Don't make the mistake I did. I spent $8000 for trees and privacy hedges. Claudio, the owner, promised me he'd personally oversee the planting. He didn't. But he showed up at the end of the day to pick up his check. From the beginning I had issues and sent photos, only to be told all was OK; "don't worry about it". 80% of what he sold me died. Now some of it I'll attribute to the cold snap we had. But not all of it. But, just like another person's review here, no one would call me back. 7 TIMES I asked for someone to tell me what needed to be replaced and what was salvageable. I was NOT asking for anything free! I called, I emailed, I sent a message through their web site. I only live a few minutes from them! One young lady answers the phone (sometimes) and was very nice and promised to have Claudio call me back, numerous times. He never did. $8000 and I can't even get a call from them. So, I went to a different landscaper and spent another $4000 to replace the dead stuff I bought from Blue Sky. There are a LOT of landscapers in this area, why take a chance and end up screwed like me? UPDATE on 5.27.26: So the owner posted the attached "apology" message, yet never bothered to call me, text me or email me! So after seeing my post and photos and saying I was asking for NOTHING free, he still chooses to ignore me and send a cut-and-paste message. In the meantime, one of the palm trees I was hoping might survive, didn't. (two extra photos added). Thus, virtually EVERYTHING I bought from him has died. And all he did was post an "I'm so sorry" statement to show that "he cares". BS! So I'm about to buy two more trees from another landscaper (who I'm very happy with) plus more privacy hedges. Stay far away from Blue Sky and Claudio. They simply don't care once they have your money. A complete waste.

We redid our entire backyard Claudio and Blue Sky are the best to work with. They made the backyard absolutely beautiful!! Completely transformed an area that was an eyesore to a beautiful landscaped space!!

This is our second time choosing Blue Sky to plant a field grown palm for our front yard. Last spring they planted two beautiful fox tails in our backyard. This time a pretty, tall field grown Queen palm. They are responsive, professional and did a great job removing an old stump and installing our palm in the same day. Claudio, the owner has a wonderful team . Amaloha-front office was pleasure to work with and helped us select and tour the nursury and their beautiful selection of palms. Julio and his crew partner were on time, professional, friendly and had our new Queen planted perfectly. If you’re shopping for a new palm, definitely visit Blue Sky, they have a nice variety of field size palms.

We purchased two Royal palms and a Bottle Palm from Blue Sky as well as a few small plants. They were very easy to work with, friendly, responsive, and quick to schedule install (only 1 week out whereas some nurseries quoted us 3-5 weeks). Melinda in the front office drove me around the nursery in their golf cart to help me pick the best trees. Claudio the owner is very fair on pricing. Randy and the install crew went above and beyond; ran new irrigation loops around each tree which I was expecting to have to do myself and they helped me transplant a Pygmy palm. All around top notch service from everyone I dealt with here and we will definitely be going back to buy more. Thanks guys, we love our new trees.
