I felt the price was quite high, but foolishly didn't get other bids. Shame on me. The work was satisfactory, although we have run-off problems and some dead shrubs which we don't expect they will ever fix. Because I had used them, I had them bid on a job putting additional up/down lights in a few more tree clusters around the house, as well as a refresh on the mulch. The Rep (who was my Rep on the original job) came out, took about 20 minutes to hear the details and walk around, and then handed me a bid for $5,400 (NOT including tax). This included 7 up lights, 3 down lights (total of 10 lights) and delivery and spreading of 8 cubic yards of cedar mulch in our flower beds. I was somewhat shocked at the price and how quickly he arrived at the number, so I had 2 other reputable landscape companies in our area come out. After coming out, it took them several days to prepare the bid. Obviously Acacia was the highest bidder by far. The next highest (Landscaper "B") quoted 6 up lights, 8 down lights, and 1 up light for a future flagpole (15 lights) for $2,100. Acacia was almost 88% higher for 5 less lights (and I confirmed they were same low wattage/LED brass lights installed previously). Acacia quoted $1,397.50 for 8 yards spread of cedar mulch where "B" quoted 8 to 12 yards of black dyed mulch (higher quality), delivered and spread for $1,216.00. I didn't choose "B" as the 3rd quote was even lower for the same job with 15 lights and some river rock and diverts to help with the runoff issue Acacia never addressed. I called Acacia several days ago to speak with the Office Manager and shared my frustration. I was pointed, but never raised my voice or was rude other than to tell her how embarrassed and disappointed I was to have been fooled initially. I have not heard back from them with an explanation of how their estimate can be so wildly off of what other landscapers would bid the job for. I did not share Acacia's bid with them at any time, although I did mention to "B" after they presented their bid that it was much lower than another company I had bid the work. He asked who, I said "Acacia", he smirked and said, "yeah, they run pretty high". I don't know about the other jobs they bid, but I felt like I had "sucker" printed on my forehead. Caveat Emptor

Not only did they dig up the ivy and put down the mulch, they also trimmed our bushes and dug up a few that looked pretty bad. They took great pride in their work and it shows! They were very professional and a pleasure to do business with.

Some would not even come if they thought our costs would be under $3000.
We had lived a short time in Kerrville prior to moving to Boerne, and I recalled passing Texas Tree Services in Kerrville. I was concerned that we lived 30 miles away, but after our lack of responses, we called them.
They were here the next day and gave us an estimate, explained their services, what to expect, and even had a senior discount. Since we are newly retired, that was a very nice surprise and not one we had expected. We also had not expected an added expense for tree services when we had bought our home. The Senior Discount is very thoughtful.
We also found at the end, that there had been no hidden costs as I had been surprised to see on other reviews. The final price was what we had been quoted initially.
After setting a time and date for the service which would be the next day (how surprised we were!), the supervisor and crew arrived exactly on time. The Supervisor, Randy, talked to us as the crew set-up. There was a cherry-picker and a mulcher. The professionalism of the Crew actually caught our attention; professional work method and professional manners.
We were surprised and impressed also to watch them clean up as they went. Amos picked up the fallen limbs as they were cut down by Tino ; he then carried them to the mulcher in the front where Mike ground them up. They worked constantly as an effective Team. We never cringed or worried as they got to within a foot of our new home or carried away the limbs over our new yard.
I was also very surprised to see Mike even raking the leaves, twigs, etc, that had fallen down into the yard.
They worked constantly; took no breaks except for a very short lunch.
We moved here from the DC area and have learned Life moves more casually here for so many things we have needed to get done.
We heard several times 'we're on our way'..only to have the service person show up 3 days later. We are learning to smile and 'slow down' as best we can.
So, to have the Texas Tree Service of Kerrville show up on time, have a great work ethic, and watch a professional Crew..is something that I felt had to be shared with others who may be like we were...looking for good Service and not finding it where we looked. Angie's List is new to us. We have never needed it before. But here in a new State and a new Town and not knowing anyone, it is a great place to begin! I would have felt much better had I seen this review when we first looked on Angie's List. I hope it helps others who might be looking for Tree Service like we were."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/kerrville/texas-tree-service-reviews-5987838.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Mother Nature Lawn & Landscape","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"David B."},"reviewBody":"ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING EFFORT BY TOM, CINDY, AND THE TEAM! We began by contacting Tom to explain our project. He immediately contacted Cindy Stauder for us; she visited several times to work out a landscape design that incorporated all of our ideas and her recommendations. The plan took into account sight lines, varying plant heights, our desire for reduced watering and maintenance requirements, and aesthetics. Once the plan was complete, we visited several times with Tom. Between Tom and Cindy, we worked out changes to the overall plan to incorporate our existing irrigation system, as well as changes to a few of the plants to vary colors. Both Tom and Cindy were very receptive to our inputs. Once we committed to the plan, Cindy came out to draw outlines of the planting beds, and left the marking tool behind for us to make any changes. Again, both Tom and Cindy were receptive to our inputs, and the installation process began. Tom's crew was outstanding! They cleaned up the driveway and sidewalk at the end of each day; they were hard-working and well-supervised throughout the entire process. There was certainly no \"lounging around\" as might be found on another project site. Tom was extremely cost-conscious throughout the project--in our favor. Where the opportunities presented themselves, he reduced the size (and cost) of the installed plants (i.e. from a 50-gallon tree to a \"mature\" 35-gallon). Also, as he wanted the project to succeed through hot Texas summers, he ensured that our existing sprinkler system was entirely revamped; our water expenditure will drop significantly, while the sprinkler coverage will be much more effective. So what was the result? Two full planting beds (with decorative boulders, trees, plants, mulch) plus river rock in the front yard; perimeter and internal planting beds (with trees, plants, mulch) plus river rock in the back yard; full sprinkler system re-do; flagstone steps leading to a side gate as well as steps from a deck in the back yard. Top-notch effort all around. Especially notable was the personalized service provided by Tom and his crew. All of our questions were answered; our concerns were addressed immediately; our suggestions for changes to the original plan were acted upon. Tom was on-site almost every day ensuring that we received the product we paid for--and beyond."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/san-antonio/mother-nature-lawn-and-landscape-reviews-269826.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"AMISTAD LANDSCAPING","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"KELLY S."},"reviewBody":"Came and did estimate, made suggestions for replacement plantings in some beds, removal of some plants, etc. I wanted a general clean up/freshening.

I do NOT recommend this company. After completion of tree trimming out septic lines began to leak. Four independent septic companies said the lateral lines had been crushed by being run over. BP Tractor's mulching equipment was directly over the area of our lines. I contacted them and asked...
Excellent. The workers were fast, meticulous, and worked in 105 degree weather to boot. Professional job. They even sprayed the mulch w a commercial grade roundup.
Tree Musketeers sent Nick out to survey what I wanted done after I signed up for a coupon for $399 for 8 hours of landscaping service. We discussed a comprehensive plan that included much i'd neglected over the years. He and the owner, Josef, priced it out and I gave the go-ahead. They were...
Nick not only performed all services on time and with high quality, but went above and beyond when replacing our grass and mulch for no extra charge! Excellent overall! Highly recommend.

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
