I have a huge Southern Magnolia in my front yard that has been showing signs of stress, including cracked bark and many dead branches. I have made the mistake in the past of hiring regular tree trimmers that often butchered the tree, including topping it by 10 feet or so. Big mistake! Thank God I hired a true arborist (Bryan) at David's Tree Service. For $200, he spent one hour walking my entire property and giving me pointers on all my trees and shrubs. That $200 applied to the treatment his company gave the Magnolia, which had developed a canker disease. I learned so much from Bryan and plan to use Davi'ds Tree Service from now on! Did you know that single-trunked trees should never be topped? Bryan explained that the new branches will now grow vertically to compete with the main trunk, ruining the natural look of the tree. Too bad the local tree trimmers don't seem to know this fact. Look around your area and see how many trees they've destroyed. David's Tree Service is more expensive, but what price would you pay to save your precious trees? read more

David's Tree Service has an arborist. Many tree services don't. This was helpful to us because we have Eucalyptus trees that have a bug infection. The arborist recognized the problem immediately and recommended a treatment. I think the company is very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Be aware that this company is more expensive than most, but if you need the professional that recognizes the problem and knows how to take care of it, it's well worth their fee. read more

I had a very good experience with them today. They came out yesterday to provide me a quote and called me before the end of the day and said they had an opening for today. The quote was half the price I was expecting and Grant who came out was great! I even reached out to him by text towards the end of the job and he called me promptly to help me out with something. My HOA uses a competitor of theirs but that competitor recommended David's Tree Service and said that they do residential and the same quality of work we do. I was happy to see labeled vehicles and uniforms. I was happy with the contract and how they explained with definitions of all the services they would be providing. There was no guess work and I had complete confidence in them. I am so happy to have found them and will refer them to everyone I know. read more

We used David's approximately two years ago to trim our backyard trees (Lime and a Crate Myrtle). We scheduled service again on the same two trees. We were told the crew would arrive at our home between noon and 3PM (why is it always in the middle of the day?). By 2:30, they had not yet arrived. I called the office and the representative said she would check with the crew. She called me back at ~ 2:50 to let me now they crew could not make it today and she wanted to reschedule. We will never use David's again and we suggest you do so with caution if your time is valuable. read more

The crew that came out to trim my trees did an excellent job! Very professional, knowledgeable, skilled, and cleaned up everything once they were done. They even left the bird nest I have in the top branches intacted I Highly recommend Davids Tree Service. read more

I had my 20 year tree service company retire so I looked to try out this company after looking for an experienced, licensed and bonded company. They did send out an arborist to look over my yard and provide me a quote. He took a lot of pictures which I think helps so there is no misunderstanding. He did make a few mistakes on which trees to prune and how so he came out again to correct that on the quote. I had to remove some trees, get new ones, trim everything (19 trees) on a job that was $6,000 for everything. They did a good job on the trimming/pruning. Unfortunately, my sprinkler lines were broken when they planted the new trees which they do warn you about. What I didn't do that I would recommend to others is to make sure you mark where the clear out drains are. I didn't do this and my drain got buried with the new trees. It took us over a week to find it and we were almost to the point of taking out the new trees to find it. Our gardener came and was helping us dig out the entire area (yes we used a snake, ran water etc). This was after the week we took to fix the sprinkler lines. So just be sure to plan for broken sprinkler lines and mark the drains to save yourself some aggravation. read more

Matthew Green of David's Tree Service falsely represents that he is a certified arborist. He is not. (No valid certification with ISA, who he claims to be certified under: cert #WE 10167A is invalid) When confronted, he then tried to cover it up and say it was a "misunderstanding" and his certification was on "appeal". ISA stated this is false. Additionally, months later he is still not certified and David's Tree Service persists in advertising him as such. It's foolish on their part; they're exposing themselves to liability by employing his services when he's not certified. Most recently I found a living tree root that he was supposed to have severed growing on my property. This was confirmed by a registered arborist. Matt Green missed it. I had another service sever it and install a barrier. Dishonest and inept. read more

This was supposed to be shaped smaller in this mshape and they butchered it . I paid $500 for this and didn't even offer a refund

They came out and removed several plants and trimmed others. After we found 3 major leaks from cutting irrigation lines. Luckily our gardener or I fixed. Also Mathew(?)the arborist promised to give me a list of alternative plants to replace Podocarpus, but after 2 attempts to contact, I have received no response and am disappointed. read more

