We are a full service landscape and tree removal company. Services we offer: sod and shrub installation, brush removal, tree removal including dead and dangrous trees, hardscape installation, retaining walls, patios, drainage, irrigation.

"Myers Landscape and Tree Service did an outstanding job on my yard. The project included trimming a large oak tree, installing sod front and back, removing old plants and installing azaleas, gardenias, ferns, river stone and pine straw in the planting beds. I called Adam because of his work helping my in-laws a few years prepare their house for sale. That job included brick work that looked great. He gave first rate advice on the plants to use, how to shape the tree during trimming and the best areas of the yard to install the sod. He was easy to contact for scheduling the work and updating those dates when inclement weather caused delays. I'm pleased with the results and the cost for the project was very reasonable. I highly recommend that you use Myers Landscape for your yard and tree work."

Founded in 1977 and in its third generation as a family run business, Alabama Professional Services, Inc., is now one of the largest pest control and crawl space contractor companies in Alabama. By following through on a promise of excellent customer service, quality installations, and industry leading products, Craig Williams, President of Alabama Professional Services, Inc., and his company are constantly growing, establishing themselves in a position at the very top of their industry.

"Received a quote from a salesman at APS. Once we signed the contract and scheduled a day for the work to be done, we were "ghosted" by the salesman. I had emailed with questions about the job and no one emailed me back. After a week or two I contacted the company (APS) and was told the salesman had not shown back up for work, but no one at APS had bothered to let me know what was going on. I was told that if we wanted to cancel our contract, we would receive a refund. After many weeks, we received a check for only 1/2 of our deposit. I couldn't believe that under circumstances, beyond our control, APS would not try to make it right and issue a full refund for our deposit. I will be sure to tell everyone I know about the horrible service I received from APS."

Adam Elliott is an ISA Certified Arborist who offers services such as large tree removal, tree pruning, stump grinding, tree cabling, fertilization, hazard assessments and much more! ACE Tree owns 38 ton crane for safe and efficient tree removal.

"I was a longtime and happy Ace customer. I agreed to pay $700 for having a limb cut down, cut up and all of the wood debris hauled away. That was our agreement. They cut the limb down. In the process, they busted my retaining wall and flower box/garden. It was discovered that a wasp nest had been disturbed and we were instructed to get them taken care of, then they would be back to finish the job and repair the retaining wall. We had the wasps taken care of the next day and called Ace Tree Service to let them know that we were ready for them to come back. We had numerous conversations and exchanged emails. There were many instances when we were told that someone was coming but nobody ever showed up. The large limb was left in the yard. I cut it up and hauled it away myself. I repaired the wall myself. I gave them multiple opportunities to come out and finish the job, but after several attempts and promises of “we’ll get someone other this week” I gave up and did myself. This was done back in July. I didn’t hear anything from Ace Tree for 3 months, but then suddenly they started hounding me for a “past due” invoice for a job they never completed."

Classic Gardens & Landscape, Inc. was founded in January of 1990. Previously in the same location was another landscape/garden center that Mike had worked with for five years. When that business left they took everything with them. Mike and Ann started over from scratch. The name Classic was chosen to signify the quality type of garden center that Mike & Ann had envisioned. But a name alone does not a garden center make. Questions were asked, “What is most important to customers that shop at garden centers?”. Our answers such as excellent quality and a huge selection of hard to find plants were obvious. But the most important asset of a quality garden center is excellent Service and very knowledgeable staff.

"Premium cost, failed to meet expectations When visiting my home to assess what I needed, several details regarding problems in my landscaping were discussed, that I assumed were understood and included in the bid they then provided. After the work was done this week, while I was at work and not here to monitor, I came home to find that these details were missed. When following up with them, all they would stand behind was what was specifically noted on the bid, not the expectations I walked away with. These expectations factored into my decision to choose them over other bids. This bid was the highest one I obtained, and I chose it because I knew I wouldn’t be here to monitor the work was done to my satisfaction. I guess you don’t always get what you pay for. Tips for whoever chooses to do business with these folks – 1) Make sure every expectation is explicitly noted on the bid you sign for the work; 2) Be home when the work is being done to ensure all the expectations are being met, and the work isn’t rushed; and 3) Don’t put too much faith in a landscape company that is mostly known for their weekly talk-radio landscaping show."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

One of the most effective ways to improve lawn absorption is to learn how to aerate your lawn. This is a process where you poke tiny holes all throughout it to break up tough soil and sediment, creating pathways for sunlight, water, air, and nutrients to seep into the plant’s roots. In turn, it promotes stronger root systems, making your lawn or plants less susceptible to pests and disease. Ideally, you’ll want to aerate your lawn at least once per year during the growing season—think late summer to early fall. 

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.

When your sod is new, you should keep an eye on it to prevent dehydration. As new sod plants its roots into the soil beneath it, it can easily get dehydrated and start to turn brown. Keeping a consistent watering schedule for your new sod will help prevent this issue and will help it thrive as it roots into your yard.

Once your sod is about six weeks old, you can start to establish a regular lawn maintenance routine, complete with mowing, edging, and fertilizing.  

Services typically include mowing, edging, trimming, and debris cleanup. Additional options may consist of fertilization and weed control.

Yes, you can use compost on your lawn alongside or even instead of standard fertilizer. Compost is rich in nutrients and organic matter and restores the balance and health of your soil. It also replenishes depleted soil, adding volume as well as nutrients. It's a great alternative to synthetic slow-release fertilizer. And if you compost at home, you can save money by applying your own compost.
