    Specialize Tree Care & Landscape has provided seamless and professional service to us on an annual basis for the past 20 years. From the initial consultation to final cleanup, their expertise, punctuality, and pruning artistry are exceptional. We highly recommend them.

    There are ways to do business respectfully and there are not. This is the first negative review I have ever done and I stand by it 100%. I only hope it helps others choose a better company and avoid the experience I had with Specialized Tree Works. First, let me say I called this company for a half-day "yard clean-up". I was told they did these and was quoted IN WRITING $725. I was subsequently "up-sold" in person to hire the same two person crew for an entire day. We walked the property, I explained all areas I wanted to one day have addressed and the owner said that if I had his crew for the full day, all of these issues would be addressed and more. I was assured that "you will be looking for more for them to do by the end of the day" more than once. I then received two more estimates, one for a half and one for a full day. The half-day had increased to $1450 and the full day was $1850. The $1450 quote was for the exact same 8 items specified on the original $725 quote, with the $1850 quote only adding two more items. When I inquired as to all of these things, I was assured that the $1850 was the best way for me to go regardless and that if I did not use a credit card with additional fees, he would take another $75 off the price. I was also assured that one of the team members would be in communication with me during the day and speak English. Of the 10 line items specified in the "proposal", only half of what was promised was completed. Most importantly, the clean-up I originally came to them for was not done. Dead plants, bushes, trees were not removed, shrubs were not shaped or trimmed, the entire back area, driveway, and front slope were not touched. Moreover, they were even damaged by the half day focus on an oak tree that wasn't even in the proposal or a priority at all. I called mid-day (no response), and then asked the owner at 2pm when he finally stopped by as to my concerns and was assured they were "making their way" to what was on the proposal. I was not able to exchange even two words with the worker who supposedly spoke English, as he was in the trees most of the day, when the goal was cleanup. The most disheartening part of this experience was how my concerns were addressed in the end. After sending a detailed email as to my disaticefaction, I was told he felt they did nothing wrong and that he would come up the house to go over this with me. Not only did he NOT come, but missed two appointments which I took off work for and then finally sent his other manager Andrew. This was the most disrespectful interaction I have ever had upon sharing concerns on a job with anyone in my life. Not only was he dismissive, defensive, and abrasive when, in fact, he WAS NOT EVEN THERE, he dismissed all of the proposals as meaningless. He said that he didn't care or believe what I shared regarding his crew because he "knew them". He said that I wasn't charged enough four times, that I should have been additionally charged for dump fees (which were specifically included in both quoted fees), that all of the written details of what would be done meant nothing and that they were willing to do only ONE thing to rectify the situation: remove one large dead bush. To add insult to injury, when I said I would simply pay the total specified less the $75 by check, he said that I could only have that discount with cash, when we both knew it was not a cash issue but a credit card fee accommodation. As he was leaving, he then pretended to backpedal, asking if he could do anything else, and when asked again what that might be, he simply said again that I was actually given too good of a deal to begin with and he would have never quoted any of that to me. BUT THE OWNER DID. AND HE DID IT IN WRITING. If a businesses does not intend to back any facet of a proposal, one shouldn't be given. Finally, I must say that this last interaction felt demeaning and echoed every possible reason people go with larger companies where they are treated with more respect and the work is backed.

    About a year ago we had Specialized trim our very large oak trees. They did a great job. This year we needed to re-landscape our large side yard. Andrew came by and we discussed our ideas. After interviewing a couple of others we decided to hire Specialized again. We were not disappointed. Andrew and Jorge and the other gentlemen were so efficient and kind. They are hard working men. As you know here in July the days are only getting hotter. But each day they arrived and worked very hard until the job was done. We are very pleased. The yard looks beautiful. We have trimmed fruit trees and 2 new apple trees and lovely DG and stone pathway and a large circle of DG with polls for future lighting. We highly recommend Specialized for all your landscaping and trimming needs. Thank you guys.

Mike was incredibly communicative and transparent throughout the entire process. Whether it was helping us choose materials, fine-tuning our vision, or explaining each decision with his expertise, he was there every step of the way. He never pushed unnecessary extras and was always upfront and realistic, which we truly appreciated. As for the team, they were an absolute pleasure to work with--kind, reliable, and hardworking. They showed up early every single day, and they completed our front yard remodel in exactly 8 weeks, just as promised. The final cost was almost spot on with the original quote, which was another huge plus. Our new front yard looks amazing, and we've already received so many compliments! I'll be sure to update with photos once we finish everything else. When it comes time for our next project, there's no doubt--we'll be calling Mike and the team at Sea Breeze again.

