We were blessed to hire Jon from Evolve to repair our irrigation system. He was knowledgable, very skilled and efficient, and determined to address every issue our old system had developed. The cost was very reasonable and spelled out clearly on the invoice. Our system is working great. We are very happy with the overall experience and would highly recommend Evolve and Jon. read more

I hired Evolve in the Spring of 2021 for my lawn maintenance. Sometime between October 1st and November 11th, an employee mowing hit a drainage pipe on my back lot causing damage. As result of the damage, I now have a constant flow of water coming from the broken pipe. It was determined by Polk County officials it was a drainage pipe and not a sewer pipe as Evolve claimed. Evolve initially denied all responsibility for the damage alleging the real damage was caused by tree roots breaking the pipe. I hired an independent plumber to assess the damage. He determined the broken pipe had been hit by a lawn mower by examining the pieces of pipe which had been left on the ground. Polk County officials also came to the same conclusion. Evolve said the only way they would repair the damage was if I agreed to pay for the repairs. Repairs began December 13th and ended December 14th with Evolve installing a 3 FOOT ABOVE GROUND TEAL COLORED 6 INCH PIPE WITH A WHITE CAP. I advised the above ground pipe was a complete eyesore in my nicely wooded backyard as the original pipe was buried underground. I was furious with the results, and advised if they wanted payment they would have to fix it to my satisfaction. I was told the only way it would be repaired underground was to bring in heavy equipment to dig which they said couldn't be done. After several heated telephone conversations with the impertinent office manager Jillian Bustos, I received an email on December 15th from Jillian advising Evolve was voiding their invoice of $345, and "as result will discontinue doing business with you effective immediately". Adding insult to injury, she suggested I cover the pipe with a trellis, plant material, shell cover or spray paint the pipe to blend in with its surroundings. The saga continues as today I received a telephone call from an attorney Evolve retained to collect what I allegedly still owed them for the repair work they botched. As soon as I informed their attorney I had an email from Evolve stating they had voided their invoice, he advised he would be closing his file on this matter. Then he rudely hung up on me without saying thank you or goodbye. Evolve and their attorney have a lot to learn about being polite and good manners. Nice try Evolve, but you will never see another shiny penny from me ever. You are extremely unprofessional walking away from the mess you made, refusing to make it right and then trying to intimidate me with your attorney. You need to hire a new office manager as the one you have is going to kill your business with her mouth and attitude. read more

Evolve came to review my landscape wishes and then create a plan. The guy was friendly but did not appear to hear a thing I was looking for - a landscape of varying height and color. He prescribed a bush only of equal height and only green and exactly what was in the neighbor's yard that I did NOT want. They said they would send photos as part of the free quote but took additional "asks" to get this. The estimate was for $1250. They wanted $200 to install 6 pieces of sod, $300 to do weeding (that my regular guy does for $50), $150 to drop about 8 bags of mulch, then $600 for the new plants. I found another landscaper who did it all under $500. They do have a great reputation but apparently for those where money is no object. I had them also estimate a concrete job. They also estimated a neighbor's job. Though we both had the need to remove the same amount of cement, my estimate was $1200 and theirs was $600. I was so shocked I never followed up on "why". The company scared me out on the dollar issues not "competence". read more

I was building a pool and a pool company got behind. Evolve worked with me in postponing all my landscaping and irrigation with no problem at all. They are easy to work with and did a great job. read more

Evolve Contracting - Tree Services Near Me - Bartow, Florida

We just ended a very frustrating experience with having Evolve maintain our lawn. We chose Evolve because they advertised that they would inspect our irrigation on a quarterly basis. Not once over the couple of years did they proactively schedule the inspection. We had to call them every time and ask them to come out. Then the people they sent knew no more than me about making repairs and they did not know how to work my timer...I had to turn on each zone for them. If a repair was needed, they were generally not interested or did not know how to make the repair. On several occasions, they damaged trees or shrubs. When I called about it, the office personnel blamed me for having trees too close to the grass. The final straw came when they did major damage to my fence and refused to pay for the repair. While searching for a new lawn contractor, we learned that others have the same type of complaints. Very disappointed in their skills and especially their lack of customer care. read more

Two trees fell on our house during Hurricane Irma. After an uninspiring experience with another service provider, we talked with Evolve. They were professional and knowledgeable. They provided an estimate to our insurance agent, who later told me that the way they did the quote made it easy to deal with. We found Lakeland Electric to be completely unhelpful in getting a power line disconnected, and Evolve worked around the problem (no, they didn't disconnect or damage the line) and got the trees off the roof without causing further damage to the house. They cleaned up the mess and put the tree parts by the street for pickup. They did exactly what they promised quickly, efficiently, and safely. Jillian, in the office, was very responsive to every question and request. I would absolutely recommend them as professional and trustworthy. read more
