Landscaping reviews in Sarasota, Florida

I have used Critter Ridge for projects large and small. They do a beautiful job with premium plantings from their own nursery. Customer service is excellent with the number one aim being to please. You can't go wrong with this outstanding landscape contractor.

Beautiful installation with thought given to all concerns. Great team led by Tom. Have worked with Critter Ridge from initial build and landscape design through today. Highly recommend for their skill, professionalism and communication.

Critter Ridge Landscaping did a wonderful job installing a very large boulder and various plants and trees in our landscape. They were punctual, professional and cleaned up after they were finished! Besides the landscaping, they also installed a synthetic putting green in my backyard that looks and acts like real grass! Now only if I can make more putts but that’s on me, not them! Highly recommend this company!

We’ve been using Critter Ridge for over 10 years for landscape design; planting of shrubs, ornamentals, and trees; and general advice on our property and landscaping issues. Their work has always been of the highest quality and compatible with our house and basic landscaping. They have good design sensibilities and have always offered sound advice. We will continue to count on them for our landscaping needs and wholly recommend them.

We have used Critter Ridge Landscape for about 15 years and have always been extremely happy with their work! We love how creative they are as well as their ability to find just the right plants for the area. You are never left in the dark as their communication is awesome. We are in the process of using them again to replace hurricane damage. They are very prompt addressing any concerns or questions you might have. Cannot say enough about how much we love them!

3 Months after installation of our new landscaping, Critter Ridge continues to provide outstanding support for their work. A few plants didn't make it, and CR came out immediately, assessed the situation, and fixed everything. We could not be happier.

We hired Critter Ridge to design and deliver landscaping for our home. We relied on Steve's experience and vision to create a plan for us, and we could not be happier! The project was completed ahead of schedule, and executed very well. We did have a few minor issues, but CR followed up very quickly and fixed everything. We highly recommend.

Critter Ridge did an outstanding job of designing and installing a new landscape at our house. Scott was knowledgeable and creative, and the staff was courteous and efficient. In addition, after Hurricane Milton blew down three trees, they came out and re-staked them. We highly recommend Critter Ridge.

Nice job on planting but pretty much destroyed my landscape lighting.
Update: when they found out about the lighting issue they promptly called to schedule a fix.
All finished this morning and we are very satisfied with all their work and prompt follow-up

We used Critter Ridge for a landscaping update at our house and are glad we did. We liked their plan, and the end result looks great. We would definitely use them again.

The need was to update both the front and back yards at our house -- to add some color and clean things up a bit. We asked three companies for options, and they all submitted proposals in the $10-15K range. Critter Ridge was the middle of the three on price, but we liked their proposal the best and the people seemed very nice. They proposed a plan that used 75% of the existing plant material, but added some new plants for color and moved things around to improve the lines. After living with the new landscaping for about a month now, we couldn’t be happier with the end result.

Since they’re a top provider they’re pretty busy and scheduling was about 2 months out, which was fine with us. The job took about three days to complete, with a few odds and ends being cleaned up a day or two later. They did everything we asked, and even did a few extra things just to make it look even better. Plus, they were great to work with, making sure that we were 100% satisfied with the job and addressing every concern. I highly recommend Critter Ridge.

I interviewed several landscape contractors to completely re-do my backyard. Ultimately I decided on Critter Ridge. Although they were not the least expensive bid I received, I could just tell that the owner knew his stuff and I did not want to pick the wrong company to work on my home. Steve came out several times to address my wishes and concerns and was so patient with me. Ultimately, I trusted his plans and suggestions, and I am so happy I did. Their work transformed my backyard to a beautiful oasis and every person who sees it comments on what a beautiful backyard I have. I am so pleased, I have contracted with them again to work on the front yard. I highly recommend Critter Ridge.

The entire experience working with Critter Ridge Landscape Company was exceptional. The plan that Steve Neilsen developed is beautiful. The landscape installation team led by Tom were professional and very easy to work with. Everyone at Critter Ridge went out of their way to give us a project that we would love.

We highly recommend Critter Ridge for any landscaping work. Scott thoughtfully designed our front yard and was personally onsite during installation. He listened to our feedback and made real-time adjustments as needed. The entire crew was meticulous and professional, delivering outstanding results that exceeded our expectations. We've received countless compliments from neighbors on how beautiful everything looks. The office staff was friendly, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. If you value quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, Critter Ridge is the team to trust.

To quote a neighbor passing by our house: "Amazing landscaping! AMAZING!!"

Critter Ridge designer, Scott, as well as demonstrating a thorough knowledge of tropical plants and an understanding of how to assemble them to create a beautiful design, contributed a couple of key ideas to shape the design. One was to note the West Indies style of our house and then choose plant material that was compatible with that style, an approach that had not occurred to us. The other insight was to utilize space in the common area that abuts our yard to bring in plants that would enhance the design. In this way, he was able to create a somewhat symmetrical "gateway" of palms and other plants to provide an aesthetically pleasing entrance for the driveway.

The installation of the plants and hardscape went well. Tom and his crew were outstanding, hardworking, conscientious, and aiming to please. The very talented pavers the company contracts with initially had trouble matching the driveway pavers, but Scott was able to find the perfect match. The resulting pathway is beautiful, and the transition from the driveway absolutely seamless.

Critter Ridge is understandably very busy, so we had to wait a little longer for our garden to be installed. But it was well worth it. We couldn't be happier with the results. Bottom line: Critter Ridge is a sterling company well deserving of five stars and then some.

Critter Ridge did a spectacular job of designing our landscaping redo - and then executing it perfectly! They were very patient working with me to make sure we got just what we wanted - and it looks gorgeous!!! Thank you!!!

I was very impressed when I observed Steve individually pruning the existing shrubs next door to complete the look of the project they were doing for the house across the street and knew that is the kind of company that appreciated and performed quality landscaping services.

When Scott, the designer met with me to observe my artistic renderings of what I envisioned and found them to be helpful to put the best suited plants to implement my ideas, we had an ideal relationship. I was totally pleased, even as we modified from the drawings slightly, to add a few more palms. Scott and Tom and the crew have gotten my wife and I more compliments, from neighbors walking or driving by, that shows the neighborhood appreciates the level or workmanship and design. Thank you for your services!

I worked with the team at Critter Ridge on an overhaul of my landscaping and I am very pleased. They are professional, knowledgeable, do beautiful work, have great design ideas, and are prompt on communication and follow up, which is so nice. The crew is very respectful when on site working on your house and keeps everything clean and tidy, which is hard to find. Everyone at the office is friendly and so easy to work with. I highly recommend reaching out for your next Landscaping Redesign or even just some seasonal color and awesome pots! I get tons of compliments on the changes/enhancements.

We used Siesta Key for repairs on our irrigation.system. Barbara in the office is great to work with and the service team was professional and knowledgeable. Would recommend.

Quality landscape services with attention to design, installation and irrigation needs. Siesta Landscape just finished landscaping our home. John and his associates are professional, efficient and courteous, and the focus on customer satisfaction is apparent. I would use them for future landscape projects and recommend them to others.

I had a problem with the Landscape Committee of my Homeowners Association and needed a certified arborist to offer an opposing opinion. Not only did John Butts timely return my call, but he refused compensation and was professional in the content and fairness of his reply. I will certainly look to John and his company when a need arises in the future for the services they offer.

Scott takes great care of our property. Very pleased with Siesta Key Landscape and Scott. Highly recommend.

They did a very outstanding job! The workers were super nice, will definitely call them back when I need more work done on my house ! 10/10 recommend !
