I would suggest ignoring the 1-Star review of Tony, esp. given how that person has given 20+…read more"1-star" reviews out of 23! We live in the North End of Tacoma and met Tony after watching him for months reliably and skillfully caring for our neighbor's yard. We have now used him reliably now for years! Our yard always looks absolutely beautiful once Tony can care for it again each Spring. He installed an underground sprinkler system in both the front & back yard, and also a much-needed French drain next to our detached garage. He is extremely experienced and his quotes on lawn care plus any extra jobs are always reasonably priced. I cannot imagine why the 1-star review as Tony Van Tran and his wife/crew are probably the most reliable, skilled, and hard-working yard maintenance contractor we've ever had. That goes for my neighbor too!

First Chris stood me up on our walk-through meeting. But we spoke over the phone and he assured me…read morethat if I marked the trees for pruning we'd be okay, he'd be there to get his crew started. But he wasn't. And they did a terrible job. They cut a third off of the top of the wrong tree, an aspen, although it wasn't marked for pruning and I had told them they were pruning fruit trees! They did the entire job with a chain saw, even branches smaller than a pencil. It left the bark pulled back and frayed (like they yanked off the branches that hadn't been severed by the chainsaw). And, the weird part, they did no actual pruning. They cut off height, but did no pruning for shape, no pruning for light or air filtration. All the little suckers and shoots that go straight up and bare no fruit remain. I called and explained what had happened. At first Chris was apologetic. He offered to have his crew come out and fix it. I told him I didn't feel comfortable with that. But I told him he should come out and see it. He pushed back hard, and accused me of scolding him (Chris, that's super sexist... I wasn't scolding you, I was holding you accountable to the high quality of professionalism that you claim in your website.) He was defensive but I tried to keep it constructive. Against my better judgement we decided that he and his crew would meet me this afternoon to fix what damage was fixable. And he said, clearly, that he'd be there. I texted him that I'd be 10 minutes late but that I was on my way, and he replied with a curt text that he'd worked "very hard" to get his crew there at 2:30 so "please be there at that time". And it was clear that Chris wouldn't be there. Of course, after I rushed home and arrived at 2:45 there was no one. The cost of this? $450 was the estimate. Chris said he'd "knock off some" for the damage. I don't know what it will be, and I'll pay it, because I want nothing else to do with them. I almost never write Yelp reviews but I've never felt so compelled to warn future customers. It sounds like they do fine with big take down jobs. It doesn't seem that they know what a fruit tree is.

Hi everyone- I live in Black Diamond, WA, and I bought a new construction home. The backyard was…read morea blank canvas. I contacted Premier and we spoke with Amanda. She saw our vision and expanded on it. She had such many great ideas/insight about design. The project itself took a bit longer than anticipated, but that can be attributed to weather, smaller crew, and supply chain. The outcome was worth it! I was able to see the progress day-to-day and I saw the QUALITY of the work. Premier all of the hardscape and landscaping that you see in the photos: trex, bushes, and rock. Amanda had to not only work with the city permits but work with my HOA, whose members are NOT up-to-date on construction, so she had to also educate them on their policies, and construction in's and outs-- very frustrating, so I'm glad she did it so I didn't have to! Ha ha! Thank you, Amanda for your support and hard work!

We needed a tree removed and sod replacement for my dad's entire yard. The dead original sod was almost 6 inches above ground. They removed the tree, rock and stone inlays and removed all the old sod. They laid a high quality sod down and trimmed perfectly. The new lawn looks stunning and makes the house look beautiful! They communicated daily during work and quickly answered any question. I was so impressed and stunned by quality that I hired them for my own home. Their work is taken very seriously and with a care for the client that has almost disappeared these days! I advise all my friends, neighbors, and those reading this review to call Amanda at Premier Landscaping. You will not be disappointed, only impressed!
