Dan was prompt, kind and knowledgeable. He gave me a ton of great advice and followed up over text message. Rather than putting me on an expensive payment plan he taught me some simple techniques to help my trees thrive. His prices are reasonable and competitive. I will use Dan and the "A Tree Surgeon" group for all my arborist needs. Really great guy and honest company. Two thumbs up!!! read more

A Tree Surgeon did an outstanding job creating this wood pile out of huge unusable logs in random piles all over my property. Miguel meticulously split each log and placed them in an attractive arrangement near my front door. Fantastic!!! read more

I hired A Tree Surgeon to do a lot of work at my house in La Mesa. I read all of their reviews and they looked solid. I also researched a lot of other companies but felt that small company vibe when Dan came out for a bid. I decided to give them the business on the spot. Dan promised a good job and boy did he deliver! I can't say enough positive things about A TreeSurgeon. The work was very professional and fast. They did a bunch of Palm tree removal and trimming and skinning. They also Trimmeda huge eucalyptus tree that was hanging over the house. Nothing was broken when the job was done and the clean up was beautiful. Better than before they started. I would highly recommend A Tree Surgeon to any of my friends and family. John read more

Daniel and his team of 4 did a great job pruning five large trees, topping, shaping and thinning. Then for fire risk mitigation, cleaning up and hauling away all the material they removed from the trees. They have all the right equipment and skills to do the job well and carefully. Great attention to details. We have a particularly difficult lot that extends down about 75 feet vertically into a canyon on the edge of Mission Valley. When the Santa Anna winds blow, it comes up the canyon at 60+ mph and we have previously lost three trees to the wind. The work included fire break maintenance of the understory, in addition to thinning that improves wind resistance. The substantial cuttings had to be carried on their backs 85 feet vertically up a steep switchback path and to the front at the street where their truck and chipper/grinder were located. The work was well done and we are happy customers :-) read more

We had a lot of bushes, a large elm tree, & many pepper trees spread throughout the yard. Pepper trees suck! Dan & his crew came over & cut down the bushes/trees safely. Put the waste into their chipper & raked the yard clean...then comes the stump remover. About the size of a Fiat. It did the complicated job quickly & efficiently. That's how I'd describe this process with A Tree Surgeon...quick & efficient. Reasonably priced as well. read more

So happy that I hired A Tree Surgeon. I've always had our gardener trim our big trees and they looked like they had been chopped. I didn't really know any better. But I called A Tree Surgeon because I had an ailing tree I needed advice on so we didn't lose it. He came out and gave great advice and serviced the tree shortly after that. He also gave me a quote to trim our big trees that was right in line with what our gardener charges us but the trees look SO much better. They are beautiful. They look full but lacy. They guys were really attentive to details, often going back to prune one more branch after looking at the work they'd done. I could not be happier. They are now in charge of the care of my trees. read more

The first of this week, I heard a chipper-shredder going and walked down the street to a neighbor's house where a tree trimming crew was working -- was speaking to Daniel [ I believe ] about the work they were doing for my neighbor, and absorbing his comments about what was necessary for the tree they were workin on --- made sense to me, Then, all of a sudden, the *tree* "spoke" to ME! :O A voice came out of the tree sayin "That's the Highwayman! He helped me years ago when my VW broke down on the freeway! :) :) :) [ Always enjoy hearin from folks I've "met" out On the Road and successfully gotten out of harm's way. ] -- Anyways, I liked what I was hearin bout Daniel's philosophy bout savin & preservin trees, and went back to see the finished result that afternoon --- BEAUTIFUL! Young fella that had been IN the tree earlier thanked me agin for the freeway rescue -- it's ALways a pleasure! Well now, I'VE got some LARGE pecans that NEED these folks attention, soon as I kin afford to have it done, Guess WHO I'm gonna CALL? And today 09/20/2017 -- for the first time -- [ I can't DO it anymore ] I had to HIRE Daniel to reduce, lace, and trim my trees -- 6 of them DONE toDAY -- other 2 [ the LARGEST ] will haveta wait till spring -- "A Tree Surgeon" https://www.yelp.com/biz/a-tree-surgeon-jamul... Daniel, and his crew, did a great job! THANK YOU Dan, Yer the MAN! read more

Very helpful and friendly! I called with a distressed avocado tree and instead of trying to charge me an arm and a leg, he had a lengthy conversation on things I can do to help the tree. My tree (it seems) will likely die so I really appreciated the honesty and the fact he didn't push to come out and do an expensive service. We're hoping the tree bounces back and I'll look forward to working with them on other projects moving forward. read more

Dan, the owner of A Tree Surgeon, was friendly, knowledgeable and approachable upon meeting him for a free quote to trim our 7 trees. He left us feeling confident in our choice to use his company for our tree trim work. The crew were all very nice and respectful of our landscaping while doing the required work. They trimmed our trees artfully and with great care. We will use them again for all our tree maintenance going forward. read more

Dan worked with me and was so flexible and accommodating. He was able to get my elderly parents tree stump ground and their yard leveled out so they can now have a new tree planted. We will definitely be using this company again for any future tree needs. read more

Danny and crew did a great job on our trees. They were very professional, on time and worked hard! I can't express how great our trees look!

