Charles and his crew trimmed my trees within a week of giving me a quote. He trimmed all of the trees and high shrubs in my yard for a fair price. All of the debris was picked up and hauled away. no damage was done to the other landscaping. I gladly recommend him and plan to use him again n the future. read more

Charles got the job done and there's nothing else to say! I would rec him to anyone that needs to remove an 80 foot tree!!!

Based on recommendations on this site I made an appointment for an estimate. Charles arrived the next day and gave me a competitive bid so I booked the service. Unbelievably, he was available the following day! The crew arrived right on time and got right to work. Charles arrived not long after and helped the crew tote clippings to the chipper, but left before the crew was completely finished. Their trimming/lacing/shaping skills were excellent as was the removal of one dead tree, and the clean-up was pristine! Later that day Charles called me to inquire whether I was happy with the job and cleanup. I am impressed with the professionalism, punctuality and customer service of this company and highly recommend Charles Tree Service!! read more

I just can't say enough about Charles and his crew! They are affordable, prompt, considerate, clean, quick, and the list goes on! We have used them before and will continue to use them. We had to have our 45+ year old tree removed . She was huge! The price they gave us was phenomenal. They ground the stump and when I told them we were paving our front yard they ground an old stump that was left behind years ago from an old company we used without me even asking. My neighbor across the street asked them about his palms since they were here and they were able to go right over when they finished here and took care of him. Like I said, great company!! read more

Fast, professional, and affordable! We just moved into a house that's been tenant-occupied for at least 2 years, landscaping has been ignored/left to go wild. Palm trees in the front were growing onto the house, overhanging electrical wires/roof/neighbors, or dead. Giant birds of paradise in the backyard were leaning on/overhanging fences with the neighbors. And there was a large (15- or 20-foot) mostly-dead tree I didn't want. I talked to Charles Monday morning, he was at our house that afternoon. Took a look at everything, gave me a fantastic quote, and asked, "How about tomorrow?" His crew started showing up Tuesday around 11:45; by 2:30 pm they were done with everything, cleaned up, even went next door and blew out the neighbors' yard. Awesome, excellent service! read more

Charles Tree Service - Before (top) and after! They even found a lemon tree I didn't know was there! - Tree Services Near Me - Lemon Grove, California

I have used Charles Tree Service 3 times over the years. Charles comes and gives you a fair estimate, they show up when they say they will, and they do a good job. Also his workers are polite and clean up everything after the job is done. I've always been very pleased with their work. read more

I am more than happy with the tree trimming. The quote was fast and fair, they showed up on time, trimmed the trees beautifully and cleaned up better than my gardeners. If you are looking for good tree service...This is the place. read more

We had a great experience with Charles Tree Service. The team was efficient, on time, and completed the project within 48 hours of initial contact. Thank you Robert and team! They made the process easy and the cost was very competitive. read more

A little hard to schedule with, but they did a great job and completed it super quickly!

UPDATE: All 7 bushes and trees that were removed, sprouted back up within 2 months. I told Charles at the time that I would pay for whatever it takes to completely remove everything and ensure that there would be no regrowth. He said they would grind down the stumps and the plants wouldn't come back. I didn't feel confident that stump grinding was the permanent fix so I reconfirmed with them three different times that it was good enough to prevent new growth, and moved ahead trusting the experts. 100% regrowth. Next time I will trust my gut. read more

Just had Charles and his crew trim 12 palms for us and our neighbor. They did an amazing job. They use a bucket to protect the trees from the spike method and that's what we wanted. There were 5-6 guys working on it and they were so nice to work with and did a fantastic job. You can be assured of their professionalism and expertise. We cannot reccomend them enough. read more

They removed not only a tree, but the tree house and bougainvillea in the tree, as well as moving our camper to get to it. They were reasonable, responsive and did a great job cleaning up. read more

Charles Tree Service and the crew did an outstanding job. Removed my unsightly hedges and fan palm, trimmed my two remaining trees and grinded the stumps. Great price too and I highly recommend this company. read more

My wife found Charles Tree Service on YELP and some other reviews. She checked with the California Contractors Licensing Board and Better Business Bureau. All good references. The price quoted was a good value. Charles kept us informed as we got closer to the day scheduled. The crew did excellent work, which included removal of a pine tree including stump grinding to grade, and tastefully trimming a mature magnolia tree. The magnolia trimming was exactly how I envisioned it. The pine removal was also exactly what I was looking for. Phone contacts keeping us informed on the work schedule was most welcome and appreciated. I believe the price was favorable to us, and also hope it meets their business needs, too. read more

