Our experience with this company was extremely disappointing…read more The crew initially came out and removed two palm trees, but told us they would need to return to complete the stump grinding. The day they were supposed to come back, no one showed up. For an entire week, I called and texted multiple times asking when they would return, but received no response. Ironically, the only time I finally heard back was after I sent a message saying I would be leaving a Yelp review. Suddenly, the owner sent someone out that same day to finish the stump grinding. When the work was completed, my husband asked the worker what payment was due. He didn't give us an answer. Prior to that, the owner had mentioned giving us some type of discount because of the inconvenience, but he never confirmed the final amount owed or when payment was expected. Nothing was put in writing. The following week, the original worker unexpectedly showed up with another employee, saying they were there to finish the job. I explained that the work had already been completed by someone else the owner had sent. At that point, they told us we still owed money. My question is: Why wasn't the final balance communicated when the work was completed? Why wasn't anything provided in writing? We specifically asked about payment and were given no information. Instead of communicating clearly, they came back later expecting payment without ever having discussed the final amount or due date. The lack of communication, missed appointments, and overall disorganization made this a frustrating experience. I would not recommend this company based on how our job was handled

One trimmer arrived today, March 19,2026. Did not knock, entered backyard without notice and my dog…read morewould have attacked if she was not in an inner dog yard, and left without notice. The palm fronds were left at base of the tree, and on my neighbors fence, and my outdoor lights were broken and ripped off the house. If I had not walked the work area and found the torn down lights, the ripped electric wire would have been live when the autotimer turned on in the evening. The hot wire could have electriculted my family or my dogs. The $100 comp to buy the $60 string of lights is not enough for me to remove and rehang the lights from second story and across the yard back to the palm tree in 100 degree weather, requiring me to carry a ladder to second story and out into the garden and at the palm tree. The supervisor offered to not charge service in compensation for the destroyed yard lights. He requested I remove this review and I refuse.

I am so happy today after Melendez Tree Service completed their work, trimming and skinning my palm…read moretrees. Before laying down all new mulch, I wanted to clean up the trees. When Luis Melendez arrived, he did so with a huge chipper machine and a huge box truck to haul away other refuse. In addition he arrived himself and three other men. I assumed there would be only two but three was a great idea. The men proceeded to the backyard where they received their directive from the boss, Luis and began without question. Owner Luis Melendez personally trained this and his other teams out on the jobs in the field. Mr. Luis Melendez had everything and everyone under control and on schedule. He watched to make sure all men were proceeding safely and they already knew not to step on my ground plants. He also inspected every phase of them trimming three different type of palms and added any spontaneous comments to his men while working. Whereas I thought the skinning process was done by machine, it was actually done one by one and layer after layer on the trunks of the trees. His men were careful and diligent in their mission. What a site to watch them using a chain saw, a hand saw and utility knives to create an artistic pattern of the rings of the tree as it had grown. All is so well done and a pleasure to view. Luis M. also told me the exact names of each different palm and that different types of cutting are often required. Before dropping palm leaves which are quite long and heavy, they had spread a tarp on my patio to protect it. They picked up all the palm leaves, the many skins, raked the grounds and swept the refuse. The patio was left clean. I did not have to do anything.The Team was finished with all the trees and trunks in one hour.You would not know any work had taken place except for the beautifully clean and elegant palms which will contribute to the a lovely look for my backyard. This is the type of contractor with whom I prefer to deal. Mr. Melendez; from the beginning, was courteous and professional.I would recommend him highly and surely call on him again for more service. He is completely trustworthy & skilled. 8/20/26

This year was no different! I had an appointment that I had to leave for so I gave him the payment in advance. Based on my prior experience with him, I knew I would get an excellent job. When I returned later, my front yard was absolutely beautiful... Ready for a home and garden photo shoot, lol! I highly recommend James and his crew...

The timing was perfect, I spoke to James son and requested a quote to top and cut back the bamboo. James checked it out and established what needed to be done, he gave me what was a very fair quote. I agreed and he said they would be over after finishing a brush clear out nearby, fire department is on top of that, as they are expecting another bad fire season. They have excellent equipment and appear ready for any work regarding trees. I believe they are family and everyone was very friendly. Nice attitudes all around and pretty fast! They did a great clean up job and used a wood chipper and hauled it away. It's always good to encounter good business people, a real pleasure.
