Cody Rayner, the owner of Flawless Palms Landscaping, is by far the sharpest and most reliable…read morelandscaper I've ever met. After years of contacting multiple landscapers throughout Sarasota County--with most not even returning my calls or showing up for scheduled estimates--working with Cody has been a breath of fresh air. While others have wasted my time or delivered outrageous quotes, Cody and his team stepped in during a time crunch and transformed our yard with his team in just one day, and at a fair price. They operated like a pit crew and accomplished more in one day than most do in a week. Throughout the project, he also took care of small issues without hesitation, even going out of his way to pick up a replacement sprinkler head after discovering one was broken. I would give Flawless Palms Landscaping 100 stars if I could. We'll not only be hiring Cody for our weekly lawn service at home, but also for our investment properties that need a landscape overhaul. Thank you, Cody, for your hard work and a job exceptionally well done!

Examination of our .5-acre property revealed other trees in poor condition, plus some other large banana trees that we wished removed. Jimmi came out and spend a good amount of time going over our needs and explaining the process; Cody and the crew did a great job of taking down the trees, trimming some problematic branches on remaining trees, and removing debris. It was quite inspiring to see these professionals making quick work of our problems, and I'm glad I don't have to worry about the next big storm crashing one of my trees into our own house or that of a neighbor. His crew also ground down all the stumps and was gracious enough to also grind out the stump of a tree removed previously. It was a lot of work, but well worth the cost. Professional, polite and polished effort.

Roger and I met three weeks prior to the job, during which he provided me with a quote of $900.00…read moreto remove four old stumps, one large oak stump, a pepper tree, and two small palms that were starting to sprout leaves. On August 10, 2025, he called me to say he could do the job for $700.00 and offered to work with me since it was a small job. I mentioned that I was seeking other quotes because his initial offer seemed too high, and I would let him know my decision. He called again, which should have been a warning sign for me to look for someone else, but I ignored it and agreed to have him come for the job on August 24, 2025, at 8:00 AM. I asked if he was sure about the timing because it had been raining, and whether he worked on Sundays. He assured me that he would accommodate my schedule. He arrived at 8:28 AM, which was 28 minutes late, and started banging on my door with a document showing a new charge of $950.00. He also attempted to alter the number of stumps to be removed. I refused to sign the document, and he became hostile, aggressive, and argumentative. I told him, "You will not pressure me into signing that document, and if you continue to disrespect me, you may leave." I intentionally left my entry door open to record the entire encounter. His behavior was dishonest, as he left dirt on the side of my property and failed to bag and tie up the stems and leaves for proper disposal. I have notified the county about this issue. Additionally, he made inappropriate comments, telling me how nice I looked. In my opinion, he is truly unprofessional. 0.5/5 stars.

After my first experience, I didn't hesitate to reach back out to James again when I needed work done EXCEPT this time James didn't finish the job, left the property a mess, and is now unreachable. May 15th: I had to leave the job site early but before leaving James approached me to pay for the job in full via Square so he could build credit with the company for loans. I had no issue paying him as he had completed the last job without issue. James also asked if I could have my neighbors pay via square which I said I would help with, if needed as they are not tech savvy. We discussed another job for him before I left that day. James assured me he would be removing the shefflera and oak and hauling it away before the day's end as they were also simultaneously working on my neighbor's property as well (jobs I got for him). May 17th: James comes by the next potential job site I was offering him. I gave him a few cold Cokes and allowed him to go through the shed and take items that him/his company could use. Shortly after the appraisal I started to receive complaints about the pond (my initial job) not being completed. May 19th: James reached out to see about moving forward with the next job however he hadn't finished the original job. He mentioned spotting a 2-3ft baby gator. May 20th: I returned to the property and the oak was still there in large sections. I had to locate James up the road on job site number 4 to ask when he would be finishing my property which was started on the first day (May 15th) and to let him know that shoes, socks, and my neighbor's shovel, which they borrowed for the job was at the house. I informed him of the empty Gatorade, styrofoam cups, and water bottles strewn about the yard that I had to pick up. James and his worker started arguing over it. Jame's worker told me I've been nothing but kind to them (buying them cold drinks, lunch, and tipping them on past jobs) and he will see to it that my property is finished before days end. I told them if they are reluctant because of the baby alligator I would stand in the water (only a few feet deep) and guard the men while they work. He said it wasn't necessary. Trusting his word I left. My neighbors later called and let me know they didn't touch my yard. James told me via text that he would be there on Friday (May 22nd) May 22nd: I show up early to unlock the gates head to an apt then come back to wait. By 1pm no James. I text him and his reply "I'm gunna be honest with you I'm exhausted, we need the day off, we'll be there tomorrow between 12-2" followed by "I will return". If he knew he wasn't coming a text earlier would have been polite so I didn't sit waiting on someone who isn't knowingly showing up. I informed the tenant of James's coming on Saturday so he could make arrangements with his vehicle as they would need the driveway, lock up, and head home. Saturday May 23rd I head to the property, unlock the gates, wait, wait, and wait.....dejavu... No James. After 2pm I sent him a message except this time there was no reply. I have since tried to call and text James multiple times to no avail. He is intentionally dodging my calls/texts as he replied to other texts for new work which lets me know he has little to no intent on finishing the job and likely blocked me altogether as my messages are no longer showing delivered. If I do not hear back by next week I will have someone finish the job he walked away from as I have many people depending on me for the completion of the project. James has not only inconvenienced me with his no-shows but also let my tenant and neighbors down who are depending on the completion of this work. I will no longer use and/or refer to James as I will likely have to prepare for legal action for breach of contract. Be careful if using this company as James has no integrity and will take your payment in full and walk away without guilt or remorse. Shady con artist. James lost a loyal customer.