Charles and his crew could not be more of a dream! First of all he actually answers his own phone! A rarity these days. Once he answers he gives a quick turnaround to visit for an estimate. Then the price he gives is the best around (seriously, we interviewed 3 companies) and his crew was AMAZING! They arrived right on time, and worked like a tornado. They had the wood chipper set up pronto, they had the crane and basket in the sky over the tree. I have never seen a team work so efficiently, and MOST IMPORTANTLY Charles and his team were very careful about the aesthetics of how they were shaping and trimming our huge trees. We literally could not be happier. As they say, "fair weights and a square deals." Totally honest and delivered much more than promised. I cannot say enough good things about Charles and his team. Before and after photos attached, and them high on the crane! read more

I had a large tree cut back and some trees trimmed back from a fence line just as I had requested. Previously they removed some large Euphorbias and both times have done excellent removal & clean up. Professional teamwork and will use them again. Do not hesitate to give them a call. read more

Charles took weeks to send someone to provide a quote and still kept stringing us along weeks later saying he would come the next day or by the end of the week to complete the job, which was very unprofessional. Update: Owner apologized and stated it is a really busy time. The crew came next day and did an excellent job. They had proper equipment, were safe, and kept us involved to make sure we were happy with the work. read more

What a great job! Honestly, in choosing a local tree service, Charles is the best of the best. He came and ripped out 6 bottle brush bushes from our front yard and took great care in making sure he didn't disrupt any of the house irrigation system. I am looking forward to having him come work on my palm trees. He's a great guy with a dedicated staff that cares. read more

Closed escrow on a beautiful property in Mission Hills, reached out to Charles to see if you could take care of two trees. He was able to make it out to the property the same day to give a quote!!! I had a hard enough time getting other companies to return my call or answer the phone. By the time the other company started calling back six to eight hours later in the day I informed them I already found a company and the job was being started the next day. The pictures speak for themselves Charles and his crew were very professional and did a phenomenal job. Left the property spotless no clean up afterwards could not be happier with job done! read more

Absolute professional. I would work with his company every day of the week and twice on Sunday but I'm sure he's in church so he probably doesnt work Sunday. Regardless great crew no issues at all Thanks guys! read more

Charles has been trimming our trees for several years now. His crew always does an excellent job. We have a lot of trees, and Forest always takes the time to walk through the property with me and listen to what we want to accomplish. Trim everything back, but leave some shade. Basically the impossible, but he makes it happen. Charles is always very responsive and makes sure we are happy with the finished product. We recommend him to friends, family and neighbors. Great value and quality work every time! Thank you. read more

Charles Tree Service was highly recommended to me by a neighbor. I called to have a 40 foot Mexican Palm tree removed from my backyard. Charles and his crew did an EXCELLENT JOB!

Charles and his team pruned 4 trees on my property today. They did an excellent job. My trees look beautiful and healthy now. The clean up was great. Charles always responded in a timely manner when communicating about the job. He and his team were very nice and easy to work with. Thanks for your professionalism and skill! read more

Wow, that's all I can say! Seriously Charles and his crew are no nonsense, they worked quickly and they left my yard looking very clean after taking out three trees and grinding the stumps. They did a couple of other things too and they were completely finished in about 1.5 hours. I had trouble getting a call back from arborists, then I found a lot of good reviews on Yelp for Charles so I figured I'd try him. Twenty four hours after I sent him an email my yard was completely finished! I'm so happy to get more light into my backyard, there were too many trees before. If you need trees removed or trimmed don't waste your time calling around to arborists, call Charles and get it done! I'm sure that if you have a valuable sick tree or very expensive trees you may prefer an arborist, but for most trees and yards you'll be very, very happy with Charles and his crew. read more

What an excellent experience! Charles Tree service immediately returned our call and was able to come out and give us a quote the same day. The crew removed a forty year old eyesore of a tree in the blink of an eye. They are extremely efficient and left our front yard spotless when the job was done. I highly recommend their service if you want the job done right. read more

Charles tree service was awesome. I had a huge rubber tree that needed to be pruned way down, he came out a couple days after I contacted him, checked it out and dispatched his team the same day. 45 mins later that huge rubber tree was mostly gone and now down to a much more manageable size. Definitely recommend if you got a tree job you need wrangled. Professional, communicative, and quick!!! read more

Charles and his team did an excellent job removing a large jacaranda tree that was severely leaning into a neighbor's yard. They never even had to enter the neighbor's yard which was much appreciated. His price was fair and quite a bit lower than some other quotes we had received. Communication regarding arrival time could have been better but overall I'm satisfied and will hire Charles again for any future tree removal work. read more

I'll definitely be using his services again! Charles knows his business!!! read more

I called Charles on Friday morning for a quote and he wasted no time gathering his crew and was working within 2 hours. All the trees turned out beautiful and they laced and cut out the dead. Their professional advice about savings the trees rather than taking them out shows you their honest and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Charles Tree Service read more
