5,000 to install it. Another contractor did it for $1,300. I then asked to use the deposit to have his crew plant the plants I bought, knowing $2,000 was far more than the work was worth. He refused and said his minimum to come to my house (located near Brickell) was $3,400. Someone else planted everything plus extra work for $900. Todd has so far refused to refund the deposit. As a business owner myself, I'm appalled. Todd's pricing: Mondo grass: $13 each installed ($3 in store) Palms: $450 each, quoted at 6-8 ft, installed at 4-5 ft ($75 in store) Japanese blueberry: $800 each ($275 in store) Buttonwood tree: $1,200. Another landscaper did it for $220, tree included. My recommendation: Use AI for your design. Take pictures of your house and note how much sun each area gets, then check your plant choices with the nurseries south of Miami and order from them (delivery is about $75). Finally, find a landscaper on Facebook Marketplace who will work hourly. I paid mine $40 an hour, which came to $700 plus a $200 tip. For me, Todd's quotes were 3 to 5 times higher than doing it this way. I will update this review if any of the deposit is refunded. read more

I paid $2800 for a few palms he said would make a great privacy fence and do well. After 18 months they are not doing well... same height or less, one is about 3 ft tall. But still, after they caught wind of the reviews they reached out and were adamant to make it right. Todd came back out and said they're doing better now and he thinks they will grow if I'm patient. Let's see what happens, will update later on. read more

They did a fantastic Job and the crew was polite and respectful. They worked nonstop and keep the area clean and neat. Tods knowledge and Eye for design is fantastic. They are a pleasure to work with and the willingness to make us happy and they all come with the attitude that the customer is always Right.

It is with great pleasure I am writing this review for Tod Anderson and his crew at Anderson Landscaping, LLC. Tod Anderson and his crew did an outstanding job removing my overgrown backyard and replaced it with a beautiful, tropical landscape that included a soothing custom water feature. In addition, his team installed grass that enhanced the backyard and turned it into a lush, green oasis. His selection of various palms and butterfly attracting plants has invited nature into the landscape with songbirds and butterflies that has made it a unique private sanctuary. His whole team worked tirelessly over the course of a couple of weeks to transform our rundown backyard, rebuilding the broken-down fence, removing dead and overgrown plants such as bamboo and firebushes, replacing them with new palms and colorful plants, turning an eyesore into an inviting refuge. Tod's diligence, his excellent listening skills, eye for color, and passion for horticultural design really transformed our backyard into a tropical getaway and surpassed our expectations. Furthermore, Tod's whole crew from his office managers to his yard workers are all blue-chip assets to his business. It is comforting to know that there are people out there who follow through on what you ask them to do - from listening to our vision during our first consultation to interpreting and delivering on it. I've discussed with him future plans for a phase two project which will continue to create an inviting design for our front yard that completes and complements the back yard. Kudos and thank you Tod and your crew for an amazing outstanding job! I would highly recommend Tod and his crew for any landscape design. Kevin H. read more

Todd is a wonderful professional and he and his team did an amazing job In my front yard. Also, Natasha at the office is a sweetheart and she is very professional as well. Todd gave me credit for a deposit of more than a year first. I had to put the landscaping job on hold: first, we had to take care of some house work like the roof and pavers installation before landscaping and then Covid hit with all its repercussions of quarantine and people losing jobs. Todd did a pretty design for my front yard and his team implemented it. I am very happy with his services and grateful too. read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Tod Anderson is a thief!!! He planted 9 sickly Palm Trees and within 3 days they looked like this AFTER watering them and caring for them. Plus, he didn't even plant them with new dirt. Simply moved over all the rocks and stuck them in the dirt while I was at work. I BEG him daily to please take away the trees. He will not give me my money back. Nor will he remove these horrible trees. Now, I have to explain to all my guests that walk into my back yard what happened and who Tod Anderson is. read more

We received the services from Anderson Landscaping (design and planting) for our patio. Our soil is not good for certain plants and he recommend the best species for low watering and minimum attention on this specific conditions. Our ideas for the patio were nice but not realistic and we followed his advice and solutions. After 6 years our patio looks great and we enjoy it every day. Thanks Tod! read more

I think Osvaldo V. said it just about perfectly, but I would like to add that their follow up service has been excellent, too. The pump for my water garden died and my fish were gasping for air, so I called the office and a team member arrived the same day, replaced the motor and saved my fish. Todd and his team first created a little oasis I call The Glade off of my back patio, then came back 8 years later and resurfaced the entire patio. Todd has a fantastic sense of design and a team that can make his visions a reality. I love my patio. read more

