Ben and his crew just finished rehabbing my front yard which was a mess. They removed all of the existing landscaping replanted and sodded everything. Looks great. Highly recommend Tropic Greenery

We recently purchased a home here in Brevard County where the existing landscaping was in terrible shape and not at all to our liking. After meeting and obtaining quotes from a number of different landscaping companies we chose Tropic Greenery. When we first met with Ben his professionalism and sincerity were quite evident and he provided us with a reasonable and realistic quote that we felt comfortable with.
We were impressed with his caring attitude, knowledge and experience. He was able to incorporate our ideas along with his great suggestions to come up with an excellent plan. The great renditions he then provided allowed us to quickly obtain approval from our HOA. From demolition to completion his team implemented the design flawlessly. When unforeseen issues were encountered along the way they were addressed and taken care of in a prompt fashion. His employees were highly responsive and professional as well. There was great communication from the initial visit to the final product. Truly a job well done. Highly recommend!

Tropic Greenery did a fantastic job with our backyard landscape project after our pool install. They were responsive, professional and great communication with scheduling and finishing our project. I would definitely recommend and use them for any projects in the future.

I called Tropic Greenery because I needed help! One week later Ben had a proposal to re-create my entire back yard. It went from dirt and weeds, to grass, mulch and a beautiful slate and rock pathway. All on the only hill in Melbourne. All the work, including grading the yard, trimming back trees and plants, putting in sod, creating an extensive mulch area plagued by shade and building the walkway was done in one week. Ben is super-nice and easy to work with. Sean (apologies if I misspelled!) was so hard working and thoughtful.
Everyone worked hard and never left a mess. They even provided me an easy system to make sure my grass is watered with very little effort on my part. I feel like I can call anytime with questions or issues about the project and any future projects. I could not be happier with the results and how professional they all were. Great experience!

I have been hiring them to do the landscaping maintenance for my resident. Working with them for the past two years was worth it. I would not hire any landscapers except Tropic Greenery. I absolutely trust them with their professionalism and excellent services.

A friend recommended this landscaping service provider to me. They just recently finished the installation and everything went perfectly well. No hassle at all. Plus they were able to come up with the design and layout that I want. Great job to all.
