The BEST Tree Trimming Experience--Look No Further! (Ask for Jose!) I am absolutely THRILLED with the service I received--this company truly knocked it out of the park! I had a very large pine tree that needed a significant trim, and I had a tricky request: I needed them to strategically preserve some low-line branches to keep my privacy screen intact. Jose and his crew listened and executed the job exactly as I asked. I received six quotes for this work, and their price was easily the best value. Jose was the primary trimmer, and he was the definition of professional and courteous. He arrived even earlier than scheduled and, with two helpful associates, they were finished with the huge job in just two short hours. Seriously, the efficiency was unbelievable! And the cleanup? Immaculate! They hauled everything away and left my home so clean and organized--it was like they hadn't even been there. I am fully satisfied and could not recommend them more highly to anyone needing tree work. I am absolutely going to be a repeat customer! Thank you, Jose!

I can't say enough good things about this company! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, efficient, and incredibly hardworking. They showed up right on time, got straight to work, and handled everything with care and precision. They worked together seamlessly, and it was clear they take pride in what they do. Their attention to detail really stood out. They didn't just remove the trees safely and skillfully, but also left the entire area spotless when they were done. No mess, no debris, just clean, quality work. We also noticed they took our trash bins out for our scheduled trash day (we forgot) and placed them back at the end of the day. These details matter and didn't go unnoticed, so thank you! Jose and his crew are friendly, responsive, and genuinely focused on making sure everything is done right. If you're looking for a company that delivers exceptional results, treats your property with respect, and goes above and beyond, look no further. I'd highly recommend them to anyone needing tree removal or landscaping work done. Before and after provided. **the chicken wire and wood pile in one of the pictures is something we left there, not them :) **

After trimming

I recommend Active, they have competitive pricing and very responsive. I sent pictures of my palm tree that needed trimming and received a quote instantly. I chose them because of all their other reviews. They came early and they trimmed my palm tree and cleaned up all the debri. Thank you Jose and team I will call back again when I need a trim!

Jose did a wonderful job with communication and getting the tree cut. We had a big tree in the backyard that needed to be removed. I got quotes from multiple different people. Jose had the best pricing, and quite honestly, he was the best in communication and getting everything done. It was a 3 day process. He also does landscaping and concrete. We will be hiring him for concrete in our yard since it is needed. I highly recommend Jose and team if you want an efficient team to remove trees and work on your yard.

Jose and his helper were on time, prompt and very efficient. They took care of the trim and cleanup in less than an hour. Worth every penny!!!

Great service and great price, will definitely have Active Landscape back again! Thank you!

José's crew did an excellent job trimming bushes, pruning trees, eliminating weeds and cleaning up the front and backyards. They were very efficient, getting in and out of the project within three hours. All done with at a very fair price. I will use them again. I highly recommend their services.

DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.

Their pricing was very competitive, which was a huge plus, but what really stood out to us was how easy they were to work with. Communication was always easy, and they were quick to answer questions and help us work through decisions. There are SO many decisions that go into a backyard project, and we really appreciated having their input and direction when we weren't sure what would look or work best. They were also incredibly flexible. We made changes along the way (because of course we did!), and they were always willing to work with us and figure things out without making it a big deal. The crew was fantastic and worked incredibly hard. Everyone from Mario, Client Relations Manager, working with us on the design and bid to Carlos, Project Manager, to the entire crew were respectful, friendly, and clearly took pride in their work. A project this big can definitely be stressful, but Primescapes made it so much easier than we expected. We love our backyard and are so happy we chose them!

It wasn't a complex job, but the the site was a giant mess, with a lot of overgrowth and debris. Michael's bid was well within my budget, and he was able to schedule the job for a time that was convenient for me. He also offered clear explanations about why the work would best be done a certain way. When it came to the work itself, his crew was outstanding. They arrived on time, kept on schedule, and cleaned up the site at the end of every work day. I have never seen such an organized, well managed job site. They were truly exemplary in all respects, but especially in regards to the quality of their work. When it comes time to replace my fence, my patio cover, or my driveway, I will definitely call Michael.

In fact, his proposal included everything needed to properly prepare and establish a healthy lawn, while other estimates we received were significantly more expensive and included less. Michael recommended St. Augustine grass because we have a large dog, and within a week, his team was ready to start the project. He explained the entire process ahead of time and gave me detailed guidance about the watering schedule, mowing schedule, and recommended equipment for maintaining the new lawn. The crew was amazing--efficient, professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. Carlos, the crew lead, was especially impressive. He is calm, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. He listened carefully to every concern I had and made sure everything was addressed properly. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and they even installed a fence that we provided to protect the new lawn from foot traffic and our dog while it gets established. The finished lawn looks absolutely beautiful. The new sprinkler system is quiet, efficient, and works perfectly. They used new, quality materials and clearly did not cut corners anywhere in the project. After comparing several companies and estimates, I am very happy that we chose Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance. We received a better, more complete project at a very competitive price. Michael, Carlos, and the entire crew exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!
