A planned landscape is far more appealing than one haphazardly thrown together. Whether it's a small portion or a full landscape, let Craig's Perfect Turf Landscaping, Inc. come up with a design i'm sure you'll be happy with. If the customer has any plants or ideas he/she would like to incorporate, we'd be glad to do so.
We specialize in renovating areas around homes that customers are dissatisfied with. Normally we are dealing with existing landscapes where it could use trimming, rip out of dead plants, removal of old stone or mulch, overgrown weeds, old borders or gut entire area. On renovations there are sometimes existing palms, trees or plants we can salvage and re-design remaining area and piece it back together for a new look.
It's main purpose is to separate your flower beds from your lawn, and keep the bedding material in place. It also makes mowing and edging easier by having a distinct line to follow with the weed eater and mower. Curbing makes your lawn maintenance safer by reducing the chances of flying debris out of the beds.
We can install a whole lawn or do a partial lawn replacement. The most common reason for a lawn replacement is infestation of chinch bugs, grubs, crab grass, Bermuda grass, or a drought. An irrigation check is performed before starting any sod removal to make sure proper coverage is there and for relocating sprinkler heads.

I've used Craig's services many times since 2014 when I moved here and have never been disappointed. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional (as is Jody) and they always have performed the work in a fast, efficient manner. I will continue to use them as they are the best.

Everyone was great. They came out listened to us and gave us their professional opinions and now we have a very beautiful landscaped yard. We still have more to do, so we have to have Craig come back and help us out again real soon.

I bought Podocarpus plants yesterday with the price of $11 per plant clearly marked on the buckets, but was charged $12 per plant. The cashier did not even bother to tell me the correct price before i paid for the plants. Today, I went back to get a refund of $1 per plant, but one of the workers, a middle age female, told me that they are $12 per plant without honoring the price on the plants. I don't mind paying $12 per plant
but the cashier should have explained the price difference before she charged me. The plants were clearly marked and the price should have been honored.
*update* Thank

Just a comment: I appreciate the owner's responses to the reviews. Sometimes we need that extra information. I think they are done just-the-facts -ma'am without rudeness.

MY PERFECT LANDSCAPER
October 2020
After quite a few years of ignoring a tired-looking front yard I decided to check into the landscapers in the area of Port Charlotte. One quite popular one being Craigs perfect Turf Landscaping. Upon arriving at their nursery and Gardens I found all kinds of ideas for updating my home. After a little consultation at the nursery and a further visit from Craig we very easily set the update plan. I was very happy with the service and help from the beginning to the end. Craigs professionalism and the work ethic of his crew certainly performed to my expectations

Plants didn't look well cared for. Half where knocked over, and been there like that for a while as they were growing up. The two employees that were there, a young lady and man, both were very friendly. But didn't know much about the plants. Priced are not bad on certain things. Over all won't be back.
EDIT to respond.
Unfortunately it isn't weeds that was the problem. Your cactus shelf is a total disaster. Half of them are rotten, and most of your plants are sad and dehydrated. I won't be back.

There is a fantastic selection of Tropical Plants to be grown in Florida. The outdoor garden expert that was on duty was extremely helpful. I will certainly go back to Craig's to buy my trees & bushes.
