The owner was a terrific lady who came out personally to view the property, make suggestions, and together we designed a portfolio to plant. This turned out to include a rare Sago palm in addition to her usual stock, which was included without an extra charge because she felt it would really add to the landscape. After a few days, the gardeners came out and planted it all according to her instructions. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience, and very much improved the curb appeal of our property. We are certainly glad to have done this, and I would highly recommend using this company for your landscaping needs.
Description of Work: They came and planted various cacti and succulents (about 5) around our property. They also provide some initial consultations for landscape design.

Patricia quoted the tree service while visiting on other work they were doing for us (installing cactus). We wrote her an email to go ahead a week later and the day after that the work was done. Her responsiveness and coordination were excellent. The tree surgeon was also excellent and his work was high quality.
Description of Work: We had a very large (tall) mesquite tree thinned and pruned to get rid of crossed branches and mistletoe. We sent Patricia an email on monday to do the work and it was done the following day. I called with a credit card and everything was completed in short order. The quality of the work was outstanding. I would not hesitate to use their tree service again.

Overall the experience went well. Communication was average during purchase and install. They are helpful in recommending what to plant for desert survival. Feel the overall cost was high for what we received. This is based upon shopping around in Tucson area for similar cactus. This is just my opinion.

I bought Angie's list coupon $149 for $300 services- Arborist called me that week to set appointment. I wasn't really planning on having any services done for several months. She gave me an estimate on trimming 2 trees and a sahuaro cactus and suggested taking one tree down due to mistletoe. Her cost did not include stump removal. A second estimate from another company was $300 less -minus the cactus. The arborist did not want to match the services. I opted to not cut it down and used AZ cactus / trees for the allotted coupon amount only. They trimmed one tree and one cactus. The two men that came out were very nice, neat and courteous, though limited in what they could reach by ladder and take with them in a small trailer. Ivan climbed up into the tree, up branches and onto the roof. He was very diligent and conscientious and has no obvious fear of heights. He did not leave until I was asked to approve the work.
Description of Work: Trimmed one medium sized mesquite tree and topped a sahuaro cactus

There was some confusion of the dates and some delays, but the service was fine. They showed up as promised, I was allowed to swap out the barrel cactus for a second ocotillo, and they planted as I asked. All workers were respectful, kind and professional. I would not hesitate to call them to use them again.
Description of Work: I purchased the $199 special, 2 ocotillos, a 4 foot saguaro, and a tree, all delivered and planted.

Company was very prompt scheduling an estimate appointment and Patricia's team was very prompt when scheduled and completed the job quickly and very satisfactorily.
Description of Work: I bought this service as a Big Deal and it was great ($300 of service for $150). The big deal covered the trimming back of an extremely overgrown and angry acacia tree in the home I had just moved into and then Patricia worked with me on pricing for the removal of a dead tree (pepper tree, ~20-25 feet tall; cut off at the stump) and carry away of two smaller dead pepper trees that had blown over in a recent storm (a second $140).

The crew arrived when anticipated, worked diligently, answered any questions, and worked the entire time there. There was no damage to existing plants, cleanup was spotless and all debris was removed and taken away.
Description of Work: I first called to get an estimate on some dead branch removal from several trees. Upon advice from the business owner and reevaluation I decided to take one of the trees completely out and just remove a large dead and some dying branches on the other tree. The employees did an excellent job of not trampling down my existing plants scattered all over the ground. The tree that was removed was leaning on a metal fence which they managed to not damage. They also cleaned up all the debris. In the front of my yard was a dying octupus agave with a huge shoot growing up in between the electric and cable line. I was concerned that if cut, it might fall into one of the lines and take either out. Again, the staff did an excellent job cutting it down and removing the entire plant. Watching them load it into their truck made me greatful they were doing it and not me. It took two men to lift and push it in the truck bed with a lot of huffing and puffing.

I cannot say enough good things about Arizona Cactus and Trees! From my first meeting with Patricia (the arborist) who came to evaluate the work needed, to her crew, they were a pleasure to work with. They came on time, and stayed as long as was needed to get the massive trimming properly done. Patricia even came back to make sure that I was satisfied. When they were done, they left the place cleaner than they found it. I am already planning to have AZ Cactus and Trees come back for another landscaping job that I've been putting off. I recommend them highly!

The crew was efficient, courteous, and clearly knew what they were doing - some of the mesquites that needed attention were quite large; the branches were about 10 inches in diameter. The owner/estimator came out about two days before the work was done. She is a certified arborist which is rare in Tucson. She was easy to discuss work items with and I felt the estimate was very reasonable given the number of tress that needed attention and the mess of prickly pear that had to be dealt with. Everything looks beautiful. I would definitely hire AZ Cactus and Trees again.
Description of Work: I had several mesquites and acacias trimmed (about 6 in all), some big, dead prickly pear removed, and a palm tree skinned.

