Best Businesses in Arizona

Hayward Tree Removal did a great job of removing our 75+ foot palm tree. They showed up promptly and had the tree removed in less than 20 minutes. They then did a great job of grinding down the stump and clean up. Their pricing came in several hundred dollars less than other estimates. We would highly recommend them for any tree service.

I requested a quote from Gerson and he responded immediately and was at my house the next day for the quote! He came back a few days later to remove our weeds and did an amazing job. He is incredibly responsive and communicative! I would highly recommend hiring him for your landscaping needs and will definitely be calling him again.

I had such a good experience with them. They gave me a reasonable price and did a nice job on my tree and cactus. I didn't even need to be home when they came by. Very happy and will use them again!

**Update next day: Maria called to check up and make sure I was happy with the service. I told her I thought they did a great job. I think that was really nice that they followed up like that! Highly recommend!!!

We have been using Lucas Lawn and Yard Care for almost a year now and have loved the service they provide. Their pricing is very reasonable and they always do a great job with all our plants and trees! Would recommend their services to anyone.

We had time to choose our moving company and time to move. Hence, I did my homework. Bryan and his wife were the only ones to come to the house, check out what we had and get a lay of the land. We're talking a 2-story, 3000 square foot home... no small task!!! Bryan gave a quote and stuck to it even though we had extra items. He and his team arrived early, were professional, and efficient. They had to move some very old antique pieces which they handled with exceptional care. I hope I don't have to move for a long time. However, if I do, I'll re-hire Bryan and his team in a heartbeat!

One year ago they charged me $300.00 to trim two palm trees. This year they quoted $700.00. I don't think so but nice try.

Friendly staff, fast response, fair pricing. Scheduling was convenient and easy, crew showed up right on time, and the quality of work was just right. Will definitely use Tree Pros in the future -- and recommend them to anyone who needs a palm tree cleaned up.

Ryan was extremely responsive to my ask for 12 tons of rock to be spread in my back yard. He suggested also digging out and resetting the rivers (the drainage channels of large river rock) which was a great suggestion as they now look great.

We agreed price and a target timescale a few weeks out and he stuck to it. Ryan arranged the rock drop location with the rock company so I had nothing to do there and his guys showed up on schedule to take care of the spreading.

We visited this company's booth at the 2017 Maricopa County Home and Garden Show this year. We gave them our information because we were interested in a free quote to have a tree removed from the backyard. A week later they called and arranged to come out on that Saturday to look at the tree and get us a quote. The person scheduling the appointment said that an arborist would be in the area between 10-1 that day. On that Friday the arborist, Oscar, called to confirm the appointment and said he'd be there between 9-12. Its 4:42 on Saturday now and no call from them and no one ever showed up. I took this as a good indication of the quality of work they might do and overall poor customer service. Obviously, we won't be using this company if they can't even make it to an appointment. I didn't bother calling the company to inquire about where the arborist was because I honestly didn't want to use the company after they wasted my time waiting on them.

You don't want to work with this company and the owner's bad attitude.  I agreed to have Lucas Lawn & Yard Care service my yard back in December.  I met with Ryan at my house, he looked at the property, and provided a quote based on his experience running his business since 1994.  He insisted that I sign a Service Agreement with him.  Today, he emailed me to tell me that my rate is increasing by 67% because it is taking more time than he thought.  He has decided that the terms of the Service Agreement do not apply to him.  He also insisted when I signed up that he do a one-time cleanup and spray pre-emergent (which didn't work very well) for $405.  All of this was factored into my budget for landscaping.  I tried to explain to him that what he is doing is called bait and switch, but he doesn't get it.  He's going to respond to this review the exact same way that he has responded to all of the others.  I'm right and you're wrong.

I've posted his original email to me and my response.  I wish that I could post his full, long-winded, nonsensical, response which blames me for his inability to quote a job and run an efficient business, but Yelp says that I'm out of space so I gave you a partial.  You decide.

Here's the meat of his original email to me: Thank you for choosing Lucas Lawn Care to offer you regular service the last 4 months.  When I give a service price for a new customer the price is basically a guess as to how long on average, I think the crew is going to need to be on site each visit.  Now that we have some history of visits, I can figure out an average.  That average shows the men are just needing to take a little longer than expected to service your yard.  So, I need to raise your price by $74 per visit starting in May.  I have talked to Javier and he has confirmed that the yard is going to need this amount of time on average to keep it looking the way you have been asking him to keep it.

My response: This is an outrageous bait and switch tactic.  Shame on you.  You, the expert, who has been in business since 1994 came to my house, looked at my yard, and told me the cost to take care of it on a monthly basis.  I agreed to pay you to $405 to do a one-time cleanup even though you were taking over immediately from my previous company.  I agreed to pay more for your service than I had been paying previously and I even agreed to pay $130 for a pre-emergent service that was intended to keep the cost of service down for a year, but doesn't work very well (there are currently lots of weeds on my property (the day after service) - see attached example photo taken this morning).  I even signed a Service Agreement with you.  Now, after 4 months including the months with the most growth that will take the longest to service, you send an email telling me that you plan to disregard your service agreement and raise my rate 67% because it is taking more time than you expected?

