Rudy and Miguel and the rest of the guys do a great job for fair prices. I have used them many times and recommend them strongly. You can trust their design ideas and instincts, which will support and enhance your environment. They also have good advice for which trees and plants to add if you would like input. read more

Rudy is meticulous in his approach to plants--this is exactly what we were looking for when we noticed our heirloom camellias and newly planted olives needed trimming. Watching him address every branch one at a time, snipping with small tools (rather than hacking away at the whole thing with a hedge trimmer) was like watching a master at work. This is the level of detail our trees deserved, and Rudy's expertise and labor was thus fairly compensated. The going rate for most gardeners these days is appallingly low and this is why they aren't usually detail oriented. We highly recommend Rudy! read more

Rudy is a super knowledgeable arborist and lovely guy, who is very thoughtful and reasonable to both customers and his crew. His tree-trimming, landscaping and gardening work is fantastic. Has looked after our yard and trees for over 25 years! Look no further! read more

Be very cautious when dealing with Rudy. He says one thing, then has people move things around based on that, only for it to turn out completely different. His communication is unreliable, and you can't trust what he says at face value. Make sure everything is in writing and clearly spelled out in the contract, because he will pass along incorrect or misleading information to others involved in the project. read more

This review is long overdue (and I was a bit intimidated to write it since this guy gives me the creeps). First yes, Rudy and his team did a good job on our tiny yard. But 1) they definitely overcharged me for a very tiny yard with no grass. They just needed to do a light cleanup and water the plants. 2) Rudy has no system of payment he would insist on cash and come by at random times and days unannounced trying to collect cash. He wouldn't be there with his team every week so he'd just come randomly. I'm happy to pay with a card or transfer (like every other gardening service does) but he kept saying something about needing to keep his income looking low to be able to apply for something. This was really shady. Also since he didn't have a set date of when to pay he was all over the place. I finally put my foot down and insisted on an invoice. That day he followed me in his truck slowly down the road (I was really creeped out since I couldn't even see who it was) and finally pulls up next to me with a napkin with an amount written on it for the 2 months due. 3) When coming for his cash payment Rudy would every time try to talk to me about his love life and keep pushing and asking me and if I had any available friends. Not just jokingly. Every time. Ummmm no. Just no. He also just gave a very weird vibe and would really make me feel uncomfortable. 4). He tried to start conversations with my boyfriend about his (Rudy's) sex life. They aren't buds. What the hell? Even my boyfriend was uncomfortable. I don't know what is wrong with this guy but ladies (and gents) I recommend you find a different gardener. Unless you aren't bothered by the above. read more

Z greens was absolutely awful. I cannot recommend them and Rudy, the proprietor was very strange and often non-sensical. He also had a bad attitude and worse, didn't do a good job. I cannot say one good thing about my experience with him or Z greens. read more

Rudy designed and planted a beautiful garden after our beloved pine fell, damaging our yard and stone wall. He met our family, including toddler, at the nursery to discover our preferences, stayed close to our budget even as prices had gone way up, and was a joy to work with. read more

If you are looking for someone cheap don't waste your time and his. Few years ago I hired someone cheap he killed my 10 year old pomegranate tree. I hired Rudy he trimmed my 60 year old avocado and 9 more trees. Words can't explain how much I am satisfy, I have beautiful, beautiful backyard. He really care about your trees. He has the best work crews and very respectful people. Miguel is above and beyond. Of course I will recommend to anyone. Mr. Rudy thank you tons! read more

Rudy did just what I asked for. No hype, no overselling and plenty of fine, reasonably priced trimming. Additional conversation and reminiscing was wonderful and came at no additional charge. I'll call Rudy from now on. read more

