Mr. Takenaka came to my home to did a thorough inspection of the system and his recommendation was to keep the system because it was basically intact and it would increase the value of the home when I sell it.

I've had Landscaping work done a few times since I've been a homeowner (23) years and I can tell…read moreyou that it's very hard to find a landscaping company that follows through, communicates regularly, has reasonable prices, and actually does excellent work. Luckily, I came across Cary who is the owner of Takenaka Landscaping who actually does all of the things I just mentioned. On my most recent dealing with Cary, he was very prompt when responding, came out right away to assess my yard, and took care of my yard issues (leaking sprinkler/plant issues) right away. I had contacted several other companies just to price around and I ran into all kinds of issues with them. Some didn't call back, some wanted to charge me just to give me an estimate, and one company that was going to fix my leaking sprinkler cancelled on me the day that they were supposed to come out for the job. In the end, Cary promptly addressed all of my yard issues. I highly recommend Takenaka Landscaping if you're looking for a landscape company!

He did this for roughly half the quote I received from another company, and completed it quickly and professionally. Tony's business has grown significantly since our first call to him several years ago, which is a testament to his honesty and quality work. Despite this growth, he still takes a personal interest in every job and makes sure they're completed correctly. There is not another landscaper on the island I would trust to do a job as well as Tony. Don't waste your time and money with anyone else.

I found them via another app and they have an excellent rating so I submitted a quote request. They called me soon after I requested the service on Jan 13th and Kainoa came out the next morning to look over my job and provide a quote which I accepted. He said they work in Kailua on Thursdays so we scheduled for the following Thursday, Jan 20th (today). This morning I realized he didn't give me a time frame so I texted him at 11am and he said they had to "fit me in" but they would be here "for sure" "around lunch or a little after". He sits they would definitely call me before coming out. At 4pm they still weren't here but before I could contact him, he called me to say they were running late and wanted to reschedule me for tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I won't be available tomorrow and didn't feel like having them come over to do work for the first time without me here. Can't comment on their level of work but being a pretty much "no show" and late call to follow up is no Bueno in my book. At least they called but just way too late to do me any good... just wasted my whole day.

A few weeks ago I installed security cameras and today was the first time I could watch them in action. They were EXCELLENT! Everything that needed to be done was done. They didn't waste time and I was surprised by some of the things they did because it would be something I would do, but wouldn't expect of a lawn service. I would definitely recommend Oahu Lawn Service!

And they told me how I can clean them myself. I really appreciated their time, and how they did not unnecessarily charge me to deal with my "problem." Will definitely call them again if I need their services.

