They're named "Best Tree Service" for a reason. Andy is prompt and reliable. From the estimate, to confirmation, to showing up on time and finishing the job in a timely manner, Andy was excellent. He followed through on his word. He said he would make it look "nice" and he did! I had a huge overgrown lychee tree with its branches hanging over everything and it's leaves touching the ground. Andy lifted the tree and now it looks inviting enough to actually sit under. He also broke down a hot house falling apart and relocated the plants. Thank you Andy and company. I did think his price was high, but his service was worth it. "You get what you pay for" read more

Andy and his crew were awsome. They were also very friendly and courteous. I had some palms that were very close to my house and my next door neighbor house. Andy was very informative and skilled that when they cut the pal.s they didn't hit either of the houses. Once they were done they cleaned up very well. I would HIGHLY recommend them for your tree trimming services as well as other landscaping needs. Thank you Very Much Andy! read more

Thank you, Yelp, for coming to the rescue again! In the past, when my computer & refrigerator broke down, & screen windows needed rescreening, & I didn't know who to call, Yelp came into the picture. Based on the many good reviews, I was able to find reputable businesses to efficiently repair them at reasonable costs. Now, there's this 30-ft tall tree that has been growing at my mother-in-law's house, w/ the crawling roots growing 20 feet into the neighbor's yard w/ potential damage to their retaining wall. Yes, I needed a tree remover but didn't know anyone. Who do I call? Checked on Yelp, & w/ some 58 reviews & 4 1/2 stars, A.L. Best Tree Service stands out. Yes, he did the job, & I couldn't be happier! My hubby & sister-in-law wanted a licensed/insured tree removal service to remove the tree. Based on referrals from friends, they logged onto the State Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs website to check whether these referrals were licensed and insured. Those that were legitimate were called, & some of them went to the home & provided estimates; whereas, some didn't even return calls after leaving messages. When my hubby asked me if I knew of any tree removal services, I quickly told him to check Yelp. Yes, Yelp had a number of them listed, & one in specifically, A.L. Best Tree Services had some 58 reviews with a 4 1/2 star rating. We checked if it was licensed & insured, & it was. My sister-in-law called A.L. Best Tree Services to get an estimate. Its owner, Andy Liaina, came to the house two days later. He was very friendly & was knowledgeable, as he explained that it was an African tulip tree (which we didn't know what it was) & what he would be doing to remove the tree. He said it was a "soft" tree, so its removal could be done quickly. His price was very reasonable, much less than estimates given by other competitors for this job. You got the job, Andy! An appointment was made two days later for Andy & his crew to cut down the tree. Initially, he was a couple of hours late, as he explained that they had a big job earlier, & w/ the sun, heat, & humidity, it took longer due to the need for his workers to rest & be hydrated. Okay, I thought, as I hoped that there would not be any further disappointment. Andy & his crew of four people, dressed in fluorescent orange & green safety long sleeved shirts, came w/ their tree branch/stump shredder & grinder equipment. One of his workers quickly climbed the tree & whacked off branches, then hauled them & fed them through the shredder/grinder, which became pieces of wood chips that were automatically shoved into their covered truck. The other workers did the same to the remaining branches, the tree stump, & its roots, as they grinded these into small pieces. They cleaned up the area so that it was spotless. The whole process took no longer than 15 to 20 minutes! It was hard to believe that the tree & the roots in the neighbor's yard were entirely gone. Our neighbor thanked us & was very satisfied that the roots were gone; now, he could plant his own things in the spot where he previously couldn't due to the huge roots crawling across his yard. We were also highly satisfied w/ the removal of the tree. Despite the delay in getting to our home, the excellent service provided outweighed the delay glitch. I could not believe how quickly the whole process took! Andy & his workers were hard-working, fast, & efficient, as they knew exactly what needed to be done. Andy & his workers were very friendly, as we had some "talk story" moments. His price was so reasonable! When I asked Andy how he was able to do the job at a cost much lower than his competitors, his reply was, "It's better to have (jobs) than not have." Makes sense, doesn't it? I also found Andy to be humble, honest, & trustworthy. In my small talk with him, I learned that he's an active Christian church member in Waipahu, along w/ his entire family. With myself being a Christian, I can attest to his reputable credentials of his workmanship & business. Andy has 16+ years of working for landscaping companies & has had his own company, A.L. Tree Services for the past five years. They have a lot of experience in removing large trees, such as tall coconut palms & Norfolk pine trees. They also do tree & hedge trimming, as well as yard services, e.g., cutting/planting grass, dirt removal, tree planting, etc. They provide services for residential & commercial accounts. Free estimates are given, & references are provided on request. Just a side note as to the business name: initially, I thought it was "Al" (as a first name); but that was incorrect. The Yelp business name is "AL," but that is incorrect also. The proper name is "A.L.," as reflective of the initials of the owner's name, Andy Liana. Yes, now I can add A.L. Best Tree Services to my list of service people (like my computer, refrigerator, & window rescreening repairmen) that I obtained via Yelp. Thank you, Yelp, for being there! read more

