Landscaping on a Budget Sarasota - Sarasota, Florida

Wow, these guys are GREAT! I called on a Wednesday, they came out Thursday morning for a consultation and had the project done by the following Wednesday, now it wasn’t a huge project but that kind of response time is impressive.
We had crushed seashells and really needed grass for our pups sensitive paw pads, we also learned we had a very pretty but invasive species that they recommended doing away with and replaced them with some beautiful colorful flowers.
It was also done at a great price and looks absolutely beautiful! Could not be happier with Gary at Landscaping on a Budget, I’d highly recommend them! 10/10 *’s

I highly recommend Landscaping on a Budget! They developed a plan with a detailed sketch. Sent pictures of the flowers to be used and worked out ways to complete the job saving as much money as possible. During the installation the crew discovered a severe irrigation leak and had to pause the work. They managed to get an irrigation crew out to do the repairs within 2 hours after I called around and could not get anyone out until the next day. I also had an old flower bed taken out and replaced with sod. They even refunded $200.00 for the unused sod. Gary and his team are fantastic!!

We just had our landscaping done by Gary Bushorr aka Landscaping on a budget. Our landscaping came out above our expectations. Gary was in the hospital and things weren’t going quite as plan. Gary got out of the hospital and that very same day was at our house and positioned the project back on course. The out comes of this project are remarkable and we are getting great compliments and feedback from our neighbors. His landscaping crew lead by Joe were professional and amazing! The office crew Pattie and her assistant were pleasant to work with as well!

We had reached out to the landscaping company we have used in the past, but they weren't available until August. They referred us to Gary, who came out the same day and gave us a quote and plan that evening. We said OK, sent a deposit, and they were out the very next day to do the project! We are so pleased. They first had to remove some very old plantings with deep roots. The two young men doing the work really earned their pay!! We are thrilled with the results! It opened up our view to the beautiful lake behind us. I highly recommend Gary and his employees!

Gary went out of his way to do the job he did for me. Literally, I was outside his work space and he drove extra miles to do what he did. He transformed my house. And even though, unfortunately, I had to sell it I’m sure the price I sold it for had a lot to do with his work. He’s worth every penny and more.

I called Landscape on a Budget to get an estimate for our yard and driveway and they came right away and were on time to give us an estimate. Gary was good about guiding us to the right plants for our location. The work crew was very efficient and professional.
When you call or email the office, you WILL get a call or email back. I feel they are an honest business and they care about their customers satisfaction.

Not a pro. I asked him to make beds and to cut edges for those beds. Instead he dumped a pile of loam on my lawn and then put mulch on top of the loam. The workers left rubbish on my lawn, failed to actually plant all of the plants, and generally did a messy job. Additionally, after we made it clear we did not want any loam stored on our lawn (because of the difficulty of removing it without harming the lawn) the workers moved the left over loam from our driveway, on to the lawn. I would avoid this group.

As an update, the owner does not take criticism well (as evidenced by his complaints, below, about four-star reviews.) When I texted him pictures of his messy job and complained about the trash he left behind and the quality of his work, he called me a psychotic with anger issues. Strange way to run a business.

As a further update (in response to Gary's odd response): Gary, I am not going to make any comment about your bizarre claim regarding my wife, other than to offer it as more evidence that you REALLY do not take criticism well. I have also added one of the photos I sent to you so readers can see the debris and loam you left on my lawn. I'm sure you have good days when you do good work, but you definitely have days when your work is poor. Next time, deal with the complaint, make it right, and avoid bad reviews.

It seems there is some kind of review bomb campaign on review sites by Internet shills against Landscaping on a Budget. Not sure why. Keep in mind, this is an honest review by a real customer.

We contracted Landscaping on a Budget for some basic yard work, hardscaping and removal of dirt mounds. Joyce at the front desk is terrific, friendly and personable. Gary was knowledgeable and offered us a fair quote.
