a cactus in a garden
P J.

We had a huge saguaro that started to lean. Charlie and crew were amazing! He gave us options and expert opinion on our "grand daddy" 100year guy. You can't go wrong hiring this company to diagnose and take care of your saguaros. Very impressed!

AZ Cactus Experts did a great job straightening, securing, and saving our saguaro. Claudia responded quickly, gave a fair price estimate, and what to expect on the job. She also got me scheduled for only 2 days later. Chali and his crew showed up on time, did an overall inspection (including the roots), and pronounced our saguaro in good health, just over-watered (my fault). They installed braces (painted to match) and strap with carpet. He also gave me advice on how to care for our saguaro and other cacti going forward. I highly recommend this business!

Here is our saguaro when we moved into our house in January 2021. Healthy and strong

They care about the cacti and they do good work. The workers were here today, in 112° temps removing our old cactus who gave up after the extreme weather this year. They cleaned up after themselves and my yard looks better than before our saguaro started falling apart.

20' - 25' Saguaro showing the damage to its trunk
Jeanette R.

Contacted AZ Cactus Experts after my Saguaro started weeping black sap that went from barely noticeable to huge in the matter of a few weeks. After doing some research, I knew it was most likely going to mean removing the cactus after learning about what causes that. After thinking I got ghosted after approving their quote, Claudia got back to me after a few days explaining she had emergency surgery that had her down for a few days, which was totally understandable. On Wednesday, she said they had an opening for today (Saturday) at 4:30 and they showed up at exactly 4:30. That set a positive tone for their visit, as one of my pet peeves is when businesses don't show up when they say they will. I hope I didn't offend them by sitting outside and watching, but it was cool to watch how they did it. If only I had known back when I took some other cacti down myself, what I know now, it would have been so much easier. The guys got to work right away, laying tarps down around the Saguaro, before they started taking it down, arm by arm. Considering I wasn't sure it was going to remain standing until today with how bad it had started to lean, the trunk sure gave them a fight, but they got it down and when they began poking it, there was way more rot inside than I ever expected to see, proving just how amazing it was that didn't fall over after how bad this summer was for Saguaros. It took less than 90 minutes for the two guys to get it taken down and everything cleaned up. If you didn't know it was there, you'd never know when they left that they were even here. They filled in the hole and cleaned everything up. I am super impressed and am glad I didn't decide to go with a different company when I wasn't getting a response. They were the cheapest of the four quotes I got, but the earliest date the second cheapest company could give me was 11/5. If I had any other cacti, they'd be the one I'd call again if I needed anything. Really nice people to work with.

Chali and his coworker did a GREAT job this morning! Took them less than 2 hours from start through cleanup. It was so interesting to watch. He explained everything he was going to do and answered all our questions. Thank you to you and your team for being so responsive to our needs. I will recommend you to anyone who needs your services.

The Shaqtus
J M.

Do not hesitate - call Claudia and Chali. Short story: we lost a large arm on our beloved +30' saguaro (dubbed "The Shaqtus") and were devastated. Though not a native, I knew to save the wood from the arm and a friend coached me on how to do it, but after a feeble attempt, I gave up --I knew I needed an expert. A quick search had me comparing about 5 different companies in the valley but in the end I chose AZ Cactus Experts because their site was modern, clean and informative. That first impression was quickly matched by the fast email response I got from Claudia who was friendly, answered my questions and made it easy to book an appointment. On the day of, she called ahead of the crew's arrival to let me know they would be their earlier and would that be ok? It was and the crew arrived right on the new time. Chali and his assistant rang the bell and by the time I got to the door they were already setup and ready to start. Chali assessed the health of my cactus, said the arm was likely broken but could probably be salvaged and told me what other problems to watch out for to keep my saguaro healthy --very helpful indeed. Chali's sincerity while speaking about how to care for the cactus convinced me he was not about the buck but about preserving the beauty of the desert, which is exactly the type of experience I was looking for. He also looked at the other cactus on my property and gave me pro tips for caring for them properly so we can continue to enjoy our desert landscaped home. He quickly went to work in the 113F heat and in about 20-30 mins the wood appeared. The arm was cracked but he took extra care to not break it any further, saving the arm! He did a thorough job cleaning up, moved the heavy arm into my backyard and with a smile, was on his way. I _HIGHLY_ recommend AZ Cactus Experts!

Rotting saguaro that was ready to fall on its own.

See all

Jake, Jorge, and the entire team were fantastic from start to finish. As remote owners, dependability and communication were extremely important to us. They showed up when they said they would, did what they said they were going to do, communicated with us constantly, and most importantly, finished the project on time. Anyone who has done a major construction project in the Valley knows how rare that can be. Communication was top-notch throughout the entire project. They responded quickly whenever we had a question, request, or change and made managing such a large project remotely much easier than we expected. Camelback Hardscapes is not the cheapest option, but after going through a project of this size with them, they are absolutely worth every penny. The quality, reliability, communication, and execution set them apart. They are truly one-of-a-kind and the only company we would want to go back to for future outdoor projects.

But I didn't find out till later when the planter box was all flooded like a lake and overflowing like a river to the street. I found the broken PVC right where I instructed his worker to plant an agave fior me. When I told Isaiah's TFH Landscaping that his worker broke the sprinkler line, ISAIAHs said he would send the worker over to do the repair in a couple days which Isaias said was Tuesday, the worker never showed up. When I called him to say the worker never showed up he said he would come in a couple days and he personally will come and be there. Well Isaias never showed up. What's worse is he used to answer the phone on the first ring and was "always there for me" and even said "You know I am always here for you and I answer the phone". But after he didn't show up two times he wasn't answering the phone anymore .... ever. I left many, many messages telling Isaias I was disappointed that not only does he not show up to do the repair that his worker broke, but he deliberately is ghosting me for weeks. He sees from caller ID it is me calling for him to repair something he damaged (I sent pictures of the hacked irrigation pipe in the hole where the agave got blown outta there from the broken line), so he deliberately does not answer the phone ever again to BE THERE FOR MEEEEE, like he told me previously. That deserves 1 Yelp star. So you think I'm going to do business with him if he doesn't even answer the phone ever? Someone told me "because they don't get paid to repair their mistakes and have to take time out from already paying jobs to go to a job that doesn't pay. I never spoke to Isaias again because he didn't care to come back ad fix the broken pipe his worker hacked to pieces. That deserves 1 Yelp star don't you think? I have a new landscaper who has many solid 5 Yelp stars, and so far he has shown up every time I needed him, right on time, even when he squeezed me in. But I have no experience if he will show up to fix something he didn't do right, because nothing like that has happened so far.
