Steve and his crew performed excellent services. I would and have already recommended them to neighbors and friends as an excellent landscape company with fair pricing. They did not skimp on quality of effort nor quality of work. Like every homeowner project the need for good communication is key to a happy outcome. Steve outshines in this area. He listened to me describe mine and my yard's individual need. I had a nightmare situation of invasive tree roots growing from under the fence from adjoining neighbors excessively thorny trees. The consequence were thorny tree shoots growing throughout my backyard and its sucker branches popping up on every 2-3 inches along the way. It eventually took over my lawn area by 25ft + in every direction. And it was growing longer! This made it impossible to walk on the lawn and enjoy without being stabbed and bloodied by long sharp thorns. I needed these tree roots traced and dug out completely all the way to the fence line before applying new landscaping. Gaspar and Henry did an excellent job of removing each one of these multiple roots by hand digging. Very laborious and yet they handled it well in the hot summer sun and doing a complete and excellent job. They did it quickly and I thank them tremendously. I had to make the hard but wise choice of not re-sodding and no longer having a lawn. Steve was very patient and guided me to the right choices of landscape material that would help me eliminate this problem from reoccurring on my yard. Steve and his crew (Gaspar and Henry) were a blessing and gave me back my yard. Thank you, sincerely. It was a great experience to work with Awaken Landscapes. I would use them again. read more

Steve and his crew were so easy to work with. They were very communicative, on schedule, and on budget! I highly recommend!

Steve and Awaken Landscapes did an awesome job transforming our very labor-intensive front yard into a beautiful xeriscape oasis. We had few ideas on what we wanted, but several ideas about what we did not want. Raquel (Solea Landscapes) listened carefully and designed a beautiful yard, complete with 3D renderings so we could really envision her ideas in our space. They worked with us, even inviting us to shop with them for pots and plants. Steve and Awaken Landscapes did an amazing job in executing her design. Jose and his crew were quick, efficient, and cheerful. They responded positively to our every request, and they kept the job site clean and neat, even with all the mud from February's downpours. Our new front yard is everything I hoped for: beautiful, unique, low on water usage, and easy to maintain. The end result is the talk of the neighborhood. The first night that the accent lights lit up our new yard brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Steve, Raquel, and all the great folks at Awaken Landscapes. read more

Steve and his crew were awesome. Also super helpful to have Raquel's help visualizing the design as we planned. We threw some curveballs and ideal their way as we got rolling and they handled the adjustments great. Very happy with how the yards turned out, front in low water natives primarily and the back as a play/recreation area for the kids. Highly recommend them for any landscaping project. read more

The work that was done by Steve's crew was great - they did an amazing job. I give them 5 stars. Unfortunately, Steve promised a few things that he did not deliver on which is why I'm giving him 3.5 stars. The details were important to me and he didnt follow through on some of the finishing touches with plant placement and the use of boulders. So, for the price, I feel like I got less bc these things were promised for the price. When I spoke to him about my concerns, I got push back. Ultimately,, he said he would come fix it but I did not want to deal with someone who was disgruntled about it. So i paid him and decided to the remaining finishing touches myself. Also, our Job was 2 days worth of work and it seemed like he was too busy with other, bigger jobs to give our project the attention it needed (This is based on what he said to us). read more

The work done looks amazing and quality, communicated well, was patient and very helpful. Would recommend to family and friends 100% read more

This company provides outstanding service. We asked for the work to be performed on a Saturday and he was able to bring a crew who worked tirelessly to do a first-rate job. Plus, their pricing is very fair. We are glad we came across this company and will use them again. read more

Steve, with Awaken Landscapes, was fantastic! He was very quick to respond and provided a competitive quote to prune a large tree in our front yard. He did a very thorough job, the tree looks great! Will definitely use again for the trees in our backyard as well. Would highly recommend him! read more

This is review is way later than when the actual work was done. The business owner was one of the easiest to understand the options and provide us with a very reasonable estimate. I would highly recommend the business to others for any similar landscape project read more

Great service. Nothing and day difference. They were fast and efficient with their work. Would hire again.

