WILCOX NURSERY AND LANDSCAPE

Ground cover is well established and beautiful.

Everyone was professional and prompt. They did a great job planting the palm. Customer service at the nursery was excellent and helpful. Very knowledgeable about the plants.

Great!! I love Wilcox Nursery!

Good. Although my friends laughed at me and said I should have planted it myself, I had a lot going on at the time and I opted for them to do it. Plus, the staff there were very knowledgeable when I first stopped in to find/purchase the tree. Rated the quality "N/A" only because tree was in its dormancy stage (think Charlie Brown Christmas Tree) when planted and I can't comment on its quality at this time; hopefully it will look like it's supposed to when fully bloomed. It would be nice for them to bring paperwork (type of tree, watering, etc) at the time of install for the owner to know what to do during its growth. Even though the gentleman verbally explained the watering process, this would be a nice touch. Just my opinion.

We decided to choose Wilcox Nursery because they "specialize in native landscapes with a natural and ecological emphasis." (this phrase from their website) We wanted to have plants that would be native to FL, attract birds and butterflies and be somewhat lower care once established. Paul Meyers designed the plan after viewing our property and talking to us about what we needed and how we wanted to use each area. We felt Paul did an excellent job of capturing what we were looking for. The final plan had a slightly reduced scope to keep the cost within our budget. Paul was sensitive to this and had good suggestions for how to achieve the same result on a reduced scale. The design included a 13 x 17 ft. paver area in the back yard that was installed by a company that works closely with Wilcox. (paid for separately) The back and side yards grass was removed. The grass was removed and the pavers were laid before the planting occurred on separate days. Pine straw mulch was used eventually as ground cover for these areas. Our entire landscape was transformed in one day. Most plants are small now but will fill in in time. All of the plants are doing well. The paver area is now a peaceful place for sitting and entertaining. The side yard plantings are concentrated opposite a dining room window so that we have something visually attractive when looking outside. One of the trees had an existing crack in a branch that wasn't noticed before it was planted. This was replaced without question. The crew that planted the landscape was excellent. They cleaned up the property when the job was completed. I even noticed that weeds had been removed in a side area and that old leaves and flower stalks on our bird of paradise in the front yard had been trimmed. The yard looked beautiful when everyone left. Zach and his team were great! We would recommend Wilcox Nursery without reservation. We were very pleased with their work and look forward to many years enjoying the new landscaping.

Both Zack and Mike are hard workers and did an excellent job. My thanks to both.

we initially did a $75 consultation with Paul (landscape designer) and Bruce (owner) to discuss existing plants and review my plant selections; they advised on what would work, what wouldn't, and made design suggestions - very helpful; once we decided to have Wilcox do the job, Paul was very patient, responsive, and professional in working with me when they either couldn't locate a plant that I wanted or I changed my mind about what I wanted; 2 installers were professional and productive, installing everything in less than 2 days; they'll be back next week when the drip irrigation is in place to finish mulching, etc.

I found a Florida native, drought tolerant plant at Wilcox recommended by the IFAS Florida-Friendly Program that I had been unable to locate at other nurseries.  I live an hour's drive away from Wilcox Nursery so I called in advance to see if they had this plant for sale.  The staff member knew their stock and told me I could purchase it there.  It was a pleasant experience and I enjoyed looking at the many Florida native plants they have available.  Most of these native plants are not sold at the big-box type nurseries or other plant sellers where many plants are sold that are not really any good for our Florida environment where the soil is - well, it is water wasting sand! 
     The plants were healthy and full and a reasonable price.  They are still going strong after a full year despite times of non-stop heavy rain alternating with months of drought here in Tampa Bay.  I am partially disabled and my plants have to be able to flourish on a bit of neglect! 
     The staff allowed me to wandered the aisles of fragrant plants but were helpful when asked.  Not all the plants are natives.
     I wish other local nurseries would have more native plants that will do well for many seasons despite our harsh, changeable weather, soil with a lack of nutrients or water holding capacity, and root-nibbling nematodes.  But until they do I will cross Tampa Bay to find what I need at Wilcox Nursery and Landscaping.

I have always been satisfied with their work and would recommend them.

We live in Largo.  If you cut down a tree in this town, you usually have to replace it.  Wilcox Nursery helped us pick out a couple of understory trees (Crape Myrtle and Black Ironwood) which are native to Florida, to replace the large oak tree we had to remove for safety reasons.  They were very helpful and gave us good instructions on planting and taking care of them.  I would not hesitate to call on them for help again, as they were very knowledgeable and patient.

I have been very pleased with their competency, kindness, and attention. We were looking to attract birds, bees, and butterflies with our landscape as well as reduce our maintaince and water costs. Not only his landscape plan meet all our goals, but Bruce's professional plan enhanced the look and value of my house. The front yard is growing in nicely and meets All my requirements. The back yard is shaping up to be the same. The nursery staff is very accommodating and knowledgable. Their stock hasn't failed us either. All the plants are vigorous and easy to grow. I'm a happy. It's always a pleasure to go shopping there.

What a fantastic, earth- conscious nursery!
