A & R Landscaping & Lighting Inc
About us
We love a challenge. Most people consider landscaping planting trees and shrubs in the ground, but we take it to a higher level. We will have you thinking about creating an outdoor room with a pergola/arbor overhead and a stone or brick patio to set the outdoor couch on. We will design a custom fire pit with a curved stone wall to sit on which also acts as a retaining wall for the custom fountain that sits behind it. We won’t forget about the front of the house because with our awesome weather in the greater Orlando Florida area, we love to custom design those outdoor spaces for you. We will even provide landscape lighting so after those long work days you will still be able to go outside and enjoy your newly renovated custom landscaping and maybe even install a spa to help out.

"Dear [Member Name Removed], This is not the experience we had with you back in January of 2017 when we installed your project. I can feel your frustration regarding the preexisting Torpedo grass. As discussed with you, torpedo grass is a hard weed to eradicate, especially since it was prevalent in your lawn before our project began. Unfortunately this is not a design issue but a maintenance issue as stated at the beginning pf your project. I hope you're still enjoying the patio spaces which was 85% of your project."
Repaired irrigation system, replaced controller, and including running new control line to one of the zones.
All done and cleaned up by 3:00 PM.
Great job, very professional crew.
The only negative I have to mention is that they are busy and it is hard to get on their schedule, but be diligent and the end result will be worth it!
All my globes melted! lights constantly burned out. Every time I would call for help Andy would send out a family helper that did bandaid work.
The lights and fixtures he recommended and I used were lifetime warranty but I was left with trying to deal direct with the company.
I am in Florida the company is in Ca. Fuses are constantly blown.
Truthfully one of the worst experiences I have ever had.
"Hey [member name removed], I find this review of our company and work that we completed at your home confusing. I have documented in your file us coming to your home 6 times after our installation to cover issues. The first time lights had blown due to a lightning strike. We replaced bulbs at no charge to you. The next time there where light bulbs out and some of the fixture globes had melted due to someone else replacing bulbs with 12volt bulbs, your system is a 24volt system. We still replaced the globes and bulbs at no charge to you. The only time that we charged you was after your year warranty was up. Our warranty never covered bulbs but we still replaced them at no charge to you. The Unique brand lighting system that is installed at your home is a high quality system. They still have a very good warranty and when we do have issues the cover them. We have installed hundreds of their 24volt systems and have great results. At the time we installed your project it was the best and most efficient system available. As technology advance so do we. We now install LED systems. We are able to retro fit existing systems with 'drop in' LEDs. The 24volt bulbs are available in a few stores close to your home. Florida Irrigation Supply and Light Bulbs Unlimited should be able to help. I have not heard from you in over a year and a half. If you would like to hear how your system can be retro fitted to LED please contact us."
When his crew arrived, they were just as he promised. Hard working guys, and all permanent employees who have worked for Andy a long time. Every worker did an extra step - like one worker fixed my daughters bike chain even though he was putting away his tools at the end of a very long day. They took care of details I didn't even know about - and with the trust that was built, it made for a very pleasant project.
Regarding the reviews that mention Andy is hard to get a hold of - I didn't have this experience. I found he was easy to reach and he was responsive. I know that he gives his workers a week or so off for the winter holidays and also, he is the sole designer, estimator, and project manager for the business. If I did find Andy was busy, or couldn't answer my immediate question, he always called back right away. If you find yourself waiting to get a hold of him - consider it well worth the wait. I prefer to work with the owner of a company, especially because it is his talent and passion that keeps the company in business. Working with Andy, I get the advantage of that level of landscape architecture talent and experience and I appreciate not having to deal with a sales guy.
I am so happy with my backyard (Phase 1) and I plan to use this company again and again in the future as our backyard is transformed.
Our very small back patio needed a facelift and a privacy fence installed. This company knows Florida and so the patio will now drain properly when it during downpours and the landscaping (plants) they installed are perfect for the area.
This is the first company I have worked with in many years that did what they said they would do and the results were exactly what I wanted.
I would definitely recommend them.
