Landscaping reviews in Orlando, Florida

John Madison Landscaping did an awesome job on our home. They designed and installed a long‑lasting drainage solution, built a composite deck off our back patio, and updated our front yard landscaping.

Working with John was easy—consultations were informative and collaborative, and the recommendations really fit how we live. The quality of the work and attention to detail were top‑notch. The production manager and job site crew were professional, communicative, and respectful. Highly recommend!

Great prices and great employees. We've hired them many times for our rental property landscaping needs.

John is the best! He’s done two of our homes landscaping. John, I need you to do work on our newest place! (Last home, I swear!).

We are very happy with the final product. Our grass is green and the plants are much fuller in the bigger flower beds. We are also happy with the rock wall in the front.

Job was designed and installed with highest degree of professionalisim. We can highly recommend for a large or small project. With the new design our home looks great.

Unreliable! I have been asking for an estimate of a partial sod replacement for a week now and still have not received what I asked for. The ladies in the office are nice but have no answers, I have not been communicated with at all and have been ignored. I have been more than patient but apparently they do not want my business so I am taking it elsewhere.

I do NOT recommend this company. I saw them at the home and garden show, they present themselves as the best. I called to schedule a visit for a free quote as they offer. Once I called they could only schedule me for over 2 weeks just to come view the property .....then!!! today, I
get called and told that this person "John" will not be available to make it on the schedule date and need to re-scedule... REALLY??? Imagine if he does the work and something goes wrong. You will never get him to come back. Poor service.

John and his staff are easy to work with and, by far, the most knowledgeable and experienced in Central Florida. I use them for my monthly maintenance and any additional jobs that are needed at my home. Highly recommended!

Was referred to John Madison from a friend. WOW! What an amazing company and person. Very friendly, punctual, and made my dream come true. I will recommend John Madison Landscaping to everyone I know and will use him any time the need arrises.

John and the team at John Madison did a fantastic job replacing a French drain in my yard. Everyone involved was super easy to work with and they really catered to my needs. Use them, great company!

JML installed sod and hardscape in my backyard. The job was on the smaller side but the company treated me and my job like it was the most important one on their list!
From the initial meeting with John to the last walk-thru with a punch-list and questions, everyone at the company was punctual, organised, communicative, hard-working and amiable.This is clearly a well-run business and it shows in the high level of execution and organisation.
Even when some work that had to be redone (my communication error), John and the crew unhesitatingly worked promptly to make me happy with the result.
My irrigation issues were diagnosed and the system was tweaked repeatedly for the best results for my lawn. The admin/office staff communicated with me clearly and co-ordinated everything well.
I am so satisfied with management and the performance of everyone at JML that I have already recommended them twice and will be using them for my year 'round outdoor maintenance.

We love John Madison Landscape. Very knowledgeable and honest. We use them 8 years ago to replace all the sod in my backyard and just recently called them again for my front yard. We wanted to replace the sod there as well but he said honestly it didn't need replacing and just told us what to go out and buy to make it come back. That's a great businessman!

Best decision I made was to hire John Madison Landscaping!

We had a complete rear yard landscaping performed by John in 2017 that included patio stone pavers, stone planters, pergola, lighting, urn fountain, irrigation, plants/trees, fencing, gutters and sealing of the installed stone/pavers. John personally provided complete color designs for our review and approval plus handled all county/city permits. I used his designs for our HOA Architecture Review Committee and HOA Board review and received approval first time through with no issues.

John Madison handled all matters as a one-stop prime contractor so I did not need to deal with separate contractors (e.g., fencing, electrical, gutters, plumbing, sealing). Also, most importantly, John and staff solidly stand behind their work. Whenever I emailed or called with a question or issue, it was answered or responded immediately or within one day.

Our rear yard is now a showplace for our community with neighbors and realtors requesting “who did this fabulous landscaping for you?” Our rear yard is our outdoor paradise to use to entertain family and friends.

