Roland and his Acacia crew deliver exceptional tree care rooted in deep knowledge and genuine care for each tree's health. Reviewers consistently praise his honesty about pricing and work scope, his thorough cleanup, and his willingness to teach homeowners how to maintain their trees long after the job ends. Roland's personal attention-from using a laser pointer during consultations to remembering trees across years-builds trust that keeps customers returning over decades. While scheduling can require patience given demand, his fair pricing and guaranteed estimates make the wait worthwhile for work that transforms oaks and other mature trees while preserving their long-term health.

Agave LD of Cedar Park

4.9(38)✓ Google-verified

Agave LD earns consistent praise for lawn fertilization, weed control, and ongoing maintenance that visibly improves yards over time. Staff are responsive, professional, and willing to fix mistakes like sprinkler damage at no cost. One customer reported rusty metalwork, a defective fence, and frustration with the 30-day warranty and slow resolution; the company disputed fault but did not fully engage on follow-up. Long-term customers (7 to 10 years) return repeatedly for seasonal services. The certified arborist team handles tree work, top dressing, aeration, and landscape design with care for underground utilities and clean-up. Their portfolio and proactive outreach impressed even customers outside their service area.
