Before tree removal (tall tree in background).
Jo Y.

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!

Trees were 50' tall.

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.

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!

Amazing tree removal experience…read more We had to take out a couple of Italian Cyprus trees which were close to affecting the power-lines. One tree was dead, the others were showing signs of age and a large root was growing towards the house. That, coupled with overgrown grass/weeds from recent rains was creating a nightmare scenario. Afraid the trees might topple onto our house we decided the time had come to remove the trees and give the yard a haircut. Out of a couple of estimates we received, Espitia's Tree Service answered my quote request in a timely manner, was able to promptly come by to make an assessment and proposal. The yard service was included as well as stump/removal. Alejandro explained the process, the options and time table. He kept us in the loop and I was quickly informed when timing had shifted a bit because a prior project was taking longer than expected. Work was done in a timely manner, the fear of trees toppling over no longer an issue. They removed the stumps and a large root that was growing in the direction of the house. Again to reiterate, Communication was great, proposal was clear, the cost reasonable, and the work was done in a timely manner. If tree removal or pruning is in your future, Espitia's Tree Service should be contacted for a proposal.

They trimmed several feet off the top of my tangerine tree so I can reach the fruit easier now. They did not massacre my tangerine tree like a previous tree trimmer did years ago and it is already putting out new happy leaves and looks healthy. They also hauled away all the leaves and branches and gave me the marungay leaves as I requested so I could give them to friends and neighbors and their price was reasonable, they came on time and finished in the estimated time they gave me. What stood out to me about them is they care about the health of your tree.

Gave me the estimate and waited a couple days for others to respond. Another did but didn't repond to a second attempt. So whatever. Gave Jeff the green light to do the job. Him and his boys came and did a great job from making sure it was installed correctly. After install I walked and checked their work. I had some concerns but he assured he was coming back next day to finish up and fix. Which he did. His quality of work is very good. They respected our home and surrounding area. Cleaned up after too. Sure I would rehire him again. In fact we did. He's coming back. Mahalo Jeff

My Wife and I wanted to completely redo our front and backyard but we weren't completely sure what…read morewe exactly wanted to do. We asked Jeff from JBL to come and give us a quote. He was able to brainstorm with us to help us imagine a completely new yard. He gave us ideas that we would either agree or disagree with. Once we had a general idea, Jeff was able to create a digital rendering of both our front and backyard so we were actually able to see his vision and know what we could expect the finished product to look like. For the early stages of the project Angel was the primary foreman of the job. Angel was very friendly and respectful. He would give us updates on what they would be doing for the next couple of days, or if they wouldn't be coming due to weather conditions. As a client this was great because we never had to wonder whether the contractors were coming or not. Our Project consisted of removing existing cement pavers and vegetation. And installation of new turf, irrigation system, and vinyl fence. JBL took care of hauling away all the old materials and bringing all the new materials/plants for our project. Jeff was more than fair to us and he worked with us to make sure we were satisfied with how it turned out. Our home looks completely transformed now, and our dogs finally have a yard that they can play in. If you need trustworthy, reliable, and friendly landscapers I highly recommend giving Jeff a call.

It took them 2 days to demolish the 6+inch thick of concrete and haul it away. They did an awesome job and I felt bad because I had no clue how thick the concrete was. After the removal they prepared the dirt and installed irrigation sprinklers to our existing sprinkler system. They also upgraded our ancient sprinkler box to digital which is so much easier to program. They installed El Yoro Zoysia in 1 day and all I can say, it changed the whole view of my front area. If you're looking for someone to landscape, care and maintain, I'd recommend Dan and his crew. We just wanted the removal of the concrete, add sprinklers and grass and we were going to do the other areas. Dan had some great ideas and suggestions for us to explore!
