Mike Hoover and his crew are true professionals. They did exactly as directed in the time specified. Their knowledge of landscaping techniques were stellar and they gave me exactly what I asked for. They take care of business. They were hard working, diligent, courteous and respectful. Although, they weren't the cheapest, their professionalism and quality was well worth it. read more

It has taken me a while to post this review. Last October I hired Mike and his crew to trim back my fruitless Mulberry in my backyard. Beautiful large gorgeous shade tree. I asked him to bring it down from the sky and in from the sides, a good trim. I don't know what he told his crew, but they butchered my tree. I was left with no limbs to provide any shade. I will go this whole spring and summer with no shade in my yard due to Mike and his crew not listening to what I actually asked for. I asked him to trim the tops of two small trees and he charged a whopping $300 for that extra work when another tree trimming company was going to throw that in for free since they were already here . If you're going to hire this company, make sure you are very specific in your instructions and watch the crew while they work. read more

Hoover Horticultural Service - Fruitless mulberry got WHACKED not trimmed. - Tree Services Near Me

t. They added a beautiful retaining wall, drop system for plants, sprinklers for a small grass area, and more roses (my favorite). They fixed a drainage problem we had with our downspouts and accumulation on the ground. They expanded our driveway and added a huge concrete pad in our backyard for my home office to go on. They also added a large concrete walkway along the side of our house. The crew was friendly, Mike was very clear what the project would entail and everything turned out beautifully! read more

Love Mike Hoover and his company! They did an amazing job on my friends project so I hired them myself. He was great with scheduling around my events and the job came out beautifully! Highly recommend Hoover!! read more

WHATEVER YOU DO - DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!!! Mike Hoover - the owner of this business is the most unprofessional person I have ever came into contact with. I hired his company to remove a dead tree from my yard. I got a quote from him on Tuesday, December 19th, 2023, to remove the tree, and during the quote he said we could probably get it done on Friday, 12/22/23. After I agreed to our quote, he asked me to send him a signed copy of the quote. I did as he asked - and never got a response from him. This was the first red flag. I followed up on Wednesday, 12/20/23 and asked if he received the signed copy. He stated that he did, and I asked if we were good to go for Friday, like he stated during the quote on Tuesday. He did not respond to this. Red flag number 2. Because of his lack of communication, I called him on Thursday morning, 12/21/23 to see if we were going to be good to go for Friday, 12/22/23. When I called and asked about the appointment, he says "Oh yeah it's on the books for Friday at 11am" he says this as if I am already supposed to know- like he had already told me. Red Flag number 3. So, on Friday morning 12/22/23, I am expecting a call or knock on my door around 11am, letting me know that they are going to be starting work on the tree. However, I was not notified at all that they were going to start working, and I get out of a work meeting at 11:30, to see my car blocked in by work trucks. Additionally, I had an appointment that I needed to drive to at 1pm - so I had to resort to using my grandmother's vehicle to go to the appointment since they had blocked my car in without giving me any type of notification that they were going to be starting work. Red flag number 4. They were working from 11am - 4:30 pm. My mother got home from work around 4:20pm and sees the crew packing up. By 4:30pm, the whole crew was gone. Mike did not say anything- so I wasn't sure if they were going to be dropping things off and coming back or what the case was. So, I waited until 5:30pm and I gave Mike a call, asking for a status update on the tree since it was only about halfway done. When I called asking for a status update, mike claims that him and his crew had to pack up and leave because there was bees in my ivy that the tree was in, and that him and his whole crew got stung and had to leave. However, when my mother had walked up ten minutes prior, everyone seemed fine and they were packing up. Mike did not knock on my door or call me to let me know that they would be leaving or to let me know that they were stung by bees. I said "were you going to call me and let me know?" he said no, I was just going to come back on January 3rd. Red Flag number 5. We have also gone and looked ourselves every day since this has happened, and there are NO BEES in the ivy whatsoever. I voiced my dissatisfaction with Mike and his services on that day, 12/22/23. He was very hostile, yelling at me on the phone and hanging up on me to the point where he would no longer pick up the phone. Red Flag number 6. We had agreed on having the entire tree removed and completed on that day 12/22/23 as I needed the tree removed from my yard prior to the new year. Mike did not communicate anything to me, left without notice, and just expected me to be okay with it getting done after the new year when I could not wait. I had to hire a new company to complete the job. I texted Mike on 1/2/24 stating that I was very dissatisfied with his actions and lack of communication and that we would no longer be needing his services. I specifically told him not to come back to my home. Mike did not respond to this message - and he comes to my home UNANNOUNCED on 1/5/2024. He was banging on my door and waited around my house for about 15 minutes - even though no one was home. He called me but I was unable to answer due to being at work. When I had a second, I called him back explaining that he needs to leave my home and that he is very unprofessional for the way he was handling everything. I said I would pay him half of the quote we had agreed to because he did about half of the work. He continues to go on saying no he is actually going to charge me more than the original quote because him and his crew got stung by bees, and that if I don't pay, he is going to have a lien put on my house. He won't give me a chance to speak, and then he hangs up in my face and now refuses to answer his phone. Good luck with a lien or trying to get paid now - we have all of his unprofessional behavior documented. WHATEVER YOU DO- DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY!!! HE IS AN OLD BITTER MAN WHO IS RUDE AND ZERO COMMUNICATION SKILLS. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