Awaken Landscapes went above and beyond what we expected. Steve and Raquel are knowledgeable about horticulture, they're patient, great collaborators, and really care about your home and project. Steve is passionate about what he does and it clearly shows, he pays attention to every little detail. The budget is also considered and adhered to properly. I'd like to mention that we did a complete re-do of our backyard. We had a large deck that was built around a tree and took up 80% of the yard. Steve and his team demo'd the entire deck, but they left us a cute little mini deck by our bedroom door, with steps leading down to the crushed rock paths. He also removed the weeds and the root system to prevent them from returning. Above all, his team is very creative and willing to suggest different ideas along the way that will improve the quality of your yard and home. We will continue to work with Awaken Landscapes on all of our future phases. I absolutely recommend Steve and his team. A+ 1000 times. read more

I reached out to Awaken Landscapes about some landscaping needs in my backyard. (I have included some before and after pictures). We hadn't done much with the backyard since we moved in and life got so busy that our yard was starting to become very overgrown. We found Awaken Landscapes and they were very quick to respond. I spoke with Steve who was able to quickly fit me in for a quote. I expressed my concerns with the backyard and what I would like done with it. Our biggest concern was the overgrown foliage, weeds, and moving a large planter box. Steve said him and his team could easily remedy our concerns. We discussed pricing and I found his pricing to be fair considering the amount of work him and his team would have to do. He was able to fit us in the very next week! His team was efficient, well organized and they did a fantastic job revitalizing our backyard! It is clear they take pride in what they do and complete their jobs with care and dedication. I enjoyed seeing the care to details, like planting the succulents that were growing onto our lawn into the giant barrel planter. I will definitely reach out to Awaken Landscapes with any future landscaping needs and will recommend them to my friends as well! Thank you to Steve and his team! read more

Steve was awesome! He went above and beyond to get our front yard and Japanese maple trees into shape. He did an expert job pruning our Japanese maples. He also cut back our overgrown yuccas and blue agaves- not an easy job considering how overgrown they were. He worked tirelessly in the heat to get the job done and everything looked fantastic. We will call him again for sure! Highly recommend his services. read more

5+++ Stars!!! It was a pleasure working with Steve and his crew. I wanted to spruce up my front and backyard on a limited budget. I had some ideas that took me over my budget, but Steve had some wonderful alternatives that helped me stay within budget and still get a beautiful landscape. Steve provided excellent customer service and I would not hesitate to recommend Awaken Landscapes to my family and friends. read more

Unlike most other companies who send hired arborists for estimates, the owner Steve who is a licensed arborist actually came out himself and thoroughly walk through all the work needed to be done.  He is very knowledgeable and made very good suggestions on how to handle all the different trees we have.  The estimate was very reasonable and scheduling was a breeze.  The best part though is the amazing crew working on site.  The entire crew is extremely professional and Steve also showed on the job site to make sure everything runs smoothly.  Marty and Don in particular really went above and beyond in working on every tree with the greatest attention to detail from pruning to hedging to trimming to everything else.  The crew cleaned up very well after completing the job on time.  I am very pleased with their work. The trees now look fantastic and I will be sure to go back to them for any future tree work. read more

Steve and his crew were fantastic! Steve was extremely responsive to my initial request. My sister and I had removed some of the sod ourselves but were unable to complete the job due to time and energy. I reached out to Awaken Landscapes and Steve was able to come by for a quote that same day! His team was at my house the following morning and finished removing all of the sod and did the edging too. I'm incredibly grateful for their service and would definitely use them again in the future! read more

Steve and his team did a fantastic job on our front yard. We wanted to remove all grass and replace with low-water plants and hard scaping that still brought a lot of color. Raquel made a beautiful design, incorporated our feedback, and the team quickly got to work. The pricing was very fair and upfront. Awaken did everything-- from pulling up the old grass, to putting in plants and rocks, to adding all the irrigation lines. We love the result and would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Did an amazing job transforming my backyard. Took them two hours, and exceeded my expectations. Very reasonable pricing for the quality of work provided. Will use again if I need any landscaping or yard work. read more

Very happy with the work done by the team today. Dan was very professional and responsive throughout the whole process. I had tried two other companies that were top rated on yelp: 1 didn't even respond until a week later after 3 messages left and the other decided to just do the estimate without me there. Just for that, I felt the most comfortable going with arbor magic. Marty and his team were very nice and did a great job. It was really cool to watch our 100ft fir tree get taken down too. The guy made it look so easy. Video'd the whole process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnXkJ2i0WVw&t=206s The team also did a great job cleaning up after. Super excited to have a more open yard with more light. read more

Awaken Landscapes - Landscaping Near Me - Lafayette, California

We had a generally positive experience with the company for some recent tree removal work in our yard. We had five trees in total to remove, and the crew was incredibly fast and efficient, and payment details are all managed through an online portal, which lessens any risk in today's pandemic climate. A couple of things end up dinging the score for us: - Scheduling was a bit difficult and haphazard, though this could potentially be chalked up to the fact that the company admin is relatively new in role. - We had warned the crew in advance that we had some underground electrical wiring that we did not want harmed in the process of tree removal, and that we were willing to schedule more time if it was needed to ensure no damage done to the wiring. Unfortunately, we had multiple lines completely cut and severed, so our outdoor yard lighting isn't functional anymore. If you have a simple tree removal job, I'd recommend this company - the fact that they have a registered arborist on their team is great. But if you have complex wiring and/or sprinkler system, you might want to look elsewhere. read more

