My multiple encounters with Cory (owner) always leave me realizing how little I know about trees and their proper care. Shadetree's sensitivity to surrounding trees/structures transcends average tree companies and offers the customer with an experience that raises the bar on professionalism. Leaving the worksite in a state that is as minimally disturbed as is physically possible is just one of their shining perks. Can't recommend enough.

Do you want everything including "the kitchen sink?" They'll let you know about the condition of all your trees, what limbs look if-ey and provide you with an estimate. But (and this is me) do you only want to know what HAS TO BE DONE now, what is actually dead now and going to fall during the next storm? They'll diagnose that and provide a price that is more than competitive than all the other tree companies in Cville. I looked at numerous tree services (I've done your homework for you)-- Blue Ridge Tree Service came out on top. Customer Service, price, efficiency - Blue Ridge came out on top.

I called several Tree Service companies around C'Ville to help me clear my lot, and Alex was the…read moreonly one who responded the same day. He was also the only person who promptly emailed me an estimate. He looked at the property within the next few days and we scheduled a date for the work, which he completed on time and on budget. It was a ton of work. All in all, he was reliable, on time, and his crew was excellent. Will use again in the future.

And the nice personnel left my place as they said they like to do... "better than when they found it" sweeping up debris that went far beyond their job!

When they were felling the trees they dropped a large number of the trees on my property and damaged it . They never asked for permission to come onto my property or if they could drop the trees on my property. This is a very bad business practice.

Dyer's tree service is not your typical tree service. Dyer doesn't see every tree as needing to be…read moretaken down. They are in the business of saving trees. Last year I thought I had three white oaks that were on their way out. Dyer came in assess the situation, and said no, the canopy just needs to be raised so that the top of the tree could get some nutrients. They also follow ALL wildlife laws. I had two trees with squirrel dreys in them and he would not touch those trees. Now a year later all my white oaks are fuller and happier. I have two that need some insect protection. So Dyer said they would come back and apply a systemic mixture to help keep the tree strong so it can combat the inserts. I will always use Dyers from now on. And their pricing is really reasonable! They do an excellent clean up. Best part they're all family members!

After giving an OK for a charge to my credit card, Dyer's Tree Service overcharged my credit card…read moreby $1,495. They planted 4 Dogwood trees 8 ft apart in an area that gets total full sun when Dogwoods need shade and should be 15-20 ft apart. They planted the trees with the burlap still covering the roots. Worse, they claim to be ISA certified aborists but after weeks they still have not given me their certified aborist number. In fact they hung up on me when I last asked.

I was looking for organic compost for my vegetable garden and needed it delivered. There are…read moreseveral mulch companies within the Lake Monticello area and this one delivers a minimum of 1 cubic yard where others had a 3 cy minimum which was way too much. Business is family run and friendly service. They delivered the next day and said if I wasn't home - just to mark the area (put a bucket in the driveway) of where I wanted the compost dropped. I went to their location to look, touch and smell the compost before buying. The compost is rich, no weed seeds, no weird smells, perfectly fluffy for my vegetable garden. Even though I usually use vermiculite in my compost - I didn't have time to drive to Waynesboro to buy several big bags - I thought I would give it a try and plant seedlings direct in the compost - along with worm castings and Azomite. I layered cardboard, fall leaves, and peat moss - then topped it with the compost. My seedlings began sprouting within days, no problems with the compost getting hard when wet - I LOVE THIS COMPOST - I don't "need" another yard - but I could use a little more and considering the time and cost of buying bags of so-called garden soil at the big box store, it was not only cost efficient for me to buy the compost from Monticello Mulch & Landscaping, but it saved my back and multiple trips to the store - with one delivery I was able to fill 4 raised beds (4x8ft - 3" topped) with a little left over for some potting and seed starters. I highly recommend the organic compost at Monticello Mulch. They have several other mulch and landscaping rock, pepples and sand. Photos are on their website. There's a lesser charge if you pick it up yourself vs having it delivered. If you live in the Lake Monticello area, there's no extra delivery charge. I'm glad I went with them as you never know until you grow!

I had someone that was going to deliver a few yards on Christmas Eve evening, but he has to cancel that morning. I called some places, but no one was open (understandably!). I called Monticello Mulch and spoke with the kindest woman (Mrs. Patterson), who explained they were also closed to celebrate Christmas with their Grandchildren. She asked what I needed and I explained. She told me to come down and she was sending someone to the yard to meet us. They even mixed up a perfect mix for him, since they knew it was for his garden. Mrs. Patterson said she refused to let my 4 year olds only Christmas wish of dirt not come true. They went above and beyond for us and for my 4 year old, AND it's the best topsoil dirt I have ever seen!! Please go see these folks all of your landscaping needs!

After over a year of using Acres Landscaping, I'm finding myself holding one of Crozet's best kept…read moresecrets, close to my grass. It's time to open a fresh cut review for them. First and foremost, you are here trying to find a landscaper who has incredible knowledge minus the cheese car sales-man Carl showing up at your house, trust me, I know, and it has been a feat. I've used multiple landscapers and I have found they always have a way to "upsell" me. I was exhausted over the pitches, disappointed in the lack of follow up, and questioning their pricing and tactics. Silly grasshoppers.. The grass is truly greener with Acres Landscaping,.. He is extremely detail-oriented, honest, and his follow up is impeccable. His prices are fair, he listens to your needs, and then actually delivers on them. Acres Landscaping is full service. You name it, he'll do it: mow and trim, blow your driveway and walkways (you can't forget about this detail), knock down the spider webs around your front door like a junior fireman with in the web of Spider-Man was chasing him (literally), remove and dispose of thorn bushes, and questionable vines. Mitch, who is patient, listens to the needs of what I see, and guides and gives me feedback on the things I have no idea about. For example; I was looking at the leaves still on my yard after winter ( asking for "spring clean up" ). Totally forgetting how we had prepped with mulch and trimming at the end of fall and feeling so reassured that a quick run over the yard will naturally compost the yard and look beautiful for us!! Next, I felt it was such a 'blade' of delight on how he never pressures me to change things and will guide over time to allow things to fit a budget. I have some bare grass spots, and he had listened to my concerns, gave me wonderful options in a range of price points and reassured me in landing the recommendations in an email for me. Finally, he has always anticipated the grassy needs, while placing the stacks of green aside. Last summer, due to it being so dry, he did not just "stick to the schedule". Instead, he communicated with me, let me know he didn't feel there was a need ( nothing was growing ), and kindly circled back in follow up in the weeks afterward. Could he have charged me? Yes. Could he have stuck to the schedule? Yes. Fact is, he didnt, not for one week, but for THREE. Mitch is the man with the plan. His timing, creativity and effort are beyond measure, each and every time! Never leaving anything less than perfection. He's meticulous in his detail of attending to all things landscaping. May your green blades of glory soar to new grassy fullness in their confidence of having Acres Landscaping by their side. Your grass will fly sky high and give your neighbors envy while they stand there in awe.