It is very unfortunate to have experienced such unfounded, unprofessional, and aggressive behavior…read morefrom Oahu Irrigation & Design, LLC (Kullee Long). I recently communicated with Kullee Long to obtain a bid to get my 92-year-old client's irrigation system up and running, per my client's request. According to my client, Bob N., Kullee met with him at his beautiful home on the ridge, quoted $6,400 cash, and stated he would return in 2 days to collect half as a deposit. My client said he asked for his business card, and Kullee said it was in his car and wrote his name and number on a piece of paper. My client called me the next day, concerned because he had nothing in writing and Kullee planned to collect a cash deposit without providing a written scope of work in advance. Since my client does not have an email, he asked me to call Kullee for the estimate on his behalf and I would print it and gladly drive it to my client for Kullee. My client also expressed discomfort, noting he "had an attitude" and no clarity for the $6,400 cost and it was a rush to get a half down. I contacted Kullee and requested if he can please send a written quote, explaining that my client asked for this before he gives Kullee a cash deposit without documentation and approval. During our conversation, Kullee stated he could do the work for $6,400 cash or $1,500 more if it was "on the books if that's what you guys want!" I calmly asked for clarification on the $1,500 difference, he struggled to explain then said "credit card fees and materials etc...", and then became very angry talking tough. My client already told him he was paying cash and that he doesn't like to use his credit card. I reiterated to please send the written quote so my client can review it. Kullee responded rudely and upset, stating he was busy and needed an immediate decision to "keep his workers busy and get paid". At that point, I shared the same concern my client had expressed. Kullee told me "thanks for wasting my time" and stated he had other clients waiting. I told him that we understood and of course, please go ahead and help your other clients. His tone then became increasingly aggressive and rude. While trying to protect my client's best interest, I ended the conversation, thanked him, and informed him that I did not feel he was a good fit. Kullee then kept sending me repeated, aggressive, and rude text messages, which I didn't answer. I texted to inform him that I needed to block his number, and I did. A few minutes later, Kullee went on my business google page, Susan Borochov - Realtor Hawaii, and made an inaccurate aggressive, and unwarranted review. He has since then continuously revised his review on me. Which is why I decided to share the chain if events. Kullee, upset that he didn't get the job and easy money, reacted vindictively as the only way knew. Every potential customer has the right to receive written bids and make informed decisions. This situation appeared to prioritize money over professionalism, ethics and proper business conduct, particularly concerning a 92-year-old potential customer. I have been in real estate for over 25 years, and I take great pride in caring for each of my clients, as reflected in my reviews. An inaccurate, vindictive review from Kullee will not change the level of service I provide to my clients or my business ethic. This experience reflects my commitment to going the extra mile for my clients by helping them. Thank goodness that my longtime trustworthy landscaper, who I learned also specializes in irrigation, made time to meet with my client. He clearly identified the issues and provided a written estimate of $1,800 and his business card to my client, and the job was immediately booked today as well as additional landscape work. He treat his clients with respect and honesty. I'm sharing this to urge others to do their research and insist on proper documentation before proceeding with any contractor they are comfortable with and trust. I hope Kullee reflects on this experience and chooses to conduct business with fairness, professionalism, calmness, honesty and respect whether you get a job or not. Repeated harassment is not acceptable business practice and reflects an unhealthy attitude. I wish you the best Kullee. Please be peaceful. Thank you, Susan Borochov - Realtor

He finished on time, did more than he promised, and my yard looks great. They did, accidentally, break a water pipe, which they fixed immediately. Even though they had to pull people off another job. And my only complaint is that a few plants did not survive, despite my watering daily. Which was disappointing as they were the more colorful flowers that were planted. But, overall, they did a great job. Sean was really nice, communicative, service-oriented, and got the job done fast!

I will be 100% honest. Being that I deal with the public on a daily. Dealing with people can suck…read morereally bad, and a lot of reviews seemed to be based on clashing of personalities. With that said. Let me begin. So I hope you read this before making your decision. To me the guys working on my house were cherry. Work is done very good. My yard has become 500% better since employing Lawntastic. Working with Shawn was easy. I made Major changes in my plan a few times and all I was told was. "We can do that". I hired Lawntastic to just remove some old cement and plant grass with some pavers. When it was done. I was like hmm First add on was a 75 ' vinyl fence. Planters on the side Planters in the back Planters in the front Everything I asked. They did. Without a flinch. And he knew I had a party coming up so they came and did extra on the weekend for free. I gave Shawn a lot of freedom with this project and I am extremely happy with the work. What you have to consider is that nothing ever goes as easy as planned and don't take shit personal. Most of the post I read seemed personal. No I didn't know Shawn before I hired him. In fact. Ok called him looking for a guy to cut my grass. We went from a 60 dollar job to a huge job and they did everything they said they would. Yes we got into some problems but he came and fixed it the next day. The crew is sick. They did a great job. Now read all my previous reviews and ask yourself if I lie. Nope. I don't do this to be popular. I do this because I like to frequent local businesses and I only hire Hawai'i Contractors. For me it is very important to keep it local. I write these reviews because I know I don't take it personal and I want to see local businesses do well. If this guys company sucked. I would've had no problem saying so. The only reason I didn't give. 5 stars is because I not pau yet. But that's not 100% on Lawntastic. A lot is on me for changing the game plan multiple times. So yes peeps. I back these guys and would definitely recommend them.