Arbor Magic closed either in late June or early July of 2021. I had been provided an estimate and tried calling, emailing and texting to approve the work but there was no response. Another company contacted me last week saying Arbor Magic had sold the business and moved out of state and asked if I wanted to consider their company for the work I needed done. I'm very disappointed to have spent so much time and effort and to not be contacted by Arbor Magic letting me know so I didn't waste me time. I had used them in the past and was extremely satisfied. read more

If you are looking for a professional, efficient, clean and cost effective tree removal service Arbor Magic is the perfect company to call. From start to finish, we had a 5+ star experience. Orlando was quick to provide a quote as well as share insightful information about trees, growth pattern and preventative maintenance. He was incredibly patient with my 101 questions! Antonio and his crew were amazing. They worked tirelessly and left the job site spotless, they even cleaned the roof! Thank you SO much for doing such an amazing job. I will continue to promote this company and call them the next time we need some work done! Anyone out there on the fence about hiring them, don't. You will not regret it! read more

Last year we used http://www.arbormagic.com/ after being recommended them and had a good experience with them. They took down a couple smaller/deader trees (they left very little tree debris behind!), did windsail reduction on a couple big ones, put up some securing ropes on another, gave me tips on what to do with one far back and not currently an issue, and were able to leave some of the woodchips where I asked :) I didn't do too much price comparison but was happy with what they quoted. read more

We've have had Arbor Magic out at our property several times, all for very complex full tree removals (30' +). They've always come up with a detailed plan and executed on it as promised. What stood out to us though was when there was a significant wind storm and a tree fell on our property. When I called them, they found a way to get a crew out within days and have the tree safely removed, minimizing additional damage to the property. When we've received other quotes, their pricing has always been fair. Would definitely recommend. read more

10++++++ STARS!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING, FANTASTIC, PHENOMENAL JOB!!!!!!!!! We are THRILLED!!!!!!!!! Dan, Marty, Don & their ENTIRE crew worked cheerfully & tirelessly until our job was completed to our satisfaction... well ABOVE & BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS! It was like a scene out of a movie...Their big trucks rolled in & like a swarm of bees the team went to work, each with a specific task & when the job was complete they disappeared... Poof! Just like Magic! We are in awe! The entire process was seamless! GREAT GUYS, GREAT TEAM, GREAT COMPANY... Arbor Magic Tree Service is MAGICAL! WE ARE GRATEFUL! THANK YOU GUYS!!! read more

The end product was very nice, and I'm still appreciating the work they did 1 1/2 years later, although the workers didn't clean up some of the trimmings they left on the sidewalk and weren't happy when I asked them to come back and clean them up. I think they were in a big hurry, but the work they did was very good. read more

Excellent tree service. Very professional, ethically and reasonably priced. Any issues are ethically and respectfully addressed. Our yard looks great and the cleanup was impeccable. read more

Last Summer, I had One 50 feet tall Alder tree cut&trimmed down about 15 feet from the top, my total services were around $700 by Arbor Magic Tree Services. I was very busy at the time, no time to get more quotes from others, I got their flyer from the mail, called and got the job done within a few days. This Summer, I just had Two 50 feet tall Alder trees cut&trimmed down about 25 feet from the top, my total services were around $650 by a different Tree Service (A "Local" Charitable Mission"). Needless to say, I gave my business to one of these other company because of the very reasonable cost & am perfectly happy with the work that was done. I learned my lesson. read more

Over the Memorial Day weekend, I called several tree removal service companies about a small tree job. Steve Durgan (owner) from Arbor Magic was the first to return my call and to set up the free estimate appointment after the holiday. Steve called to let me know when he was 30 minutes away. After a brief site survey, Steve was able to give me a couple options and quotes. I signed the contract on the spot because I was satisfied with the price, the schedule, and the way how Steve conducted his business. Steve treated me fairly and honestly. Not to mention Arbor Magic is licensed, bonded,and insured in WA state. And on the next day Steve's crew show up as promised. Steve's men were all professionals and knowledgeable in the trade. When the first worker arrived by car and before others, he immediately went to work, by climbing up a tree and trimmed off the low hanging branches that were blocking my view, all without sitting around and wasting time. The entire job was done in less than two hours. They fed the tree branches into the wood chipper and took the tree trunks away as part of the agreement. The last ten minutes was spent cleaning up the site and blowing away the loose chips and dust on the driveway. I'd strongly recommend Arbor Magic for your next tree removal or pruning job. They are located in Kirkland. Thank you for reading my review. read more

