Report
I had a dead magnolia, which had been transplanted by another company a few months ago, replaced by a large Canary Island date palm and a mature triple European fan palm. The results are fabulous. Even though the trees were expensive due to the varieties and sizes I got, I think they increased the look and feel of my property ten fold their cost. I have had many neighbors comment on how great they look and my normally unobservant spouse even comments on how much he likes them. Madeline in the office was a joy to deal with.
She made sure I had the proper license and insurance information to submit to my HOA. The installation was completed less than a week from the time I informed them of HOA approval. The work was done quickly and professionally. They re-did the irrigation emitters to ensure the trees get enough water. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

I highly recommend using Blue Sky Landscaping & Nursery for your landscaping needs. I recently purchased a new home and wanted to enhance my yard to make it even more beautiful. I met with Claudio, the owner of the company, who went out of his way to provide guidance in order to achieve my vision. Not only did he help me pick out the right palms, but he also made sure that I was happy with the results. You can see from the photos that my yard looks amazing and I owe it all to Claudio. Thank you for making my experience a rewarding one and I look forward to using your services in the future.

Blue Sky removed our Wax Myrtles and planted Areca Palms. We agreed to purchase on a Thursday, the work started on Monday, and finished at noon on Tuesday. Claudio was very professional, as were his three men. They cleaned up the area after the work was done, and a great impression of this company was made. This is not your normal Florida experience. We will certainly hire them again, and highly recommend them based on our experience.

Claudio and his guys did an outstanding job on our yard. They were able to provide gorgeous palms as well as procure the best specimens of Silver Saw Palmetto, which is rare. Normally they are either green in color or slightly silver but he found plants that were truly silver through and through. His team cleaned and swept our yard and the street at the end of each work day with a pride of workmanship not often seen in this industry.
Our neighbors commented how hard his team worked. We had him repair and add to our sprinkler system to protect our landscape investment. His prices were very reasonable especially considering his plant material is unparalleled. I would recommend him to anyone looking to up the beauty of their yard.

My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with BlueSky Landscaping & Nursery. We met with Claudio and he helped us pick out a beautiful Sylvester palm. Claudio himself and some of his workers delivered the palm, planted it and gave us personalized watering instructions along with a fertilizing schedule. I highly recommend BlueSky to anyone shopping for landscape plants and trees.
