A couple of homes in my neighborhood had used Gulfside (James Martin) and we liked their results…read more Upon reading the reviews on this site, we decided to contact James for a complete overhaul of our landscaping -- a project that we expected would cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. We were unable to speak with James during the initial call, rather his assistant (Sue Thoma -- a very nice and upbeat person) said that we would have to first pay James $250 just to have an initial meeting during which he would decide whether he was interested in doing our job. We politely declined and were then about to move on to our second choice. A short while later Sue called back and said that James would welcome the opportunity to do our job and that there would not be a fee for the initial meeting. The meeting was held a couple days later and James indeed confirmed that he looked forward to doing the landscape work at our house. He presented a contract the next day which contained a $7,500 "Garden Design Fee." This was a bit unusual as most larger landscape contractors include the design as part of their overall service. James explained that he has had problems with customers getting his design and then going elsewhere. He also noted that the contract provided that if we retained his company, the "Garden Design Fee" would be credited against the overall project cost. Because our neighbors had assured us that James pricing would be fair, we proceeded to sign the contract and pay the fee. During the initial meeting, James had assured us that the design would be completed within two weeks and that the entire project would be completed two months. After submitting the signed contract and payment of the fee, James then advised that he would not be able to get to our design for four to six weeks. This was disappointing, however believing that we had the right person for the job we were accepting of the delay. Toward the end of the six weeks my wife contacted James to find out how the design was coming along and when we could expect to see the landscape plan. James assured her that the plan was coming along "nicely" and that he would be in a position to meet with us one week later to go over it. As it turned out, we were going to be out of town the week he wanted to meet so we set the meeting for the following week. James assured her that the landscape design would be complete and that his company would be ready to immediately move forward with the work. Then yesterday, one week before the scheduled meeting, we receive a letter from James (not even a phone call) saying that "due to circumstances beyond my control I am not going to be able to" provide the landscape design. The particular reason James stated in his letter was that he: "...devoted much thought and time to it and ... I am just not 'feeling it'." I do not feel that James Martin/Gulfside Landscaping is trustworthy. I will not recommend that others use their services.

One word sums up my experience with Cutchen's Tree Service. OUTSTANDING!!! I had 5 huge palm trees…read moreI needed taken out for a back yard project to revamp my pool and cement slab deck. This may seem a routine job, but the location of the trees could not have presented a more challenging task. First the back yard is a raised area held in place by a retaining wall approximately 3 feet in height that runs just 1 foot inside along one side and the rear of the fenced property line abutting the neighbors' properties. The 3rd side is set in approximately 15 feet from fence. The only entrance to the back yard is a 10-foot-wide entry gate from the driveway, but a lot of that area along the house is used for the pool equipment along one side of the home and a garden area along the fence. In other words, it is really tight. Then you had the location of the trees. Of course, they had been planted in the raised area along the back property line so there was no way to get close with a vehicle or equipment and only feet from the cement slab and the pool area. Finally, these were no tiny ornamental accent palms. They looked great 20 years ago, but had thrived in the extreme, with the 4 Sylvester palms growing to 12 feet tall with 20-to-26-inch diameter bases. Then, of course the final palm, a Canary Island Palm standing at least 35-40 feet high with a diameter base of 48 inches, had to be planted at the farthest corner of the raised yard. From a layman's perspective, I just knew this was going to be a problem and my expectations were that whoever did the job, I was going to be doing a lot of fix up projects with fears of broken fences, cracked slabs, trees in the pool, and trenches in the grass. But, even knowing this and having to account for the worst, I did my research. Looking over the reviews of several different companies, I had an expectation of the cost. Then, I read through all of the reviews. First, I was surprised to find many of the companies had only 10 to 20. The larger companies had perhaps 40 to 60. But Cutchens stood out with almost 200 reviews (Note - there are several review locations), the majority of them 5 stars with very low percentage of poor reviews compared proportionately to the other businesses. Next, I was impressed when the first representative looked over the project, showed me exactly what the difficulties would be and how they could be overcome, but didn't just throw out a no sweat answer. Knowing I would be looking for more estimates, the rep took some pictures and indicated he would have to speak with big guy before he could take on the job to ensure it could be done right as he expected. The next day, the owner, Ed, called back and asked if he could take a look personally. During his on-site visit, his experience showed through. After a few minutes, he came up with a plan, walked me through it, showed me where and how he could get his equipment in, and indicated he would have to take out the last palm in sections because of its location. He also went over how it cold be done safely and with little impact to the yard. In other words, he knew his stuff, answering every question I had in my head without my having to ask. It was impressive. To top it off, after stating, "This is a big job. I hate to say it but it's going to be expensive", he gave me his quote. When he came in with a number less than the lowest of my cost estimate, the deal was sealed. 4 days later, he and his team arrived on time as scheduled, and work began. No messing around. I watched as he managed to get the crane in with, after pulling in the mirrors, a 1-inch clearance. Then his team removed a portion of the side fence and placed pads to provide support of the crane. Several hours later, the job was finished exactly as he had informed me. How he managed to back the crane out, I have no idea (some things you just don't want to watch) but the gate stood unmarked, the fence panels had been put back in place, the area cleaned with no mess, garden beds still intact and raked, and no runs in the grass. In fact, I only realized they were finishing up when I found Ed out skimming the pool. That's attention to detail. Bottom line, Ed runs a tight ship and does exactly what he promised. Exactly, what I had seen running through out all those satisfied customer reviews. I would highly recommend he and his business "Cutchins Tree Service, to anyone, even those I dislike, because this crew deserves it.