Excellent, well done tree trimming. Hoover had a great, cohesive work group. They did an excellent job on 5 trees in our yards. They had not been professionally trimmed in years. Hoover Horticulture worked quickly, as quietly as possible, and did an excellent job cleaning up. They were very careful not to damage any of my 50 orchid plants. A job well done. read more

I discovered Hoover Horticultural Services on expertise.com. Mike responded quickly and provided a thorough explanation of plans to trim and cut a huge tree in my back yard and a Magnolia tree in my front yard with considerable low branches and hanging out into the street. He was friendly, professional and "knew his stuff". I was very impressed with him and his crew who were also professional and left my property nice and clean upon completion of job. I'm so happy with my "groomed" trees looking beautiful. I should have done this years ago! I HIGHLY recommend them; don't hesitate to hire!!! read more

I don't want to even give this company one star. I called last week on Saturday and spoke to Mike. I spoke to him about a job at my hike and he offered to come by the next day (Sunday) for an estimate. (He also never gave me a time) I called him later Sunday morning and said he was busy and "maybe if I'm not tired I will come by, but if you don't hear from me, I stopped working"!! Ok. Great. He had every opportunity to say I will get you first thing Monday morning but didn't. In fact, he never even called me back at all and today is Thursday. What a joke. I called this company because they were local and I like to higher smaller companies. Big mistake. How incredibly unprofessional mike and this company is. read more

Ok, we've been stood up. He's a no-show. I gave him an open window, all morning! All I asked was if we could do it before noon. He said yes. I requested he call sometime in the am to let me know what time worked for him. No call, no show. He obviously does not want our business! LAME! read more

We had a sickly tree in our backyard. After a large branch fell on our fence, we requested a quote for tree removal. Michael Hoover responded quickly to our request and was able to come by and review the situation within 24 hours. He confirmed that the tree was riddled with termites and also infected with crown rot. Not only did he beat out the other companies' quotes for tree removal, he completed the work quickly and without any fuss. The entire process was completed in under a week. Excellent service! read more

My family has been using Hoover Horticulture for about 10 years now. They removed two huge pine trees with no issues and have been maintaining our front yard once a year. Mike is very friendly, knowledgeable, and gives a fair price every time. The office girl is a sweetheart. Highly recommend. read more

Mike Hoover is veteran friendly. He took care of the Memorial Park at the Fair Oaks Center Township Veteran's of Foreign Wars for barely nothing. He found more damage after he started and took care of that too. read more

If there was a negative star I would add it...! these guys are the absolute worst of their business you set up an appointment they do not show. The old man that runs this business is a complete asshole real piece of work. He thinks he knows everything and come to find out from other from other horticulturist he was completely wrong and pointed me and the most expensive direction. Absolutely do not use these guys. read more

I have used Mike Hoover for the past 15 years but am now done. Last year, when he removed 2 trees, he broke a sprinkler (clearly visible when he gave me the estimate). He then charged me $100 to fix the sprinkler he broke. This year, it took over 2 months for him to complete the trimming of my tree, though not really completed. He wouldn't return phone calls for 2 weeks. He charged me over $1000 to trim a large tree but it doesn't look like he has really done that much (his crew spent a total of two hours trimming the tree). I will not have him back for any work. read more

We have hired Hoover Horticultural Service over the past couple of years for some pretty heavy duty landscaping work, I first met the crew when they were working at our next door neighbors house and liked how well they worked as a team and how friendly and polite they were.For us , they have done really good work.( 100 ft. long Retaining wall, brick walkway and patio, tree and shrub pruning and cleanup of blackberry vines, as well as selecting and planting trees and shrubs.They also replaced a redwood fence.In our case they have done the work efficiently without undue delays. I had to laugh when we read some other reviews because Mike Hoover does indeed have opinions about everything from dog training, child rearing , you name it. He frightened my neighbor by giving her a hug.He did indeed give us suggestions on my choice of materials and plants which turned out to be very good advice. He has a good eye for design.He is a Vietnam Nam veteran and interesting to talk to. Their prices are not cheap but were in the ballpark with other estimates . We would indeed hire them again . Also, our dog Sparky likes them. We never hire people the dog does not like._raq_promotion_experiment.biz_details.overlay%7Creviews_enumerated%7Cno_full_reviews%7Creview_1%7Clist_separator.all_sessions&utm_source=m.yelpdifferent than my ideas and they resulted in more attractive landscaping read more
