Reviews of local pros in Rochester, Washington

Here they go again. Nichole installed the most beautiful seasonl annual color in our yard this spring. The colors really POP! Buds & Blades are real Pros.

Rick and the team at Buds & Blades is absolutely AmaZing!!! All of Rick's experience in the industry in our area truly shines through. They are a great company to work with.

A tree fell on top of our cars and they were super quick getting here and cutting away at the tree! They were speedy and professional! Great experience!!

Fantastic company to work with! Very communicative and straightforward. Rick and everyone on the crew have always been so polite and helpful. Thanks Buds & Blades!

Thank you, Buds and Blades. Hector and Alan tuned up my badly neglected yard sprinkler system. They were knowledgeable and got everything in good working order; they were patient, answered all of my questions and took the time to explain to me how to adjust my system, sprinkler heads and other parts of my system. I will be able to get my yard in shape now. I am appreciative of the quality work they did and their customer service. I would recommend Buds and Blades for sure.

Rick and his crew are the best! Not only is their work high quality but Rick is a total professional and his crew is on time, skilled and friendly. We have used Buds & Blades for routine yard maintenance and special event yard clean up and pruning. Highly recommend this landscape company!

I put in a drought resistant lawn this past summer. I wasn’t really prepared for the fall leaves. In my mind I was sure BnB would not be blowing the leaves off the gravel. My husband and I were trying to decide how to do that ourselves.
I came home Tuesday afternoon and ‘Voila’ the leaves had been blown away!! And not by the wind. Needless too say those dear hard working men and the wonderful company they work for did it. Just a note to say thank you and how very kind you are to have done that. You truly are an amazing company and I hope we never lose you. Thank you again!!

I learned about Buds & Blades at a City of Lacey sponsored event that provides information and resources to HOAs. Customers of Buds & Blades receive one-on-one time with the owner Rick Longnecker, who spends as much time as needed to answer questions, provide professional recommendations, and make suggestions when needed. He recently, upgraded Greenbriar Estates 25-year-old irrigation system with new heads and nozzles, along with repositioning a dozen heads. The employee who worked on the system was very experienced and was able to problem solve an unforeseen situation involving tree roots. After the work was completed, Rick followed up to see that everything was working properly. In our case there were clogged sprinklers that needed to be cleaned out, which were subsequently taken care of the next day. The HOA was very pleased with the results, and with Buds & Blades’ professionalism.

Transform your yard with Buds and Blades! They took my outdoor space from drab to fab. My grass was struggling, overtaken by weeds, but Rick and his team replaced the dead patches with fresh sod. Rick had a knack for envisioning exactly what would make my lawn and flower beds shine. They added river rock to enhance the look and reduce weed growth in the beds. When heat stress affected some of the grass, Buds and Blades responded promptly—someone was on site the same day I called for advice. Their responsiveness, expertise, and strong work ethic are truly impressive. I’m thrilled with the high-quality results and the excellent follow-up from Rick and his team.

"Absolutely the most caring, kind, and principled landscaping company. They take great pride in their work, focusing on the artistic harmony of the surrounding nature."

The Best

Called to have them come out to sort a well pump electric problem for my disabled mother and family, not a call back period, will not call them again!

Hands down, BEST contractor we worked with in our entire house building experience! Clear communication and planning from the start, worked us into his schedule as quickly as possible at short notice, and completed work with quality and efficiency - at a more than fair price! Anyone who needs electrical work would be crazy not to hire Jerry!

Carlson Electric was great to work with. Got back to me quickly, came out early the next day, and worked with us despite scheduling issues with the energy company. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend. Had an electrical line issue in my barn that needed an ASAP repair. I called Carlson Electric when they opened and Jerry said he would get someone right out. His crew arrived within a half hour, and the issue was repaired an hour after I called. THANK YOU Carlson Electric.

I needed a 250v receptacle installed in my garage for a plasma cutter. The service panel was full and they used tandem breakers to make room for the 50a breaker. Problem solved. Reasonably priced. I called and they came out the next day. And they're a local, family owned business. Kj
