After neighbors behind us re-routed their rain run off into our back yard we lost all of our grass and our yard became a standing water pond. Ralph Esposito came out and suggested a dry creek bed as our solution. It's wonderful. Problem is solved. The crew, especially T.J., were great to work with.Very friendly

Great quality and quantity of garden needs to satisfy! I went at Christmas to purchase live greenery for our church in Georgia. Located everything, thanks to helpful staff.
If you enjoy gardening, you'll be amazed at the variety of plants and interior decor.
Fun shopping!

Came to Espositos because I have for yrs. But today's trip was disappointing. Item i wanted was 199.00 but the same exact item was 139.00 at Tallahassee Nurseries and in much better shape. And the store itself has become just to much of an uncontrollable mess. Thanks Tallahassee Nurseries.

I hired Mr. Ralph Esposito of Esposito Garden Center on September 20th, 2023 to build a very large retaining wall and install proper drainage in my backyard, which is slanted on a hill and some of it around a pool. My existing wooden wall had collapsed after an especially strong storm. I hired Esposito because of its reputation as a trusted company and the detailed plan that Ralph Esposito designed for the project. Because of its magnitude, it was very expensive. I paid Esposito over $60K and my contractor to install a gutter in my neighbor’s yard to help with drainage. Esposito worked on building the wall until late December 2023. At the beginning of 2024, after another serious storm, I was back where I began, with a dark dirty pool and unsolved drainage problems.
I hired a construction attorney to help mediate. I tried so many times to reach Ralph, who had been so gracious during the project, so large and complex that Esposito’s CEO Ms. Mary Kelly visited the site as it was being built. All that good vibe and will went away and my repeated requests for true completion of the job as per contract were met with band aid shotty work that not only structurally but also as far as optics left much to be desired from what one would expect a company like Esposito to submit as their final product. I wrote many emails, left messages in Ralph and his assistant’s mailboxes, and with my best and hopeful attitude asked for the project to be completed well as per contract repeatedly via my attorney, who managed to have only one call with Ralph in the months he spent mediating with his assistant. In July of 2024, my attorney finally submitted a formal Notice of Breach of Contract that gave Esposito one month to complete the work and submit all relevant materials to the project. My attorney and I never received even an acknowledgement of the formal Notice and the deadline passed without any action on Esposito’s part. They didn’t even have the courtesy of responding to my attorney, who clearly explained that I did not want to go to court but for them to complete the work promised in the contract. Ralph’s assistant was left with this job, at least indirectly acknowledging to my attorney that there were legitimate problems with the job that needed to be addressed. Cutting corners became their way of fixing them, and I eventually hired my contractor to complete the Esposito job to the tune of 20K. The final numbers for this project, including contractor and attorney fees, are dizzying.
There is no way that I could have done more to bridge the communication gap myself. Esposito ignored both me and my attorney, showing up twice for half an hour to not fix the problems mentioned in my attorney’s many communications. The workers sent to my property (I was home both times) did not have a clue about what they were doing or about the project as a whole. They were bandage workers sent to show that they were doing something, even though nothing to address requests for proper completion in our many communications. My attorney’s formal Notice of Breach of Contract was simply brushed aside and not taken seriously.
What I wanted from Esposito was good communication and results, none of which I got even after hiring an attorney to mediate. I am publishing this review online and on the Better Business Bureau site so that potential future customers know about my terrible experience when considering hiring Esposito for drainage work in their properties. Negative reviews like this one call for the respective business to respond and attempt to minimize the stain on their reputation. That ship has sailed. There is nothing Esposito can say to me now after more than a year of good will attempts to communicate and resolve an issue that only required good will and professionalism on their part. Reputations are maintained by proof of respect for customers, good works, and genuine attempts to respond to customer needs and grievances. A massive project like the one I embarked with Esposi

Brought my riding lawn mower in for service. David M. quickly diagnosed my issue as a bad battery and installed the new one that I purchased. Took only 15 minutes. Great service!!!

I love to walk through the garden center to enjoy the beautiful flowers and trees. On my recent visit, I travelled to Tallahassee via air. Therefore , my visit was strictly for a visual beauty stroll.
