As an off island owner, I appreciate their responsiveness and photos of the work when it was done. I never knew when the previous company would be on-site and would get invoices months later, so I didn't know if the work was actually done. So sending photos of my yard work after completion is a small gesture but something I really appreciate. Their work always looks great and my tenants have never complained.

Ashton's Landscape and Tree Service have provided excellent work for me on a number of projects…read more Most recently I wanted to have a site excavated and a big tree brought in and planted. I was happy to learn that Ashton had landscape construction knowledge, and had worked with the wholesale nursery before, and had the equipment and crew to get the whole project done. Most importantly, they were willing to take it on, even with scheduling picking up and delivering the mature tree from Hilo. It was impressive to watch it all happen. Because my yard is solid bluestone under a few inches of dirt, two machines were brought in to excavate a 3 foot deep, 5 foot diameter hole. Then the 85 gallon tree was delivered, and with entire crew involved, the tree was artfully maneuvered into place and planted. The tree is healthy and happy and I am enjoying the much needed shade. I couldn't be happier with the excellent and professional service and expertise.

After about 30 minutes, during which I figured they were just setting up their tree rigging, I was surprised to find that they had almost finished trimming one of the trees, just using hand tools. They took everything down so that we could see much better sunlight in the area where the panels will go, stacked up the cuttings neatly, right where I had requested and we're done quickly and quietly. An excellent job and the quietest tree work we've ever had. Thank you.

I called Backyard Monkey and they came up to take a look and gave me an estimate. The day was scheduled and I got a phone call saying that they arrived. I didn't even need to be there! The TEAM did such a professional job, cleaned up after themselves and left me with a nice pile of woodchips in my yard - as requested. Equipment tracks were at a minimal. I smile every time I go home seeing a clean fence line with no trees leaning over the powerlines. It was well worth it! I highly recommend their services. MAHALO BACKYARD MONKEYS for your Good Work!!

Fantastic service and quality work from father and son team, Raymond and Bryson…read more We needed a lot of ugly deep roots from a previous ground crawling plant in the front yard to be cleaned up. Gave Ray from RNB a call to come by to check it out and get an estimate to cleaning up those nasty roots and make an evenly slope with gravel. He came in no time and gave me a good estimate for the front yard and also a drainage problem in the driveway area. Scheduled, there was good communication through out the process. He was easy to talk to, they do solid efficient work. Two days later it was all done and very satisfied with the end result. Will be recommending for sure.

Outstanding Landscaping & Hardscape Work -- RNB Land Services (Hilo / Big Island)…read more Ray (the owner) and his crew at RNB Land Services have been absolutely incredible to work with. If you're looking for a reliable, professional landscaper in Hilo or on the Big Island, we highly recommend Ray. They completed three major phases of landscaping and hardscape work at our home in Pepeekeo, and the transformation has been amazing. Phase 1: Ray redesigned our front entrance and pool area with beautiful lava rock pavers, lava stone landscape edging, and lava rock gravel fill. He also selected outstanding tropical plants and vibrant ti leaves that made the whole space feel like a resort. Phase 2: They landscaped our driveway and gated entrance, adding great plantings, tall areca palms for privacy, and lining the driveway with elegant foxtail palms. The curb appeal is truly next level. Phase 3: Ray and his team planted over 75 areca palms along the edge of our property to create a lush privacy hedge, and it turned out even better than we hoped. Ray and his team were always professional, polite, and dependable, and they took great care to keep the work areas clean and tidy every day. Ray also gave us excellent advice on the best practices for both planting and hardscape, and he went out of his way to source the best-quality plants at the best prices. His quotes were accurate, fair, and very reasonable -- no surprises. If you need landscaping, hardscape, or property maintenance in the Hilo area, Ray and RNB Land Services are the real deal. We would hire them again in a heartbeat. Aloha, Greg and Nicki Darrow Pepeekeo, HI

Full Disclosure: I'm brother/brother in law of the company owners…read more Situation/Resolution: I was informed by our church we had a possible irrigation break and the water to the entire church was turned off at the County water meter along the road. The break was before the church so there were no other shut off valves. We wanted the repair to be made before the next Sunday's church service. I contacted Dawn and received a quote that same day. The very next day Keoni repaired the break with plenty of time to spare before Sunday. Review: I didn't receive special treatment because I'm related to Dawn and Keoni. This type of service is just indicative of how they run their business. I would call them any time I needed their services and would be met with professional service and quality work. Highly recommend.
