Premier Horticulture -

James Phillips

Bill is fantastic. Did a wonderful job completely redesigning our landscape, nearly an acre, in Pinecrest. Showed up when he said he would, took great care to make sure that the plants were thriving when he finished, and came back by several times to make sure everything was doing well and that we were happy with the outcome. Very competitive pricing as well. Much less than other designers we met with, most of whom just wanted to sell us plants. Real value for money.

I highly recommend Bill and suggest you just let him do his thing. He has a great eye for landscape design.

I highly recommend using Premier Horticulture for your landscaping for the following reasons:
1. Bill is a knowledgeable horticulturist, he knows what plants work in South Florida and what will be easy to maintain
2. He has a creative spirit and is artistic. The landscape he did for us was classy and fits with the house. It’s not just us who like his work, visitors to our house very commonly remark on how good the landscaping is and our neighbours have been very complementary
3. He always does what he says he’s going to do and is flexible. We remodeled our house and the landscaping was the easiest part as it turned out as required and agreed
4. He continues to support us as our landscape is growing. If you want to learn about your landscapes and plants he’s happy to explain. He has helped us with pruning, fertilizing, spraying as needed.

I've been working with Bill for the last few years and he's done wonders for my landscaping. He designed and installed a beautiful stone path where before we only had mud, since grass would never grow. He also installed some beautiful maintenance free plants. He does a beautiful job of maintaining the rest of my landscaping by providing quarterly spraying, fertilizing, and mulching. He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable, I recommend him highly!

My name is Diane Kyle, I'm the owner of Miami Twice Boutique and a long time customer of Bill McKinnon's Premier Horticulture. He does fantastic Landscaping Designs, just look at his website of all those before and after photos, you'll see what I mean.

I had been through several landscapers and wasn't happy at all with the way the yard looked, then I decided to give Bill a shot at improving things and Wow! What a difference someone with some education can make.
Unlike all the others I tried, Bill is not winging it, he "knows" exactly what he is doing and has over 30 years of experience to go with his Landscape Development education. The other important quality he has over the rest is he has really good taste, everything he installs just looks right and his experience assures that whatever he plants will still look great after it grows in, his spacing of planes is perfect, so nothing needs to be redone after a few years.
You save a lot of money by not ever needing to move or redo landscaping and professional landscapers should be able to get it right the first time, and he does.
What he provides is exactly what I was looking for, he can do everything a landscape needs to look fantastic. Great designs and then the all important follow up service that is necessary to keep everything looking great and actually improving as time goes by.
This summer will mark 20 years he has been maintaining my landscape.
He and his crew have been here to keep it all looking wonderful and I have never been disappointed. That's a long time and I have a big place, this landscape includes two ponds and waterfalls as well as one of the finest looking landscaped yards in Miami. That's what everyone that see's it says and of course agree, it's simply outstanding.

If you look at his website, my home is the one with with the water features and large deck. The landscape he has designed here is my favorite part of my home, it's like coming home to a natural sanctuary every day, with the privacy I like and so many interesting things to look at. This landscape is one of a kind, designed by a true artist and he backs that up with his vast knowledge of horticulture that is so needed in Miami landscapes to keep them healthy and growing, I have my own showplace to wake up to, every morning.

If you are serious about finely getting a beautiful yard, you need to get the best people you can and I know you will thrilled with one of Bill's designs.
If you can also hire him to do the follow up landscaping service, about three times a year, that includes fertilizing, trimming, mulching and pest control, then you are guaranteed to have a that perfect looking sanctuary just like mine (almost). All you need is someone to cut your grass every week and leave everything else up to Bill and his fantastic crew.
That is the perfect recipe for success in your landscape.
It's been 20 years now, and he still has my place looking fantastic and it impresses me every time I walk around my garden.
Give him a call, you'll be glad you did.

I'm a realtor in the South Miami and Pinecrest area. Bill is my go to guy when recommending and using a landscaper in my area. I need a beautiful, professional job that will make me look good with my real estate customers and Bill does not disappoint. I've known Bill for years and his designs have a great sense of style that will look even better as they grow in. He knows how to plan and plant for the future. Your landscape will look great long after the check has cleared, which is even more important than how it looks on the first few weeks. Every job looks like a tropical Hawaiian resort to me-amazing! Bill always picks out good looking healthy plants and use some incredible specimens that are real show stoppers for the focal points. He loves to go the extra mile and throw in some unexpected extras without charge just to make you extra happy with your yard! You should also keep him onboard for occasional scheduled maintenance so that your job always looks as good or better than the day it was installed. Lastly, Bill is probably the most intelligent and honest landscaper you are likely to come across in Miami-Dade county. He knows his stuff and you will be delighted that you are able to have an intelligent conversation about your ideas and concerns that won't leave you frustrated. Five Stars!

I have known Bill for many years and I've always enjoyed seeing his beautiful landscaping in Miami, via email, of his many jobs over the years. I told him one day I would love to hire him to do a complete landscape makeover at my townhouse in Kendall, Florida. Alas, the day arrived and I gave him complete creative license to do whatever he wanted and knew it would be gorgeous and low maintenance landscaping, as he knows I'm not very good with plants. He finished in time for Christmas and it knocked my socks off!!! I still can't believe it's my house when I get home every day! The beautiful mix of flowers in the landscape design, against all the greenery is incredible. My family and friends love it and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging outside over the holiday weekend surrounded by beauty, instead of the ugly mess it used to be. I highly recommend him and letting him create his vision for your property. You won't be disappointed! Call soon though, because he's busy.

Bill was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. We needed someone to come in and install landscaping that is appropriate for our home (design, sun & shady areas, etc.) We gave him ideas as to what we wanted and then let him take control as to what plants to use. We are very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend his company.

Bill recently did a complete makeover on my property. My yard literally had nothing but rocks and dirt in it. Bill and his team transformed this barren landscape into a tropical oasis with a multitude of trees and plants, as well as two separate patio area's nestled amid the foliage. His design experience is the key to his expertise, with an emphasis on proper spacing, functionality, and color. His designs are scalable in that his selections in plants and trees are based on long-term results. In other words, as good as it looks now, it will look even better in the coming years. His crew is dedicated to employing his vision and work relentlessly toward that end. They are an extremely hard working, polite, and steady crew. Bill himself, was onsite regularly to talk us through the process and educate me on the science behind the design. I highly recommend Bill and his Premier Horticulture team for landscape design and installation projects, large and small.
