My wife and I purchased a home that the yard , surrounding home landscaping, and more than a dozen plus Oak and other trees ,were all overgrown and unkempt. We spoke with a number of landscape and tree trimming professionals. Wade Patten & Co. was the first to respond among several and was reluctant to price with the severity and scale, and the number of quotes we made him aware of we would be receiving for the entire project,but he proposed a per day fee until completed estimating @ 2-3 full days with a crew of 5. We selected Wade due to his professionalism and communication regarding what he recommended, our wish list ,and possible issues that may arise, he had a good plan and the amount of labor needed the pricing seemed very fair.He was not the cheapest or the most expensive , but the most comprehensive in the explanation of what was needed and could be expected.He arrived on time and asked if we could change the arrangement to a set fee and we agreed. His crew of 5 virtually attacked the looming task and after a very full first day the project was taking shape and looked amazing already. We did run into some unforeseen challenges and delays in the landscape tear outs,old concrete waterfall to coy pond down to fireplace, overgrown chase trees roots running under foundation,etc. but they plowed through every challenge. After the third full day they simply had a small brush pile to haul off. As well minimal construction/destruction damage to irrigation and other areas.Neighbors passing by as well came over and asked for his assistance in there yards seeing the work they had done.The transformation,completeness,and attention to detail, were beyond our initial hopes and expectations. His entire crew were very personable and extremely hard working . We highly recommend anyone needing these services start with Wade Patten & C0., you will not regret your choice, and save yourself time in the selection process! Thank You,... Wade &Gang!
