I'm so happy because Steve really brought my vision to life and more!! He and his team did a great job in a timely manner and were very professional! Steve went through the estimate and made sure we were happy with everything and then was available to answer any questions there after. > Our backyard looks amazing and we're so happy we found Steve on Houzz. Definitely will recommend using them!! ### All 49 reviews **★★★★★ — Ana M, June 2026** > We worked with Steve Blaum for landscape design, installation, irrigation, and lighting and he completely transformed our yard! He is incredibly knowledgable about plants, listened to what we wanted, completed all the work on time and made everything look so much better than we imagined. His entire team was great to work with. We highly recommend Steve! **Comment from Landscaping by Steve Blaum:** > Thank you for you're kind words. It's been a pleasure working with you. We look forward working with you for many years to come. **★★★★★ — catherine, June 2026** > I purchased my house a year ago and while the inside was tastefully renovated, the driveway and entrance left much to be desired with zero curb appeal. There was never a “home sweet home” feel when I pulled in the driveway. The project was on the top of my list, but I didn’t feel confident that any of the proposals I received would really transform my space. Since this is a substantial investment, I wanted to be sure I got it right. Steve Blaum brought my friend’s front yard back to life, and I ultimately trusted his vision to create a warm and inviting landscape for my front yard. To say I’ve been blown away by the transformation is an understatement. While this project wasn’t cheap, I believe I got what I paid for- thoughtful design, quality work, and a follow through I haven’t seen much in Miami. He was upfront about budget and even with some additional expenses, he was able to keep the project slightly under budget. > My once, stark white box of a home is now softened with beautiful natives bursting with color and life. I couldn’t imagine a better design. My neighbors are constantly telling me how beautiful my house looks, especially at night with the new landscape lighting! If you are looking to elevate your landscape and design, I cannot recommend Landscaping by Steve Blaum highly enough! **Comment from Landscaping by Steve Blaum:** > Catherine, > Thank you for your kind words. We are always encouraged and appreciate when we have completed the landscaping to your enjoyment and satisfaction. We truly enjoy our work and are excited to continue to serve you. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Forbes, May 2026** > Steve and his incredible team completely transformed both our front and backyards, and the results are beyond anything we could have imagined. From day one, Steve truly understood our vision and handled everything from the initial landscape design to the irrigation and outdoor lighting. He seamlessly incorporated beautiful native Florida species that brought the whole property to life. The new layout is incredibly enjoyable and relaxing—it literally feels like we are living at our own private resort! The service was top-notch, professional, and flawless from start to finish. Steve didn't just renovate our yard; he created an absolute masterpiece. We highly recommend them **Comment from Landscaping by Steve Blaum:** > Thank You so much for you're kind words Jennifer. > I'm happy we were able to fulfill your vision. and expectations . It Always brings great joy in my heart when we can make people happy. **★★★★★ — Sophie C, Feb. 2026** > Steve transformed both our backyard and front yard, and the results are incredible. The backyard looks magical—it feels like we’re on vacation every day—and the front of the house looks like a completely different home now.

We’re beyond happy with the results and highly recommend!!! 5 stars!!! **Comment from Landscaping by Steve Blaum:** > Thank you Sophie, > It's been a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Lauren Liebler, Dec. 2025** > Steve Blaum recently transformed both the front and back of my home with the most beautiful landscaping, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

His entire team is very knowledgeable and skilled at what they do. > > Steve really understands what plants and trees thrive in the area, and he carefully selected varieties that not only look stunning but will last.

