Reviews of local pros in Fernandina Beach, Florida

Serenity's did a great job cleaning up the yard which was a lot of work. They delivered on what they said they would do and exceeded my expectations.

I enjoyed having Sam, Serenity Home, and his skill, knowledge of plants and design for my backyard. Sam is the most kind, sweet and a delightful man to work with. He strives to please. I would recommend Serenity Garden for anything needed for their services.

When looking for a partner in working on major projects around the house, one looks for proficiency, someone who does what they say they are going to do, a great response rate to requests and reasonable pricing. Sam, at Serenity, does all of that and more.

We used Serenity, at the recommendation of a neighbor who was pleased with Sam’s work, for a major sod installation in our yard. He and his crew did a terrific job with the installation. But, more importantly, he treated the yard as if it was his own. He would show up at 10pm to inspect the association-driven sprinklers to be sure that the watering was correct. He even came to the house while we were away to be sure any supplemental watering was done. No matter what was asked of Sam, he always answered his phone and was responsive to requests.

What’s even more incredible is that Sam has expertise in so many areas. We needed to have our back patio travertine power washed, Re-sanded and sealed. He can do that too. And with the same expertise as those solely in the paver business.

If you are looking for yard maintenance, new sod, hard scape maintenance or other outdoor projects, I highly recommend Sam at Serenity. It is rare to find a kind, respectful and proficient “handy man”…. Sam is a gem!

I highly recommend the Serenity team's landscaping and maintenance services. Our representative designed a landscaping plan that was customized to our ideas, budget, and what made sense for our yard's current state and future vision. Aside from being very knowledgeable about landscaping design and maintenance, it's obvious the team cares about what they do. They are always friendly and upbeat, responsive to our requests and questions, and consistently go the extra mile with their customer service.

We had a huge area on the side of our house that had overgrown shrubs, weeds, etc in it. The team at Serenity removed all the items and installed grass. They moved swiftly but carefully and removed all of the root systems and shrubs. They communicated well when they were coming and were very professional if anything came up that we didn't originally talk about.

At one point we had to discuss pricing due to the job growing and we worked together on a solution to keep the price the same.

We also ran into an issue where we found a rogue sprinkler line and Serenity made the repairs/move on their own and let me know once it was done. I would recommend them to anyone looking for jobs of any size.

Contact me for any further information.

We have been seeing Sam from Serenity working in our neighborhood for quite some time, we asked him to help with some landscaping ideas in our front yard and flower pots. He recently just finished the flower pots and did a wonderful job. When I asked him where the plants came from, he told me he drove all the way to Orlando from Amelia Island to pick them up - since the quality of exotic plants is better from his Orlando source. Obviously, he has quite an attention to detail.

Sam is very easy to work with. He keeps his promises and he follows through with things. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality custom landscape design services.

Firstly, it's super convenient that Serenity's offers a wide variety of home care services. I've used their team multiple times over the years, now for two properties in St Augustine and will continue to be a loyal returning customer! So far, they've done land clearing with tree trimming and brush removal, pressure washing, housekeeping and some interior decorating in some of the rooms. We've also had marine detailing for my boat and mobile detailing as well as on my truck and race car, which they restored to looking practically like new. Ask for King, he's awesome and very knowledgeable!

Wonderful experience. We’ve used Serenity for standard lawn maintenance for a while (super happy with it) and recently had Sam and his crew perform a complete makeover of our lawn and parking area. The work is top notch, but more impressively is the detail and care Sam put into the entire project. He treats it as if it’s his own property and ensures everything is as it should be. I really couldn’t be happier with the entire experience and with my new outdoor space.

Great selection of native plants and super helpful

Love our tree and the service. Fit is in during busy season.

Highly recommend. Also a great resource for Native plants

Best landscapers around. Timely and efficient, also my yard is beautiful now thanks to james and his crew

They just completed the second job for us and did a fantastic job. They know the right plan as well as the right plants for the coast. Work is always done in a professional and timely manner. I would highly recommend their services.

James designed and planted a beautiful, native-plant, flowering garden for my entrance to my home. It is so easy to take care of, and he made the entire project seamless from beginning to end.

I've used Reflections of Nature for 2 landscape projects and very pleased with the job done on both. Very flexible with the design idea I was trying to describe ..plants are nice and perfect for the location. Always a pleasure to work with. Thank you.

Prompt service, native plants, creative plantings. James and Angie work with you to try to find something that works for your budget and always stand behind their work. No pressure....very nice to work with. Btw....I'm a local on the island and recommend this company to my clients.

Reflections of Nature Landscape Nursery is a tremendous asset here where I live (Nassau County, FL). Impeccable workmanship, the owner is educated in the entire eco-system of your yard! What plants are correct for our environment, what should my irrigation pattern be? What tolerates heat/dry/clay/other soils. Reflections of Nature knows the intricate science behind everything that will or will not grow here in Northeast Florida. The owner is dedicated to his customer from start to finish, with the end goal to achieve masterful yards, and, always, happy customers. Thank you, Reflections of Nature for your talent and expertise!!

We agreed on a plan to improve my yard and I paid just under 1/3rd of the verbally agreed upon cost on Jan 26, 2023, the day that his employees installed an irrigation zone whose itemized cost was less than that 1/3rd. No one ever returned and I heard nothing till I called his office number on 03/02. He told me an employee had left for the Philippines and he would be unable to complete the requested tasks. I have heard nothing since, almost 4 months and have not received a refund. The sprinkler head placement was not ideal (a planned redo) and none of the sprinkler heads were aimed correctly as well. Unfortunately I had to be gone most of the day at the doctor's office when much of the work was being done and everyone was gone at my return.

James Loper did an amazing job once again with his landscaping expertise. Three years ago he transformed the back as well as sides of our house. Last month he dramatically changed our front yard which was quite a challenge. James is very prompt and professional and was accommodating to our ideas. His landscape knowledge can turn a stressful project into a work of art. Bravo, James! You come highly recommended!

James and his crew transformed my yard into an oasis of beauty and did so in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. James is responsive, knowledgeable and professional. He provided a detailed plan, quickly, and executed as promised. Highly recommend James and his crew.

James is a really nice guy. I wish I did not have to write a bad review.

I had him lay sod for my new home and install an irrigation system. The sod was laid incredibly poorly. There are gaps between the sod, sometimes two inches or more. It is so bad that six months later little children still have problems walking across my lawn, and it is impossible to mow without scalping some of the sod. When I pointed this out to James his only response was that it is hard to find good help. He would do nothing to fix it.

When he installed the irrigation system there was a large portion of the yard that got no water. He did come back to add another sprinkler, but there is still a large area that does not get watered. He admitted to me that he should come back and add another sprinkler, and he said that he would. But repeated messages asking him to come install it have gone unanswered for more than a month.

I chose James because he is a local small business owner and I really like to support the local businesses. But I wish I had gone with another company. I cannot recommend him to anyone. His work is shoddy and he has refused to make things right. Very poor work, poor service and certainly not worth the money.
