I noticed a sprinkler with major leak and called Bottoms Up, and spoke with Gwyny. She said she would arrive within a half hour. She arrived in 20 minutes, and fixed our problem. She had parts on hand, and know-how. And she was a delight, honest, trustworthy. Emailed her bill after work completed. Old-fashioned work ethic. Thanks Gwyny. read more

They are on time. They did a GREAT professional job in the time quoted. Theyare friendly and courteous.

It's taken me a while to get to this review, but I wanted to make sure to do it before I forgot: I had never hired a tree-trimmer before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were so happy with Gwyny & her team that it couldn't have gone much better. They were very professional, courteous, good-natured, and tidy, and the price seemed fair for the amount of work they did. We don't have much of a green space, but I have no doubt that they would be my first call if we ever needed service again. Thank you! read more

Oak trimming season is almost upon us - don't wait to get Gwyny and her crew over to give yours a good prune! Best arborists in town.

I've used Bottoms Up a number of times and they are fantastic. Very reliable and they know planting for Southern California weather.

It was by coincidence that my neighbor ran into her and got a quote to trim back an oak tree. AMAZING... I'm so glad she was there....so I felt it was meant for them to trim the tree. This tree was so messy and large and dropped so many acorns that the street was embedded in dark spots and dead leaves that you wouldn't even know there was a street.. I never actually met her but talked with her on the phone and I knew she would do an excellent job. The price was reasonable and the timing was perfect. They showed up and They did a wonderful clean-up job afterwards. I would use them again. read more

Bottoms Up Gardens + Tree Care - Oak tree - Tree Services Near Me

we're massive fans of Gwyny and team. It started with her masterful work of our giant Chinese Elm tree. With that confidence, we gave her a much larger task--basically giving our front and back yard a major refresh. Her bid was 1/2 of what we got for the work from other providers because she's savvy enough to reuse existing plants whenever possible (the other bidder wanted to gut the entire yard and bring in all new materials). I also appreciate that she's got the expertise and experience to give feedback when we are suggesting certain plants that do not make sense. She exceeded our expectations and we will continue to use her services going forward! read more

I am way overdue in writing this review. Bottoms Up Gardens, and owner Gwyny Pett, are incredibly responsive and reliable. Appointments are kept, estimates are written and thorough, and the work performed is fantastic. I've used them across several properties for a variety of tree trimming, from the largest deodars down to our citrus trees and hedges. Her crew are artists at what they do. Really the best tree work that I have ever come across. And they are all incredibly cordial. I haven't used any of their landscaping or cleanup services yet, but that's probably overdue. I couldn't recommend any higher. read more

We hired Bottoms Up Gardens to clean our garden, which we had not maintained in a decade. It was pretty much a wasteland and all the grass and most the trees had to be removed or significantly pruned. We discussed a plan with Gwyny who provided a quote and time estimate to complete the work. Gwyny visited every day to check that the work progressed according to plan. The work was completed on time and the cost ended up lower than the quote. The team members were very professional and quiet. The result is absolutely amazing. We will work again with Bottoms Up Gardens! read more

Whoops sorry about that, done . Use this company without any worries . I chose them because they did some tree trimming across the street from me and they know what they're doing and follow all safety rules, work very quickly and efficiently too . -Nate read more

I LOVE Gwyneth. She is extremely knowledgeable and her team worked fast yet diligently. Price is very reasonable.