These guys did such an amazingly good job of rescuing my three dying trees last year, that I asked them to come again this year. Dan immediately knew what was wrong with them ( a bacterial infection) and did a thorough job trimming and treating with antibiotics. The trees grew back full and green and stayed that way so well, they then needed cutting back this year. Very pleasant and efficient and they really know their trees!!! read more

Daniel and his crew came out for an emergency tree removal. Our neighbor's large, neglected pine tree had fallen onto the side of our house and had punctured the exterior stucco and through to puncture the fiberglass surround of our bathtub. I had contacted 3 other arbor companies and only 1 returned my call! Fortunately our neighbors contacted Daniel and he was on to it right away. He even wrote up an arborist report that we could send to the neighbor's insurance company. Their insurance company said the tree was fine and that it fell from natural causes. Nay Nay! The tree was down in no time - along with 2 other neglected pines. They cleaned up their shavings and took away all the limbs. Beautiful job! read more

We previously have had trees removed twice in the 25 years we have lived in our home. Both times were disasters because other trees, shrubs, and even concrete drainage gutters were damaged (some of which were more than 50 feet from the job). After securing multiple bids for the removal of this very large 60 foot pine there was no doubt that A Tree Surgeon were the people to hire. Daniel was very knowledgeable, thorough, and patient in explaining what the job entailed and how he could accommodate any special requirements we had. Access to the tree had to be from our neighbors property and the job required removing the tree without disturbing the neighbors chicken pen (20 feet from the tree) or anything on their property. We also had other trees, shrubs, a large dog run, and a permanent swing that were all 20 feet or less from the tree. Daniel assured me that no harm would come to anything other than the pine tree so we chose A Tree Surgeon for the job and we are proud to say that we chose the right people. What was a monumental task due to the surrounding landscape and livestock was no problem for Daniel and his crew. They arrived at 7:30 a.m. and removed the tree without incident. Our neighbor wanted all of the wood chips and wood from the tree, which were spread and stacked per the neighbor's wishes. The entire job was completed by 11:30 a.m. Daniel and his crew did an excellent job and we will be doing business with them again. We do not hesitate in giving them our highest recommendation.

I hired these guys to trim my Dad's Palm tree's. We were throwing a suprise 60th B-day party for my Dad at his house , so I needed them done quickly. After having 2 different companies flake on estimates, Dan came through and met me at my Dad's on time and gave me a bid. I have a really busy schedule so when people flake it kills me. I recieved one other estimate from a company that was known around town that was a bit more, so A Tree Surgeon was who I was going with. I only gave them a 4 day window to get the job done. I gave them approval on Monday and by Friday my Dad's backyard looked like an island Paradise. I cant say enough about how good and professional these guys are. Thanks again for the great work. I would refer you to anyone. read more

Just had to say a public thanks to A Tree Surgeon Mascari for a job well done. And if your looking for a tree guy ... I hope you reach out to him! read more

Dan is amazing! We just bought a home and knew we needed to have a few trees looked at for trimming, but put it off...We noticed a crack in the tree and knew it was time to call. We were referred to Dan from our realtor and he came out right away to give us an estimate. We could not save the tree, but Dan came back the next day and removed the tree to prevent it from falling in our kids bedroom! He did an amazing job and even cleaned up after! We have recommended him to all our neighbors and will use him again for sure! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Daniel and his crew!!!! They went far beyond what we could have wished for in their services and work ethic. The craftsmanship is beautiful and the interactions with everyone was courteous, professional, and fun. We would not hesitate to recommend them!!! There is no doubt who we will hire in the future. read more

It took a while to get Dan over because (I am happy for him) he has been very busy. I guess that's a good sign that he does good work. So he came over and did a great job. I needed two palm tree stumps removed that were up against our building. He was careful not to damage the surrounding bushes and flowers; cleaned up after he was finished; and was in and out in about an hour. And he was pleasant to work with. I would definitely use him again if I need more work done. read more

while my previous review stands for the previous job, as i mentioned, i would have daniel out for all of our trees as well as rec. him to all of my friends.... we moved so i called him before i even called the moving trucks. he came out promptly and had his best guys on the job. our jacarandas were masterfully cut and the price was great. even if the price was more than other bids (which i did not take this time), i would choose him over other services because he knows and LOVES trees and wants them to be healthy. as a bonus, daniel also helped my sons learn the art of tree trimming and gave us some sage advice on how to hang swings in our yard. give him a call! read more
