Landscaping reviews in Seabrook, Texas

Tree service is exceptional -- been using Bay Area Tree for 12 years. Conservative approach, stick with their estimates and do a superb job of clearn-up. Very trustworthy and not one to encourage unnecessary work.

This nursery has the most beautiful plants. The staff is friendly and helpful. I went when they had a butterfly garden expert. They were able to help me create a small garden on my budget.

Great job by this tree trimming service. They worked efficiently as a team trimming and removing all tree debris. First time we ever used them and we will definitely use them again. Five star work!

I use to really enjoy coming here because everything was priced well. That's not the case anymore. I went there today and noticed that practically everything has been priced 40% higher than it was about three weeks ago. If I'm going to over pay I'll go down the road a little ways where the selection is much larger. I won't be back.

Love this place! I can get lost for an hour in here. It’s small but has a big selection of plants and lots of decor. This is a great place to pick up stone or brick if you need it. They also do custom landscaping.

Thank you, Mardel, for creating our gorgeous landscape design! Magdell and his team worked tirelessly for three days bringing your vision to life. I was so impressed! I look forward to working with you guys in the future for maintenance to keep our yard looking beautiful. 😊

Barbara is not only sweet and knowlegeable but does beautiful planters! Amy, Reed and others always helpful. Priced right with healthy plants. I stop in everytime I go by, even if I dont need anything.

We had an enormous dying gum ball tree which was awkwardly placed over our garage with a 22Kw generator directly underneath it. The base of the trunk was at least 4' x 3' and the height was extreme - I'd guess at least 50'. A previous potential contractor quoted a sky-high price and stooped to absolutely abusive calling and texting to get our business. Fortunately Bay Area Tree was highly recommended by a professional arborist and came with an intelligent appreciation of the removal job and an attractive cost estimate. They arrived at the appointed time with a large, well-equipped crew and took care of that enormous tree in a single day with no damage to garage, generator or anything else. They neatly stacked a bunch of right sized logs for our outside fireplace, took down that enormous stump to well below ground level and cleaned up entirely after themselves. They even trimmed a couple of live oaks on our front lawn gratis just because hey needed it. I cannot recommend them enough - fabulous contractors!

Had entire front yard torn out and redone. Design process was easy, yet thorough. Very pleased with final product. Would definitely use again/recommend.

The name should read "Bay Area Bate and Switch". Absolutely terrible business practices. Unmarked trees as far as prices allowed for employees to complete a transaction paid in full, only to receive a call the day before delivery/installation to be told that the tree was undersold and either need to pay higher price or refund. When held to the contract, after taking a vacation day for the installation and being assured that the tree would be planted that day, at the end of the day the owner Larry called to berate me personally accuse me of wrong doing and advise that they would not be there but would at some point in the following week however he could not say when.

They are total scam. The salesman who sold the tree told me that he made a mistake. The lady who called admitted that the salesman made a mistake. The salesman told me that he told the owner it was completely his fault. I did nothing wrong except to expect them to carry out the contract as I had done my part by paying in full in advance and agreed to a no warranty contract on the tree. After the non delivery and the accusatory call from the owner it became clear that if they actually ever did install the tree there was a high likelihood that the owner would sabotage the tree causing it to die. i was paying $500 which I cannot not afford to risk after witnessing his behavior. i highly recommend that buyer beware at this place. The employees are either incompetent, untrained or have no authority to make/complete transactions and are subject to sabotage by the owner if he is unhappy with their actions and in his mind it is the customer who must pay. I assume he is used to over charging causing him to freak out, act extremely unprofessional and rude. If you do business with them.......good luck.

Second time in 4 years that we've used Bay Area, this time to not only clean up a live oak and ash but to remove a dying silver leaf maple. As before, the quote was the best in town, the crew arrived exactly when we were advised and they quickly and professionally removed the maple and cleaned up the oak and ash.

Finding reliable tree service folks in the Houston area is challenging and we plan to stick with Bay Area. No need to compete quotes when the value delivered meets or exceeds your expectations.

NO, NO, NO !! I had the opportunity to observe this organization perform work for several neighbors yesterday. Workers did not follow basic safety protocols and did not tie off. They did not control branch fall and branches fell on items. They did not properly place ladders and roofing materials were damaged. Ladders were not properly tied off. Workers simply hacked at the trees, they clearly did not understand where to cut branches for the health of the trees or to create an attractive end result. THEN they informed me that they were going to climb on my roof and climb in my trees to complete the job. When I asked about proof of insurance, they either could not or would not provide any such information. Based on their workmanship and complete lack of safety compliance I denied them access, but it cost me almost 2 hours of oversight to make sure that they did not climb my trees anyway. If I had not been home at the time I am convinced they would have been on my roof and in my trees without permission. They may be "Bay Area" but "Tree Experts" they clearly are not!! AVOID AT ALL COST!

Really efficient crew. 6 guys came out, trimmed the trees plus some punch list items for me in less than 1 hour. More importantly they moved all my patio furniture and put it back as well as extremely good job on the cleanup of the yard, patio and front drive where they mulched the tree. All for 600.00 less than the next competitive bid.

It may be a small nursery, but they had some great selections! A lot of individual plants and plenty of arrangements too! They also had some succulents that I haven't seen in normal retail stores. Will totally go again!