The paperbark trees in my front yard were overgrown and blocking the sunlight. I turned to Yelp for a recommendation and found AL Best Tree Trimming Service. The owner Andy answered the phone, visited my house, and gave me a quote for the job. He arrived early at the appointed time and 5 hours later, my forest of trees were trimmed and now the sunshine fills my front yard and home. I love that his employees are skilled and efficient. They clean the debris when they're done and they cheerfully accomplish their tasks. One thing you need to know is that they will do what you ask. They are tree trimmers, not landscape designers. So know what you want done beforehand because they will do what you ask. read more

Above and beyond service with Aloha!!! I found Andy (A.L. Best Tree Services) on Yelp and contacted him and a few other companies for pruning of my very large, very old Lychee tree. Andy was the first to respond and remained consistently in contact via text and phone calls (others said they would call or come and flaked out). Andy came as planned to give me my free estimate, he was personable, funny and honest. Here is where it gets good....I started getting second thoughts and doubts after reading some of the negative comments and especially because I wouldn't be home on the day we scheduled (the very next day). I tried to cancel and reschedule for another day when I would be there, but got the reassuring response from Andy "no worry sis, I going take care for you". That was all I needed and I am so glad I trusted him. Long story short, my family kept sending me progress pics as I was at work; however, nothing compared to coming home in amazement and happiness at the end results!!!! The yard was clean, he took out an extra nuisance tree that was growing out of control, all my Lychee fruit was saved (thanks to my neighbor & mother in laws help) and my tree was beautifully pruned....almost bonsai looking!!! Take a look at the before and after pictures. Andy is a good braddah with a solid crew! Now I won't ever have to worry about who going "take care" my tree again! Mahalo Nui Loa Andy - A.L. Best Tree Services! read more

Scheduled an appointment for my 81 year old uncle and Andy was very responsive and took great care in taking care of him. He also gained another job at the same time for my uncles next door neighbor. They were also very satisfied and happy with the job they did. They removed a large mango tree as well as trimmed a bunch of other trees. For my uncles home, they removed a large guave tree, lychee tree, and trimmed about 3 mango trees around the home. Wish I took before and after pictures but missed my opportunity. In any case, price was very reasonable and a job well done. SHOUT OUT TO ANDY AND HIS CREW.... read more

I didn't want to write a bad review, but if I had known before I called them what I know now, it would have been helpful. So I hope this van help someone else make an educated decision. They are not professional. It was very difficult to get them to commit to a time and honor it. He gave me a quote via text exchanges. I sent him photos and a detailed explanation of what I wanted done. The quote came in high, but I was desperate at this point to get the job done, so I just agreed. He changed the first appointment. Moved it back by a week. When they day finally came, I texted him early in the morning to remind him of our 1:00 pm appointment. I rushed hom at 1:00 to meet him, and waited until 2:30 to text him. He responded, "on my way". An hour later, (!), he called and asked what time i had to leave. Then he was honest and said he was still on a job and needed another hour. Again, being desperate, I agreed, and made rearranged my schedule for the rest of the day to accommodate him. When they finally showed up, they did a very sloppy job. Tried to cover it up, but burying it in mulch. Then he tried to leave. I pointed out that only half the job was done. He claimed to not know I wanted the whole thing done. (Language barrier?) I showed him the text, and he also checked on his phone and clearly saw that I was correct. He acted inconvenienced, and said, "But it's already 5:00!" He came late! So that's not my problem. Then he had the nerve to lean in and whisper to me, "You can give us more money?" Long story short, I did, to get the job done, and get them off my property. Not only was I completely ripped off by these guys, but they broke my gate, which I now need to pay to replace. Not trust-worthy, not reliable, lazy -- I wouldn't hire them again. read more

