Even though his work was good he did not follow up on things he said he would do. I sent e-mails and left voice mails but he never contacted me.

RJ and his team were absolutely great. I gave him an idea of what I wanted and much budget. He immediately drew up some plans right on the spot. RJ is extremely knowledgeable and completely responsible. Job was finished ahead of time and all of the neighbors loved the finished product. The team was great and even came on Saturday and Sunday to ensure the job was completed ahead of time. I would strongly recommend RJ and his team and will use them again without any hesitation.

Through ServiceMagic, RJ Howell contacted us by phone. We knew immediately that he was the guy to design and install our front yard landscaping project. RJ wasn't just a contractor, he was like our best friend. His professionalism was like no other! RJ came by our home on a Sunday, where he spent 3 1/2 hours with us...going over everything and answering all of our questions/concerns. His ideas were fantastic. RJ continued to stay in contact with us throughout the project. His crew arrived and were as friendly and professional as RJ himself. We could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was. We will definitely be using RJ again! Thx

If I could rate any lower I would. The quality of the plant was not good..most of them died. I called RJ and he came over to look..took some notes and aid he would replace dead plant and return in about 2 weeks..The two week and then some have gone by. I have called and called him alway to an anwering machine and never a call back!!! I paid almost two thousand dollar for landscaping work and the value for the money wasn't there. I also called servicemagic about this and they were suppoed to get back to me and they haven't contacted me either.o whats going on here!!! I would like an anwer to this ASAP Thank you Eliz

I give RJ 5 Stars just because 10 Stars is not a choice. If you want a makeover like you see on TV you need RJ. RJ Howell is the real deal. Me and my wife thought having a professional was not affordable and although RJ has done projects of 6 figures cost, he will work with you if you are on a budget. RJ and his crew are not cut, trim, blow guys, they are professional gardeners who really know botany and utilize plants, composition, lighting and hardscape to create art. HIs crew is equipped to overcome any emergency in the middle of a project. He ensures your project is made to last by utilizing prime products. We will do business again.

All of the workers were good and friendly. We ended up using them for more than just sod replacement and are pleased with the results.

Great advice, reliable and flexible; delivered exactly what was agreed upon and extremely professional attention to detail. I have received great compliments from my neighbors who have asked me for RJ's phone number. I will definitely continue to use RJ's services for the rest of my project. I am very pleased with the quality of their work and they cleaned up after themselves leaving a very professional appearance.

One of the most pleasant experiences we had this year was the opportunity to both find and work with R.J. Howell Landscaping. His firm is without doubt one of the premier landscapers in the Tampa Bay area. R. J. is not only professional and courteous in his approach, but has a unique talent for developing beautiful landscape designs. Our lawn and landscaping before R. J.'s arrival was extremely dull and lifeless and we were a little embarrassed as compared to our neighbors. After R.J. and his talented crew finished a new design for both the front and back yards, we are not only extremely pleased, but have become the envy of the neighbood!

We couldn't have been more pleased with RJ Howell Landscaping. They were very professional, showed up when they said they would (even called ahead), did a wonderful job, and didn't hesitate to come back if there were any problems. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends and neighbors.

Less than 60 days following the completion of my landscape project which included the installation of new sprinkler valves for over $500, the sprinklers quit working. RJ would not answer my calls, nor return my messages. I resorted to hiring another contractor who stated the valves looked 'ancient' and could not have been recently replaced. I expect a full refund of $600.00 for the work that was not performed.

RJ is a true artist. He met me at my property and I asked him to make a suggestion. He sketched a landsccape and when I saw it, I knew I wanted it installed. My house looks like it is setting in a park. The price was very reasonable and I would definately recommend him and use him again.

RJ Howell was very attentive to detail in both the planning process and the execution of the project. He was willing to spend as much time as needed in the planning process until every detail had been finalised. His team worked neatly and efficiently and each day left the work site in a clean and organised manner. The daily schedules of the work team were well coordinated to make the whole project a stress free experience. The end result of the work was outstanding and has received many compliments from neighbors, family and friends. RJ's choice of plantiings was great and provided a beautiful yet maintenance free landscape.
