    Before #1 - The image features a tall saguaro cactus with multiple arms, positioned in a gravel-covered desert landscape. Surrounding the cactus are smaller desert plants, including agave and other succulents, with rocks scattered on the ground. In the background, there are residential houses with tiled roofs and a clear sky with a few contrails. The scene depicts a typical desert suburban environment with xeriscaping and drought-tolerant plants.

    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 - A tall saguaro cactus with multiple arms and visible holes in its trunk is positioned in a desert setting. The cactus shows signs of damage or disease, with a portion of its lower trunk appearing charred or decayed. Surrounding the cactus are other smaller cacti and desert vegetation, with a clear blue sky overhead. The shadow of the cactus is cast on the ground, and a rock and a fire hydrant are visible nearby, indicating a landscaped area within a residential neighborhood.

    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.

    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!

    So my cactus didn't do good after replanting. I called them and they refunded my money.

    Claudia gave me a price and made sure I understood that the cactus would need to be cut back before it could be replanted.

    Francis came to our rescue!! We moved into a home that was being remodeled for a few years and the…read moreyard had ZERO water or care during that time. That said, the massive backyard (a main reason we bought the house) was basically 100% weeds. The nasty, prickly kind that stuck to our sheepdog. They were so bad, that we didn't think spraying would do the trick. My husband found Francis on Yelp and gave him a call. He gave us SO much advice over the phone (like 2-3 calls) at no charge and sent us his landscaper to talk options. We decided to hire him and have him in on the plan since we really wanted to make our backyard right. Together, the 4 of us came up with a plan (till, level, sprinkler system, bermuda seed) and after 3 weeks, our grass is looking AMAZING!!! Next, we'll have Francis help us come up with a plant plan for the perimeter of the yard. He also pinned + trained a climbing bougainvillea to our front wall (which is a huge focal point/adds curb appeal to our home). Lastly, he fertilized our plants. Watering questions? He knows the answer. Plants that will thrive in AZ questions? He knows the answer. Basically, he is a pro and we're listening to everything that he says! We're so grateful for all of his guidance during this process and can't wait to have a backyard oasis in no time!