I had let my front and back yards go without trimming for about one year and they were in major need of gardening help. Based on other Yelp reviews, I contacted Z Greens. I spoke with Rudy and I could tell from our first conversation that he was very knowledgeable. He came out to see the project and we went over each and every plant/bush. It was apparent that Rudy loves plants and has a good connection with them. He came back later in the week and did an excellent job of trimming both the front and back yards. He also planted a few new shrubs and even a cactus full of spines! Some gardeners won't plant cactus but Rudy had no problem with it. He is honest, very pleasant, hardworking and very fair with pricing. I'm very happy with the results. read more

Rudy and his team are great. Wonderful at shaping and pruning trees. Much better foliage and fruit production. Very knowledgeable and clean everything when done. All at a great price. read more

Bark beetles had killed two big old pines in our yard. We were worried that removal would ruin all the lovely succulents and cactus growing beneath these trees. Rudy's team came in and took down the trees and not one of our other plants was even touched. They were respectful of our property, totally efficient and were gone by 2:30. Other than some sawdust, and the fact the trees were gone you'd never know they were there. We were amazed by the process and couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks Rudy!!!! read more

After spending $1500.00 on an arborist and still getting only 40 avocado's I decided to turn it over to Z Greens. My first season I got 200 avo's. Wow. I figured that because they do celebrity homes and church's they must be stand up guys. I was right, I have referred them to several others all with the same results. read more

Rudy is the best! My trees love him. He's trimmed several trees on our property. He is knowledgeable about tree health and their growth. The trees he has trimmed are growing beautifully, he's skilled at sculpting a tree. Previous guys trimmed my fruit trees badly and they were all bushy and wild. After his visit they all look like trees. He created a nice canopy with my Sycamore. Also, he's honest and loves what he does. Having him work on our garden has been a pleasure. He's a chatty one and I enjoy picking his brain about all things green. read more

If you want a real "Tree Man", meaning someone who has loved trees since childhood and has an emotional connection to them, then you need to contact Rudy Zuzow of Z Greens. Rudy has traveled to many areas of the world and appreciates nature. He has been instrumental in saving 2 of the shade trees on our property, one of which lost a major branch in the fall. Rudy came right over and and carefully trimmed the area and put some healing goop on it, and the tree is doing well now. He came again to trim both trees, and has done an a+ job! He and his crew are professional, clean and neat. He knows a lot about trees and can recommend what needs to be done with landscaping and planting what will grow in a specific area. He is sensitive to the special needs of the Southern California climate, and what thrives in certain areas. I highly recommend Z Greens! read more

The best Gardner! I have never seen anyone take such pride in their work! Other Gardeners just come in and out! Well my yard has never looked better and the fruit trees that Rudy put in lived! Where other Gardner their fruit trees died, and it was pretty expensive for them to just die! read more

Thank you Z Greens! Had a tree go down in the wind. Blocking my neighbors driveway. They came out within the hour and cleared it away. Super friendly too. read more

Found Rudy through yelp, have used him twice now, once on short notice, both decent size jobs (large tree trimmings) and both experiences have been great! Pricing is absolutely fair, work crew is professional, they did a great job both times and were thorough when cleaning up after themselves. Glad to finally have a great gardener on our contact list! read more

Great for tree trimming. Knows his trees and proper techniques. He may be too busy for general garden care but don't try to save money with the idiot tree gypsies. read more

Beware of fake reviews as you can see Rudy has all 5 star reviews. Mr. Zuzow is a gentleman always and when it comes to his business He is at the top of his trade. I have a 40 year old avocado tree that would only give me 20 - 30 avo's a year. After Rudy took over 200 plus a year. In foothill the communities his reputation is incredible and is very discreet even with his more famous clients never uses them to up sell his work. For a woman you can count on someone like Rudy, who you can have the utmost confidence in. read more

I called Rudy last week after our tenants let us know our big oak tree in the front was hit by a garbage truck and a branch was dangerously hanging, ready to fall on someone or something. Rudy was so friendly, he went out there within a few hours to check on the tree, and the rest of the yard/trees. He called me back right away, went out there 3 days later and took care of everything! Yes it was expensive, but the peace of mind of having it done quickly and correctly, especially when we couldn't take care of the problem ourselves since we weren't there, was worth it. Give Rudy a call!! read more

