It is a family owned business with a reputation for quality work and quality plants. Pitchford Design won out over several other bids for some special ground cover work for our church in Clearwater. I may eventually include some pictures, but this is not the best time for that right now. The project included the planting of several perenniel peanut plants, mimosa plants, and a couple of hibiscus shrubs pruned to look like trees. The plants were healthy and have taken hold well. Included in the work was poisoning the old turf and weeds, removing about 7 cubic yards of topsoil which included the weeds, and filling in around the plants with a good mulch. Zach and his crew were most helpful in getting that all done for us and bringing in a couple of extra plants when I observed that the original plan we had agreed on didn't quite cover all the open space in the way I subsequently thought it should. There was also some confusion on the specific type of hybiscus that the plan called for and again Zack took care of that for us. I complimented him on the professional quality of his communications and the clarity of his contract proposal. The fact that we were working with a church committee tended to complicate the communications more than would have been the case just dealing with a property owner or couple. We saved some money by composting the topsoil that was removed and were able to place the bins elsewhere on the property. Since then that proved to be a good idea because most of the resulting compost has been used to fill low places elsewhere on the property. We also found a new product that can be sprinkled on the ground around the plants before the mulch goes down. it is designed to discourage the weeds without killing the plants. This is still experimental so we have no opinion on this for now, but if Tx weeds grow as big and fast as our Florida weeds (especially during the summer months) it might prove a useful precaution that will allow the slower growing ground cover to become better established. Both Zack and his team were very pleasant to work with and I trust your experience will prove similar to ours.

Our experience with Terra Nova, Landscape , and design in Clearwater Florida was not a good one…read moreThey completely missed their first appointment and did not call. We had to call to find out if we had a future appointment. The second appointment they were very late and never called to let us know they were still coming. We had a design project for the backyard and they never even bothered to even set foot in the backyard , measure it , or look at the trees or the shade patterns or the elevations. When we questioned them, they said that we had dogs so that was why they did not go back there. But the dogs are kept in a room in the house and not allowed to run free . the backyard is not fenced so they just had to walk around the house to the backyard to enter In the end, they accused us of being in the wrong somehow and through extensive negotiation, we received half of our deposit back, Owner Mike Linn was smooth and charming in the beginning and was at the end, rude raised his voice to me , and accused us of lying. Which is remarkable since all we wanted was a simple backyard Landscape design. We feel fortunate to have escaped with minimal emotional and financial damage. You might make sure to look at all the reviews because if you go far enough down the list you will see some serious negative situations that have occurred with this company. This is not an opinion. It's a matter of public record . For example AI found a quantity of negative performance reviews in a variety of circumstances for this company .

I know you can shop cheaper at box stores but there is something about people that sell plants that KNOW plants and that weren't just hired to greet you and run a cash register.

I personally prefer a little more service and expertise than cheap when I am making decisions and that's what they offer here. Shrubs, plants and flowers are an investments for your homes curb appeal, I like dealing with someone that wants to help me make the right investments. Thanks David! I'll be back.

BUYER BE WARE On 12/7/21 Chris Walker from DK Farm & Nursery…read morecame out and we reviewed the job together I had multiple things needed to be done. moving, relaying installing new pavers in my back yard, build up side yard with top soil and relaying pavers, trim a hedge, remove 2 over grown Muhly grasses and replace with new 2 Muhly grasses, install a 60' Rubbermaid boarder along beds, remove some yard waste and cut a palm frond that was hitting the roof. I already had the boarder so he instructed me to purchase 6 additional pavers, which l didn't need, and he would supply the grasses and top soil. He was a very personal young man, who assured me that he would personally make sure that the job went right. He sent me an estimate of, $565.64 with only the total for labor without the jobs line itemed out, beyond the pavers. I assumed it was because it was done on his phone it limited him for characters. I realize now that was my mistake, that is give Chris the benefit of the doubt, as we had a long conversation about the project, and how much problems that I was having finding reliable and competent service people/companies. The next day Chris arrived with another young man, who he introduced as Corey and together we went over what the plan was for the boarder and pavers. Right off the bat I knew something was amiss as Chris brought no tools to do the job and used my shovel, sledge hammer, yard clippers, etc., He continually asked me to look at the work and each time I had to come up with suggestions as to what would be better. We came to a stand still as Chris told me he would not remove the dirt that was needed in order to allow the pavers to be recessed into the ground by the board of the patio. Also, he was unable to cut any pavers as he had no tools to do so, to allow for any type of professional finish to the install, see image. Five of the pavers on the pathway along the back yard are not filled in and or not level, so they rock. After 3 or 4 attempts at the side yard install the layout of pavers was finally OK, though the ground was left uneven with multiple small rocks left all over the area. The removal and reinstall of the new grasses were fine. In general, my property was left in a muddy, dis-shoveled mess. During the 2 hours Chris and Corey were here, Corey had continually made glib comments around me. Which I found highly unprofessional for someone on a job site. One of his comments was directed at me personally about my age. I 'm a single older female, and didn't feel comfortable being around the two young men any longer. I was rather confused as to why a service person would be so unprofessional on a job, only to find out that he didn't work for DK but was Chris's personal friend, who is here visiting from Kissimmee. The hedges and fronds were never cut and I didn't bring it up as by this point, I had had enough of Chris and Corey and just wanted them to leave by home. I gave them a check and they left. Beyond the inappropriate comments I was worried that I would be liable for Corey not being a paid employee of DK's if anything were to happen. After they left, I called Chris and told him that I was very unhappy with his work and that he needed to come back and fix it. He wanted to come right back, but I didn't want to have to deal with Corey again so I told him that I would get back to him with other time to come back. I also mentioned about the him not taking care of the hedge or palm frond, he argued with me that that wasn't part of the job as it wasn't listed on the estimate. I pointed out neither was the boarder, or grass install, so how was he able to use the estimate as the point of truth. He became irritated and told me that he did that as a favor, and not part of the job. He did do one thing as gratis, he cut down a small 3 branched planted and placed a couple of pavers for a place for outside trash can. I when back out found even more issues with job, called him back and he wouldn't pick up. I then realized that I was pretty much screwed so I left a message that I canceled the payment and want an adjustment to my bill. The next day I spoke with David Koning the owner the next day, who basically told me that he didn't believe me but Chris that all other labor was a favor i.e., boarder install and install of grasses. I told him that I didn't want Chris back out as he doesn't know what he is doing and I didn't want to have to deal with him and his either lack of knowledge or work ethic again, I would be happy to settled the bill at a reduced payment of $250.00, as I will have to hire someone else to fix the pavers. But he said that I was bound to the signed estimate, also that anyone who showed up to a job was covered under DK and not the home owner and that he was doubtful that I felt intimidated and was just using as an excuse. He told me that there will be legal action if he does receive full payment in 10 days. To be rid of this very unpleasant experience I mailed the full payment and ha
