Best Businesses in Arizona

After the frustration of the no show for an estimate, Hayward did come and give us a quote and ultimately won our confidence with their knowledge of trees and fair price.  They did a good job and I would use them again.

issue was resolved  but it turned out to be too pricey for the work performed.

I called Surprise Tree Service because my large Mesquite tree needed a make-over.  There was a lot of work to be done and Juan and the crew did a fabulous job.  I called to set an appointment for a bid and Juan came within an hour or so.  We agreed to a price and scheduled the job for 2 days later.  The whole team is very professional and thoroughly cleaned all branches and pieces to leave a clean yard.  I appreciated that there was no  one goofing off (or checking their phone for the latest text). They were serious about doing a good job.  That's not easy to find.  I would definitely hire them again and would highly recommend them.  Thank you to Juan and the entire team at Surprise Tree Service.  I'm glad you are in the Surprise, AZ area.  I will gladly send business your way.

Ryan and his crew were amazing. He came out next day after initial contact to get measurments and a quote same day. They installed a paver driveway extension up to my RV gate. It went super smooth and all though it was 110 + degrees they were able to start and complete the job in 2 days! I highly recommend if you are looking for quality work here in Arizona.

I highly recommend this company!  Got a quote on Friday and the job was completed by Tuesday the next week.  My new yard looks great and the pavers along the edge were meticulously placed.   The price was very reasonable and they did not leave behind a mess.

The good.  Robert, their arborist has always been good to deal with and seems to know his stuff and communicates well to the crew on what needs to be done.  That part is executed well.  The bad is that they are overly aggressive in trying to get back in to trim trees, etc.  This is a $1,100 to $1,300 job.  Mark your calendar please as we will not be doing more than every 10-12 months.  When my spouse reached back out to them, it took them a week or so to get back to her.  They need to tighten up communication a bit.

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.

Guys came out, reasonable quote, and worked with my schedule.  They were very professional, cleaned up afterwards, my trees look great.  I would recommend to anyone.

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.

We have a Palo Verde tree that has become a monster mostly due to incompetent trimming.  Eric came promptly with his team.  He climbed the tree... trimming, removing crossed branches, and opening up the tree beautifully.  Best service ever.  Have scheduled him to add landscaping rocks. So happy we found him.

Great work. Cost was great. Very happy with the services rendered. I was kept informed and sent a picture when they were done. Very happy

Used the Yelp app to find a landscaper in my area just to clear weeds, and fallen leaves. Geronimo was the first to call. I submitted a request on Sunday, came by monday with a pretty good offer, and was at the house on the next day.

Quick, clean, and yard looks amazing. Netted out the pool of the trimmings, raked down the rocks, and scheduling him out for monthly service. I have had other landscapers at the house, and was pretty inconsistent. Geronimo was perfect, glad to have his business, and encourage others to reach out.

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.

A guy from another company worked on my palm trees, but left me with all the plant trimmings. I was very disappointed.

So I reached out on yelp for bids, and Roman was the first of three to respond. His team came and cleaned up all the palm tree trimmings, and they also finished trimming the trees that the other company didn't do.

I could tell they were a good company because after picking up all the fronds they swept up all the dust left behind, and didn't leave it for the customer to do. Kudos to them.

We hired this company to do yard work and just clean up the yard from weeds, grass, and trim the trees. The first time they did a good job, the second time was not the best but it was okay. We made a deal with the owner George to come monthly. The third time George came by himself with no other works. He did the bare minimum, left all these weeds, and did not even finish cutting the grass in parts of the yard. He did not trim any of the trees. When we tried to contact him, he didn't respond to any calls or texts. We even gave him snacks and water, which he ate and drank and threw the garbage in the backyard on the ground. He left that morning without saying anything. We sent him pictures of our yard and the trash he left, he never responded or returned any calls.

Definitely unprofessional and wouldn't recommend this company to do your yard work. There are companies that can do a better job and actually pull the weeds from the ground instead of just mowing over them and leaving all these dead weeds everywhere. There was no sort of clean up, just basically cut grass and left.

You definitely get ripped off from this guy. Do not pay him until after the job you hired him for is actually complete. He never does the job fully and it doesn't even get done good.

Didn't use, estimate was crazy high.

Littering my neighborhood with stupid flyers stuffed into front doors is not welcome.  I called and asked for someone come remove the unsolicited flyers.  I was transferred to someone else who said it would be easier to just throw it away.  When I said I'd report it as littering as they were blown about the neighborhood, he said I'd like to see how that goes for you.  That's a great way to earn business.

These flyers are unwanted, a total waste and create a more negative brand impressions than positive.

North Phoenix, AZ - Trees for Needs is one of the few highly professional businesses we have dealt with in the Valley. Kerry and Kory were very professional and communication was excellent throughout the process of removing one of our tall white pines. Andy provided the initial details of the process, including the company's insurance information so we were at ease about coverage if something went wrong. Nothing did, as their crew has a totally safety conscience work ethnic and took all the necessary precautions to protect the home owner's property as well as their professional crew. After the tree was removed, the stump was ground down to our satisfaction. They checked in with us so we knew what was going to happen and after, triple checked to see that we were totally happy with the results.

I would HIGHLY recommend Trees for Needs to anyone needing tree services.
