Urban Plantations

We would like to highly recommend Urban Plantations which is a gardening service that focuses primarily on fruit-bearing trees and food-producing bushes. We hired them to do an initial evaluation and then a maintenance service of our trees and bushes which, due to unforeseen circumstances, we could no longer adequately service ourselves and which had consequently had been somewhat neglected. The job included digging up and replanting three trees: two were replanted in the ground from raised beds and the third was relocated and all three had gopher-resistant cages installed. In addition they pruned, fertilized and sprayed our lemon and fruit-bearing trees throughout the yard and replaced our 20-year-old sprinkler control box that had broken. All of the workers (Laura, Benjamin and Paige) were highly professional, knowledgeable, hard-working and considerate. When there was a problem (one of our trees needed to be replaced and we had to get a control box other than the one that was initially quoted), we were consulted before anything was done. We plan to use Urban Plantations for quarterly servicing of our trees and to help us check and do a reconfiguration of part of our sprinkler system. Our only regret is that they restrict their service to food-producing plants which makes sense, but means we have to find other help for our ornamental bushes and trees. This is a great organization, responsive, professional and knowledgeable. Their prices are on the higher end of the spectrum, but are well deserved and we recommend their services without reservations.
