I'm updating my review of Living Water Tree Service and bumping them up to 4 stars…read more Amazingly, the owner kept to his word and called me almost 4 weeks after my first contact with him. He had an explanation that makes sense to me. He doesn't like setting up his Saturday estimate appointments far in advance because that's the only day he can schedule a crane for large removal jobs. So sometimes the crane availability interferes with appointments. I found the owner, Walt, to be very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the half an hour I spent talking to him. He's extremely knowledgeable about removing trees. Like some of the other companies, this outfit seems to mostly specialize in large tree removal. They're extremely expensive for more mundane things like shrub trimming. My only complaint was the eye popping quote! I was quoted $4285.00 for hand pruning the sides of 400 Hawthorne Cockspur shrubs. (These are planted a foot & a half apart, forming a continuous hedge around my entire property.) He quoted less for electric trimming. I did a little experiment and it took me 2 minutes or less to hand prune both sides of one shrub. And I'm an old slightly disabled amateur. If I hire Living Water, that works out to $5.36 per minute or $321.38 per hour for pruning. That's big money - more than a Neurologist who went to school for 12 years! I'd definitely consider Living Water for tree removal, especially if it's something tricky...like working around fences or landscaping or neighbors. You might want to hire someone else for something easier like hedge trimming. -Daddy Maxx Retro

As part of my project, they removed several 50+year-old rare peony plants that were meant to be…read morepreserved by having the hardscape created as a memorial garden. Ever since I gave them kind and honest feedback about their lack of management on my job leading to those plants being lost, they have done everything possible to avoid fixing costly mistakes they left that were never part of the project scope to begin with. TL;DR: Villa doesn't know the difference between nutrient dense seeding soil used for planting grass seed and plants versus dirty landscaping fill with pulverized stone and gravel used for leveling landscaping, grading and creating the foundation for hardscapes - in case you're confused, one kind grows stuff and the other doesn't, yet these experts who've been in business for 30+ years seem to have no clue about this difference. To cosign another reviewer, "I have never encountered such a poorly managed job. They did a job done, but it came with a lot of stress and distress and disappointments. Please use another company."

After 20 years, our patio had sunk and was uneven so we contracted with Villa to design and replace…read morethe old patio. Andy did the design and quotation and was a pleasure to work with. He is a great and timely communicator and a competent designer. He listened to our wants and needs including reusing as many of the original pavers as possible to reduce waste. Brett, Garrett and Glenn did the demo and reconstruction. They are professional and pay attention to detail. They exceeded our expectations in workmanship and project duration. Landscaping is not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Villa delivers on their promises and is worth the price.

Asked Renstrom to remove dead twigs from our gorgeous healthy tree. It was the highlight of our…read morefront yard. First he climbed our perfectly healthy tree using spiked boots. While I wasn't watching, they removed major healthy large limbs and stripped the tree of its leaves saying, "That's how photosynthesis works." No, it works via the leaves, as we all learned in 6th grade. We were shocked. Neighbors stopped by as they, too, were shocked. Our beautiful, healthy 40 foot tree died soon after. We agreed I would not pay him for killing our tree. I later read trees like this can increase home values by $10,000. To this day, I remain sickened by what happened and wish I would have sued for damages. We wanted twigs/thin dead branches removed in our back yard trees, too. This is a row of trees. Instead he cut them so each tree extended the same length into our yard - something I was not at all interested in. I cannot tell from the other reviews but maybe they used them for tree removal only. They might be good for that.

Jason and Josh came out the same day to estimate. We asked lots of questions and started the work within hours of agreeing on the price. We called them based on a postcard we received for a free estimate and that they had a certified arborist. We hired them based on their quick service and the information they gave about our trees and bushes as well as the options he provided. I'm a cautious buyer (and especially with tree, siding and roofing contractors - sorry contractors!). Jason is a fast talker (that makes me more cautious), but at the end of the day, I'm happy with the services True Tree Solutions provided. He delivered on his word of same-day, quality work. The crew worked hard and cleaned up everything before leaving. I appreciate Jason being on the job until the end to ensure everything was done as we discussed. He made sure throughout the process that we were happy with the work. I would hire them again.... likely in the fall to trim our huge willow trees, and plant some new trees.