Word to wise... Ignore the one and only negative comment about John Madison. This impatient person is clearly a bogus complaint since he never met with nor hired John for a landscaping job. John’s response to his comment was professional and demonstrates the situation clearly enough to know how unreasonable the comment is. Focus only on feedback and comments from those who actually hired John Madison for a landscaping project.

I contacted John Madison Landscape and schedule a visit to quote us on our front yard because my neighbor got her lawn done by them recently and she was very happy with their service. On February 8th John Madison himself came out to my home and we discussed what I was looking for. I sent him my property survey during the visit via email and he told me they would contact me in 2 weeks with a design and some quotes. On March 4th I emailed John asking if they had any information yet. He told me he would have his office call me the next day to schedule a follow up. I'M STILL WAITING and it is now March 11th. Going to tackle this job on my own because I'm skeptic on calling another vendor.

I couldn't be more please with John Madison & team's work! We had a previous contractor that tried to help with our homes very serious drainage issues, but eventually just took our money and ran. John helped to ease our concerns, and worked hard to try different approaches to fix our issue until it was resolved (within the budget & time we were promised). John and his team were easy to get a hold of and schedule appointments with, and were always very professional. We couldn't be more pleased with our new drainage system as well as the new landscaping. I highly recommend using John Madison Landscaping, and I look forward to working with him again in the future for all our landscaping needs.
We can't thank you enough,
Sincerely,

I can’t say enough good things about John Madison Landscape. John is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. We recently had a project completed for part of our yard and pool enclosure area. The teams were all polite and efficient. Manny, the project lead, works hard to make sure the client is pleased with the results. In fact, we are so pleased with the result we have decided to keep going with the yard improvements and have John draw up plans for a complete overhaul of the front yard as well. Thank you to John and his team for helping my mother to feel proud of her house! We couldn’t be more grateful!

Great experience quality work, professional and fast. Awesome customer service even years after the work was done! We will definitely contract them again , this time for the backyard!!

If there was a Top Gun program for Landscape Companies, John Madison and his team would be invited. They are truly, the Best of the Best!! John and his team have done 2 major projects at 2 different properties. Both times, they came out better than expected and both times, everything John said would happen on each day during the process actually happened. I also use John Madison Landscape for weekly lawn maintenance and I could not be happier. Many times, his workers take care of problems before I have the time to address with them. To quote Tina Turner..."Simply the Best!!" I highly recommend.

We bought a new home in Winter Garden, FL, at the end of 2018. The landscaping that the builder installed was generally inferior, so we hired John Madison and his staff to upgrade the entire front yard. The work they did is just terrific. And the staff were highly professional, responsive and kept reasonably close to the planned schedule. The plants they obtained, including three fairly large trees, were especially high quality. John told me -- and obviously it's true -- that they reject low-quality plants supplied by nurseries, taking only first quality. Finally, even though they were working on the very front of our house, digging out beds that began at the front wall, they did absolutely no damage to the house itself. We couldn't be happier with John Madison Landscape Inc. Highly recommended. Special kudos to the on-site supervisor, Andy.

John Madison and his team were fantastic to work with from conceptualization to the final product and their follow up visits to check on the plants and irrigation system they installed for us. They worked with us in a complete redesign of our front yard, including providing some great advice on our separate front porch project. We have been thoroughly impressed with both John Madison and his team. They were knowledgeable, personable, and overall very educational. They taught us how to maintain our new landscaping and did weekly check-ins to make sure everything was still doing well. Now we are the talk of the neighborhood and everyone compliments our new front lawn. We would absolutely recommend John Madison and his team!

I can’t say enough great things about John Madison and his team. They recently completed a major project for me—driveway, landscaping, irrigation, and lighting—and it was truly the best renovation experience I’ve ever had. Everything went like clockwork. The quality of work was top-notch, and any issues that came up were fixed immediately, no questions asked.

John is incredibly fair, efficient, and honest—truly a rare find these days. His crew was professional, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. I’ve done a lot of renovations over the years, and this was by far the smoothest and most pleasant experience of them all.

If you’re looking for a contractor who delivers what they promise (and more), look no further. Highly, highly recommend!