They handled our entire project from start to finish, which included installing new pavers, turf, and an irrigation system. The quality of their work is fantastic, and the finished yard looks absolutely beautiful--exactly like the design photos we had hoped for. As with any large landscaping project, there were a couple of minor issues that popped up along the way, but Jake was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was taken care of very quickly without any hassle. Overall, I am extremely happy with how the yard turned out. If you're looking for a reliable team in the Irvine area that does high-quality work and stands behind it, I highly recommend Jake and Echo Family Landscaping.

We purchased a home in a new development, so we vetted many different companies to build all the features we wanted on an empty canvas (ie: dirt lot). Our budget was around $290-$360k. We got around 6 bids, which we narrowed down to 3. Out of the 3, Jake gave us the most confidence in his knowledge and eye for details. We visited some of his previous projects and were thoroughly impressed. A lot of our neighbors used competitors that were cheaper, but when we saw their completed projects, you could see a lot of corners that were cut and the shoddy quality. Some look down right terrible. The majority were unhappy with the work provided by those companies. The crews were constantly changing on the same projects (subbed out to 3rd party) and there was no post-completion support. I know that there have been lawsuits filed on some of the projects. Our home, on the otherhand, has been the highlight of our neighborhood and we have people constantly taking pictures and asking for details on Jake. Not just because of the design itself, but also because of his hardworking crew. We've been beyond happy with Jake and his team and love showing off our new outdoor space. Echo was at the top end of our budget, but the quality is A+++ and 100% worth it. He didn't cut any corners and his crew pulled 10-12 hour days, 6 days a week, for 10 months. Best thing is that Jake personally checked the quality of the work on a regular basis. If anything was off by a tiny bit, Jake redid it to make it perfect. I consider myself to be detail oriented, almost to the point of being unbearable, but I never had to worry about the work being done because of the QC by Jake. This in itself was worth it. The crew was consistently the same people and HIGHLY skilled. Some of the best work I'd seen. Ricardo was our project lead and so talented and friendly. All the team was very respectful and thoughtful. They cleaned up after every day and never blasted music or talked loudly or cursed. (Which was very important to me because my neighbor and I work from home). They were kind to my wife, kids, and neighbors as well. My parents also hired Echo to fix various issues around their yard and pool and had the same experiences we did with very proficient and highly skilled crew members that worked hard. Also, the small issues we had after completion were addressed immediately. Most contractors rarely come back after you've finished paying them, but Jake really values his clients and takes pride in making sure they're taken care of before, during, and most importantly, after the project is done. There are tons of companies out there, but nobody really does it like Echo and I HIGHLY recommend them. It's worth the investment, not just financially, but also the time and memories you will have enjoying the beautiful space and features.

Oscar took us to several nurseries to select plants that would compliment the project. Victor took care of the demo and construction side of the project and was he amazing! The crew shows up on time and the site is thoroughly cleaned up each day. Communication was awesome, if we had any questions about products or how things were being laid out Victor answered them right away.

My yard was overgrown and a mess. The sod from 2000 was done and full of weeds. The planting areas were in terrible shape. Fern and I talked and together we put together an idea of a combination of sod and DG. I mentioned to him that I always ask for more than discussed and to make sure he added the additional expense. They showed up on time every day at 6:30am and worked nonstop until dusk. They removed two big truck loads of dirt, old sod, weeds, roots and old plants by loading the truck using wheelbarrows. They put in new drip irrigation, new sprinkler lines and valves and repaired my outdoor electrical outlets. They built three paver borders and used cement to make a paver border fence I built by stacking blocks permanent. He cleaned out a raised planter not in the quote, fixed the drip lines and mulched and used my old fountain to build a bird feeder space in the planter. The quote was very fair and the addition price for the added work was very fair also. I will definitely be using him again for my next project. He also installed new ceramic tiles with my address on the front of the house and cleaned out part of my gutters and fixed the leaks to keep them from dripping on the DG. Use Fern for your landscaping needs and I'm sure you will be very satisfied!