The owner, Andy, came over to our property fairly quickly and gave us a good quote. Andy and his team did a great job in cutting down very tall palm trees in our yard. They got the job done within 2 hours. We would use their services again. read more

Although I didn't use their services, they were very responsive and answered my call immediately. The owner went to the property and looked at the tree stump to be removed and gave me an estimate. The quote he gave was fair. He explained that the root would have to be grinder. He was willing to do the job same week. In the end, the original tree service company who did the yard clean up offered to go back to the property and cut the stump down to the ground without additional charge to me. I accepted his offer to take care of it. Would recommend AL Tree Service for anyone needing a responsive reliable tree service. read more

There's obviously a reason for the many positive reviews for "AL Best Tree Services". The owner Andy and his team did an awesome job removing 7 trees and stumps from my property in MililanI. Andy is a no nonsense type of guy, does what he says he's going to do and does it when he says he's going to do it, simple, straightforward, done. For those of you looking for great tree removal service, Andy is your man, give him a call, you'll be happy you did Thanks Andy for all your help and please give your workers my sincere Aloha as well, great, great bunch of guys EK Mililani read more

We were very happy with the service. They arrived on time and did a great job. Top notch service. I would definitely call them again. Thank you read more

I hired them again to cut my mango tree and grind the root system! They actually arrived early this time and finish the job pretty quick. The quote I got from them is the lowest. read more

I called Andy on a Tuesday to get an estimate after reading all the reviews on Yelp. Moving into a new home is exciting but, also very costly. You have to take on whatever condition the home is in and the land that it is on. Our home is very nice though it was covered by... a hot mess. We needed something done at a reasonable price. Andy came the evening I asked to get a quote. He checked out the area... front of the porch, my hibiscus hedges, and a tree removal in the back. As I'm sitting out front listening to him go over everything with my husband, I was extremely scared as all I was thinking how it was adding up. When he gave my husband the quote I was like "yeah! Let's do it!" Lol. Andy explained the cost and how the extra was to rent the stump grinder. Understandable. Andy said he was available to do it the next day. We told him our daughter was going to have surgery and we weren't going to be home. He suggested that it would be the perfect time since it would be loud and make it uncomfortable if my baby were home after surgery. That was nice of him. We asked how we would be able to pay as we wouldnt be home and he said not to worry as he also lives in Ewa and we could make arrangements after. After my daughters surgery, we came home and caught them right before they left. Andy had to leave to do another estimate so, we left one of the men with the money and texted Andy to let him know we did. Might I just say that they worked their butt off. Our house feels more welcoming! We paid them to remove our trees and shrubs. That's it. We didn't care for perfection or whatever anyone else could complain about. The job is done. That was all I could ask for. Right after it was done, we told our friends about Andy and to contact him for the trees they wanted removed. It's totally worth it (though it's not courageously priced) to hire Andy and his team to get any unwanted trees or shrubs out. You'll be happy you chose them as we did. Especially when you hear your quote. Competition can't beat this because they're just happy that you chose them and will give them work! read more

Al did a great job cutting many trees in old town area of Manoa. I recommend his services and have hired him more than once.

I would recommend them. They are very professional and were great at removing my large lychee tree. The tree was near the house and fence and they did not damage either. They cleaned up all the rubbish. The job was completed quickly and according to the work as I requested and was agreed to. The price was very reasonable. read more

Hired Andy numerous times to trim my coconut palm. Price goes up each time and unreliable - never show up the day they say they will. This time I have waited over a week with his promise to show up today. No show again. I'm looking elsewhere read more

