I originally hired Victor of Nocera Landscaping in Boynton Beach in mid-April and we spoke about my project In Seagate. I did my due-diligence and even though his website showed outdated projects he assured me he would be able to accommodate our budget and desires curb appeal/requirements. I asked him for a drawing. He said he was working on it. Several weeks went by as I asked him at least 5 separate times for a drawing. I finally said 5 weeks is way too long to wait and he assured me again he had it. We met to go over it (he said it was completed) and he supposedly forgot it at home. Then he came the next day with a blank pad of paper. He never did it. I called him out on the several unnecessary lies...he apologized and said there was no excuse. At that point I brought to his attention 14 apologies...being late, just showing up at my home unannounced asking for $$, being late every tome we met...I should have fired him at that point, that's on me. I have him a second chance. At that point in good faith I did pay 2 invoices for work already done and we started over. He then by accident tore up part of my driveway and broke the pool coping subsequently stalling our project by over 6 weeks. When he finally got me an estimate it was only for the grass in the backyard. He said the job was for 5200 sq. Ft and was $4600 plus $2000 to install. I immediately had it double and triple measured it and it was ONLY 2700 feet. I immediately fired him and a day later he asked me to pay him the $240 balance I owed for work completed. I declined. Hhe was simply sub-contracting everything and charging me DOUBLE the cost. This is not I industry standard. Plus- he just tried to scam me out of $3,000. This caused Me to go back and look at the 2 invoices I paid. I saw that each line item that was contracted out was actually doubled. He was charging a 100% up charge on each item. I spoke to many of the contractors he used and they all charge half or less what he was charging me. One fee was a dump fee for $800 for shrubbery. I asked him for some receipts- He declined to provide them to me. Supposedly he is religious man who is a recovering alcoholic. I have no problem with either of those things until you steal from my family. Beware of Victor and Nocera Landscape. He paints a very believable picture but underneath he is either ignorant or a thief. Either is unacceptable and people should beware of this company before hiring him. His work is sub-par and his fees are astronomical. Attached is his receipt for work done without ever giving an estimate- and a copy of a text when I over and over asked for a copy of a receipt from a company to verify a charge. read more

Vic was phenomenal to work with. I wanted a butterfly and hummingbird friendly garden with pops of color and a tropical look. He nailed it - put bromeliads in the front and a big alocasia that I love. He also went to multiple nurseries to find the right maypop Passion flower I wanted and the night blooming jasmine. This being my first landscaping project I realized after he finished the project that the mulch he had put down was not sustainable eco mulch. I asked him to remove it and he is coming this week to do so. Couldn't ask for better service. Highly recommend. read more

He started well - friendly, on time, listened and has lots of experience. Started with the written quote. Problems began when he wouldn't communicate what days he would work and would just show up. Hard to plan that way. He would do parts of the job and then start other parts never completing any one piece. We had weeds, so he suggested sod (expensive) but then didn't prep (no weed kill or tilling) and just laid it on top. Weeds grew through. The demo was supposed to remove roots and most roots still there making planting more difficult. Then he provided bills for the sam items he charged for before and then disappeared for a few weeks. Seems his daughter's wedding took his time and money and he lost all focus. Had to hire others to finish. Disappointing. read more

Vic is a real pro. Created a beautiful design and worked with the HOA architectural board to provide drawings and plant names to get the project approved. Estimated the job and had the exact amount of plants, rocks and mulch for the project. He is easy to work with AND, most important, he treats his workers with a great deal of respect. He oversees the installation without getting in the way. His workers do not need a lot of over site either. I highly recommend him. He made the process painless. read more

Our little condo group hired Nocera to redo our front landscape. Vic had the best plan and the best price. We got all new plants, new stone, some sod and a beautiful triple palm! His crew was polite and clean and the job was done in one day from ripping out the old junk to planting. The guys worked hard all day in the heat and cleaned up nicely. Vic is a pleasure to work with and we are all very happy that we selected Nocera from the 3 bids we received. We will use them in the future and recommend them to others. read more

Very nice guy but the work was subpar. I had Nocera regrade for drainage and install pavers. The regrading was a waste of a lot of money. After a rain shower, there was puddling everywhere in the yard. I ended up having to hire another landscape company to fix the problem. The company had to remove all the weed barrier, that I had Nocera install, to remedy the problem. I had a stone pathway installed on the side of the house, that too had to be raised to avoid all the water collecting along the path. In summary, the work was terrible and I had to have it redone all over again. read more

Vic and his helper were amazing. He took our haphazard yard and gave it form. They were prompt, polite, neat, and accommodating. Highly recommend. If I could give him 10 stars I would read more