We had some firs and cedars in our backyard that needed a lot of trimming. Two of which had ivy growing all the way up them that needed removal (a laborious task for tree service companies). Also needed three others cut down (sad, but necessary). Steve showed up for the estimate when he said he would and gave us a very fair price and since we were having so much work done, gave us a good discount. The crew came out a few days later and knocked out the work like it was nothing. The result of the extensive thinning was much more light into our yard while maintaining a natural look to the trees. Our backyard privacy was not compromised despite the amount of branches removed. Very thoughtful removals of the branches. I was called the NEXT DAY to ensure everything was done to my satisfaction. I had some minor issues but Steve fixed them right away and I was very happy with the final price of the project. Customer service is very important to me and I was very happy with this company, both with their follow-up and their tree work. read more

May 31,2012 Bill Hodgson Woodinville, WA Tree Removal by Arbor Magic Tree Service 130 ft pole fir died. Berl from Arbor Magic was canvasing the area on the Memorial day weekend. He told me what Arbor would do to remove the tree and estimated the net cost, date, chipping, drop, cut rounds, have another business remove all the tree remains. I searched the net for all the specifics for Arbor as well as Service Magic's suggestions. after about 5 hours of research, I called Berl and okayed the work. Arbor came out at 7:50am 2 days after ok for job, with 4 man crew and 2 hours later they had the tree in rounds ready for pickup. John showed up about 1 hour later and after 4 hours the tree rounds were gone. The people are excellent and friendly. Price is very reasonable and the crew cleans up after themselves. read more

Count me as a satisfied customer. Our trees now look great. Steve and his entire crew are first-class pros who did a great job from start to finish. Dan clearly explained what needed to be done and how they would carry out the work. Arbor Magic is the perfect example of why it makes sense to hire a locally owned business that works hard to earn your trust and do an excellent job. Our backyard is filled with tall trees, and we always found huge downed branches strewn about the yard after every storm. The first windstorm following our tree trimming left only found a few small branches on the ground. That reinforced my belief that we chose the right company to do the work. read more

Steve, the owner of the company, trimmed our very large and overgrown privacy hedge. He used a combination of mechanical saws and hand held clippers, and he spent 6 hours on the job. The result was amazing. Steve is very professional and a pleasure to work with. read more

Arbor Magic did an amazing job cleaning up our backyard. They were able to do a crown cleaning, chop down and haul away a few dead trees and trim back and prune several overgrown trees and bushes. They were reasonably priced and showed up on time. Would definitely use them again! read more

We recently hired Arbor Magic to remove about 20 trees from our property. That included the removal of a very large fir tree. It was a big job spanning four days including stump grinding. They showed up exactly when they said they would and were incredibly polite and considerate. It is clear from the final work they were working toward the vision we discussed. They did an amazing job. There was one item that was a very reasonable misunderstanding. Rather than nit-pick with us, they without hesitation said they would honor our understanding. It was a move of tremendous integrity. There are many tree service companies around, and we have used many of them in the past. Arbor Magic has earned our trust and business for as long as we live here. read more

I am impressed by the quality of service of Arbor Magic Tree. We scheduled a tree pruning services for the trees in my backyard. There is one tree that is at the boundary of my house and my neighbor house. Since there was a trailer in my neighbor house, the crew said that they will only prune the tree on my side and they will come back on another day to prune the tree on my neighbor side after the trailer get moved. Then Alex helped scheduling their return trip to finish the remaining work. I like how they take safety of my house and my neighbor house seriously and are willing to do extra work to make sure that. Also, the crew was also doing their good work of pruning the branches and clean them up. read more

A few weeks ago a tree fell on our house. I found Arbor Magic on yelp and liked their high user ratings. Within two hours there was a person at my house assessing the damage and scheduling the removal. They were there the next day and remove the fallen tree and cut the rounds into fire size pieces and hauled out everything I didn't want. They were cooperative with my insurance company and even came back subsequently to finish work they had promised. I recommend Arbor Magic great people. read more

I've had very good experiences with Arbor Magic. A recent windstorm damaged one of my trees leaving it a dangerous condition. Steve came out quickly to assess the tree and got me in their busy schedule. The crew was professional and friendly. They removed the tree and cleaned up the branches. Their prices are very competitive. I will hire them again if needed. read more

These guys are pros! Setting up the initial appointment was quick and easy. They arrived on time and provided a fair price and a thorough consultation. They were able to do the work in less than two weeks. When they arrived, their crew was quick and efficient and removed three small trees and trimmed 6 others plus our hedge. My wife paid them in full upon completion. When I came home, I noticed they missed one branch that was on our neighbor's property that was touching my gutter. I called Devin that night and he had a team out the next day to take care of the one limb. That is outstanding service in today's busy climate. This is a very well run company! read more

Great job by all. Super fast and a good attitude from everyone. I would definitely recommend them
