The first phase was extending the backyard and building the white fence shown in images. The second phase, adding gazebo, patio, sidewalk, and plants. They also added a sprinkler system. Of the landscapers I've had, they are tops. They show up on time, all the time, and the team is quite proud of their craftsmanship, noticed this during my many conversations. I'm very happy with the quality of work. In the future, I plan to have them return to complete a third phase of the yard, and I'm confident the work will be done well. (As mentioned, I had two prior contractors do a section of my yard not shown, and I'm still irritated at how awful the bbq grill area looks and why they did not level the area before putting pavers down. Just note: big signs on freeways do not indicate quality work. ) I found Ben's team online and watched the videos about them and so glad I took a chance. My review is overdue. I want to give a shout out: I love my yard and Ben and his team. I have nothing but good things to say. I'll let my images do the talking and showcase the quality and value they provided me.

Tucson Arborists Professional Services (TAPS) are licensed, insured, and certified. EXCELLENCE!…read more We have a thirty-year old, 60' ft. Mexican Palm Tree. Through the years having it trimmed by different contractors, it has accumulated holes in its trunk from the spikes trimmers wear to climb tall palms. So this time I decided to hire a certified palm tree trimmer at Tucson Arborist Professional Services (TAPS). This company is quite unique: although they offer the usual palm tree trimming using spikes, they also offer "spikeless tree climbing." That's where they actually climb the tree without spikes using safety ropes, in accordance with the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), and use a special Japanese saw to manually cut the fronds and also shaves with a razor to make the trunk smooth. The end result is a beautiful regal palm pruned to the proper "10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position." I couldn't be happier! The customer service is top-notch. For my free estimate the manager came with the tree trimmer and arrived promptly at the scheduled time. We then set my appointment for palm trim 9am Tuesday November 12, 2019 and again they arrived promptly on time. We confirmed the appointment via text the day before. This is important to me, as so many other contractors in the area are often late, and some don't show up at all! The crew is clean, professional, polite, friendly, and speak fluent English. The manager (Bear Bailey) is very knowledgeable and he oversees the job onsite the entire time the trimmer is there. The trimmer (Gabriel Tadeo) is more than a trimmer, not only is he knowledgeable with years of experience, but he's an ISA Certified Arborist® and also an ISA Certified Tree Worker Climber Specialist®. He is healthy and fit and I was amazed to watch him climb 60 feet using just ropes! SAFETY is their #1 objective and they take time to set up and prepare the job site so everything goes smooth. They use a safety line for emergency personnel to easily locate them. They also communicate via walkie-talkie (this is important from high up 60 feet behind fronds). They leave no debris behind and clean up as they go along. Gabriel used his special hand saw (not a chain saw), so there wasn't sawdust and chunks of palm fronds everywhere at the foot of my palm. Bear picked up the fronds as Gabriel sent them down so at the end there was no mess anywhere! At the foot of my palm I have succulents growing as ground cover, not one was smashed nor disturbed. It was windy out so some of the small pieces flew into my neighbor's yard but the crew made sure that was cleaned up too. Their prices are competitive and affordable, but not cheap. Just remember, you get what you pay for. I've had cheap services in the past, where they disfigure the tree and leave a lot of mess behind. But not so with TAPS. TAPS also provide other services like staking, bracing, transplanting, shrubs/bushes, landscaping, stump and tree removal, insect management, and maintenance. They can trim small, medium or very large trees; Mesquite, Pines, Eucalyptus, Fruit and trees of all kinds; and certainly the usual palm trimming using spikes. Would I use TAPS again? YES! I already have them on my calendar for next year's trimming.

It's 108 degrees here in Tucson, and our 8-10 Mesquite trees look so "down". They've grown such…read moreheavy pods this year that they appear to be willows in the making! So, I used Yelp and contacted at least 8 arborists. I was able to schedule four estimates, but I decided on Tucson Arborists after two estimates. When they came out, it was apparent to me (a botanist's daughter) that they definitely knew their trees. They showed us a couple of things that we had been doing wrong, and agreed that this was a good time to get this trimming done (prior to the monsoons). They sent me an estimate online that evening. My husband and I both agreed that they were incredibly knowledgeable, and we felt that their price was reasonable, given their expertise. The morning of the work, they showed up before dawn and went right to it. They occasionally interacted with us to discuss trimming a major branch (for aesthetic reasons), and they completed all work and clean up before noon. Bear Bailey and A.J. were the ones who did this work for us. We are totally pleased with the job they did and with their punctuality in getting us an estimate and performing the work. They even helped to recommend a product that would help us control wood beetles. We plan to use them again when we need more trimming--and there's not a better recommendation than that!

So much so, that we had neighbors and friends asking for his info and they were blown away by his prices. I would happily use them again for our landscaping needs! They were out here in less than two days and his crew spent hours taking care of the tree and front yard. He made sure to check in on them and at the end of the job he made our happiness with the job his priority. He wanted to make sure that my husband and I were happy with the work that was done.
