Brian Ware's Landscaping

About us

For over thirty years I've provided creative landscape designs and expert installation for Central Florida homeowners. I'm a one man operation and work closely with you every step of the process. I listen carefully, and create a plan that will bring your vision to life. After the job is complete, I'm available for follow-up visits to provide seasonal maintenance to keep it looking it's best. Your finished job is my advertising, so I'm highly motivated to help you keep it looking great! I'm also available for consultations about a wide variety of horticultural topics. I can provide a plan for those who might want to do the work themselves, but just need guidance as to the design. New to the area with a yard full of strange plants? We can do a complete walkthrough, identify everything, and bring you up to speed as to what it all will need. Container planting for the deck or patio? Let's get it right the first time and pick the right plant for the area!

He did an excellent job. He just did an excellent job. He was very easy to work with, very cooperative, and very knowledgeable in what he did. The cost was reasonable for what he did for us. I referred him to my daughter and she's using him now.

Brian took his time to really understand my needs and wants, and provide some great suggestions that were within my ideal budget. He showed up on time, and worked hard. Overall great experience.

Brian was the consummate professional, working diligently and efficiently in extremely hot weather. He replaced the old landscaping surrounding our pool with big blue lirope and then mulched it with mini pine bark. Our pool area now looks very neat and tidy. My wife was not that enthusiastic about spending a lot of money on landscaping, but now she raves about how much nicer our pool area looks. Thanks Brian

This is the third time I have used Brian and he is the consummate professional.  He shows up, works quietly without interruption, and cleans up his work area to perfection.  His prices are in-line and reasonable for the work he does.  I cannot recommend him highly enough.  His work ethic is unquestionably superb.

Brian did a great job on this project, has a great attitude, seems to really care about doing things the right way.  He's also very knowledgeable and provided some excellent advise on maintaining some plants in my landscape.  Will be using him again soon on another project.

The project went very well. Eveything was on time, on budget and well done. Brian knows his plants and I could not be happier with the results. The front yard looks beautiful and I look forward to caring for the new lanscape and seeing it mature over the years. If you believe in getting things done right, then Brian is your guy. He is knowledgable, thorough and is a expert in his field of landscaping.

Brian provided fresh healthy plants in an appealing landscape design.

He was able to find a way to hide the unfinished appearance of the patio edges.

Work was done in a timely manner and to our satisfaction

We recently had a very large live oak removed and were obligated by the city of Winter Park to replace it with two 3" caliper trees from a specific list of species. Brian stopped by and gave us the pros and cons of everything on list, his expertise on where to plant and a very reasonable quote. We scheduled service the following week and Brian came on time, waited out a significant rain storm and planted & supported to gorgeous live oak trees. We could not be happier with both the trees and service provided.

I cannot recommend Brian enough... he was really great to work with and very knowledgable and detailed in everything he did.
He was able to pick the right type of plants for us and offer us the pros and cons for everything we requested. I am very happy with how everything turned out. 
He also was very professional and on time and stayed late the last day in spite of rain to finish the job. I cannot wait to hire Brian again when we have more work to do. He also provides a 1 year warranty on his plants which is great.

It is always a pleasure to work with a true professional, and Brian fits the bill. I always particularly appreciate when the owner does all of the work because he has a vested interest in the success of the outcome.  We had an idea what we wanted to redo in the front and back of our house, but didn't really know how or where to begin.  Brian gave excellent suggestions, mapped it all out for us with very detailed descriptions and also pictures.  He did not hesitate to recommend someone else for the retaining wall in the back that we needed, and we did use that company.  (As an aside we were extremely pleased with that company also.)  It is always distressing when someone says that they can do something just to get your business, and honesty in acknowledging that a particular task is beyond the scope of what a supplier can do is extremely valuable to me.  I was never left hanging wondering if Brian would either get back to me or show up.  He was very willing to meet with us several times until  we understood exactly what was going to be done, and he was more than receptive to changes that we wanted to make.  He is easily reachable by email, text, or phone and responds as promptly as possible given that he is out working all day.  I was particularly impressed when he told me that he had saved us $100 on one of the types of plant due to the size of the pot versus the size of the plant.  He could have not said anything and just kept the difference.  As it turns out, we decided to do something additional and it was still about $40 under the original price.  We plant to have him do the second phase of our re-landscaping project next year and also to have him out twice a year to fertilize our new and existing plants. We are quite particular about spending our very hard-earned money, and are 100% satisfied that it was well spent using Brian Ware Landscaping.

Brian Ware did some relatively basic landscaping work for us, but he did it cheerfully. He was very willing to discuss everything for a long time and was always friendly. The work was done efficiently. He takes care of buying the plants himself and takes the extra time to get the best of what's available at the nurseries of the area. Overall, I appreciate the fair price for the work done and the work ethic of doing whatever is necessary to make my wife and I happy.

I wish I had thought to take before and after pictures to show the complete transformation that Brian did to our yard.  It is now just beautiful.  He came over and looked over the area (two beds) in our front yard and then emailed me his design and the plants he wanted to use.  I let him know that there were a couple that I didn't care for and he researched some different plants and then sent me a revised plan with pictures of the plants.  I gave him my blessing and he started on a Tuesday and finished up on Wednesday.  We have received lots of compliments from our neighbors on our landscaping - all raving about how lovely it looks.  So once again, thank you Brian for an amazing job!

Brian arrived on time and spent about an hour discussing options for my yard.  He also made sketches of possible solutions and was very professional and helpful.

He did a good job. He was very good about giving us more native plants. He knows what he's doing. He has a very good knowledge Florida native plants and things that you can put in that don't require a lot of maintenance.

We had just finished building a large pool complex and outdoor kitchen in our backyard (half an acre).  We contacted 3 landscapers for estimates on what they would plan.  Brian came in the middle of the other two, but with a far superior design.  Some of the plants were not familiar to us.  I had no idea what a cardboard palm was. So, he went with us to the nursery to show us the plants to make sure we liked them.  By the time he was finished, the backyard oasis that we were hoping for was a reality.  Over the years, he has periodically returned to maintain the appearance.  On a couple of occasions, a plant did not perform as expected.  He immediately replaced it no questions asked.  He understood what we wanted and were trying to achieve and delivered the dream.  You can't ask for more.  People have come to our home and commented very positively about how we have no need to go to a resort because we have it in our backyard.  That is thanks to Brian.
