I inherited my large water oak when I bought my home, and little did I know that I inherited all its problems as well. In 2021, after Hurricane Ida, another company told me my tree was dying, but rather than explain what that meant, they gladly trimmed a few branches at the cost of an arm and a leg. 2 years later, while sitting in my backyard, a huge branch snapped and remained dangling above my neighbor's yard. I called Robert from Louisiana Tree Company, and he was at my house within 15 minutes on a Saturday. He diagnosed the problem - the tree was rotting and had lived to the end of its lifespan. By the end of the same day, he sent a quote and even offered to cut the dangling branch down the next day. He also offered to get all the branches off before hurricane season and take the trunk down after hurricane season, to ensure the branches didn't snap off during a storm and gave the option to make two separate (very reasonable) payments. Once I agreed, Louisiana Tree Company was out at my house at the time they said they would be and got the job done safely and perfectly in 5 hours. I have called many tree companies over the past 3 years, and most of them are flaky, give a quote, and never call back. This company is a cut above the rest!!

Thank you Robert! I…read moreHIGHLY recommend Robert and his crew at Louisiana Tree to anyone that needs a tree removed. Especially a tree that no one wanted to touch because it is between a power line, a swimming pool, a fence and a shed. Everyone backed away or over quoted us. Not Robert. He has a can - do super hero attitude. He has the confidence and experience to back it up. His quote was reasonable and he stayed in touch with us throughout the challenging process. First entergy had to come out to assess, that took about a week to get scheduled, then a first ever June hurricane decided to hit and pushed some jobs back, but Robert stayed on top of things and stayed in touch. He also emailed us his insurance info and certification. He is an arborist and licensed and he has no problem explaining everything. It took about 1.5 weeks for everything to be completed with all the crazy curve balls. His expert problem solving skills and dealing with such a dangerously located tree such as ours while keeping his sense of humor, remaining cool and professional throughout it all. His crew were equally brilliant and I am glad they weren't easily scared off to take on such a monster project. I couldn't have asked for better service. We are very pleased with the job they did and most of all - no one got hurt! Thank you, thank you, thank you! If I could give them 10 stars, I would.

Mark (the owner) is so sweet, and his variety of plants you can choose from make this place a must-visit if you're looking to add plants to your garden. His nursery feels like a beautiful forest garden. Bonus, some cute cats live there who may or may not let you give them some love too. He really focuses on bamboo plants, but he has a lot more to offer too if you're interested. I bought a gorgeous papyrus plant that I've never seen nor heard of and it's currently thriving on my patio. I love it so much, it's height makes it stand out a lot! I'll definitely have to go back for another visit when I need more plants. I got a few bamboo plants from Mark as well. He has several kinds of non-invasive bamboo that won't take over your whole yard. He says that you have to cut it down every once in a while to keep the growth manageable (as with most plants), but he's very knowledgeable and will give you specific instructions on care and management.

When we asked the guys to do some actual work -- remove plants that had died in the freeze months prior, trim hedges, weed, etc, we were told "not today-- I am trying to get to my sons baseball game". We expected the work requested would be finished the following week, but it never happened. They also overcharge. They charged us for something like 60 bags of mulch and 140 annuals planted. We did not need that much mulch nor were 140 annuals planted-- we counted. When we alerted Matt to our disappointment with the service we were receiving he said he would "check it out". We never heard back.

IF YOU HAVE HAD WORK DONE BY PONSETI & FEEL YOU WERE OVERCHARGED, PLEASE CONTACT ME ON FACEBOOK. We trusted this man to take our brand new assisted living home & do something special with it, he disregarded my ideas, did what he wanted to do, communicated poorly, & took advantage of us because it looked like we had a lot of money to spend. My wife & I own Audubon Care Homes Assisted Living & Memory Care. We own two small 10 resident assisted living homes in Metairie where we care for seniors who cannot care for themselves. I have lived in this community my entire life, I try to do business locally, & I try to be easy to do business with. Matthew was engaged to do the landscaping for one of the houses mentioned above that was just finishing construction & to refresh landscaping at our first location. In total, he has billed me for about $108,000. He has billed me incorrectly, inflated charges, tried to charge me $275 to meet to discuss what he planned on doing(twice, two charges), he has sent me statements with invoices on them that I have never ever seen, changed charges on at least one item, charged me for incorrect numbers of plants, almost missed the grand opening date for the home because he was not listening when I told him the date & gave him the flyer with the date on it. My experience with him is that he has been childish, unprofessional, argumentative, arrogant and claims his work & materials are far superior to anyone else in the area. I called around & got quotes for the work from other companies & they were literally half of the cost. The only reason i started to investigate my statements was because he invoiced me for 800 society garlic plants(only planted 116), 270 petunias(only 110), 45 & 50 bags of mulch for 'maintenance' that i did not authorize & that did not line up with the original mulch he put down at the houses (32 and 20 bags, respectively). He charged me at total of $13,990 for landscape lighting at one of the locations for front and backyard. Seriously? 14k? This was for a total of 40 lights & two transformers. He told me the lights each cost $90, so that is approx. $3600 in lights, call it $4500 with the transformers. How does this turn into $13,990? And I didn't even see the invoice months later when it just showed up on a statement. One statement he changed from $7440 to $16,865 & I didn't notice until I started going through each one individually, which at this point, has taken a total of 17 hours between sorting through the unorganized billing & invoices & statements. After close to 8 months he finally sent me paper invoices in the mail for me to review after i questioned his charges. Another invoice for $18,805, I knew nothing about until I noticed it on the statement. He also tried to charge me $170 to put fertilizer down at two houses. I can buy two years worth of fertilizer for that much. I told him before you do any additional maintenance type work, you need to let me know first so i know what the charge is before you start, but he failed to do so. He also removed a tree, then planted a massive patch of St. Aug grass where I had Zoysia grass. Since they do absolutely no weed control, i had to personally go to both houses, pull weeds & spray roundup because it was just out of control. The list goes on & on and on. What a nightmare. As far as maintenance work, his guys come for 10 minutes, weed eat a small patch of grass & don't touch the bushes or the weeds. All of the grass is now growing into the beds. How am I supposed to trust him that he puts down fertilizer & uses the quantities he says he uses when everything on my invoices is wildly incorrect. Don't take my word for it, see photos attached.
