FREE ESTIMATE: Todd was very prompt in returning my request for an estimate and came out shortly thereafter right on time as he had said. Work was started about six weeks later, which was as promised. Todd was in constant contact to keep us in the know on project start and utilities mapping activities. DAY 1: we were out of town and came home after Wes and his excellent crew had removed all the old shrubs and trees, etc. It looked like we had a brand new house...almost. Our neighbors had even facebooked how the crew had worked so hard. We were more than happy at this point! DAY 2: work continued with the installation of pavers, mulch, plantings, bushes, and sod. We had asked for additional rock removal in the back, which the crew happily accommodated, as well as sod to replace a playset we had removed, which again the crew happily accommodated. Wes asked for our input as needed, which was really appreciated. DAY 3: a bit of remaining work and full cleanup was completed (cleanup was also performed daily), and we were VERY pleased! FOLLOW-UP: Todd stopped by several times throughout the project and following completion. We discussed maintenance, and he sent maintenance plans for both the plantings and the sod, which were very clear and helpful. A thank-you-for-doing-business-with-us note was received later...what a nice touch :) Friends and neighbors continue to gasp when they see the transformation, and we cannot express how truly delighted we are every time we drive up or walk outside! Well done, Todd, Wes and crew, and Treehouse!
Description of Work: Removed decades-old shrubs and trees, rock (and more rock!), timber terracing, and plastic edging and replaced with pavers, mulch, plantings and bushes, and sod. The front and both sides of the house were completely redone with a bit of unplanned, additional work in the back of the house as well.

For each project I've been given free estimates and accurate calculations of what the cost and necessities of performing the work entail. And everything has been accurate and Todd was good about helping brainstorm solutions for landscaping ideas and drainage work yet also very open to my input.
Description of Work: I've had multiple projects performed. Much of the work was grading and water drainage work. I also had a retaining wall built and some general landscaping. Their prices I doubt are the cheapest but I have been very impressed with their work ethic and responsiveness so I have continued to use them and plan to have them do more work next year.

I am by default a "Do It Yourselfer" I had started this project the week before I called Todd for and estimate. It was one of the HOTTEST weekends of the year, silly me, I got heat exhaustion. It would be weeks before I would feel good enough to get back to this project. I was afraid I would lose my back yard if it rained too much. Todd I think saw the stress in my face, and was able to line up a crew for a little weekend work. Overall, there is nothing to complain about. I feel a little odd in that, but it's true! The job was done fast, with the best materials, and knowledgeable guys who seemed like they wouldn't do it if it wasn't being done right. I can't say I paid too little, but that said I surely didn't get a bad deal. I don't think I could have done the job myself for less money. The time and headache savings alone was well worth the cost. I WILL use Treehouse Landscape again in the future, for even bigger projects I have planned in the future. I will recommend them to friends and family.
Description of Work: Installed short block wall, about 50 feet long, starting 4 blocks high, with step-downs. Installed base, drainage, back filled, and cap. Todd came out to do the estimate. He was on time, and easy to reach via cell phone, and returned calls in timely manner. A week or so later I accepted his proposal, he set up two of his guys to come out and do the project. His estimate for materials for the most part was spot on. I did not have to pay for what was not used. Wes and Matt came out almost exactly when they said they would, and the project was underway. I wanted to help, but they were so good, I only felt in the way. About 4 hours, and these two guys were almost done.. Impressive work. The wall turned out far better than I had hoped. When needed, the guys would stop and ask how I wanted certain things to look, or what direction I wanted it to go. The guys were extremely polite, and patient with me as this was my first major landscape project. The follow-up by Todd, and his crew was nice. I was left feeling assured the job was done properly and with the best materials, and lacking shortcuts.

Description of Work: The treehouse guy came out and drew a picture of the retaining wall he would build. It was too expensive for what I could pay at the time. Several people I showed it to said the estimate seemed high. I have not had any other bids so I am not sure if it was too high. It may have been very fair. I just could not afford the bid at that time. Their rep was very polite and right on time and came out to see the area I needed work done on. I am not really sure of the date we met. But this form makes me put one in

TODD IRKE (COMPANY OWNER) PROVIDED ME WITH AN ESTIMATE AND THE LANDSCAPING PLAN IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER. HE WAS ALWAYS EASY TO REACH VIA HIS CELL PHONE AND RESPONSIVE TO ANY QUESTIONS. WE SET UP A DATE FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE ABOUT 2 WEEKS OUT. BUT HE ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO WORK ME IN BEFORE THAT DATE BECAUSE OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. HIS LANDSCAPING CREW WAS VERY EFFICIENT ALSO. IN ADDITION TO THE NEW PLANTINGS, SEVERAL SHRUBS NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND A COUPLE OTHERS WERE TRIMMED. OLD CRUSHED ROCK REMOVED NEW ROCK AND LANDSCAPING FABRIC PUT DOWN. I FEEL TODD IRKE CONDUCTED HIMSELF IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER FROM START TO FINISH AND I WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE RECOMENDING HIS BUSINESS TO ANYONE.
Description of Work: I WANTED THE ESTIMATE AND LANDSCAPING PLAN DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I AM GETTING READY TO PUT MY HOME ON THE MARKET.
