Sunscape Nursery, Inc. - St. Petersburg, Florida

WOULD GIVE A 0/5 IF IT WERE AN OPTION.

Do not do business with Sunscape Nursery! I scheduled the delivery of two palms for Monday at 1PM. The time came and went without a call, and I had to to reach out them an hour later to find out that they had a “clerical error” that put me on the schedule for the next day. Tuesday came and the same thing happened. This time I called the office and they said that the delivery person was unavailable due to an “emergency job.” I was never notified once, and had to reach out to them every time. I took two days off of work to meet them at the house, and all I received was “we are very sorry.” Awful business practice. Tried supporting local, but I cannot recommend strongly enough against doing business with them. You are much better off dealing with Home Depot or Lowe’s. Never again.

In response to your comment below, I am more than happy to accommodate delays due to the hurricane, but that needs to be communicated. You never once reached out to me to communicate delays or updates, and as a result I had to call out two days in a row for no delivery. The second point of rescheduling on Wednesday is abjectly false. I spoke with both Nancy and Chase and can confirm that they were apologetic and admitted fault on both occasions. Would do you well to value other people’s time. Despicable that you would project blame on the hurricane to account for your poor business practices.

The folks there are wonderful. They helped me build my dream front yard and at a fantastic price. They even went above and beyond to find the plants I wanted and get them from the nurseries. They even came back to check on the palms a couple times to make sure they were healthy.

This spot is a GEM! Beautiful palms, fruit trees, and plants galore. I happened upon Sunscape after finally giving up on a Facebook marketplace seller who flaked on our meeting time for the third time. Sunscape couldn’t have been a more perfect find. Their property is a slice of paradise in the middle St. Pete. I’m big into lush beautiful landscaping, and I’ve been to numerous nurseries and wholesalers all around Tampa Bay...this place is awesome!
Upon arriving I was greeted by Michelle. I told her I wanted to look around and she wasn’t pushy, but gave me a quick overview of the property and let me know she’d be there to assist if I had any questions. After a few minutes of meandering around, I came back to Michelle with a few questions and to get some professional advice.
My girlfriend and I just had a new pool installed and we were looking to landscape the backyard and pool border with a nice, tropical vibe. I wasn’t planning on doing the full scope of the project all at once, but after discussing things with Michelle and showing her pictures of my backyard and the pool, we connected on a grand vision for the project. It was a legit meeting of the minds and I knew Sunscape was the spot to make this vision happen. Michelle walked property with me, broke down what palms and plants would work design-wise, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had some of the healthiest and best looking palms in town, at super reasonable prices. After an hour, we had it all laid out. I was stoked!
We hit the office and Steve (the owner), the young lad with glasses (sorry I forgot your name), Michelle, and I wrapped up the details and set the delivery and install for later that week.
Steve and his install crew arrived a few days later with a trailer full of palms, on time, and ready to go. They were quick to install the larger palms and place the rest so that my Dad and I could finish it up. They were helpful in answering questions, and cleaned up after they were done. I was thoroughly pleased and couldn’t have asked for more. Now we’ve got the outdoor speakers hooked up, Jimmy Buffett playing, and we’re enjoying a nice margarita poolside in our new tropical oasis 👌🏻
If you’re looking to upgrade your landscape, add some palms/trees, or just want to walk through a beautiful oasis in St. Pete for inspiration, definitely check these folks out. Thanks Sunscape!
PS- these pictures were taken right after we finished the project. I’ll post some updates mid summer after these babies are settled in and full.

Great place and prices are reasonable. Staff goes out of their way to help you. We didn't end up purchasing any plants this time but we will definitely be back.

This is my favorite place to visit the staff and owners are very pleasant and helpful in making your choices. Prices and quality are so much better than Home Depot or Lowe's. This place is a must stop and shop!

Steve and Michelle are very helpful, creative, full of ideas, and affordable. We are doing a major backyard renovation and not only that they suggest ideas, but they brought the trees out, planted them, and helped us with accessory planting. They have a huge selection, the plants are all healthy, and better prices than you'll find at the big box. And you get both of the expertise of many years and many Garden business. Highly Recommend!

This was my first time at a plant and tree nursery and all I can say was that it was the most relaxing experience ever. I was so shocked to see how huge the place was... I believe one of the workers there said it was almost 3 acres? wow! The selection was huge and it was super affordable. Everyone working there was so nice! Especially Amy! Thanks Amy!! Thank goodness I didn't stop anywhere else. I'm definitely coming back!! Also, when I shop local, I just feel great! 🙂

As a place for a homeowner to go and buy plants/trees this place has just really gone downhill over the last 5 years. The selection isn’t what it used to be. Prices are high, employees seem to run the other direction rather than ask if I need help finding anything. The last several times I’ve gone I found myself walking out empty handed because I knew I could get a better version of what I wanted for less elsewhere. With the size of this place it could really be something special but it’s just a disorganized mess.
