From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They meticulously planned every detail, incorporating a diverse array of plants and hardscaping elements that perfectly complemented the architecture of my home. Their attention to detail was unparalleled, ensuring that every flower bed, pathway, and outdoor living space was not only visually stunning but also functional and sustainable. The result is breathtaking, a harmonious blend of colors and textures that has turned my yard into a haven of tranquility and beauty. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and I highly recommend this landscaping company to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space to new heights. **★★★★★ — Michael Friedman, Dec. 2023** > We could not be happier with the results of the beautiful landscaping done by Zito Landscaping. > We are very pleased with everything from the work done, as well as the reasonableness of the quote, and your work ethics. We'll continue to refer you to all of our friends who request landscaping done. > Excellent customer service, attention to detail, extremely pleasant to work with & very trustworthy. Looking forward to working with Chris and John for many more years. **★★★★★ — HU-898638646, Aug. 2023** > HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! > > Chris and his team have impeccable attention to detail. The knowledge and expertise that Zito displays through his work is unmatched. Zito did the entire front and back of the house and executed extremely quick. If I was able to give a 10 star review I would, because Chris and his team go above and beyond to make sure every little detail is exactly how you want it! **★★★★★ — Ana Gabriela Paez, Feb. 2023** > Beautiful design, great and fast execution. Chris took the time to understand what we wanted and to select high quality plants. His crew did an extraordinary work! **★★★★★ — Shawn Carroll, Feb. 2023** > Chris and his team were able to execute and design a vision I had seamlessly. I had been envisioning my garden space for close to a year, and wasn't able to find a company that I trusted to do the job. Chris and his team were responsive and timely. I am truly happy with the final result and am appreciative of their input before, during, and once the project was completed. They were open to feedback whenever provided. > Although the project was relatively small, Chris understood that design would make a huge impact on the space and stressed to me that every project , regardless of size, would benefit from top design choices. > I hope to continue working with the team soon as there is always more to do in any garden space. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a professional landscape and design team! **★★★★★ — HU-296692492, Nov. 2022** > Thank you Chris, > Working with you and your dynamic, “organic” approach to landscaping was such a wonderful experience. The open give-and-take regarding our initial ideas for property beautification, enhanced by your special design insights and expertise, made possible a new hybrid vision that met our expectations and the desired effects that we had hoped to attain. Maintaining the best of our already existing plants and features, your vision for enhancing these foundational elements with a palette of landscape additions and improvements helped us to achieve a truly moving artistic composition for us and all who are fortunate to view it. At night, the added lighting lifts what is already special to even more spectacular heights. Thank you for our property’s exciting rejuvenation. We look forward to seeing our Live 3D Mural evolve over the coming years of growth, natural maturity, and beauty. > We would highly recommend YOU and Zito Landscape Design. > Thank You! > Leslie and Jeff **★★★★★ — KC B, Jan. 2022** > We are very pleased with our landscaping. Zito was very attentive to our wants and needs - color with very low maintenance, ambient lighting, and kid-resistant plants around the pool. From concept to design, implementation and completion, the team was professional, educated and well versed in plant material for South Florida, as well as hardscape materials and lighting. Our yard is always full of color, and receives many compliments. The plants have established and filled in well. Zito replaced any plants that were not thriving, and we now have a yard that is beautiful year-round with very low maintenance. Zito Landscape Design is a top-notch company, I would use them for any future projects, and highly recommend. **Comment from Zito Landscape Design, Inc.:** > Thank you, KC! It was a true pleasure working with you. -John & Chris **★★★★★ — Nancy Amato, Dec. 2021** > WOW! Amazing company to work with and incredibly professional. Chris and his father John are very hands on throughout the project and they have best in class work crew. We are blown away by how quickly the work was completed as well as the care, follow up, and attention to detail given by Zito Landscape Design. We just completed Phase I which was the major landscaping to our yard inclusive of lighting and irrigation system. We are about to embark on Phase II with them which will be the hardscaping work and additional landscaping add on's. Cannot wait to start on Phase II and see our yard come to completion. I would highly recommend Zito Landscape Design to anyone as best in class for South Florida! > > Pictures coming soon soonest Phase II is completed **Comment from Zito Landscape Design, Inc.:** > Thank you, Nancy! We thought your yard came out beautiful as well. It was a pleasure working with you. -John **★★★★★ — Claudia K, Oct. 2021** > I can't say enough good things about Zito Landscape Design. They are experts at design, coming up with great ideas and working with you to refine them. Our project was multi-faceted with pool, deck, paver, irrigation and electrical work, and they were very patient and accommodating. Chris Zito is great to work with - he's helps you understand the landscaping decisions, addressing any and all issues. The plant installation went smoothly, and the crew was super professional, careful and tidy. The results of our patio transformation are spectacular - beyond our expectations. Highly recommend. Thanks Chris and the entire Zito team! **Comment from Zito Landscape Design, Inc.:** > Thank you, Claudia. We loved working with you to bring your dreams to life! We hope everything is growing in beautifully. - Chris and John **★★★★★ — Zachary Elliott, April 2021** > Zito Landscape Design helped us transform our newly purchased property in Boca Raton. The design process was great, Chris and Akiko gave us plenty of options, while allowing us to specify any particulars we wanted. Their crew cleaned our all of our old landscaping and then revisited the plans so that we made sure they still made sense. Their crew did a fantastic job of not only showing up early and working late, but making sure that the entire worksite was completely clean after each day. The results are amazing and we love our beautiful new landscaping. **Comment from Zito Landscape Design, Inc.:** > Thank you, Zachary. We truly appreciate the kind compliments. It matters greatly to our family run business! **★★★★★ — HU-521509266, April 2021** > We don't have much experience in landscape design but I'm afraid Zito has ruined our chances of ever turning to anyone else for future projects; these guys are the real deal. We needed ideas, guidance, creativity on a budget friendly concept - they brought that, and then some. Couldn't be happier with the way our garden turned out and we're looking forward to working with them again. > > I think the reviews speak for themselves, if you've gotten this far give them a call. You likely will not regret it. **Comment from Zito Landscape Design, Inc.:** > Thank you. It was a pleasure working together. We only want the best outcomes for our customers! Thank you for trusting Zito Landscape Design. **★★★★★ — J P, March 2021** > Outstanding work and detail working with Chris and John on a zen garden design for my front and back yard. At first I was slightly intimated calling this company because their past work has been on large properties. I have a smaller front and back yard. However, I was given the red carpet treatment with a lot of attention and detail to the concept of my design. Chris and his team did a great job translating concept to reality and the outcome were breathtaking views of a peaceful zen environment surrounding the outside parameter of my home. Huge transformation! Truly talented professionals and easy to work with. They treat you like family. I definitely recommend Zito Landscape and Design and love this locally owned family business. **Comment from Zito Landscape Design, Inc.:** > We loved bringing your Zen garden to life. Thank you for such a bright and positive review of our work! ## Selected projects - [Mid Century Modern Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-home-pj-vj~6107376) - Location: Cooper City, FL - Photos: 23 - Description: Mid Century Modern landscape design features custom stone patio and pergola. - [Tuscan Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tuscan-farmhouse-pj-vj~6095783) - Location: Southwest Ranches, FL - Photos: 14 - [Miami Escape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miami-escape-pj-vj~5245667) - Location: Miami, FL - Photos: 10 - [Fort Lauderdale, Florida](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fort-lauderdale-florida-pj-vj~4209959) - Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL - Photos: 29 - Description: At Zito Landscape Design, we pride ourselves on pairing beautiful landscape designs with flawless execution and peerless customer service.