These guys are tree hackers. Their pruning skills are mediocre. Their price is good, but you get what you pay for. The boss comes out, gives you a price (cash), and doesn't supervise the job. Asked me for half in the beginning because he needs the money to buy something(?). His workers used cinder blocks on my property (without asking) to block the wheels on their truck, broke it before they left. Another worker asked to use my pruning stick (they don't have tools?). I asked to trim back one tree (reduce the height) and thin out another (remove dead branches). They did the opposite. The boss says why didn't I watch and tell them. I told him that's what he's for. I would never use them again! read more

When I moved into my new house, it came with a 25 foot coconut tree that was in desperate need of trimming. I also did some yard work myself and was left with large piles of brush that needed hauling away. I chose AL Best Tree Services based on the really positive Yelp reviews. I called to schedule an appointment. When the time came, they were about an hour late, then I called them to make sure they were coming. They had forgot about it and would be able to come the next day. The next day, they were about 30 minutes late, then I called. They arrived about 30 minutes later. When the job was completed (they did do a good job), I was going to pay by check. But they refused, requesting it to be in cash. I told them I don't carry cash on hand and would have to go to the ATM. But they still requested cash. I'm not one to write reviews, but knowing this beforehand would have really helped me choose. I would like to help others make an informed decision. read more

I called Andy for an estimate and although we had a snag on Thursday, he showed up exactly on time on Friday the 15th (Sept). Walked around my mom's back yard and gave me 2 options. I could let it go and save the money (he was honest because it was a huge job) or he could do the job on Monday. I decided it needed to be done. Back yard slopes down a hill and the trees had grown 25 - 30 feet in the last 9 years. And side yard was complete mess. Andy showed up early on Monday with his crew and the "chipper". He cleared the entire back and side yards. I had not seen the back and side yard like that in over 10 years. His guys came in at 9 am and they were out in 3 hours. GREAT job. I will use him for maintenance now that he's already done the hard work. Andy epitomizes Fa'a Samoa. read more

Referred by my husband's cousin. My major worry was our Christmas tree planted very close to our garage & next to our neighbor's fence planted 16 years ago. Hurricane season is here & the top portion was already starting to bend with the wind. We called the owner, Andy, this morning for inquiry on their services. We texted him a picture of our tree. Andy called back, cost was discussed, & he said he could do it today! Wow! I had another company with a scheduled date 2 weeks out to come & their estimate was way, way more! I'm so glad I didn't put the required down payment. We are so happy & satisfied we got this referral! Andy honored his word about coming today, even was a little earlier, & also estimated that they'd be done in 2 hours! His crew got to work after looking at the tree situation. They started before I got home. I really wanted to see the work from the very start. But, fortunately got to see their work in progress as I pulled up. They were fast, cleaned up very well in our area as well as our neighbor's, Andy & his crew were very nice & sociable, & especially their services were VERY affordable! Thank you to Andy & your workers for coming on short notice! It was great to see your work & will surely keep your company in my contacts for future & for any referrals. read more

I called Andy because of a tree problem on my property. I have several 150 foot albizias and I appreciate Andy's honesty as he informed me early that it was a job that he could not do. He also gave me the names of some of his competitors. As a business man, this is big. Rather than lie about what he can do and string me along, he was honest and helped make a recommendation. I will remember this and I will be calling them in the future. Mahalo Andy read more

If you are looking for someone dependable, fair, willing to go the extra mile and above all else someone honest Al is your man. I've got a decent sized yard and needed my mango tree, perimeter palms and some h-Kona trees from my neighbor's side cut back. He asked what I wanted, told me "no problem" and worked the day unsupervised by me. His pricing was fair and these guys are super neat. My yard was cleaner after they finished than before they began. In general I do not leave many reviews but, I cannot say enough good things about Al and his crew. I would hire them again in a heartbeat! read more

Set up appointment with Andy a few days before. He said 1pm on the day worked for him. He asked me to send a text with address on it. I sent the text confirming single coconut tree, height of tree, etc. On the day of I was home waiting from 12:30 just in case they were early. 1:30pm I called, Andy answered and I said who I was and the neighborhood, asked if they were almost there. He replied, "Oh, I will send the guys, they will be there within 2 hours." 3:30pm I sent a text asking if they were close, no reply. 430pm I called again, Andy answered and said he would call to check where his guys were, and that he would call right back. He never called back. Never apologized for the inconvenience. Wasted half a day waiting for service that never showed after it was agreed upon. read more