We used this company several times in the past, but will definitely not be using them again. Most recently we paid $8,900 for two and a half days of work. But after the crew left and after we had already paid we discovered that one of the items in the bid had not been completed. We were charged $365 to remove a stump which was not removed. We went back and forth via email with Gwyny asking her to either come back and remove the stump or to simply refund us the $365 for that line item. While she agreed that this item was indeed in the bid and that it was indeed not done, she refused to do anything about it, and tied herself in knots explaining that we had already received various other discounts, that they had already completed a certain number of man-hours, etc. We have no idea how she does her man-hour calculations, and there was nothing about man-hours in the bid anyways. We did receive other, unrelated discounts (though we feel the $8,900 we paid was still quite expensive for the work done) but these had nothing to do with the stump removal or lack thereof. Above all, we remain baffled how a specific line item in the written bid that she created and provided to us - remove stump, $365 - was simply ignored and that she expects we should somehow be ok with this? We're not making up things after the fact, or asking for extra work beyond the scope of the bid. We are simply pointing to her written bid and saying: if there is a specific line item that says - "remove roots and stump - $365" - isn't it reasonable for us to expect that work to be done? Or, if for some reason you no longer want to do that part of the job, fine, but then maybe you should return the $365 that you charged us for it (which is all of 4% of the $8,900 that we paid)? Instead Gwyny admits no fault whatsoever, and is now accusing us of "extortion". At this point we know that we will likely never see Gwyny nor our $365 again, and that we will have to go through the hassle and expense of hiring a second company to come out and remove the stump (ugh). We've been left with a very bad feeling towards Gwyny and her company and feel compelled to share our story. read more

Simply put, Bottom's Up Gardening makes your home or business look better. We have used this company for about 10 years. Services have included large scale hillside weed abatement, tree trimming, wind damage repairs, landscape design and installation. Gwynny's crews show up on time and work nonstop till the job is done. They were able to easily incorporate our design changes and meet all city and fire department regulations. I highly recommend this company and plan on using them again in the future. They are excellent at problem solving and complex garden designs. read more

Gwyny just came today with a crew of 4 guys and did such a great job trimming back my tree (Chinese Elm). Over the years I've had 3 different other companies come out, and none this as good of a job. They protected my bonsai trees, they cleaned up my yard better than how it was. Very professional. Thank you Gwyny. Any employee would be lucky to work for her. read more

I can't recommend Gywny and the crew enough! They are personable, timely, and incredibly thorough. You will not be disappointed!

Wow! I am so impressed with Gwynie and her crew! Gwynie is really knowledgeable about all the plants, their health and possible diseases, and her prices are very fair. A really big shout out to Leo, Enrique, Leo Jr. and all the guys!! They are all such hard workers, so cheerful and willing to do all the little extras that I added on. They can do it all - tree and shrub pruning, irrigation, deep cleaning of flower beds, power raking & seeding, fertilizing - everything you need. I recommend them without reservation! read more

BottomsUp had a crew at our next door neighbors and I was in need of tree trimming service Gwyny ,the owner, was on site so I asked for an estimate. Her price was in line with other estimates and she gave me a discount to have the work done as soon as my neighbor's was finished. They worked expertly and quickly. I suggest they invite the client for a completion walkthrough before leaving the premises. After they left I noticed two area that needed some additional trimming, texted Gwyny and her friendly and accommodating crew came the next day and finished the work. I didn't ding my star rating because I felt the customer service response and the work itself are 5 star. Fast, high quality, responsive and clean. read more

I called Gwynny after another tree guy couldn't seem to show up when he said he would. She sent over two guys later the same afternoon and they did a beautiful job trimming and shaping the Chinese elm in my backyard. They clearly take pride in the work that they do and know what they're doing. They cleaned up, made sure I was happy with the job, and off they went. I look forward to having them take care of the tree for many years to come. read more

Can't rave enough about Gwyny and her crew. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the process. We felt very secure in getting advice from her with our million and one questions :). Gwyny is extremely knowledgeable and was a total pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend her. read more

I contacted Gwyny at Bottoms Up to find out about lawn removal services and right from the start she was a joy to work with. She gave me advice and scheduled a visit to assess our situation. The next day I had a reasonable estimate, license/insurance paperwork and referrals in my e-mailbox! When you hire Bottoms Up you are not going to get just mow-blow-and-go services, so expect to pay a little more . . . you will soon find that it's WORTH IT! Gwyny and her crew showed up on time on our scheduled day and worked almost non-stop until our lawn was absolutely gone. They left the yard looking much better than it looked when they got there, and they did a really fantastic job removing all of the grass. Now I'm looking forward to putting in new water-wise landscaping, and I hope Gwyny and her team can fit me in their schedule every month! read more