Rudy, the owner was great providing his tree services. He was very friendly and accommodating. My family needed some trees and bush to be trimmed and also a large tree to be cut down. Rudy listened to what we wanted and executed perfectly. Now our front yard looks great and groomed and much better view with the big tree out of the way. I highly recommend Z Greens! read more

I found Rudy through Yelp. He was the second person I had contacted regarding my trees. His prices could not be beat and such a nice guy. He really knows his stuff, plus he has great design ideas especially for someone like me that knows nothing about landscaping. My trees look beautiful, and Rudy and his team worked fast and did an amazing job. The next step for him is to re-landscape my front yard. read more

The best around both service and price Rudy is amazing he really knows what he is talking about

Rudy is the best! He came highly recommended and lived up to the recommendation. I put off trimming our trees because I was afraid of a butcher job, but Rudy came in and did a beautiful and skillful job. He didn't do anymore than was necessary and was super knowledgeable about when to cut back all the different trees, shrugs, vines, etc. He even turned down work because he said it wasn't the right time of year. He put the health of the plant above his own economic interest. Our trees actually look happier! read more

It's my turn to sing the praises of Rudy and his guys! My dear birch trees in our front yard died. A branch broke off into our neighbor's yard. I called Z's at about 5:30 on a Friday evening. He was just finishing a job for that day and stopped by at 6:00. He got his chainsaw out and cleaned up the branch mess in the neighbor's yard. We struck a very fair deal and he and his guys, very professional, brave, hard workers, were back the next day to cut down the trees. Clean up was done and away they went. Unbelievable! He and his crew saved the day! I HIGHLY recommend Z's!!! read more

Rudy has been a great help to me. He is very knowledgeable and has transformed our garden for reasonable prices. Thanks Rudy!!

Rudy was recommended by a friend. He did a major trim of a camphor tree that hadn't been properly trimmed in years. They did a great job, and Rudy clearly knew exactly what to do. Another landscaper came into my yard a week later and volunteered an enthusiastic approval of what he saw. Rudy also did neighbor relations, doing a small trimming job one neighbor requested and cut firewood for another. A great guy and very knowledgeable about plants and trees. read more

Rudy's services are unique. His knowledge of all things green (and pretty) are expectational. He has designed and maintained our landscape like a beautiful serine park and he is always one step ahead of the greens. Knowing when they need extra support, whether it be fertilizer or more or less water. We actually have not run into some in this area with the wealth and "know how" he has. He also loves his work so you can be sure he'll give it his all. Our only down side is that we can't accommodate all his great ideas all at once, which he has many! So we take it one step at a time. His crew are always very mindful of the property and attention to details. When he did our tree trimming, it was beautifully done. The trees looked natural and not like a bad hair cut. A special find in an area where lots of people talk but not all deliver. read more

Rudy and his crew just left our property in La Crescenta. Spectacular does not cover the job they did. They did a superior job trimming two Carrotwood trees and our Potocarpus hedge (actually about sixteen trees that form a hedge). They arrived at the scheduled time and worked carefully the entire day. Crew was quiet, courteous, clean and professional. We highly recommend this company and will use them again! read more

I found Rudy using Yelp after a thorough search. I'm so glad I did. He's excellent at what he does. He fixed a landscape pipe leak for us. He was punctual, enthusiastic, friendly, and very affordable. He clearly likes to be of help to his customers and to problem solve. I would definitely call Rudy again for landscape irrigation or for tree trimming and maintenance. He also does landscape design work. A+ service and experience. read more

We have lots of large mature trees both at our home and rentals in Altadena and our property in Cypress. Rudy has carefully and artistically reshaped the most neglected of these until they are healthy, attractive landscaping centerpieces. We always get very prompt service when we call. His crew goes the extra mile in cleaning up after the job and they are very careful of the other plantings. His prices are the best -- we comparison shop a lot --his are the best for the best quality work. read more
