Stronghold Vegetation Management was the best choice for our storm recovery needs. I called and their crew showed up the day after Hurricane Beryl with everything they needed to remove a large tree that fell on my house. They took care not to create more damage in doing so. They also cleaned up my yard as part of completing the work. Fast, honest, and is there when he says he will be. I would trust Stronghold for any job.

We had a short notice job that needed to be performed. Stronghold Vegetation Management was contacted, the owner came out to review the work the same day, and the crew was onsite two days later. The entire experience was beyond perfect. The crew was on-time, work performed exceeded expectations and was performed safely. The site carried with it special considerations which were handled precisely.Will be calling upon Stronghold Vegetation Management again.

Stronghold has handled all of our vegetation maintenance and landscaping since 2015. Over the years, their team has completed a number of landscape and irrigation installation projects, in addition to maintaining the lawn and landscape appearance of our administration facilities. These guys are consummate professionals who have been there and done that but, they are still friendly, down-to-earth and easy to deal with. Two thumbs up!
