We recently hired Landscaping by Richard Story after researching landscapers in the Palm Harbor/Dunedin area, and we couldnt be happier with the results. Richard really listened to what we wanted: a tropical design with palm trees, lots of flowering plants, and open runs throughout the yard for our dogs. He proposed a thoughtful plan, kept us informed every step of the way, and completed the project on time and within budget.The finished yard is exactly what we hoped for, beautiful, functional, and our dogs absolutely love it. Richard also made smart recommendations that helped bring our dream yard to life.His team specializes in landscape design, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, sod installation, paver sealing and repair, hardscapes, curb-appeal design, and more. Hes easy to work with, reliable, and reasonably priced.We highly recommend Landscaping by Richard Story for anyone looking to transform their yard.

Richard Story has been a superb landscaper for us for years. He has done outdoor landscape lighting design, landscape irrigation design, and paver design to give our home a very luxurious appearance. His prices are always fair and his work excellent. Richard is also one of the hardest working persons I know and I strongly recommend Landscaping by Richard Story.

Run for the hills!!!!I lost about 20 grand on an artificial turfProject.When he did show up his nephew Kyle did all of the grunt work.He would disappear for 2 to 3 hours at a time there was one Sunday where he actually came to work with supposedly his girlfriend and a friend who quote" knew how to put down artificial turf"Well guess what used my slate Rock to hold everything down.As I was blowing my backyard which I do every day because I have a lot of oak trees the turf was just flying up and the leaves were going underneath itI knew I was in big trouble at that point and I fired him.And then it took 5 days and a call to the Palm Harbor Police to get him to remove his tools off my property.This man should only be pushing a lawn mower and maybe operating weed wacker.Believe me Saf Fer Landscaping is the way to go. You pay for what you get.

We’re sorry you feel this way. Our intention is always to communicate clearly and complete work professionally.
In this case, the project was halted before completion at your request, after materials were purchased, site preparation was performed, and labor was completed based on the agreed scope. The installation was not finished, which was discussed at the time.
We strongly disagree with the characterization of events in this review, including claims involving law enforcement and workmanship, and we attempted to resolve concerns directly when they arose. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach a mutual resolution.
We stand behind our work and our professionalism, and we encourage anyone with questions to contact us directly so expectations and scope can be clearly outlined from the start.
