MARTINIERE LANDSCAPE & DESIGN

Absolutely have only the best things to say (and think) about this gentleman and his crews. In the week after Hurricane Sally, I called two tree services I'd used in the past decade (spending thousands each time.) One didn't bother to respond after two calls and an email and the other showed up the next day, promising to send his crew the next week but he had to charge for a half day ($3200) although he said there was only about an hour's worth of work. So I paid in advance. (You know the punchline on this so go ahead and roll your eyes.) And the next week he texted that he thought he might get to it in a couple of weeks. The happy ending to this story is that since I had to replace trees and plants and sod, I'd left a message for Mr. Martiniere. He showed up, honestly said that I'd be about 4-6 months out but when I told him about the tree guy, he said that he had six crews out all over town and if something went wrong to give him a call. I called the same day (right after receiving the text from the tree guy) and in two hours Mr. Martiniere's crews arrived and cut up all the trees, safely removed one from the roof, blew out and removed what looked like a football field's worth of wet leaves that were everywhere including behind the hedges AND when they came back from lunch they brought fence boards back and nailed them in so we could get the dogs from the boarding kennel! All this for less than half the price of the tree guy. So there you have it: the story of a formerly honorable tradesman corrupted by a catastrophe and an epic tale of an incredible businessman who takes care of his personnel and clients. Just remember, if it's not an emergency, you're going to need to be patient.

They are amazing. I use them weekly for my maintenance and have used them for bigger jobs in the past. They are consistently awesome and I can't say enough great things about them.

His crew actually came to install the system a full week after his original proposed start date. Two days' delay was attributed to unexpected complications on the job he was working prior to ours, two days were attributed to rain, the remaining day unexplained. The crew worked steadily and professionally and Tommy came toward the end of each day to supervise and inspect. Job was completed in two days. A leak developed in one of the PVC joints 3 days later and Tommy and his crew showed up promptly to make the repair.

We now have a lovely backyard that is easy to care for. The water features, a bubbler fountain and a pondless waterfall provide soothing sounds. We have an abundance of bird, bees, and butterflies now. Tommy, Elizabeth, and Chris were great at answering our questions and very nice to work with. We plan to use them for the front yard next year. They excel at making sure the customer is satisfied with their work.

.I like the fact that they were very professional. They had to dig up all of my flowers and trees to do the job.