Gwyny and her crew are a breath of fresh air! I cannot say enough about the wonderful miracle they performed on our yard. They care about the plants and truly know what they are doing around plants as well as how to work with clients. We had them remove a huge oak tree - split and stack the wood for us, remove a lawn, weed the entire yard (which was a HUGE job) and de-frawn 3 palm trees among other things. Our yard has NEVER looked so wonderful. We will have them back regularly to maintain our property. It must be mentioned that Gwyny and her crew are also "world class" nice human beings. It was such a pleasure to have them around. Their approach and style is kind, positive and uplifting. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!! read more

Gwyny and her crew have been working for us regularly now for almost a year and we have been more than satisfied with her and her crews outstanding work throughout. She will always accommodate and work with your schedule. Most recently we had her crew prune and shape our avocado tree and I have to say it looks great! They definitely know how to properly prune a tree and leave it looking naturally trim! We highly recommend her and her crew for anyone looking to get their yards looking beautiful! read more

We highly recommend Bottoms Up Gardens. They did a great job trimming a huge California Sycamore tree on our property. Then, after referring her to a Pasadena business, we heard back from them that they were very happy with the recommendation of Bottoms Up Gardens. Gwyny and her staff are excellent and very reasonable. read more

First time using Gwyny and her team was a very pleasant experience. Was very satisfied with the work performed. All around professional and prompt. Will definitely be calling for future projects! read more

This past fall Bottoms Up removed a 50 foot eucalyptus tree that was right next to my house. I have had large branches fall off of this tree onto one of my cars. Gwyny and her crew cut and removed the entire tree without destroying the azaleas planted next to the tree. Most importantly, her crew ground up the very large stump at the root of the tree. Six months later, you would not know the tree was even there. Gwyny's crew was punctual and she communicated well. I would highly recommend her for your tree removal needs. read more

I can't tell you how many times I tried to get an arborist out to our house to look at our trees. Took me months to find someone - one guy even came out and said our trees were sick and he'd give me an estimate for "vitamins" and I never heard from him again. Then my friend told us about Gwyny. She came out to the house when she said she would, gave me an estimate and stuck to it when the job was done, her crew was neat and tidy and removed all debris. My trees have never looked better - the blooms on the trees this year were big and pink! We even hired Gwyny to trim the neighbors Chinese Elm that had grown over our cable wires. I am very happy with Gwyny, Joaquin and everyone at Bottoms Up Gardens. read more

After leaving a message it took 2 days to call me back. The owner was busy so she sent an assistant who spent 2 minutes looking at the job and left saying his boss would call me with the estimate. They must not need work because they never even had the courtesy to call. Not very professional. Wouldn't trust them now. read more

We had Bottoms Up Gardens trim our palm and liquid ambar trees today. Our experience was fantastic!! Gwyny and her crew were very professional and thorough. They worked efficiently and safely and were very accommodating to our requests. The results were great!! They also cleaned up the work area spotlessly at the end of the job. We chose Gwyny after reading all of the positive reviews on Yelp and are happy to now post a recommendation of our own. Thanks Gwyny! read more

Gwynn, a very nice lady, came to assess my fig tree, which has been having issues. She mentioned that she had a treatment that she offered that might help. When she came she basically said there's not much that can be done for the tree, including her treatment. I appreciated her honesty, and that she didn't try to sell me anything. After meeting Gwyny last year, I decided to have her landscape the front of my home. We decided on a drought tolerant, succulent garden. Using the plants and rocks we selected, she and her crew designed a beautiful layout, complete with a drip watering system hidden under the crushed rock. I'm extremely happy with the results, and my friends and family were amazed. I can't say enough good things about her....friendly, professional, reasonable, punctual to name a few. Michael M., Pasadena read more