I highly recommend A.L. Best Tree Services if you need a tree cut removed from your property. I had about 10 cypress trees and 3 Bottlebrush trees and a HUGE Norfolk Pine (at least 100 ft tall) removed, and Andy and his crew were fast, efficient, and a pleasure to work with! It's not that we don't like trees, but our house was literally surrounded, and we couldn't see outside our windows!!! It felt like we were living in a forest! Now we can enjoy the beautiful view, and the neighbors are happy 'cuz their view is no longer blocked too!!! I had 3 different estimates, and Andy's was the best by far. His crew was very quick and efficient! read more

Called AL Best Tree Service to take out my huge avocado tree..fast, courteous and reasonable!

Andy and his crew of three done a wonderful job in a small space! Exactly as we discussed. He even hauled away the 4 contractor bags filled with clippings my senior mom and I chopped down by hand. They were quick, reliable, and hard working. In the end, I want someone who is trustworthy and I felt Andy and his team were. I believe his pricing was fair, and I hope that A.L. Best Tree Services will continue to provide the same level of service as he did for my client's property in Kapolei. Claire Hellam, RA, CRS, ABR Island Realty Group, LLC read more

Andy and his crew did an excellent job! He is VERY reasonable on his prices. We had him remove a Money tree and cut and clear out Hau trees that had invaded our canal for rain runoff. He even told me he knew someone to get a bid on the repair when we are ready to do so. Quick, Reasonable, Honest. read more

Andy and his crew did an excellent job removing a huge mango tree in our front yard and trimming another in our back yard.

Al Best Tree Services is fantastic! I needed to remove my 21 years old tall pine tree in front of my rental house in Kalama Valley, Hawaii Kai. I called and spoke with ANDY, the Owner. Andy came out, accessed the situation and gave me a reasonable fair price for the work. I will omit the price from this review in respect for Andy. Not only did Andy and his professional crew removed the tall pine, but I also asked him to remove shrubs, papaya tree, and lime tree for the same original agreed price. This man is generous, friendly, understanding and professional from start to end. I wished that all contractors were as "Aloha/Ohana" as Mr. ANDY. I really feel that my money was well spent! Two thumbs up for Mr. ANDY and his men! I highly recommend Al Best Tree Services. I have already added them into my contact/address book. Much Mahalo Mr. ANDY for a job well done, Sir! read more

We had to cut down 3 huge mango trees in our back yard. We got 3 bids, and AL was the most reasonable. Andy did say they would take 2 days to complete the work. It turned out to be 4 days. However, they did a good job and did not ask for extra money for the extra days. They worked hard in 90 degree heat. I felt sorry for them. They did a good job cleaning up and hauling away all the leaves and branches. read more

All I can say is Amazing! I had scheduled a Sunday appointment to remove of a large, ratty, 60+ foot palm tree from my tiny yard. Saturday morning Andy, the owner called to see if we could do it Saturday instead, which I immediately agreed to. The crew of 4 showed up, worked efficiently, safely, and quietly. The tree was about 4' from my house on one side, 4' from my neighbor's fence, and about 15 ' feet from the concrete neighborhood wall. Anything could go wrong with the small amount of space and obstacles to deal with. I was definitely a nervous Nelly walking around, thinking the worst! My worst fears were a tree through my roof, a stump through the bedroom, a 9' palm frond through the bedroom window, or someone's fence being crushed. None of which happened! The giant eye sore was completely removed from my yard, without any incident in about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. They all worked so proficiently. Everyone had a job and did it well, in my opinion, to perfection. When they were finished they cleaned up my yard and didn't leave a trace. I would recommend these guys to anyone... big job or small. Thank you Andy and crew for a job well done. read more

We had travelers palm trees on our property that were starting to become a nuisance to the neighbors, so we had to cut them down. My mom (Carol) and I found AL Best Tree Services through Yelp. Andy and his crew did a great job cutting down 12-15 huge palm trees at family's property. The price was also reasonable for the amount of work they had to do. It took a full day to cut down, clean up, and dispose of the debris. My family is pleased with the job and have already contacted Andy again for a 2nd job. We recommend calling AL's for any future tree-cutting services. read more