Showed up on-time for quoted work. Guys were professional and SAFE. Was a shame to cut down this tree but their arborist was great to work with (legitimately pained we couldn't help this tree, you could see it easily). I love a stump that's properly ground, giggidy. We've already reseeded with grass to match and it's taken very well. Would recommend. read more

I bought my house back in 1997, and was in need of somebody to service my palm trees as well as remove a HUGE cactus in my back yard. I gave David's Tree service a try (mostly because my name is also David, so I figured it had to be my tree service). I dealt directly with David, the owner, back then. They did a great job cleaning up my trees and removing the cactus. Since then, I've used David's Tree Service numerous times, and have always been happy with the results. In recent years, I've worked with Matt, one of their arborists. Matt's expertise helped me diagnose a serious infection to a couple of my trees as well as the source of the infection, which was a huge help in allowing me to address the issues. I highly recommend them for anybody looking to have their trees serviced by professionals with expertise in tree issues and maintenance. read more

Hector was very prompt and negotiated a fair price for a palm tree removal. Very quick service!

We recently bought a house with a bunch of fruit trees that we have no idea how to take care of. After reading Yelp reviews, we reached out to a few tree companies with arborists on staff to find out if we could pay them to come out and teach us how to care for our trees. Maria answered my email very fast and was super helpful. She said that yes, they could send an arborist out for a consultation for a small fee. (couple hundred bucks) They sent Matthew out and oh. my. gosh. Matthew KNOWS HIS STUFF! He was a wealth of knowledge and answered all our crazy questions. We now feel prepared to care for our trees and we know so much more about them. He was very hands on and really showed us everything he was talking about. He was great at putting things into layman's terms too. He didn't try to upsell us on any services, although he did explain what they could do to help if we wanted. We appreciated the no-pressure aspect. The only weird thing about David's was that it was reiterated several times (over email and phone) by Maria that we had to pay him upfront. This was totally fine but her continued request for this was a little off-putting. However, I'm assuming they've been burned before and it wasn't a problem. We will DEFINITELY be hiring David's for all of our tree needs. Matthew is a gem and we can't thank him enough for all that he taught us today. It was money well spent! read more

We highly recommend David's Tree service Huntington Beach. We needed one tree removed and the other one shaped in our backyard. Their service was great.

I give them 5 stars for their professionalism, though they would not cut the top of the tree. I understand they think this is bad for the tree but I've been doing it for 50 years to keep them from blowing down in a big storm. Even so, I recommend them. read more

We reached out to David's Tree Service since we've seen and heard a lot of good things about this company. The team was professional, their equipment is top notch! and their work is outstanding. Everything was cleaned up as though they were never there. We highly recommend DTS for all your tree service needs! Thank you!!!! read more

We have used David's Tree Service for several years to trim our five palm trees in our parkway. The trees are now more than 70 feet tall. The crew that was here this week were absolutely outstanding in doing the work and making sure it was to our liking and cleaning up every trace of debris.

Moved into house with aging Lemon tree. Asked for Dave's to give me estimate on condition of tree and trim. Grant came out next day and evaluated tree with their arborist. Took pictures to make sure of overall condition. Gave me estimate to trim tree and told me he would send report from arborist. That arrived within a couple of days. Tree in good health but needed some fertilizer. Came following day and trimmed tree. Outstanding crew in trimming, making sure to clean up all the debris. Would definitely use their service again. Excellent value for the charges. read more

Can't complain about these hardworking guys. We needed to remove an old stump that had roots going every which way in the front yard. This stump-grinding would require some strong machinery. We also had a couple of trees in the backyard that we wanted to remove. Problem with the backyard is that we have very little access. No worries, mr John C. In the front office arranged for Matt the arborist to have a look. Matt identified the trees and explained the process. We scheduled the tree service and three big trucks with machinery and a boom lift show up exactly at the time we scheduled. Gus, the foreman and the crew took a look around, gaged the access points, asked us to move our cars, and put up plywood barriers to prevent damage to the house. The stump-grinder is awesome. It churned the big stump into tiny bits and pieces, and then the crew pulled up the extended roots. The backyard trees were chopped down and sections were carried over a block wall using the boom lift. The sections of the tree were put into a chipper and branches and leaves had no impact on the operation. We asked to keep a chunk of the big trunk and there was no problem. Wow, They totally were good at what they are doing. David's Tree Service crew cleaned up afterwards and we are very happy with their service. read more