I have used them a couple of times and they did a great job both times. David knows his stuff and let me know of a tree termite problem I would have never caught. Just be forewarned, they are always booked up so plan ahead as you will be waiting for awhile but you will be glad you used them.

Love this place! Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly people (ask for Barbara!), decent prices, and good service when they delivered and planted the trees. Beautiful and healthy Crepe Myrtles and Bougainvilleas! And a whole lot of other great looking plants. Plus they do landscaping and have a lot of stones, pavers, water features and more!

I used Bay Area Design & Landscape to completely re-landscape my front and back yards. I was very apprehensive about what it would look like for the cost, but Mardel provided a fantastic design and the finished product was better than I could have expected. The installation crews were efficient, professional, and cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day (we had a 5 day installation). Mardel truly has a GIFT for landscaping! If you are in the market for these types of services, you owe it to yourself to contact Bay Area Design & Landscaping!

I have used this nursery for the last ten years and their service and product selection and quality keeps improving!! They are the best in our area, I highly recommend the nursery. I have also used their design and landscape services and their talent and quality of work is unmatched!!! Mardel and her team are very creative, courteous and have impeccable taste and style!!! Two green thumbs up for this place!

I was referred to BAN by the previous homeowner for sprinkler maintenance. I called them, no one answered, and received an automated text response. After providing information via text, Brian was scheduled to come over 3/20.

Brian and I walked the job which specifically included removing Kap Its from multiple sprinklers, elevating them, and relocating 3 sprinklers in the backyard. He said it would cost $250-300 and asked if I wanted a written quote. I shrugged it off, as he seemed trustworthy, and said 'No worries!'

4/4 I reached out to BAN to see when they would be arriving as I had heard absolutely nothing from them for almost a week. They responded quickly saying Brian had an emergency and would have to reschedule. We rescheduled for 4/5.

4/3 I texted because there was again zero scheduling established. BAN confirmed Brian would be there "after lunch, around 230." Around 11:10am on 4/5, BAN informed me he was running behind and asked if he could come Saturday morning. I replied, "Yes, that's fine, hopefully he will bring breakfast as well."

Spoiler alert: he didn't.

Brian and his crew of 2 showed up on time Saturday morning at 8am. We did not discuss the scope of work that morning because I felt we had a thorough conversation two weeks ago about what needed to be done.

An hour after they arrived, I went outside to check on the progress of the work. Brian was nowhere to be found so I spoke to one of the workers. One of them spoke very little English, the other gentleman did not speak any English, and my 3 years of Spanish from high school did not exactly make me a fluent Spanish speaker. He said they were ready to run the zones to see how they looked. I obliged and asked him where all the Kap Its were they had removed. He seemed confused. I showed him a spare Kap It I had the garage, it did not clear up his confusion.

I texted BAN and asked them if they could communicate to the workers. I went to look at the sprinklers we had discussed two weeks prior and found the Kap Its were still attached to the sprinkler heads and had not been removed. I informed BAN the work I had discussed with Brian was not being executed properly.
I spent the rest of the afternoon outside, actively managing the job with the two gentlemen onsite and getting quite wet in the process. They were very friendly, patient, and hard-working.

4/11 I receive an invoice from BAN for $354, well above the amount quoted. I text them requesting a phone call to discuss the difference, no one called. Around 4:30pm, I call and receive the same automated text response from my first call. 4/12 at 8am I get a text from BAN saying they will check on the discrepancy on the invoice. I replied how the first hour the workers were onsite they were not actively working on the job scope Brian and I had discussed and were merely making subtle adjustments to straighten the sprinklers.

4/19 I reach out via text to touch base, no reply. 5/3 BAN finally calls me. I spoke to the rep for about 5mins and described in detail about how Brian did not properly convey the scope of the job to the workers onsite and how I had to actively manage the job since Brian was nowhere to be found. In hindsight, his probably saved them a lot of money since I was working for free for a contractor whom I hired. After explaining the situation, the rep said, 'I'm still not sure what I can do, the amount of work done was more than what was initially thought," I replied the amount of work completed was exactly inline with the amount of work we had discussed two weeks prior and they needed to adjust the invoice per Brian’s verbal quote.

5/7 BAN texts me saying they are waiting on Brian to adjust the invoice. 5/13 I receive an invoice for $292. Fine, paid in full, never to be hired again.

Another fun fact: early in this journey with BAN, I referred them to one of my family members. He contacted them, scheduled a day to do the work, but no one ever showed up. Even when he texted them asking if they were even going to bother to show up that day, they simply ghosted him.

I have a very large oak tree that needed pruning. I also had several trees on my fence line hanging over from the neighbors that I typically trim to the property line. Bay Area did a great job pruning and cleaning up. I was surprised at the amount that they actually had to prune off. It looks great now. Prices can be beat, but this company follows safety protocols and are insured. I've had "cowboys" without tie offs trim my trees in the past, and I wonder if they are still alive. I've also had ridiculous quotes from "professional arborists" that are over selling the arborist title. Bay Area Tree Experts did a great job. I highly recommend them.

Top-notch tree service! I had 10 trees that needed to be removed, including several large pine trees that were very near my neighbor's fence line. Bay Area Tree Experts removed the trees, ground the stumps, and hauled off all the debris - with no problems! Very polite and professional... I'll definitely use them the next time I need tree help.
