Suttrich Landscape Services

Suttrich was a recommendation from friends who utilized them for new sod. I contacted them and they were quick to respond. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Everything was explained thoroughly and my follow up questions were promptly answered. The installation day was fast, efficient and well done. They cleaned up afterwards and so far the new sod is doing great! I highly recommend Suttrich Landscape Services.

Drew's knowledge of Florida landscape is impressive! His design for our property was exactly what we wanted, was within our budget and was installed quickly and cleanly. He was flexible with our big renovation, rescheduling at our request without hesitation! Drew was a pleasure to work with! He crew, Nick, Patrick, Jose and others were polite, respectful of our property, neighbors and cleaned up each day. They went beyond our expectations and we LOVE the final results!! Highly recommended!

I just had Suttrich Landscape do a complete landscape design and install for my entire yard and it came out beautiful. Drew was wonderful to work with from day 1. The design he created was exactly what i was looking for. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end.

I regret hiring Suttrich Landscaping. If you hire Suttrich, you will be responsible for supervising Drew's crew. If you're lucky, you'll catch things while they can be corrected. Drew hired unskilled craftsmen and laborers that needed constant supervision. (see image below of the steps) Unfortunately, the "debris" that is referenced in the contract to be removed turned out to be a 1930's cast iron sink, the base of a 10' cantilever umbrella, countless unique rusted iron farm equipment gears that would have found their way into ceramic sculpture. Laying sod is a basic skill for a landscaper. Well, not in my experience with Suttrich. The crew laid sod over gravel and landscape cloth (see image), which was indicated to be removed by the contract Drew and I signed. Much of that sod has not rooted. On October 9, they laid the sod. On October 16, I walked the front yard and contacted Drew because of the sizable highs and lows throughout the entire yard. He said he would take care of it. A job that was scheduled to last 3 weeks, took 3 months and still was not finished. On December 21, Drew and I were walking the front lawn at which time I pointed out that the lawn created a fall risk. "The crew was quick in laying the sod," said Drew. It was then I realized Drew knew all along the problems I reported a week after installation were legitimate. I terminated our working relationship that day. The sanding and sealing of the pavers, sanding and sealing the pergola posts, etc., still need to be done and were paid for. Drew was not able to execute his lily pond design (which was paid for). He concealed with black plastic sheeting the unstable soil supporting the bricks along the rim. The walls were caving in. The workmanship was nothing I could accept. I will have to pay for these things out of pocket or we will settle in court. (see images) Drew has a lot of very good reviews, but they are old. In the past year, he has had 4 reviews, one of which is a 1 star for being a no-show for an appointment. I paid over $76,000 for a job that should have received more attention. I'll always remember this as being a very stressful experience, one I wouldn't recommend to anyone else. IN RESPONSE TO DREW'S COMMENT: Working with you was like pushing a boulder up a hill. On December 21, I realized that YOU KNEW the sod was inadequately installed. I've had 3 lawn companies come to the site and they were astonished by what you left here. I mentioned it to you several times, you failed to act. Stonewalling your customer is wrong on so many levels. We just had a torrential downpour and the pergola is flooded. YOU were the one that suggested the pergola could redirect the flow of water to prevent this from happening. YOU were the one who suggested the lily pond design which was ill-conceived. A "trending" design you saw on Pinterest or on the pages of a magazine was something you had never previously attempted. You used MY project as PRACTICE. Anybody that would think it was a good idea to DRILL into cement rather than to create a design using space holders for the copper pipes, shows a lack of understanding of the materials they're working with. YOU were unable to accomplish your design. How exactly did you think anyone could maintain/service a lily pond with a planting bed surrounding the pond? Poor design. YOUR mishandling of the job created a situation that was untenable. Trying to save money by having your crew do aspects of the paver job left so much unfinished. On December 21 when I terminated our contract based on breach of contract, it was in response to your deceit in regard to the sod, the structural integrity of the pond, etc. ... all of which became known after a draft review was prepared. Simply put, YOU didn't have the management skills to successfully complete the job. The photos speak for themselves ... and this doesn't even touch half of it! Many of these things became apparent as I began to "live" with your design. The sod was laid over three months ago. I can peel up the sod with the toe of my foot!