Needed an arborist to look at my trees. These guys had one of the only certified arborists around. After one missed appointment, he came and evaluated my trees, gave me recommendations, and a written report! Exactly what I needed. Also gave me a quote for the service that he recommended. Nice guy! read more

We have used David's Tree Service for a couple of years at our residence, but upon needing help with determining a plan for a struggling olive tree, they've gone completely silent on me despite taking my money. Long story short, we agreed to soil samples for lab analysis earlier this Spring, and they've still yet to produce a course of action for us. It took me half a dozen calls over 2-3 months time just to get a return call from the arborist (Matthew Green) who took on our project. Despite him promising "next steps" in August we've not seen those or any return calls nor follow-up otherwise. Now, my most recent calls to their office (this Fall) have been met with silence. They may know trees, but not good customer service. I sincerely hope the business operator sees this post and tries to reach out to make things right. (Service requests booked under the name Nicole Trapp) read more

We chose parva free service to cut down 13 HUGE pine trees at our commercial property. They did a very good job, everything as promised. The service was timely and they cleaned up after themselves to our liking. Would use again. Fair pricing but even better the quality of the work. Thank you!! read more

The only stars are for the one actual worker who did all of the work on our tree line. He was fast and furious, he climbed every tree in the line and hand trimmed them. However, the company itself is pretty shady. We have a 5-tree line that was shedding into the pool and hot tub. They're pretty tall, and we couldn't trim them ourselves so we looked for a company to do it. They sent an arborist over to assess the situation, and he said that it would take a crew "about 6-7 hours" or what would equate to a full day of trimming. He said that because their crew would have to spend a full day here, it would cost well over $2000. That logic works, it's a full day their crew and equipment is tied up. They sent a quote for $2600, which was only a quote and would be finalized after the work was done. However - it ended up taking one guy (his 2 coworkers stayed on the ground and cleaned up as he trimmed) THREE HOURS to finish the job. I had just had a major surgery so I laid in bed watching the entire process. It took an extra 30 minutes or so to clean up the mess and they were gone. But when we asked about the fact that the quote was way off - we were told sorry, it won't be changed. So they essentially charged us $743 an hour for one guy to trim, and two guys to clean his trimmings. They hosed us bigtime. We'll need these trees trimmed probably 2-3 times every year and David's will definitely not be the place we use for that maintenance. read more

My little tree was caught in the winds last month and was blown over, stopped only because it was resting on my shed. I called three places in Huntington Beach. The other two companies were going to charge me the same price and, sight unseen, told me there was no saving my tree. David's had me send photos and then had they had their arborist call me back and he said he thought the tree could be salvaged. He came personally to evaluate the situation. A few weeks later, a team of three guys came to stake and trim the tree and trim a second tree. First, they didn't "top" my trees. They left them natural looking and trimmed appropriately so they retained a nice shape and in a way that is healthier for the tree. They showed up on time, worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. I will definitely be using them in the future to care for my trees. read more

Destroyed my avocado tree, took all my avocados after being told not to, cut way more than I told them to and cut trees they were not supposed to. I'm so beyond angry, this is a useless company who made the experience horrible from when they arrived to when I got home from work and saw none of my instructions were followed and they ransacked all the avocados and lemons from my yard as well as stepped on and trampled all the flowers in my flowerbed I now have to replace. Unacceptable as a tree trimming company. They also left a huge mess in my yard (sticks, logs, leaves) that I'm now having to clean up after a long day at work, which I figured was a part of PAYING someone to cut my tree. read more

Truly beautiful work on our overgrown Brazilian pepper tree.

