Village Palms Nursery and Landscaping

Please be aware! This landscaping firm is over priced and does not register or check permits nor do they honor the standards put forth by deed restrictions in The Villages. The Village Palms was contracted to remove plants, shrubbery and bark from my elderly parents landscape, then re-​landscape with new shrubs and rocks.
The removal and labor went fine, but Village Palms made a grave error. The firm did not file permits with The Villages landscape committee before doing the work. Ultimately the filing of permits is the home owners responsibility, but for a job this big, all reputable landscape firms file the permits as a courtesy to the homeowner.
They also failed to comply with deed restrictions after The Villages Architectural Board made The Village Palms aware of the standards. Again, being in compliance is the home owners responsibility, but all reputable firms comply as a courtesy to homeowners and honest landscape firms comply because it’s simply THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
During all of this, my father was caring for my mom who was dying of cancer. Village Palms took advantage of my dad since he was distracted by things like taking my mom to chemotherapy, wheeling my mom to the toilet, cooking and cleaning up after a dying wife.
Village Palms went so far as to lay the incorrect color rocks and then talk my dad into agreeing to leave ½ of the landscape with the WRONG rocks. My dad was so focused on keeping my mom alive that Village Palms got out of fixing their error.
Now the landscape looks terrible. It’s just plain ugly, mismatched, rocks are falling out the flower beds into the grass, the flower beds are not in compliance and the Villages Architectural Board is threatening to fine my dad.
Now Village Palms will not mitigate their shoddy work without charge because they were not contracted to keep the landscape in compliance. Though this is true, an honest business would have honored the deed restrictions in the first place OR would fix the work without charge.
Why did I give this company 1 star? Because Unilocal won’t allow me to leave a ZERO star review.
