I hired them for paver installation and paid down payment in September 2021. I understand building materials are in demand. They do not communicate with their customers and when they do they are rude and unprofessional - especially the owner! I have dealt with a lot of companies and have never dealt with an owner that was so nasty to their customers. After 7 months I cancelled the contract. I lost 20% of the total but it was worth it not to deal with them any longer. I hired another company and ordered the same pavers. Somehow they were able to get the pavers and they have already been installed. I do not recommend this company! read more

ordered 2 yards of dirt and 2 yards of mulch over the phone. it was delivered as promised and the driver, Peter, was very accommodating. He skillfully put the loads exactly where I wanted them. easy to do business with, a real pleasure. read more

They had a good selection of stone, mulch and soil. However, they would not match competitor price on a lower quality potting mix. Someone recommended that they received 4 yards of limestone delivered at $80. I figured I would try them out for since it sounded like their pricing was very reasonable. I needed 4 yards of Potting Mix, that I normally get for $27/yard, very high quality, but a 15 minute drive further. Sunshine nursery said their price was $30/yard and their website advises they match competitor prices, but when I brought a receipt with a slightly lower price, they wouldn't match it. The response was, "well you don't have to drive as far." I didn't find that response very customer friendly or honoring their word on their website. I will take my volume buying elsewhere. Very disappointed. read more

Well, we took them to small claims court. And won. So we got our money back. The Judge was very unhappy with her. She freely admitted she owed the money and freely admitted that she has other customers waiting over a year. Refused to pay until the last minute when she absolutely had too. Please steer clear! Owner Peggy Malchiore has many customers waiting for patio to be installed. And has their money as well. She is a ponzi scheme. Her sons are Dave and John read more

I can't say enough about the workmanship and professionalism and attention to details that Dave with Sunshine Nursery showed us. From start to finish it was one of the best experience we've ever had. We plan on using them again in the near future. They do beautiful work! We are so happy. Thank you Sunshine Nursery! read more

See all

This is an old story. The Father dies. The two boys and Mom take over. Dad had a good reputation. The son I delt with was Dave. Work was not done as we agreed to right off the bat. My wife and I spent a weekend restocking block to get it right. Things were not square, backhoe hit and damage to the house in several places one tree was destroyed. When I asked them to discount the price to pay for the tree they threatened me. Dave "the body builder" even offered a physically threatening comment. The workers tried hard. Dave makes poor decisions that makes them look bad constantly. Dave is a very entitled guy Living off dads success. Poor poor poor service he missed everyone of his self imposed deadlines. Mom has a very difficult personalty and attitude. She threatened to place a lean on my home prior to them finishing the job because she didn't like the punch list of final details I thought should be completed. It was 4 hours of work to finish up the punch list. Now after the work is done I have warranty issues he / They will not call me back. To many negative issues to describe. Call some one else. Their employees Scott and Carlos seem like good guys. Mom and Dave are the issue. BTW: The other brother John Gray is out side of this business now and he has good reputation my next door neighbor speaks very highly of him. avoid avoid avoid! read more

We had limestone rock delivered and the office and delivery was excellent. I'd call them again. read more

Be warned. Waiting since February 2022 for patio installation. They blame the wholesalers for not supplying the pavers. It's not true. I took them to small claims and won a judgement in my favor. Avoid Avoid Avoid. Run! read more

Great job!!! Carlos and his crew worked diligently each day. Will use them again and recommend to my friends. Dave was great to work with as well!! read more

Terrible company! Do not hire these people if you have any sort of time frame because they have no idea what that is. What I Paid for and what was recieved was entirely different. Not at all an honest company. I so wish I would have read the reviews before getting involved with this very shady company Absolutely no recommendation. Worst company EVER! read more

This company is so awful!!!! I had to rate them something- could have been a negative star. Don't recommend them to anyone. We had pavers installed approx. 4 years ago. When they did they didn't do the job right and when called upon, they didn't want to come back. Well, 4 years now to date, we called someone else to fix their mistake. What a mistake. We have to get the complete driveway pulled off and re-paved in how should have been done. I repeat, do not do business with these people. They don't even know how to install pavers correctly!! Or do business with them for anything else. SCAM!!!! read more

Sunshine Nursery in Crystal River ABSOLUTELY THE WORST PEOPLE TO DO BUSINESS WITH!!!!! These people are SCAM ARTISTS. We paid them a whole lot of money to do landscaping around our house and trees in the backyard. We were out of town when they finished and when we got home saw that they left one tree undone. Why would I not want that tree done when clearly the contract states ALL TREES IN THE BACKYARD? The owners of this business are VERY RUDE! They told be it will be another $750 to do around that tree after they just got a whole bunch of money $$$ for the job. They would not fix there error and were down right rude about it. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THESES PEOPLE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. read more

I'm shocked at the negative reviews. We moved to Citrus Co three years ago - and have used Sunshine Nursery for four large paver jobs on two houses. You have to wait for them to start because they're so busy - but once they start, you'll be happy you waited! The crew is phenomenal! they are very professional, efficient, and polite. They whip through the job like a well oiled machine and leave a beautiful product behind. They even referred other professionals (tree work, screen room, and concrete) that did amazing work. I recommend Sunshine Nursery 100%!! read more

Great service from the young kid who works there. Good selection of products and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!!

We contracted for a landscaping job. The work that was completed was great. Just one problem: we paid for the job once the major portion of it was finished. It's been nearly a month and the contractor has yet to show up to do that last bit of work. We've stopped by the shop every week since to ask when we'll get our project done. Every week, the owner gives excuses. Too bad. If it weren't for this experience, we would gladly recommend this business. Now? No way! read more

Our paver job was just completed and so far we are very happy! From the initial estimate, to the completed job, it has been a great homeowner/contractor experience. Communication was very important to us and we got just that. The crew that came and did the work were very conscious of what they were doing and answered all our concerns. With all the work we have had done on our home recently, and some really bad experiences we have had, we must say we would highly recommend Sunshine Nursery and be using them again for future projects! read more
