What recent reviews say

Strong installation work and fair pricing draw consistent praise, but persistent gaps in follow-up service undercut the experience. Ted's crew excels at tree selection, planting (including large specimens), transplanting, and hardscape work; warranty replacements happen promptly when contacted. However, some customers face ghosting on warranty claims, failed irrigation systems, and missed estimate appointments, creating a meaningful divide between initial execution and ongoing support.

Recent shift: No shift in sentiment over time. The same mix of strong installation praise and communication/follow-up complaints appears consistently across the full two-year period of reviews.

Praised for
  • tree expertise and selection
  • professional installation crews
  • fair to reasonable pricing
  • reliable warranty service
  • owner Ted is friendly and accessible
Watch-outs
  • poor communication and responsiveness after sale
  • no-show estimates and scheduling
  • irrigation system failures
  • unprofessional owner conduct in disputes
quality-workmanshipprofessional-crewfair-pricingreliable-crewtransformed-yardpoor-communicationno-showresponsive
Best for: Homeowners needing tree selection advice and professional large-tree planting or removal in Austin.
Think twice if: Irrigation work or expecting long-term warranty support; communication gaps and no-shows on early estimates have frustrated multiple customers.

Strengths

  • Owner Ted directly consults on plant selection
  • handles large specimen trees (100+ gallons)
  • warranty replacements honored when reached
  • fast turnaround on installation (often same week)

Worth knowing

  • Owner Ted personally consults on plant selection and estimates
  • Staff include Mary Esther (named in reviews)
  • Large tree installation expertise (100-gallon hollies, cypress, live oak, crepe myrtle)
  • Warranty replacements documented (ailing plants replaced quickly)
  • One irrigation system failed from install day; owner unresponsive for 2 years despite multiple contact attempts
