They ran sprinklers, tying in to my current system to all of them. They were reasonably priced, efficient and did quality work. I am extremely pleased and highly recommend them. I will use them again.

I purchased a large concrete planter from Treasure Trove and three pigmy date palms to go with it…read morefrom Plant Source which has a plant shop on the Treasure Trove property. Unfortunately the pigmy date palms (3) were either diseased or stressed and began to look bad within a week or two of planting. Even with pretty of water, the fronds continued to brown and become brittle. I contacted Lisa at Plant Source and sent her pix of the trees. She recognized almost immediately that these were sick trees and volunteered to replace them within a week (at the busiest time of the year I might add). Lisa is a real professional who takes responsibility and acts with despatch. I am very pleased with my new trees and the excellent job the crew did in replacing the old trees. Lisa is the main reason why I will be a repeat customer for my future palm tree needs.

Gulf Gate Flowers really came through for me last week! I forgot a special family member's birthday…read moreuntil the morning of. So I called Gulf Gate to see if they could get an arrangement delivered that same day. They were glad to! Herb, the customer service person who answered the phone, worked within my budget & promised they would take great care of it. They even took a photo of the arrangement & texted it prior to delivery! I would confidently & happily order from Gulf Gate Flowers again!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Gulfgate Flowers. From the very first conversation, the…read moreowner immediately understood exactly what I wanted--even though I only gave him a few small hints and loosely described my vision. Somehow, he just got it. He brought out the perfect flowers to show me his ideas, walked me through his creative vision, and then designed the most spectacular arrangements--all while staying within my budget. What he created was not only beautiful, but absolutely show-stopping. The florals completely transformed my daughter's bridal shower. They elevated the entire event, made it incredibly themed, cohesive, and delightfully over-the-top in the best possible way. I truly could not have imagined more perfect arrangements--they exceeded every expectation I had. His talent, intuition, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched. I will absolutely be going to Gulfgate Flowers for all of my floral needs in the future. If you're looking for someone who can take a vision (even a loosely defined one) and turn it into something breathtaking, this is your florist. Simply amazing.

Our experience was not good with Hazeltine Nurseries. First, they didn't call 811 (approval to…read moredig, by Florida statues) and hit the lines which cut off power to our gate podium and gates. After installing the plants, I didn't get the number that was on the quote and I was told that "You got more dirt so we gave you fewer plants". After some discussion, they agreed to add the plants. Be careful with the irrigation added to the contract. We were charged $2,000 for doing absolutely nothing and the comment was that the clock begins for hourly charges when they leave the plant! They were stuck on I75 so w e were charged for several hours. The sales person said that it was less than what we predicted, so you should be happy. This is not the service I expected. I asked for a manager/owner to call me back and never received a call. We will not consider Hazeltine in the future.

Waited quite a long time in their office, finally yelled, "hello!" and someone came out. I asked about my Geiger tree. Her response was, (get this), "leave your name and numb..." I said, "Whoa. I already left my name and number and no one called me back". "Well, I'll call you back" she said, (she sounded just like the first person who told me that). I said isn't there some way you can check to see if one is available, even if it has to be ordered?" Her response? "Give me your name and...." Needless to say, I bought my tree, the same day, elsewhere. Real pros, this group.

Peter and Lisa are a very friendly couple who know a LOT about plants. They have a beautiful…read morenursery around their home and sell about 500 varieties of plants, including the largest airplant collection I've ever seen. It's a paradise at their home nursery with so many beautiful plants to choose from. They also create really beautiful art around many of the plants making a wonderful choice for gifts or for yourself. The hanging airplant "bling" are very pretty and so unique. I have been there at least 10 times and I never leave without something beautiful. Go visit Peter and Lisa, you'll be glad you did!!!!

Salt Your Soul Gift Co. is truly a gem nestled within South Sarasota. So it's pretty fitting that…read morethey sell gems, as well as plants, trinkets, greeting cards, jewelry, and snarky gifts, most of which are sourced from other small businesses, and all of which are completely reasonably priced. Perusing the shelves alone comprises its own joyful experience, but owner Jen offers a number of interactive activities that can be done within the shop. These include a make-your-own terrarium bar, paint-a-flower pot, glaze ceramic pieces, and even a library and coloring station for the kids. I personally took my 4-year-old here for books on a weekly basis over the summer. Best of all, Salt Your Soul is inclusive, judgement-free, and just an all out, high vibe spot to spend some time. Highly highly recommend.

A few days ago, I order some toilet tissue, paper towels, laundry detergent and potting soil. Well,…read morelast night, a box from LOWESS was delivered and, it was none of what I ordered. The box had 3 boxes inside and it is heavy, and some type of flooring or something were in the box. Ok, so I called customer service and told them the problem, long story short, they told me to bring the box back to the store. REALLY?? I can't even lift the box. I have no way to get the box to the store and, I didn't order this. Well, my toilet paper et all, got delivered somewhere else and apparently, even though I didn't get the order, I won't get it until I bring the wrong delivered one back to LOWES, and I have to still pay for the order I didn't get. WOW! WHAT A WAY TO DO BUSINESS!! I've been a customer for 20 odd years, but, I guess that's going to end. And, I'm not paying for what I didn't get or ordered!

Salesperson was great when we ordered the sink, range top, wall oven, range hood, and microwave…read more The sink was first to arrive and after installation the plumber discovered it had a pinhole leak. Went to Lowe's and was told by sales person we had to go customer service - went to customer service and was told we we need to have a manager's override. He walked less than 10 steps into the manager's office explained the situation and returned telling us someone would contact us. I explained we needed a response asap. That was 3 weeks ago and no call. We called them four times and each time put on hold and hung up after being on hold 45 minutes, an hour, 40 minutes, and 90 minutes. It was sad because before being put on hold three of the times was told mánager was right there and that she would transfer our call while explain the problem. No mánager ever took the call. Their response to any problem or issue is to just ignore you. Called their Corporate offices and was stunned when the Customer Service person called this store and the response they gave to her was that they are working closely with us. Not only did they ignore us but lied to the Corporate person. It didn't stop with the sink. We had a problem with the range hood. Went to the store and the sales person needed to get a manager's override. The mánager came to the area to do a simple override but kept his back to us the whole time, knew about the sink problem, was less than 2 feet from us but made it clear he was not going to acknowledge us or communicate with us. Their Customer Service is Terrible and it is the customer who has to find other professionals for additional costly fees to fix the problems as you can't be sure you will get a refund if you want to return the item despite being assured we could. Loved the store for its convenient location but have learned it I better to go to its competitor who stands behind their products and won't be happy until you are happy.