There were several phone calls back and forth thru the process of having someone come out to look at my situation, agreeing on the work to be done and then the actual work being performed. This took a few weeks and I wasn't sure exactly when they would be coming out until the morning of that day. Overall, assuming the tree lives thru the winter, the work performed was fine. I wasn't given a receipt for the tree and the planting, nor any instruction on watering, but that was taken care of with a phone call. I was surprised to get a phone message later on the same day the work was performed, asking me to leave a review, as the message said that was understood when someone bought a coupon on angie's list. They do good work, however.
Description of Work: They removed a tree stump by grinding as it had been a large tree. In response to my question, they also suggested a replacement tree and that was planted at the same time the other work was done.

The two men worked quickly and efficiently. Since we care a great deal about the tree, it was a difficult thing to watch but they did not object to us staying and asking questions and such. One of the men, I regret I did not ask his name, had been trimming trees for over twelve years and is an absolute genius at tree trimming. The other man, I believe his name is George, tried to do his best but he was a little over zealous in our opinion. He took out a large branch of living tree that never should have been removed, and you can't glue branches back once they are gone. At that point is when we questioned their experience. We learned the second man was also very experienced, but as a landscaper! No wonder he made the mistake. After that he followed instructions from the first man. I have no idea why Patricia gave us an inexperienced tree trimmer but I would recommend you ask the men she sends exactly what their area of expertise may be. That should help you avoid the kind of mistake that happened to us. I would caution that when you set up times with Patricia you repeat them back to her. If the crew does not show up at the promised time, call Patricia immediately. We waited over two hours to ask what happened and we should not have been so polite. It is a good company, with good employees, but apparently has some minor problems with organization. We intend to hire them again but next time we will ask more questions.
Description of Work: We used a coupon which we purchased for $150. It was worth $300 towards cactus work, tree trimming or our choice of yard work. We paid an additional $150 for them to trim a large hybrid mesquite tree we have that is either a Chilean or Argentine Mesquite. Patricia could not identify for sure what kind of tree it is except to say it appears to be a hybrid. She advertises she is an Arborist and we assumed that would include being able to identify types of trees. Twice Patricia mixed up times she had set. The second time would have had her crew of four starting work at 5 P.M. and we did not want them hurrying or working in the dark. I asked to reschedule for the next morning. When they showed up it was a crew of two and Patricia was not with them. We question her making a big deal out of being an arborist when she is not with her crew when they actually work on the tree. There was a great deal of dead wood on the tree, which they removed. At the same time they removed some living branches in order to shape the tree into a pleasant shape. Afterwards the men cut and stacked the wood we wanted and removed all the debris that resulted from the work.

When we got the estimate from them, they told me that it would be an additional $130.00. They came over when I wasn't home and ruined my trees. They gutted the trees out from the middle. These were overgrown trees that needed to be topped off and shaped. Instead, they thinned out all the foliage from the middle of the tree.

Response from AZ Cactus & Trees
The proper way to trim citrus, is to leave a leaf drape on the outside, to protect the trunk from sunburn. An interior thinning, is acceptable Arborist practice in Tucson, due to our hot sun. Topping a tree is not an acceptable menthod of reducing any tree. We were about to reduce the top, in the proper manner, when the lady home owner gave some instructions to George, a landscaper/helper who was with the trimmer on the job. The tree trimmer Ivan, was busy in another tree, and George misunderstoud what she wanted done. George should have waited on Ivan, but did cut the branch. The lady became angry, and despite my reducing off the extra $130 from the bill, she was unhappy. There were 6 trees on the job, and her total cost to trim all 6 was only the $149 price she paid for the coupon. We also offered to come back in the spring, for a free redo of the tops of the citrus. She refused. We also did apologize for George's over eager efforts to please. He has since been instructed to not trim anything unless Ivan specifically instructs him to do so. He has been complying with that request. Unfortunately the lady home owner was still not happy.

I had purchased one of their coupons: $300 for $149, so a $730 job only cost me $579. I was contacted shortly after I purchased the coupon for an estimate. The actual job was scheduled for the following week. They arrived on time and finished the job in less than a day. Everything looks beautiful and they cleaned up very well after themselves. I am very pleased with the job they did. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and professional. Great job!!

The job went very smoothly. The work crew encountered no problems.
Description of Work: I had two trees removed (very large dead pale-verde - cut to the ground level) and large dead mesquite). I also had a tall pine tree 'crown cleaned to over 20 feet' of dead branches (this was a lot of work). In addition they removed some mistletoe from paloverdes and trimmed branches from about 4 paloverdes that were overhanging the driveway. The work took approximately 2 1/2 hours with a crew of three. The work was done very efficiently and all limbs, clippings and debris were cleaned up and removed. Patricia, the estimator, was very cordial and knowledgeable about trees and their care. The work crew were very nice, did not waste any time and did a great job cleaning up considering the amount of stuff to be hauled away. It filled a very long high sided trailer. Note that the price I paid was discounted from $620 by using the 'Big Deal' offered at the time. This job was a bargain considering what I have paid in the past for similar services.
