I paid close to $2000 to have a couple of large trees trimmed in late 2017. Both near the house. Tree number one was very old, and I asked if it'd be better to just take that one out and plant a new one. I was told it was good, plenty of life left in it. It looked a little rough to me, but I'm not an expert, so I accepted that and had it trimmed. Tree number two, not rooted quite as close to the house, but some serious overhang and always branches close to the roof. I asked for that one to be cut back far enough that I wouldn't have branches or limbs near the roof..they came and left, and it didn't look like much had been trimmed on either tree, but again, I'm not the expert. Funny thing was I kept getting tree trimming business cards from other companies on my door AFTER they did the work. Coming in to 2019, both trees were hanging over the house, branches near the roof. A few months ago, I went with a different company, turns out the older tree had no life left, and he confirmed that the other tree couldn't have grown that much in a year if Garcia's had actually cut it back as far as they should have. So this year, spent another good chunk of money on tree removal #1 and trim #2 and it looks like we'll be good for a while. read more
