I've used Orchard Keepers for many years now to maintain the health of my huge citrus trees. I have two large tangerines, a large grapefruit and a huge kumquat. In addition to maintaining the health of my trees, they do a great job respecting my wishes of pruning artfully so that they look pretty too. I also have them prune a medium sized japanese maple that has a lovely triple trunk and layered form. Japanese maples are tricky to prune and you have to have a good technique to get that layered look. Orchard Keepers has done a beautiful job pruning this tree each year. I'm pickiest about this tree, and they aced it! read more

Andy and his crew did a fabulous job on our yard including replacing a tree that was rotting out on the inside. Our yard looks amazing and is exactly what we asked for as far as no grass and no tan bark. (They used a natural mulch which we love.) I love the rock pond, the way they re-used as much of the rocks and granite stepping stones we already had as they could. They also built up the terrain around our front porch which had worn down from rain over time. It looks much better now. We have to deal with ivy that we aren't able to remove because it comes from an easement, and Andy had good suggestions for things we could plant that would be able to stand up to it and not get taken over easily. They were all polite and personable. They were approachable, and we never felt like we were bothering them when we asked questions. We had an issue with our tree removal permit being very delayed, and they scheduled around it with no complaints. They cleaned up afterwards and it looked better than when they started. :-) The tree crew they brought in also did great work, removing a tree and two stumps very quickly and efficiently. They protected our cars/house from the debris of the stump grinder with a big board which was thoughtful. read more

I've worked with Orchard Keepers for many years to prune our four citrus trees: two lemons, one lime, and one orange. We missed last year, so this year required extra attention to reshape the trees, bring more light into the center, and lay down mulch. I was delighted to work with Dustin who had a lot of good observations and recommendations. This is a very nice company to work with. They are stable and set a high bar for professionalism and sociability. read more

I always look forward to having Orchard Keepers visit. They are knowledgeable, capable, efficient, and give good advice. I have an old, unmanaged orchard that they are helping me revive. They helped plant new trees from their nursery - wow beautiful stock and alot of work to plant correctly. Highly recommended. read more

We hired Orchard Keepers to landscape our backyard, which was a complete blank slate when we purchased our home. We couldn't have made a better choice. They have been a pleasure to work throughout the process. All of their employees are knowledgeable and personable, and they show excellent attention to detail in their work. Communication has also been a strong point: open and productive. They also showed a good eye for the details of the design, like with exact flagstone arrangements. One bonus relief, the neighbors are all happy. There's been no trouble at all with noise or parking. read more

In East Side San Jose. Have been using Orchard Keepers a few years. Don't have the energy to care for the several fruit trees. I took off one star because getting their email reminders for visits and/or communication is sometimes lacking. Other than that I really like the workers, they are fine young people who apparently love their work and the land. Now I no longer worry about caring for my fruit trees. I encourage them to take fruit for themselves so it does not go to waste. read more

We've been working with Orchard Keepers for approximately 8 months. We had a loose idea about what we wanted--a yard that would attract birds, butterflies, and bees; that would consist of mostly native plants with minimal water requirements; and a natural approach to weed suppression. Orchard Keepers has turned this into a reality. We're delighted with both the design and the installation. They have a broad range of expertise across their team and readily consult with each other. We've enjoyed our interactions with everyone from the company. They're friendly people who work well with each other and with us. We're now moving into the maintenance phase and appreciate their approach, which is not rote, but based on the seasonal needs of the plants. We're also having them help us maintain our existing fruit trees. Orchard Keepers is reliable about communicating, showing up, keeping to a schedule (as much as the elements will allow), following through and following up. read more

Worst decision we have ever made. Feel completely scammed by this company. I believe they were once reputable but in the last year they have gone way down hill. We lost a lot of money having to redo their work and the trees we didn't replant that they planted all died and they made no efforts to reimburse or replace the trees. Very disappointing and no communication from the owner in 6 months after many attempts. read more

Orchard Keepers is finishing a landscape remodel in my backyard. The backyard was all ornamentals and turf. I wanted fruit trees and vegetables, my partner wanted flowers. Somehow they incorporated both into a beautiful harmony. They are amazing, knowledgeable, respectful and truly nice people. I can't give them enough praise!!! read more
