5-Star Workers, but 1-Star Management & Unreliable Pricing I am giving this business 2 stars because there is a massive divide between the quality of the workers and the management's professionalism. The Good (The Crew): The actual work crew was excellent. They arrived the day after the estimate and were incredibly meticulous. They used a smart technique of tying the palm branches and fruit clusters before cutting to lower them slowly to the ground. They were very careful not to let debris fall over the neighbor's fence and didn't damage a single plant in my garden. For the actual labor, they deserve 5 stars. The Bad (The Owner, Fermin): The experience changed when the owner, Fermin, joined them and started working on the Canary palms. Felipe, his brother had originally quoted me a price for 10 palm trees and one additional tree. However, Fermin was unwilling to honor that agreement. He claimed that trimming the Canary palms alone should cost an extra $400-$600--a price difference that was never mentioned during the original estimate. Felipe did not stand by his original word once his brother arrived, and even made excuses that further trimming would "hurt" the trees to avoid the agreed-upon work. The Verdict: Fermin eventually trimmed the Canary palms, but he showed a poor attitude throughout. He complained about the number of leaves and the danger of the spikes, and he did the bare minimum just to say the job was done. It is a shame that such a skilled crew is managed with poor communication and a lack of clear pricing. WARNING: If you hire them, you must get a signed, itemized contract in writing. Do not rely on a verbal agreement, as the management may try to change the terms or complain about the scope of work halfway through. read more

Fermin and his team helped remove 4 banana tree plants from our yard back in Aug. He also pruned and maintained our tall palm trees. We have 4 Mexican needle palm trees that are very tall, and Fermin climbed it himself and pruned them. They cleaned up our yard afterwards. I highly recommend Fermin and his team! We received 4 other quotes from other arborists and Fermin's schedule and pricing was the best for our situation. I would go back to Fermin for all our tree services. read more

Fermin tree service came to prune our tree and remove part of a branch that was overhanging our roof. They were instructed to remove dead branches. Regrettably, they cut significant more of our majestic tree including substantial amounts of live branches and topping off of major branches (see photos). We had a professional arborist come in afterwards. They stated that the tree has been over pruned. No more than 25% of a tree's biomass should be pruned at once. It's going to take years of care to try and recover from the over pruning involving fertilizer, watering every three weeks, and pruning of sprouts from the large branches that should not have been cut. This company is clearly only suitable for complete removal of trees and not any kind of pruning. read more

From the first inquiry this has been a wonderful experience. Ivan is so professional and courteous. An appointment was made for the next day and a quote was given.

Thank you Ivan and Fermin for doing business with a handshake and honesty. BettyJo A. read more

Ivan responded to my request for an estimate very quickly and came by the next day (bonus points - showed up early). Sent an emailed invoice and also attached their license. Arrived on-time the day of and they were able to take care of trimming 7 trees even though it was raining. The crew was very quick, efficient, and nice too. They set up cones for safety in front of our house and then hauled away. The trees were shaped very nicely too! Finished the job in a day and cleaned up. All-in-all, an extremely professional company and I was very impressed because we've dealt with our share of contractors that gave us headaches. We will call them from now on for our tree trimming needs. Would highly recommend! read more

OK, I really wish there was more than 5 stars I could give as this is a business worth mentioning so at least 10 stars or more. Fermin was recommended to me like couples years ago by a friend who raved about them so when I was in need for tree service and arborist I called Fermin and the owner Ivan answered, was very pleasant and took action right away, next day. My need was urgent so Ivan understood that, brought the arborist out, went to the city for me and honestly went waaaaay above and beyond of his responsibilities. I am actually in disbelief of how professional Ivan is and the service he provided. I don't usually waste time to give reviews but felt needed to in this case as this exceptional customer service needs to be recognized and let the community know who they can turn to when in need of tree service or arborist. Look no further as I guarantee you, you will not find anything better or even close to exceptional service Ivan provided. And just to clarify, I am not providing this rating as a friend or relative, in fact this is the first time I spoke to and met Ivan the owner. BUT I'll tell you one thing for sure, it won't be the last time as I plan to use Fermin services from here on forward and let all my friends and family know. Also, the person who recommended Fermin is getting a very nice bottle of wine from me as a thank you for this amazing recommendation. Ivan, keep up the great work, flawless and exceptional customer service you are providing isn't always easy to find these days so thank you! read more

I felt like they were very courteous, respectful of the property, and had GREAT communication as the work progressed. They really helped me out. I would highly recommend Fermin Tree Service! read more

They did a quick beautiful job trimming our 4 large cypress trees at a fair price. They have never looked better.

Fermin and his team did a great job cutting the two sub-trees out of a big 3-branch tree in our front yard. Of all the quotes I received, Fermin's was the best. He was also very polite to talk to. On the day of, he brought a big team of 6 people who accomplished the task within an hour along with haul away. Everyone showed up in masks due to the pandemic and there was no disruption to our daily schedules because of what they were doing outside. They cleaned up after themselves and also left a few business cards with me. Highly recommended!! read more

I have a few trees on my properties that require professional pruning every 3 years or so, and I've used these guys many times over. The neighbors always ask "who did your trees - they look great" after, and I'm always pleased with their work, so this review is definitely overdue. They've always been willing to meet any reasonable price with me as well, so I would definitely recommend calling for an estimate when it comes time to prune your big trees... read more

I needed to cut down an out of control tree in my backyard. Fermin left his business card in my mailbox, so I called for an estimate. I usually do research on yelp before using contractors, but couldn't find any reviews on them here. But I decided to take a chance anyways because his estimate was extremely reasonable. They cut it down the way I wanted, were very polite, and did a nice job of cleaning up after themselves. read more
