Landscaping reviews in Cape Coral, Florida

Had a great time working with this company. The office ladies were great. I worked with Annette and she was attentive to all my needs and questions. My yard has never looked better! My favorite part is their shade room of beautiful alocasia and pothos and other shade plants.

This weekend my husband and I bought three Magnolia trees from Danny Yates. The three ladies that were working were absolutely wonderful! They were helpful with our shopping and very friendly and pleasant. They helped us load up our trees and made it a great shopping experience. They also have a huge selection of trees and plants to choose from. I highly recommend them for your plant and tree needs and will definitely be a returning customer in the future!

Updated on 7/16/2021: Unfortunately one of our magnolias died out of no where, while the other two are doing great. I called Danny Yates and they insisted it was either our maintenance or how we planted the tree. However, all the trees have been treated the same exact way. Which I do think is BS, but okay. All they could offer us was $30 off of a new $300+ tree. They refused to help us out because we didn't have them install the trees. However, when we bought them they talked us out of having them installed because they were backed out over a week. And they never told us that by not using their installation, our trees would not be covered if they die. This is very disappointing, especially since I was so impressed by them before. Many other reviews mention issues with this business and unfortunately now I understand why.

Professional! Beautiful work! Highly recommended! Competent, thorough and fast! Today Sebastian from Danny Yates Landscaping and crew did a beautiful job of planting and top rock and mulching. Cleaned up and planted a lot of barren areas due to Hurricane Ian over a year ago and looks so much better now. Lisa the landscape designer had an awesome plan and it was so good to see it come to life today Even went above and beyond by replanted a plant that we were pulling out into a planter pot. And they checked our sprinkler system too. Will be calling them again!

I had Yates Landscaping redesign the flowerbed areas around my house. Lisa was fantastic to work with. She really listened to what types of plants and flowers I liked and didn't like and came up with a plan that made my yard beautiful. The crew that came out to do there work was quick - it was a hive of activity. I had some special considerations with some of the plants that were being removed and they were extremely accommodating. I did knock off one star as they charge a percentage service fee if paying with a credit card. Many of my neighbors have commented on how beautiful my new landscaping looks.

I started service with Yates in mid-March when I bought my house. The lawn was stressed. Yates fertilized and adjusted the irrigation. In just a couple of months the lawn is revitalized. Lawn and shrubbery appears manicured.

Troy and his team did an amazing job on our yard post Ian. They installed new landscaping, sod, sprinklers and lighting. It's beautiful!!! They were extremely easy to work with, were very professional and have absolutely stood behind their work and their materials. I can't recommend them enough. I wish I could give them ten stars!!!

We spent over 3,400 on 7 palms they were delivered and planted on 1/27/25 . Driving by the nursery on that day I notice a sale sign that said buy one palm get one free . I called the office asked if I could be credited for one palm or get an extra palm since the sale started the day we had ours delivered . A manager said no because the purchase was done before the sale started. I asked why I wasn’t informed ahead of time of the sale and I would of waited to purchase they said they have no idea when they get their sale ahead of time . I think that can not be true must all business have an idea on sale dates. I am Very disappointed on how little care they showed about my concern . I also sent them an email on 2/5/25 and no response to date . Thank you

Troy has been fantastic to work with—extremely knowledgeable and always helpful. We initially connected with Danny Yates through our home builder and had such a positive experience during our landscape consultation that we decided to utilize their maintenance services. We’re looking forward to collaborating on future landscaping projects with Troy and the Danny Yates team!

Wow. Just wow! We paid for a pallet of sod. This was on 10/3/2024. We still have no sod and no refund. I understand there was a hurricane however this is not acceptable.
We reached out to the company and were told “we don’t just arbitrarily give refunds” to which we found out that “Patti” the salesperson never entered our order but did in fact take our money. When speaking with staff we are directed to “Vicky” the one who does payroll. She has then delayed refunding our money by stating “I have to do payroll and I will call you back” which that was Wednesday and no call what so ever. When we called yesterday to ask about status of refund, once again another excuse “we are cutting you a check do you want it mailed or pick up” to which I am picking it up, no chance of them “losing it etc” I was told I would get a call to let me know when I could pick this up.
Enter today, Friday 10/18/24, was just told by Vicky that “it still needs to be signed by the owner who isn’t available yet” when I asked when it would anticipated he would be in she said “ I don’t know” and then proceeded to be very short when I stated I will call back at 3:30 to ask again. This is reasonable to ask as we have been waiting all week for some resolution however this company clearly doesn’t care to make things right or refund money. DO BETTER DANNY AND YOUR STAFF- they are a direct reflection of you and your business. No communication??? Absolutely unacceptable. Others in the landscaping industry have since told me that this is not unusual for this company and that they are well known for “ripping people off and are known to make it difficult to get products or refunds” wow, wish I would have done my research before we went with them.
****Will update when we get our money as I firmly believe I will get a refund and if we have to involve the news etc we will. We have entered a complaint to the better business bureau of course.

