Holland Tree & Landscaping

The detail that sticks from Holland Tree's reviews is plywood on the lawn. An April 2019 customer described the crew laying it down to protect the grass, hauling off the debris piles and leaving a few cut logs behind for firewood — exactly as asked. A May 2018 reviewer made the same point another way: careful not to disturb the rest of the yard, and they clean up. Leo Holland runs the company out of Hyde Park, where BBB lists him as principal, grades the business A+ and puts it at 16 years; its Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles claim 26 years of experience. Trees are the work — removals, trimming, shrub cutting — with snow removal listed alongside, plus free estimates and Spanish spoken. The written history is dated: 23 reviews running from 2017 to 2023, 22 of them on Angi. The most recent, from April 2023, describes Leo and his associates as professional and knowledgeable, with the customer's only regret being that he hadn't called sooner. A November 2019 reviewer had a large mimosa trimmed along with out-of-control arborvitae and lilac shrubs, the debris cleaned up, and gutter cleaning and a downspout repair handled at the same time. Price comes up kindly in the older accounts. A December 2020 customer called it very reasonable; a May 2019 customer who had hired him before said the same about his costs, and that the job went quickly. Two things to raise when you call. A 2022 customer who rated the work 4.5 stars used the review itself to ask for a receipt for the $3,800 paid, so settle the paperwork before you settle up. Scheduling has rough edges too: a November 2019 customer called the crew a little tardy, and a September 2019 customer described a couple of blips before the two sides got together — the work itself, both said, came out well. Angi's and HomeAdvisor's profiles note a few billing and communication complaints among mostly positive reviews. For a tree removal or an overgrown yard around Hyde Park, this is a crew that treats the lawn like it matters. Get the price and the receipt in writing, and pin down the date when you book.