Javier and his crew do a nice job and I hate to lose that service, but I have not asked him to keep the yard the way I like it beyond pointing out items that should be taken care of in the normal course of service.  Yesterday when he was here, the only things I asked were to trim the overgrowth on the 2 trees near the front door that he could reach from ground level and to make sure that the hedge was taken care of since it was not addressed on his last visit.

I see two options here.  The first is that you continue to honor your service agreement and commitments at the price we have agreed.  I am not looking for perfection.  I am willing to have a little bit less service if that helps.  The second option is that we part ways and I post reviews detailing your bait and switch tactics so that your future customers will be warned.  Under the second option, you will also immediately refund the $130 that I paid for the pre-emergent service since my new landscaper will include the cost of dealing with the weeds in their price and will not recognize that I already paid for this ineffective service.

His response: Since the bait and switch item will not be on any other reviews potential new customers will not see a pattern.  Also there are so many 5 star reviews they will question yours more at being a one star.

Our service agreement has a 30 day notice of cancelation that either party can cancel not an annual 12 month contract.  so we can part ways now if you want since I contacted you the next day after a visit or you can get one more visit from us and that will be our last visit making it an official 30 calendar days.  My guys will know to only spend the time that your price is buying so that last visit would be less work than what has been happening.  I'm not trying to make things hard for you or emotional, again I just want to make sure my company is making something on each visit vs nothing.  What would be the point in a company servicing a yard and loose money?  I'm sure you get paid to do your job, correct.

Very professional, Walt was very knowledgeable about trees and willing to share.  Hired to remove a large mesquite limb that was damaged and about to damage our fence.  Also, had them trim our other trees.  The scheduler was willing to work with me to get our appointment ahead of schedule per my request.  All at a reasonable price.  The work was done exactly as Walt and I discussed.

Trees For Needs was a pleasure to work with. Used their services for some maintenance work on my 20+ ft tall Palo Verde. As soon as Carl arrived for the initial quote, I knew I was making the right decision. I was explained the work to be done, how it was to be done, and why. Employees are prompt, polite and professional. As a contractor, I was glad to see the measures taken to ensure the safety of workers. If you want a company that knows and cares about their services, I highly recommend TFN.

Geronimo is the best!! I recommend him for all your landscaping needs.

Geronimo was awesome, he and his crew did a great job on a small paver and turf project. He is very professional and takes pride in his work.

Highly recommend!

Responded immediately to my request to quote. Scheduled an appointment to walk the property and give an estimate. Showed up right on time.

Gave me a fair estimate and scheduled sevice two days later. Again showed up right on time. Very kind and professional, worked quickly and got the job done.

This is my first time hiring a landscaping Company, and I'm very appreciative that it was so easy with Geronimo, especially as so many other Companies are not quick to respond to requests to quote and/or do not show up on time.

Jorge responded to my request to help w weeds all over my yard. He replied in about 10 minutes, gave me a quick quote, and was over to my house in 15 minutes. We had so many weeds and I thought it was too much for a single guy, but he was out there for at least 3 hours working away at it. The finished product was excellent, he came through and got all the weeds out and even mowed the grass in the back. Highly recommend Jorge, very responsive and pleasant to work with, very nice and humble guy that's out there to get work done. I asked him for his business card when he was done because we will definitely be using him again.

The team was responsive and did exactly what we discussed. We will be calling them again for our future landscaping plans.

Bottom line up front, this company was quick to respond to my initial quote and provided reasonable prices.

George does not charge a diagnostic fee (unlike other companies I called) and was determined to fix my sprinkler system. There was a bit of a hiccup, since we couldn't pinpoint the exact problem, however George worked tirelessly to find the solution! He has good work ethics provides high-quality work and is a man of his words.

George was able to remedy all my lawn problems and now my lawn is back to normal!  

Thanks for the hard work! I will definitely contract Astonishing Landscape and Design for the future should I need George's services.

I was referred to Lucas Lawn and I have to say it was the best referral I could have received.  They not only are SUPER honest but extremely professional.  Jourdan was prompt and did a very neat and detailed job taking care of my palm trees.  He even went out to his way to make sure my property was secured and safe before he left.  I look forward to utilizing their services throughout the year.  You get what you pay for!  If you want quality work from some guys that truly understand the needs of each tree, then you want to give Lucas Lawn and Yard Care a shot.  You will not be disappointed.

These guys are great if you just need a basic trimming or removal. If you need anything else they're largely useless as they seem incapable of following simple directions.

The first time we had them out they were trimming some trees and were supposed to remove a dead one. The trees looked nice but they forgot to remove the dead one. The next time we asked them to come give us an opinion on whether one of our trees was killed by bugs or by sunburn from overtrimming (by a different company). They gave is a quote to remove the tree and nothing else. The wind a couple days ago partially knocked over one of our trees so we had them out to give us a quote on how much it would cost to save the tree. This was communicated to the office as well as in person and yet we only received a quote for removal. We'll be finding a different company with people that actually listen.
