How far in advance should I book?

Several months. One recent review notes the team was booked 3 months out; older reviews reference similar lead times.

Do you offer maintenance after the project?

Yes. Clients report quarterly cleanups, plant health checks, seasonal care, and replanting as part of ongoing relationships.

What sizes of projects do you take on?

Their website lists pricing starting at $5K-$10K, but one client reported being turned down on a project in that range, citing an internal policy shift away from smaller jobs. Contact them directly to confirm project scope.

Most clients report smooth, carefully planned projects from design through install, with Reese and her team listening closely to needs and delivering cohesive outdoor spaces. The crew shows reliability over years of maintenance and strong communication, though some smaller projects have fallen through cracks in the intake process and booking runs several months deep.

Alvaro’s Landscaping and Tree service

5.0(223)✓ Verified

Alvaro's crew arrives fast, quotes on the spot, and finishes jobs in days or hours without mess. Reviewers return because the work is clean, the price is fair, and there's no upselling or back-and-forth-they listen, execute well, and leave property better than they found it. Tree trimming and removal dominate the reviews, but hardscaping and landscaping jobs show the same pattern: strong craftsmanship, flexibility on site changes, and attention to drainage or long-term problems. Staff are professional and courteous throughout. Fifteen-year track record, fully licensed and insured.

Red Agave Lawn + Landscape

4.8(75)✓ Verified

Red Agave earns consistent five-star praise for turning generic yards into custom outdoor living spaces that families actually use. Jensen and his crew (Zach, Clayton, Davey cited) listen through design, build with care, stay on budget, and solve problems on site without nickel-and-diming clients. Steel work, xeriscaping, drainage, and deck builds are specifically praised; one long-term customer reports seven years of reliable work. The operation feels small enough to be flexible but professional enough to handle complex projects from start to finish.
