    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    They removed our large dead saguaro and cleaned off the skeleton so that we could keep it :) response and job were extremely efficient.

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

They showed up when scheduled and worked long days, six days a week to complete both projects in a timely and most professional manner.

Their work is top notch in every aspect. While removing the existing irrigation system and accent lighting in preparation for turf installation, they corrected almost 20 years of patchwork installations and repairs. Everything now works perfectly. The pergola is perfect and fits the property as if originally designed for it. Completes the backyard and adds a spectacular design dimension.

His team was so good that I replaced my existing landscape maintenance company with his team.

This moves the water away from the house and gives it a place to go.

    I have been wanting turf in my backyard for quite some time, basically since I purchased the home…read morein 2023. Having two large dogs, it was a waste having a yard as big as mine as it was made entirely of desert rock. The previous owner had it done this way for the purpose of keeping it cheap and keeping it low maintenance during the years he lived here. Over the last few years after I purchased it, I got 3 quotes from 3 different companies to do a section of turf. I never committed to a company to do it because I didn't feel confident they could deliver what I wanted. Fast forward to two weeks, I met with Sean from Turf Monsters. After hearing my vision for the yard, he was quick about getting me their quote on the same day. Not only that, but he had an extensive knowledge of the kinds of turf they had that would fit my yard best, the process of whole installation, how to maintain it, etc. It wasn't a hard choice; I chose them to do my turf project feeling confident they would handle the job well. And did they ever! At my request, they managed to get my installation scheduled earlier than originally planned. Materials were dropped off and installers showed up as scheduled on the day they began. Every single encounter during the installation was professional and friendly. It took less than the original two-day quote for the 25'x30' area, the three man installation team finishing in only one day. And it turned out better than I had imagined it to! The bright green turf looks stunning with the original rock landscape against it. And the dogs are beyond happy with it, running around and wrestling on it, but also relaxing on it too as it doesn't get super hot in the sun. I've received so many compliments on it from neighbors and friends that have seen it, saying it completely changed the entire backyard for the better. I highly recommend this team to execute your turf desires! A job well done!

I paid to have brand new turf installed because I was told my existing turf needed to be replaced due to visible seams. After the job was completed, the new turf still has seams, which defeats the entire reason I agreed to replace it in the first place. I also paid for a completely new irrigation system, but it appears that it was never actually replaced. Many of the sprinklers still have the same old sprinkler heads and tops, yet the company insists the system was replaced. The visible evidence suggests otherwise. Additionally, I paid for repairs to my fire pit, and within three days the structure was already cracked again. The professionalism on-site was also lacking. During the job, the crew took a break for about an hour sitting on our personal lawn chairs and didn't even bother to put them back, and they left trash and debris behind when they finished. What's most frustrating is that I've reached out multiple times to have these issues addressed, and each time I've been pushed aside, given excuses, or told things that simply aren't true. At this point I feel like I paid a significant amount of money for work that was not completed as promised and was poorly executed. Overall, this has been a very frustrating experience, and unfortunately I cannot recommend this company to others. Update. The owner has informed us that we will be receiving a refund that should have arrived today. If course it did not arrive, not is he answering any attempts to reconcile. This shows how crooked he is.
