Default Landscape maintenance company needed

Please advise me of someone to trim plants/palm trees, weed and maintain
an irrigation system. Someone who can do a "good" job for a "fair" price AND
show up when they are supposed to! Have tried four companies with no luck!

Usually bushes and trees/palms are trimmed by different people. You need an arborist to do the trees over 12 feet high, because their workers comp insurance is different. The arborist pays about the same insurance rate as a roofer. Landscape workers rate is quite a bit lower, as long as they don't work over 12 feet off the ground.

Many people would love to use one company that "does it all". Please let us know if you find such a company. I think they're as scarce as hen's teeth.

I think Stellar does it all. With the exception of tall palm trees, don't know about that.

I believe Dean's does it all as well. Don't know about palm trees with them either.