I wish I had known him sooner!! He did a great job on all projects and also imparted some suggestions about areas that had already been done. His crew was very prompt, friendly and hardworking. I highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — Bob Campbell, March 2025** > My wife & I have used Steve Blaum for over a decade for new landscaping and all aspects of maintaining our trees, plants, yard, sprinkler system & outside lighting. We have been extremely pleased with his service and responsiveness and appreciate that we only need one service provider for our landscaping & yard. Also, we have recommended Steve to our friends. Bob & Denny Campbell of Coral Gables, Florida **★★★★★ — andymerritt11, March 2025** > We had such an amazing experience with Steve and his team working on our landscaping project. They are hardworking professionals and delivered exactly what they promised. We highly recommend working with Steve, he has an incredible vision and will exceed your expectations. **★★★★★ — J P, March 2025** > My husband and I hired Steve and his team to completely redo the landscaping in our new home. He always responds to questions and requests in a prompt manner and regularly checks all of our plants to make sure they are doing well. We get SO many compliments on our beautiful landscaping that I refer people to him all the time! **★★★★★ — Michael Anastassiou, Jan. 2025** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve, and the transformation of my front and back yards was extraordinary. From the first consultation, Steve listened to my thoughts and ideas, and then proposed a design plan that exceeded my initial vision. > > The execution was flawless, and coming home is like entering a different world. There are a variety of native plants with different colors and scents – the jasmine will be fragrant to any guest or neighbor walking by. I also partnered with Steve’s primary hardscape contractor to re-design the driveway and backyard patios. The design and attention to detail were extraordinary, and blended the landscape seamlessly. > > Also, Steve was very communicative throughout the process, and ready to adjust plans to fit my budget and preferences without compromising on the final design. > > If you are looking for someone to transform your outdoor space, Steve is the go-to architect in Coral Gables.

He listens well to our ideas and incorporates native plants in his designs. We are very happy with the result and couldn't have done it without him. Next to that, his team is hardworking and helpful. They do the bimonthly maintenance for our garden, that way all the flowers bloom and all the plants look great because the right care is given. If I had to do it all over again, I would have hired him earlier so I could have started enjoying the garden earlier. **★★★★★ — allorente, Sept. 2024** > Steve Blaum did an amazing job transforming the landscaping and look of our house. He has a great eye and is extremely knowledgeable about plants/trees, especially those that thrive in Miami. My husband and I wanted a “Mediterranean” look and Steve made our vision a reality!! We couldn’t be more pleased with the way everything turned out. Steve is also dependable and has a great team working with him. Highly recommend Landscaping by Steve Blaum!!! **★★★★★ — klissas, July 2024** > Steve did a fabulous job with the overgrown jungle my property had turned into. He had a vision and was able to bring it to life from start to finish - overseeing the entire process - from cleanup, to design, to irrigation, to lighting, to sourcing and placing all of the plants, to replacing plants that went into shock (through no fault of his own). He and his team are top notch. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — paul athanas, March 2024** > We highly recommend Steve Blaum's landscaping services. He transformed our yard into a tropical paradise and coordinated outdoor lighting and irrigation. I love all the interesting plants he chose and his aesthetic plan for the yard—he is a true artist. I also value his commitment to overseeing his work after the plantings are done, not to mention that he is fun and easy to work with, as is his crew. **★★★★★ — cwabell, March 2024** > Simply put: Steve Blaum is the best. My husband and I reached out to Steve to help us bring an "English garden" vision to life with our new home build. We weren't sure what was possible (especially in our South Florida climate!) and were knee deep in the stresses of the build. From the very first day, he guided us along with his incredible knowledge, patient temperament, and unbelievably creative ideas. He showed us properties, brought examples, thoroughly explained the process - and above all else, he willingly navigated the sometimes very challenging City regulations. He - and his whole team! - were just incredible! And as for the finished product, there are no words! It's stunning and far exceeds our dreams! Daily, people comment on our landscaping - and truly, it makes the whole house sing. Thank you, Steve - there is no one better! **★★★★★ — cathcake, March 2024** > Steve did a beautiful design for our back yard, installed very healthy plants with nice details and worked with a tight schedule. His crew was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — liselore1974, Sept. 2023** > After our renovation of the house, the garden needed some work as well. We were happy with Steven from the beginning. He understood what we wanted and worked tirelessly to get to the best outcome. We are super happy with the result. The lighting, the new plants incorporated with the existing ones give us the relaxed tropical feeling we were hoping for. The other thing we truly value is that he delivers in the time frame he provides. His workforce are pleasant to work with. They are all friendly, responsible and work hard. They have the knowledge and do not cut corners. **★★★★★ — Sara James, Jan. 2023** > Steve is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend this company. I wish I would have done this earlier! **★★★★★ — HU-491654350, June 2022** > Our beautiful building was sorely in need of a landscaper to improve its appearance. A friend recommended Steve to us. We were so impressed with him upon first meeting and even more so when he revealed his plans for our Courtyard and building perimeter.

