Reviews
I’ll start off by saying my project was completed with 100% perfection. As for the bad reviews, I felt the pain to some degree. I did not experience a monetary issue but had an issue with a reasonable completion time. My two-week landscape project took over five-weeks to complete. Ed aka Lawrence spent three hours with me driving around Winter Park looking at impeccable landscape installations. Once we agreed upon style/design, the project began three days thereafter. Compensation was paid upon stage completions. We broke the project into 4 stages (landscape removal, drain installation, hardscape and plant installation). I was frustrated that the project took too long but I was 100% satisfied with the end results.
Lawrence’s crew accidentally broke 2 light fixtures. He had no problem with me hiring an outdoor lighting company to fix the repairs and deduct those charges from his final payment. We have a deer issue in our community and plant selection was very important. Approximately 21 plants were eaten by the neighborhood deer within the first 2 weeks of completion. Lawrence came back to our home and replaced the plants with plants that are considered deer tolerant at no additional cost.
If you decided to hire Lawrence, he is an expert in landscape design and installation but lacks time management skills. Would I hire his company again? Yes (Next time, I will impose monetary penalties if the project is not completed by an agreed upon completion date.

DON’T HIRE THIS GUYS. He is such as a lier. I hired last year to do our paver and landscape after he took over half of the money deposit . He never did his work and always exused about sickness or his truck broke. I had been texting and waiting for 3 months then I asked to refund my money . He refused to refund. He told me he will do his work but never showed up. I had to give up and hire different person to fisnish my project.
IF YOU WANT TO BE IN SECURE , MAKE YOU PAY BU CREDIT CARD OR DIBET CARD. So you can call the bank to get money back. I lost my money because I pay through my check.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.
I am sure he will respond this post that he did not do my project. I have all the paperwork that he wrote and his text messages. I will proof it if you in box me.
ONCE AGAIN STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUYS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE YOUR MONEY

I had the privilege of hiring Mr. Fosgate for a project that included plants, patio and a fence. Mr. Fosgate and his team worked diligently with us, took the time to explain his plans and ideas, and surpassed our expectations in what my yard could look like. He took a backyard of just sand a little hope, and turned it into a yard worth sharing. I applaud his professionalism and his natural keen sense of landscaping and would HIGHLY recommend him for any projects that you might be thinking of completing.

DO NOT do business with Ed Fosgate and his Orlando Landscapes company. My good friend gave this clown a 1/3 cash down deposit to do a paver job, after over a month and a dozen excuses later my buddy simply asked for a refund of his cash deposit. Ed Fosgate himself wrote him a worthless check that he currently can’t cash due to non sufficient funds. Don’t let his fancy facebook credentials and flashy website fool you. This guy is not a business man by any means of the imagination, he is however excellent at making creative excuses and taking peoples money without rendering any services. This man is full blown scam artist and crook. Do yourself a favor and hire someone else to do your job, save yourself the time, money and trouble of dealing with this joker. Please do yourself a favor read his other negative reviews on his Facebook and the Better Business Bureau. There are plenty of other excellent paver companies out there, that do a first class job this is NOT one of them.
