After months of searching for a company (or various companies or individuals) to undertake a…read morecomplete 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.

Todd did a first project for me billed at $7,000. His crew was on time and finished in one day,…read morealthough 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.

With Chris, it's all about great design, knowledgeable plant selection, and professional execution. It's modern, fresh, and perfect for the environment in which it's installed. Expect to pay a little more than your neighborhood jadinero, but expect to get a lot more. I'm demanding and cost conscious, but was satisfied on all counts. Satisfied? I was thrilled. My courtyard was the focus of a total renovation, and I'm getting married there next week. It had to be perfect, and done in time. It was, and it exceeded my expectations. It has the "wow"factor I wanted, while being extremely tasteful and elegant. It looks like it should be in a magazine. Perhaps it will be. Cudos to Chris Zito for a job well done.

Favio created a landscape plan and then had me use one of his landscape installers. Shortly after installation, the newly planted grass and several of the newly installed plants were dead or infected. The installer blamed Favio for the poor landscape design (stating that Favio did not select the correct sod, plants, Favio did not select the proper location on the property for the sod, plants--i.e. shade, sun) and Favio blamed his installer for not providing me with quality grass and plants. I have contacted both Favio and his colleague, the supplier/installer, Noel from Sunset Gardens Green, numerous times. They just point the finger at each other. Neither has taken responsibility, offered to replace the dead/infected plants or to reimburse me. Very sad that neither of these gentlemen practice their businesses with integrity and honesty. I only asked that I get quality products from them. Unfortunately, I have lost money and I am left with dead grass and plants. I only write this review because I do not want others to be in the same difficult situation. (Sidenote: Favio has the audacity to display the photos of my house project on his Houzz site to promote himself)

Victoria and Ray were professional from start to finish and provided the level of service we were looking for. I loved the fact that they took the time to get to know the property and get familiar with our overall aesthetic before presenting us with designs. Once we agreed on terms, they constantly stayed in touch throughout the process. Even though they had other jobs going on we always felt like a priority and once work got going, which wasn't long after, they worked quickly and carefully. Their crew was great and even came back the following days to make sure every detail we agreed upon was taken care of. I didn't even have to follow-up.