Now see response below this- folks this is not accurate as we were never offered sod. They in NO WAY offered to deliver the pallet and DID NOT contact my husband. We have had to call to get information every time- they have NEVER called us. Communication is absolutely horrible with the staff, never mind that it’s the “owner replying “… sure it is, if it was then he would know that there is a problem requiring his signature on a check that should never have had to been refunded. You take money from people and don’t deliver?then it’s a hassle and a fight to get a refund… really??? Who does this- as I type I am still waiting to hear from this company about when to pick up said check. Look at the other reviews and simply sort by money… this isn’t the first review of them and money issues, lack of communication and rude staff.

FINAL Update: did just receive refund and spoke with Shannon. Shannon is the most professional and delightful person that we have dealt with at this company. Thank you Shannon for the assistance and a call back.

Lisa and her staff are very knowledgeable in all areas of lawn care, new plants, sod, irrigation & lighting services. Our new sod and irrigation system were installed quickly. We are Extremely happy with the results. They repaired/replaced a few of our landscape lights. Our new lawn and lighting is spectacular. We will use them for future projects. Thank you.

Great local Nursery. Good selection. Good prices. Extremely knowledgeable about their products that they have for sale. Also knowledgeable about putting together projects, whether it be a few plants for a small setting, to a total re-landscaping yard project.

Highly recommend to at least go in and talk to them before you start that project so you know the pros and cons of what you are planting for where you live.

They installed the irrigation system in a new home we purchased. The box on the outside of the home was locked. We called and asked for a service call and to unlock the sprinkler control box. The receptionist was unhelpful and rude. She said there was nothing they could do. I called another company who came out and assisted. I would avoid this company.

Very knowledgeable knowing their plants very helpful. Definitely would recommend going there. Great selection also.

I’m on vacation in Florida and just witnessed one of Danny Yates employees pick up a piece of trash that flew out of their truck. If I had a yard in this area, I definitely would trust this company to work for me as I feel that their employees would respect my property if they’re respecting property at a gas station. ✅

I’ve been coming here for years. I am completing a stepped retaining wall project that required approximately 40 to 45 Ixora. They stock them literally where you park the truck. Literally open the tailgate and they are there. I picked up half of them 2 weeks ago and the person was super helpful and helped me load them right into the back of the truck. I came on my lunch break and asked if I could load them first to see how many I could fit in the truck and then pay. The person told me I needed to cart them all the way from the front on a plant cart which would be like 5 trips. She said it was company policy. Makes no sense considering she would pull the back stock to replace the ones I bought from the front. I wasn’t buying 5 I was buying like 20 to 25….I just went to Home Depot and saved the time and a little money….

We had an instant jungle installed in 3 days. Solar uplighting, irrigation rerouted and beautiful trees, flowers bushes installed. Now we have a tropical oasis and many new feathered friends we can watch when we relax in our lanai in total privacy and seclusion!

This is what Florida is all about. Before we had a lot of grass now we have a tropical paradise and really feel we are in Florida not some desert!

I wasn’t even here for the installation but when I came back it was breathtaking. My neighbors sent me pics and I could not believe it was my house/property. Landscapping is a game changer. Beautify Cape Coral - do your part with what you have!

George designed the entire property installation and was wonderful to work with. He made it very easy to figure out what to do and DID IT! So patient with newbies to SW Florida taking tours of the nursery to showing me other projects you just knew you were in the best of hands. He provided sound barriers .

My wife enjoys raising monarch butterflies. When they are caterpillars they live off of milkweed plants. I purchased three new plants from Danny Yates Nursery and confirmed with the lady working there that no pesticides are ever used on their plants. She said that they inspect for pesticides and if any are found, they are sent back.
When my wife put the caterpillars on the new plants, all 48 of them were all dead within about 12 hours.
Not at all pleased about being lied to. Called to get a refund but they are closed today. Time to use a more trustworthy nursery. Very disappointed.

Thank you Yates for turning my pile of messy weeds into my butterfly garden.
We will absolutely call you for our next project.
Rick was working down the street and I asked for a free quote. He came right over and sent me a proposal. After a couple changes Miguel came out and got to work. I thought it was a two day project but it took one day! I am very pleased with the entire process. Thank you Rick!

I am so thrilled with my new landscaping and would definitely recommend Danny Yates for any of your outdoor renovations.
Troy Yates has a great team and it shows in the quality in his involvement and in all of the associates in the company.

From the Designer, Drew who was extremely knowledgeable, super easy to work with and gave me great ideas while we customized my landscaping, to the landscaping and irrigation crews that were prompt, friendly and respectful, and to the great Office team when working out the schedule, I am very impressed with the entire Danny Yates company.

I have received many compliments from my neighbors and will continue to use them for any of my future outdoor renovation.

If you’re thinking about landscaping, I would recommend Danny Yates.

This place has a lot of different types of plants and trees. They also deliver if needed. The plants are also outdoor that survive in SW Florida temperatures. They have potting soil and mulch if this is what you're looking for. The employees are friendly and helpful with any questions you have. We purchased a couple of Hibiscus plants and we will return again for future plants soon.

We worked with Troy Yates as the subcontractor from our builder. I found him to be very knowledgeable, professional and responsive to my needs. I am an amateur gardener myself and had quite the list of wants. He researched options for our area and found amazing plants to meet our needs. I will be building an Orchid house and he understood planning for the future in the design today. Including accommodating my special Talavera pots and a separate cycleon the sprinkler system for the misters in the Orchid house. I am looking forward to expanding on our plan in the future with them. I plan to look into their maintenance division as well