Bottoms Up Gardens is the absolute best. I have used Bottoms Up to trim and maintain my trees for several years. Gwyny and her crew do an amazing job. They always do a beautiful job shaping and thinning our trees. I have had several people compliment me on my pecan tree that is in our front yard because it is majestic and exquisitely cared for by Gwyny and her team. I have friends and family that all use Bottoms Up Gardens. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our yards and trees. read more

Gwyny and her crew were super professional and did a great job with our trees. She also had great landscaping ideas. Would not hesitate to recommend Bottoms Up. read more

Gwynny and her crew have been together for a long time. They trimmed two large trees in the backyard and did a great job. I appreciated that they were very careful about all the delicate plants that were newly planted underneath the tree. Cleanup up was thorough and quick as well. I felt I got my money's worth, as they didn't skimp on the amount of cutting they did. The crew seemed like a well oiled machine. Will definitely use again! read more

We have had Gwyny and her crew prune our trees for the last few years. They have always done a great job and we will continue using them! Great work at good prices. read more

Bottoms Up is fantastic! Gwynny offers the most friendly and efficient service that I have ever experienced from a landscaping and gardening company. They re-did the entire lawn and garden for my 8 unit HOA and it's gorgeous. Their bid was the lowest that we got but the results look like a million bucks. She recycles all the plants she pulls out and we always have new items rotating in our gardens. Her guys are all so nice and friendly and we enjoy seeing them every week. ALSO - They took over the tree trimming and the results are as wonderful as everything else that they do. The trees are healthy and full and don't look like they've been ravaged after trimming. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Three years ago, Gwyny and her Team changed our traditional yard into a Southern California drought tolerant landscape. Gwyny is versatile and creative in landscape design and selection of plants. She and her Team were consistent from start to finish as they worked hard to prepare for installation of artificial turf, installed new irrigation, and planted drought tolerant plants. They have kept our project going with periodic maintenance visits tailored to the needs of our large and small bushes. If hand trimming is needed, they provide it. For our larger trees and bushes, they prune or remove as needed. Leo is a genius tree trimmer. When he trimmed our oak tree; it was beautifully done. We've had other tree trimmers who were good, but he is outstanding. Gwyny has been excellent in providing the landscape that we asked for. She is knowledgeable, communicates well, and follows through with projects. She and the Team are punctual, work hard at what needs to be done, and clean up thoroughly afterwards. When they finish, we are happy with the results. We definitely recommend Gwyny Pett's Bottom's Up---Gardens and Maintenance. read more

Working with Bottoms Up has been awesome and nothing short. Where others give bad advice on trees and shrubbery, Gwyny has been solid with her design and care ideas so I can maintain my own garden. Her team is the best I have seen, they are casual and cool and I highly recommend you check them out for any landscape plans or tree maintenance you think you need, especially with this drought. They have been top notch! read more

Gwyny is amazing. She was patient, attentive, kind, gave great suggestions, and was prompt in her service. She's being doing what she does for years and has the most pleasant demeanor. I would not hesitate to use her for any of your outdoor landscaping or irrigation needs! read more

Gwyny and her team are probably the best landscape and garden and company in Los Angeles. I had three or four other companies try to landscape my yard and provide upkeep; however, Gwyny's crew was the only one who did exactly what I wanted, were professional and friendly, and went above and beyond every time. Gwyny is very easy to work with, and very knowledgeable about all aspects of landscaping and gardening. I had a number of trees which needed to be removed, and the crew not only removed them quickly but also repurposed the excess bark as mulch around the entire perimeter of my garden. The yard looks beautiful and the trees are no longer growing underneath my house. read more

Bottoms Up recently removed a big tree from my property. Gwyny and her crew were friendly, helpful and 100% professional. The price was fair and the work was careful and efficient. I'd recommend them highly. read more

I found Gwyny on Yelp. Her reviews were all great and, well deserved. Her and her crew came and fixed up my front yard. They were reasonable, efficient, clean, and accommodating. I am more than pleased. I see people walking and driving by stop to take a look. Thanks Gwyny. :-) read more
