I've been using this company for several years to trim my trees. Kathy is very responsive, gives me reasonable estimates, and gets the job done. Yesterday I had them cut a tree way (way) back and they did an amazing job. I couldn't be there at the end but it was all cleaned up perfectly. read more

The absolute worst woman in the world to deal with watch out never hire this fucking liar,cheat. Never shows up on time never has materials never has anybody to do the work out on a construction site and her flip-flops extremely unprofessional to deal with read more

Kathy was very responsive, and was able to resolve several problems with both of our sprinkler systems (front, and back yard). She had us back up and working great just days before we were scheduled to leave town. We returned to perfect yards, thanks to Kathy and her team! read more

We had a major remodel project and Kathy did a variety of work. Her crews did major clean-up work and when they finished everything, whether it was interior work or exterior construction debris, the place was left immaculate. We used her crew for tree trimming, a retaining wall, pathways, and sod. All excellent work. Her name is at the top of my contact list for future projects. read more

BE WARNED! Our family hired this circus and quickly regretted it. They showed up with cousins, nephews, and other children to get advanced type of work accomplished. Lots of unreturned calls, no shows, and broken promises. Wished we would have looked at reviews first. We made the big mistake of making the 2nd and last payment before the job was completed as well. They had a palm tree that needed to be finished and blew us off for months. We ended up having to send a demand letter threatening small claims. Owner Kathy made a big promise and again flaked. We ended up having to hire someone else to finish their job and haul away what they agreed to dispose of. Kathy is a total manipulative salesperson and will convince you she's a pro and has the team to get it done. It's a joke and illusion, trust me. Mark these words: She'll tell you someone on the job got hurt, or some family issues are happening, or 1 of 50 other excuses on why things aren't moving along and getting completed. Don't risk having this circus roaming your property, it's too big of a liability. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they had all kinds of claims against homeowners policies for their workers who I'm sure we're not US citizens (which we personally don't really care about but that could be an issue for you). Problem is you're not seeing all the players up front and I think they wing it to the point where they're hiring random people they have no relationship with to complete parts of their jobs. And when you have people high up in trees, that's a potential problem for you if that's the first time they've dealt with that person as a "sub" hire. End story, we lost lots of time and money AND she never stepped up to make it right ever, just blocked our numbers it seemed (she answered a random other number we used) but never ours. Then, that number never got an answer again. Yes, expect to have to chase them down to enforce whatever agreement you've come to. IF (and I'd highly advise you against it) you literally have no other options but to hire these people, I wouldn't pay one dime up front and I'd have an agreement for them to sign with completion dates and disclaimers that they agree that they can't/won't make any claims against your homeowner's policy, that they're providing workers comp to any and every single person that is on your property at their request etc. etc. But expect it to be "messy" and there are simply too many other gardening companies to choose from in my humble opinion. read more

Kathy and her team came in and made my landscape dream a reality. She suggested ideas that I never thought of, fixed a drain issue, completed a beautiful retaining wall, built a beautiful stone area for water run off and stained my redwood decks. It took a long time to find someone like her, I had interviewed many people/companies and they did not seem to know what I wanted. Kathy is so genuine and cares. Her team cleans up and are very considerate when you are home. Thank you Kathy, you are my go to person for all my yard, landscape and home needs. read more

We have used this company twice. The first time a tree stump came rolling down our hill and through a window. The second time two dudes we irresponsibly trimming our tree, it came crashing down ruining the steps on our hill as well as the fence in between the neighbors house and ours. It's been almost two months and the steps have not been finished nor have we heard from the owner. If you don't believe me, my entire neighborhood has used this company and can give you more stories. I hate bashing people on this, but this has happened too many times with this lady for me to not give out a courtesy warning. read more