We couldn’t be happier. **Comment from Landscaping by Steve Blaum:** > Thank you very much, > It's been great working with you and Charles. **★★★★★ — daley55, Aug. 2021** > Not a day goes by that someone walking or driving past my house doesn't stop me and say how beautiful my yard looks! The only thing I can take credit for is having Steve Blaum design and care for it. Steve listens top his clients, really thinks about what is best for your yard and home. He and his teams are so nice to work with and very professional. They are all punctual and show up when they say they are but the best thing is coming home to a landscape that enhances my home. From experience, I know his pricing is fair and the installation is done beautifully to his specifications. > Dale Chapman Webb > Coral Gables, Fl. **★★★★★ — HU-26449148, July 2021** > We just used Steve Blaum to do the landscaping at our home. What a fabulous experience from start to finish! He is easy to work with and extremely responsive. He took all of our desires into account when creating the project. It looks amazing and we have had many passers-by stop us to admire it and ask for his information. Hire him! You will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — HU-204125627, April 2021** > Steve Blaum Landscaping not only enhanced our property, he transformed our home into a private oasis. He designed a custom plan specifically for our property that worked within our budget and timeline, and then provided excellent communication throughout the process. When it comes to landscape design and architecture, hardscape features and outdoor lighting, Steve Blaum has the experience and skill to make a home stand out. From initial design to execution and completion, we were more than satisfied with his work. “Landscaping by Steve Blaum,” really does create art in nature. **★★★★★ — Michelle, March 2021** > We appreciated Steve’s collaboration and expertise during the design planning phase, especially when it came to recommending appropriate plants for our space and light conditions.

I live on the water, so getting the correct plants that will thrive in that environment is very important. The crew is very efficient and tidy, which is greatly appreciated. **★★★★★ — Christine Quencer, Aug. 2018** > Steve is an incredible landscaper. He has creative ideas, fair pricing, and wonderful employees. I had noticed a couple of homes in our neighborhood that had unique landscaping designs and always looked really attractive. When I asked each homeowner who they used, they both highly recommended Steve Blaum. I am a relatively new customer, but in a short time our yard looks so improved and beautiful. He takes care of all the plantings, maintenance, sprinklers, and any spraying that needs to be done. So now I deal with only one person, not three. We are delighted to have Steve as our landscaper. **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Medici, Sept. 2017** > Steve took our tired, leggy, overgrown and haphazard backyard and turned it into an elegant, restrained yet lush tropical paradise. We gave him a general idea of what we wanted and what he created was much more than we envisioned. All of the subcontractors he used -- the lighting/irrigation company, the stonemason, the turf and lawn crews, the planting crew -- were hardworking, talented professionals. The few hitches we faced (all normal and unavoidable) were handled promptly and professionally. Perhaps 5 days after the job was done, we were hit by Hurricane Irma. Steve was just as worried about our new green friends as we were and he came right over to assess the damage (minimal). He went above and beyond the call of duty for us, and for that he gets our most heartfelt recommendation. **★★★★★ — matildecastro, April 2016** > Steve Blaum landscaping is professional, timely, thorough. Very happy with the result of my healthy and clean-looking landscaping. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — mrtnzcarla100, March 2016** > Steve Blaum not only has a great eye for design but can create long lasting landscape. He pays attention to detail and won't install anything that won't last. He's worth every penny! **★★★★★ — ola72484, Sept. 2015** > Steve transformed our front yard and patio from dull and boring to a beautiful tropical oasis. He was very flexible in working with our needs and custom requests. He is very knowledgeable and was helpful in answering all of our questions and addressing our concerns. He still comes by time to time to check up on us and make sure everything he planted is thriving. We love our new landscaping! Thank you Steve! **★★★★★ — Vamin26, Aug. 2015** > Landscaping by Steve Blaum is probably the only company i have come across that is super professional and reliable. We enjoyed working with Steve and his team every step of the way. He is on top of everything and very involved and makes sure things are right. I wasnt too familiar with all the names of plants therefore i trusted him and let him lead the way and couldnt have been more pleased! He is a perfectionist!! From plant detail, to placement, to size, to symmetry with your house- he really knows it all. We just finished up a turf project and honestly, it has been the best money ever spent. The quality if his turf is like no other, people walk by and ask if its real. Steve and his team are so knowledgeable so whatever he recommends, just go with it. He treats everyone’s home as if it were his own! Hire him, you won’t regret it, i promise!!! **★★★★★ — Bell Landscape Architecture Inc., May 2015** > I am a landscape architect practicing in Miami, Florida who has worked with Landscaping by Steve Blaum for over twenty years.