Very bad experiences with the David's Tree Service https://studio.youtube.com/video/ZK1xXzUaH6M/edit It happened twice in 2019. Once was in Feb and again in Aug. Those are the video recording in Aug. I installed my shed in late Jan 2019 and right after that they came to our community to trim trees. I witness they damaged my shed so I told the workers to contact me. They never did. So a few days later, I called the company. David came to checked the roof damage and saw how the shed roof was damaged (photos link at below https://photos.app.goo.gl/bt7B1x6dfJATVKwcA He told me he would get back with me. He never did. I called the company and left him messages several times, but no answers. Very unprofessional and irresponsible company and people. They don't care about your safety nor personal property. They only take big blanches and left my back yard in a mess. I would not recommend this company to anyone. read more

Attention Tree care customers. ATTENTION SENIORS! This company charged me $525 for tree service to get rid of bugs. When it didn't work they wished me "good luck". The best luck you will have is by staying away from these crooks. Your wishing us luck is unprofessional and for $525, it's an insult. Standing behind your work would be a better business model. Also the practice of blaming and bashing former employees is juvenile. You should be ashamed but I doubt you would see it that way read more

Charged $525 to treat 3 Palo Verde trees. The "Arborist" stated that the treatment would keep pests away for 12-14 months. 3 months later the caterpillars are back in abundance. I called and spoke to the "the director business operations " who claimed the Arborist who did the job had fled the country! He said that the treatment wasn't guaranteed but maybe he could do a free treatment. Then of course he decided he would charge $250. I recommend staying away from David's Tree Service. Its a RIP off. The "director" said I'm not allowed to even speak to the owner because HE speaks for the owner. Beware of these cheats read more

Cut down and stumped four trees that were up in the low-voltage lines. Did a great job for a good price. Recommend.

David reached out to us after our negative review to make things right. He came out and replaced the dead tree with a brand new one. The new tree isn't 100% either so I can't give 5 stars, but kudos to them for trying to make things right. I feel like this might not be the right tree for this location on our property, as this tree appears to be dying as well despite all the recent rain. read more

We have been using David's for so many years I can't count. They are one of the most professional tree services in the business. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and can always figure out what needs to be done to keep our trees healthy. And the crews always do a great job with beautiful shaping and pruning of our trees, not just hacking away at the branches. They even go beyond by cleaning up my neighbors yard beyond the clippings that they create. A pleasant treat for the neighbor. I highly recommend them. Ed and Liz. R. read more

If I could give more stars I would. We have only lived in this house 8 months and had a 50 ft. eucalyptus fall over in our back yard. I contacted a handful of arborist from Yelp to give me a quote on tree removal and do a full inspection of all other trees on our lot. I have nothing negative to say about the other companies that came out but Matthew from David's Tree Service just really seemed to be extremely educated in all tress and spent a lot of time educating us on everything we had growing. He determined we had one other eucalyptus that was going to fall over soon. But, the other four remaining were in great shape. Also evaluated all other trees and let us know the good and bad on all. Quote prepared was fair for all the work proposed. Christian and his crew showed up right on time and did a fantastic job on removal of trees, professionally trimming other trees that had been butchered over the years, 4 stump removals, and full clean up at the end. The crew was nice, professional and honestly could not be better. Price charged was exactly the price quoted. We will be having them come back soon to do more tree trimming. Just a great service all the way around. read more

So I got a notice at my door last week on Thursday October 17th that this company plans on trimming my back area pine trees for our association. I called this company and spoke with Marissa last Friday and again on Monday to find out what day this week they plan on trimming? I am having remodeling starting Thursday where they are moving my furniture out on my patio while construction happens on Friday. I must say I was pleasantly surprised when the company's arborist, Richard reached out to me by a phone call to reassure me they are aware of my situation and will be trimming prior to my construction starting. I would highly recommend David's Tree Service to anyone. read more

I highly recommend David's Tree Service! Had a great experience all the way around, from Matt Green's (Arborist) initial visit and suggestions, to the quote, scheduling and service. Everyone was very nice and professional. I had a general inspection from Matt and followed it up with a service-call to skin the trunks and clean up my Pygmy Date Palms. The crew was very nice, respectful of my garden/property and did an overall excellent job! Everyone wore masks. Don't know why I waited so long to have this done, made a HUGE difference. Way more light in my garden and looks so much better overall. I had propped one severely leaning palm tree with a piece of 2 x 4, and the crew replaced it with much cooler looking, carved wood brace, which made my day since it's visible outside living room window. The crew also cleaned up every piece of cut palm fluff, much to the neighborhood squirrel's looking for nesting materials disappointment! Thanks to everyone at David's Tree Service, will definitely call again when I need help! read more
