Manzanita Landscaping has been maintaining our property for over six months now, and I highly recommend them. Most recently, the native scrub oaks in our yard were in need of some long-overdue care. J.T. and Pato spent a day removing all the dead limbs, cutting out as much of the parasitic mistletoe as possible, pruning away the lower branches to reduce the fire hazard, and hauling away all the debris. The trees now look much better than I expected they could, greatly improving the beauty of our property.

Response from the owner · 4 weeks ago

Thank you, Roland, for the thoughtful review and recommendation. We’re glad JT and Pato could provide careful native scrub oak care, including dead-limb removal, mistletoe removal, lower-branch pruning to reduce fire risk, and debris hauling. We appreciate your trust in Manzanita Landscaping for ongoing landscape maintenance and are delighted that your property looks better than expected.

We recently hired Manzanita Landscaping to perform several repairs, both minor and major, to our hard scape. We also had them add some additional features to manage drainage and irrigation. In addition we had them add 2 trees and the necessary irrigation. They tackled everything we wanted and more, developed robust solutions for the drainage mitigations which have performed flawlessly during several heavy rains this season. In addition to the great work performed by their friendly and competent crews, working with Paul the estimator, who also oversaw/ensured completion, and Erika in the office was a delight. Both were very competent and wonderful to deal with. Paul even came out during a hot and dry week to hand water the 2 newly planted trees to provide just a little extra water over the irrigation, since he knew we were out of town. WOW!

Hi Eric, thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re glad Manzanita Landscaping could help improve your hardscape, drainage, and irrigation systems, as well as add the two new trees and their irrigation. Drainage and irrigation solutions are important for protecting Northern Arizona landscapes, so it means a lot to hear that everything has performed well through the recent heavy rains. We’ll also be sure to recognize Paul and Erika for their communication, follow-through, and personal care throughout your project. Thank you for trusting Manzanita Landscaping with your landscape installation and repair needs. We truly appreciate your business and hope you continue enjoying your improved outdoor space.

Recently had a job done with Manzanita Landscaping. To summarize, I’d say we couldn’t be happier with the company. Specifically Julia and the crew that we had to pleasure of hosting for two weeks. We had zero landscaping to start. I had a vague idea of what we wanted but needed a little guidance. Julia came out to look at our property and really helped us come up with a solid design. Instead of asking what we wanted and let me struggle through my indecisiveness, Julie made meaningful suggestions which really helped us make choices. Our walkthrough with her at the nursery was very helpful as well as she made suggestions of what would and wouldn’t work within our area. Once everything was selected, the crew showed up the following Monday on time and ready to work. Adrian and his crew were phenomenal and they made little additions on their own that just really made everything come together. One example was the guys took it upon themselves to add some rock that was removed from my yard to an area of water run off to improve drainage. Another was to add a water line to a pre-existing planter box. Little touches like this really show how much these guys care—and we couldn’t be happier with the product.
