It was actually a previous client that referred me to New Roots Landscaping raving about her experience with the company And staff. I met Chris, the owner, about a year or so ago and was extremely impressed with him. He is an easy-going guy who is down to earth and easy to work with. While clearly knowledgeable about plants and landscape design, he also took great effort to listen to what I was interested in and asked thoughtful questions that allowed him to understand my vision first before utilizing those insights learned to incorporate an absolutely beautiful design with just the right type of plants and shrubs that would best grow and flourish in the different conditions around my yard. Chris worked with my budget offering various options to allow for a great value. In fact, we actually liked it so much, we are planning to do even more in the near future. My neighbors have complimented my landscaping and at least one has asked how to contact New Roots. I highly recommend New Roots Landscaping Design and, especially Chris.

Other landscape experts who came by to assess the damage ask if we had a fire it was so black. Tropical Gardens insisted on doing the fertilization as part of their "Full Service". They clearly did not know what they were doing. After complaining they decided to drop us and said we were too demanding because we wanted a green lawn in the summer. They left us with $5000 worth of damage and made no offer to repair. Go figure! And we paid a lot of money for these so called experts!!!

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.