How I spent my summer vacation . . . As we wandered around a path I heard the sound of water. Peaking through the tropical vegetation I spotted a rainforest fit to be on the front of a travel magazine. Was I in South America, no I was at the Broward Convention Center where I met my new landscaper Tod Anderson from Anderson Landscaping. He created a beautiful tropical space that makes me fill like I am on vacation every day. This space include pavers, plants and he also installed an umbrella that I purchased at the Home Show from another vendor. I highly recommend him to anyone planning an outdoor project! read more

I recently bought a new home in Key Largo. Not doing a lot of research (Which I know I should have) I called Todd Anderson. Todd actually showed up as planned. This is rare in Florida. He came up with a plan and executed. When the job started I was surprised on how hard all of his workers worked. No messing around. Everyday they showed up like clockwork at 9 am and left at 2 pm. My job was pretty extensive and overall I am very happy. We have some ground shrubs that don't look the best but I am sure Todd will fix it. That is the kind of guy Todd is and I will not only endorse Todd but his whole company. Very impressed. Dan & Laurie read more

We contracted with Anderson Landscaping to design the landscaping around our property. It is a standard size lot 75' x 100'. We wanted to include decking or pavers in the backyard. Tod provided a great layout of the project and was very helpful and attentive to our needs. He liked some of the existing landscaping and was able to design something that was very nice. The pavers are beautiful as well as the landscaping. The personal that did the work were true professionals and were very conscious when planting the new foliage. I have Tod's number and would not hesitate to call him for any new landscaping projects read more

Todd is quite the fast talker. He acts like he knows everything there is about landscaping. He took my money and didn't do the work for 8 months. He didn't plant the plants he promised. Watch out for his contact. Don't sign it. You think it's 1500.00 then he gets 700.00 more when the finally plant the cheap plants they picked up on the roadside. They completely destroyed my sprinkler system while installing pavers. Watch out don't be roped off like me read more

Tod Anderson was honest and gave a fair price at my rental. I had problems with one plant due to the extreme hot weather and Tod replaced the plant immediately. Love his work. Absolutely beautiful!! read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Tod Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. Tod Anderson did some work for me in the spring. The waterfall he repaired continues to work better than it has in years, and the foliage he planted is thriving. His crew was efficient & courteous & cleaned up beautifully when the job was done. Tod was "hands on".....he stopped by to supervise the work daily, sometimes several times a day. Yes, his prices are on the high end, but you do have to pay for high quality work. I will not hesitate to call him back in the future. read more

Do not fall for Tod Anderson's fast, persuasive talk. He comes over for your free estimate and tells you what a beautiful and detailed master plan he will put together for a non-refundable deposit. In the end, he draws up a few lines, stamps a few palm trees on the drawing and calls it a day. Regrettably, I gave him this hefty deposit for the "master plan". After seeing what little effort and thought was put into it, I decided not to go forward with any other services. I explained to him that I felt he had falsely advertised what I would get and begged for at least a portion of our deposit back, to no avail. I ultimately had to settle for some less than desirable palm trees in lieu of our money. Give serious consideration to giving this company any money up front. read more

ALERT- DON'T FALL FOR HIS FAST TALK!!! - I think a customer needs to feel they are getting their money's worth. You definitely will not feel this with Anderson Landscaping. I made the mistake of not getting involved in the landscaping project in my house and I feel he took advantage that I was not part of the negotiation. What I paid for and what I got has a very big gap in it. The plants were no more than 700.00 and it was 1/2 day of work. This was not worth 4,900.00. I was ripped off. Lots of money in advance for some "make believe" planning...I guess he needed to finance other jobs. Update (3/25/16) - 75% of the plants have died although water and fertilizer has been used and all the old plants that were planted are coming through the soil meaning that there was no digging. ********WHAT A RIP OFF*********** read more

Before hiring Tod, I was working with another landscaper who didn't have the resources to build a patio or do other hardscaping. Tod Anderson was able to put in the hardscaping, as well as pick out the right plants and install lighting.. His designs were very creative and he has a huge knowledge of plants. I was expecting the project to go on for months, but Tod had everything done from start to finish in about 2 weeks. This included demolition, hardscaping, plant installation and lighting installation. He also worked with a good sprinkler system installer who coordinated together with Tod. His workers were very friendly and Tod was always available. He also did some post-completion follow-up when I was having trouble with some patches of sod. I highly recommend him for all areas of landscaping. read more

Tod talks fast and persuasive and wants money up front, but in our case he delivered. He built a pond for us when he said and it came out even better than we expected. His pond builders are real pro's. We didn't get a detailed plan, just a general idea, but because the workers were very creative they improvised and the results are very pleasing. read more

Tod and his crew were magnificent. All through the process he explained each step, why he chose the plants he did, why they were placed in the areas of my yard for best results and how to care for my pond in the future. His guys were also polite and careful around my pets, something I worry about when having contractors at my home. I couldn't be happy with the final results and pleasantly surprised by the quick pace of completion. read more
