Robert’s passion for horticulture runs deep, tracing back to his roots in Hawaii, where his great-great-grandparents emigrated as agricultural workers from the Portuguese island of Madeira. Growing up, his love for plants and landscaping was nurtured by his grandmother and father, spending summers in the Hawaiian Islands, a source of continuous inspiration.
With a background in Horticultural Studies, Robert launched his career at Spring Hill Nursery in Apopka, FL in 1999.

We had our entire yard designed and landscaped by Robert and his crew. Our design included a paver patio, a revamp of our irrigations... read more system, a small retaining wall, and a number of beds. Robert helped our vision come to life, and the finished product was even better than we'd envisioned. Throughout the process, Robert was responsive to any/all questions, ideas, and suggestions. It was easy to trust Robert and everyone involved, and we do not have one negative thing to say about our experience with BLG. We look forward to enjoying what they created in our yard for years to come. Thanks again, Robert.

BLG Environmental Services has designed and installed three distinct landscape projects at our home over the years. The owner is hands-on, which I sincerely... read more appreciate. He designs the work and delivers as promised. On Project #2, BLG installed LED lighting for us which we love! They also installed a new sprinkler system for us (on Project #1) and they check the system anytime they come to our home. Robert stands behind all his work and is extremely dependable. I would recommend BLG to anyone. Honest, Dependable, and Excellent work.

We retained BLG for a complete landscape renovation of a +6,000 square foot lake front home situated in a gated community in Windermere, FL. ... read more The renovation included all surrounding sides of the house / property and pool area and also included nearly 70 lighting elements and landscape rocks as well. Robert is the owner of BLG and his landscape design plans were meticulous and thorough (including legends, sizes, gallons, location / lighting markings, etc.); the plans addressed all of the details / questions of our HOA (known to be very inquisitive / stringent and challenging to deal with). His plans included tremendous variety (i.e. things we did not know existed) and color and also addressed mature privacy screening needs (e.g. issues of gaining substantial additional privacy over an existing 6-8 foot mature hedge); it was a great design (beautiful and creative) that essentially needed no revisions. A few noteworthy things if you are considering BLG for a significant project: (1) When they start your project, they will not leave or take days off until it’s done. They arrive and leave at consistent times. They do things by the book and are not shlocky. (2) They are very firm on price, but that works both ways when the work unfolds. For example, when certain inevitable wrinkles come up on the job, you will not be hit for more money. They stand by their estimate and will eat additional costs if need be (assuming of course you are not the one making unforeseen changes to the plans). (3) During the entire install, a foreman is on property every day (Danny); he is great to work with, eager to please, approachable, and, communicates very well. They really make you feel like they are there to get it right and want to make sure you are happy. You never feel like you are bothering anyone if you have a question or a tweak you want made. (4) They have great attention to detail, including on the small things (and without you thinking or asking). For example, they bring in a porto potty for their crew; they paint all of your exposed sprinkler pipes black (so they better blend); they paint exposed pipes near landscape elements brown so they better blend; any wood that supports newly planted palm trees, they also paint brown to look more natural, etc.; when sod is put down, they circle around with a masher to make sure no lumps and completely level, etc. I would definitely hire them again and you can trust them with a sizable job, especially if you are an attention to detail kind of person!

Wanted to share how happy we were with the service and quality of the landscaping and lighting that was installed in our home by BLG.... read more Robert worked with us to create a design and helped us stay within our budget by providing different options before work was initiated. His crew worked quickly as Dan and his team followed through and addressed all questions we had along the way. Robert created an innovative approach to our lighting that has greatly enhanced our curb appeal. Thanks to Robert, Dan and all of the BLG team for a job beautifully done...
