    Tree growing through my porch
    John B.

    In my line of business, obtaining 3 bids for any job is mandatory and the same outside of work as well. I had a tree growing through my porch damaging my foundation and a huge palm tree that both needed removing. Vendor #1 replied to my Yelp request immediately but then never followed up. Vendor #2 (Golden State Tree Service) responded quickly and followed up as promised with an estimate for the work. Vendor #3 responded in a timely manner but the estimate was almost double in price. Needless to say, I went with Golden State. Alonso and his staff did an amazing job removing both trees at a great price.

    Recently, due to the high winds, my wife had mentioned to me that the tree in the back yard was looking like it was almost at a breaking point. She stated let's ask around and see what price we can get for a trim. Let's avoid a possible liability should branches fall in the neighbors yard and damage something. Driving home from dropping off my pet I saw Alonso and his truck with his business logo in the side. He just happens to be living in my neighborhood, and I asked if he could take a look and quote me an amount on a tree that needed a trim in my backyard. Alonso was friendly and professional. Looked at the tree and gave me a quote that was very reasonable and told me he could have it done before the sun sets. Double checked with my wife to make sure we were both on the same page and called him back to let him know I was home and if he come now. His crew came by and in a matter of two hours they were done! Cleaned up the mess and said thank you and we're also very friendly and quick workers. If your looking to get a tree trimmed I suggest you at least give him a call and let him provide a quote. You won't be disappointed with his services and they are quick to get the job done!

    Ask for Alonso! Quick and easy service. I requested a quote from someone that was referred to me, and decided to just yelp one myself. Alonso's team was quick to respond, came out and quoted me within 30 minutes. He also beat the other competitors quote, so I hired him. They were scheduled for 0900, arrived right on time. It was a huge palm tree, but his guys got the job done quick and cleaned up nicely afterwards. They even cleaned up any mess that fell over to the neighbors yard. Sadly, they found a squirrels nest after they started the work, but brought these little guys down safely. They were picked up by animal control to be hand reared by professionals. Overall, very satisfied by their work, and Alonso's friendly service and team!

    Alonso was very quick in responding to my request for an estimate to trim our huge pine tree. He gave a great quote and was able to get his guys to come out same day. They were very quick, efficient and hard working and took care of everything I requested to be trimmed/cut. Overall excellent service and cleanup!! Will definitely keep the business saved for future needs and will recommend to anyone and everyone!! Great job!

    My house had a dead tree sitting in the backyard and I needed it gone. Alonso offered to do the work for a price that could not be beat. The work was done in 3 hours. I will definitely call them again for any tree trimming and landscaping needs.

    Before and After of my Chinese elm tree

    Hired Alonso to trim a huge Chinese elm tree in my front yard and they did an amazing job. See the before and after pictures I posted. His crew toiled all day and cleaned up every scrappy twig and branch. They also trimmed some trees in my backyard and did an excellent job there as well. His price was very fair for the amount of work and he came to supervise several times during the job. I will definitely hire them again and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs professional tree care.

    In searching for a reputable tree trimming company I called 4 other places. This company responded back to me in a timely fashion and offered a reasonable quote to clean a Queen Palm tree that had been dropping small fruits & looked awful for years. A crew came a few days later. They worked quickly and efficiently. I was impressed at the care they took not damaging my plants under the palm tree and how they cleaned up after themselves. They left my tree & condo looking beautiful. Will hire back for other trees soon. The only minus is they don't take credit cards.

    Here's our tree being cut down.

    This company was recommended by some friends that had their trees trimmed in Monrovia. I called Alonso and he came out for an estimate. He looked over the tree and gave me an estimate. Our pine tree was dying and he explained that the outer bark was peeling and the tree wasn't coming back. After much back and forth with our local city councilman, it was determined that I was issued a permit to get the tree removed myself. (FYI: if you live in the city of LA, the department of Urban Forestry will only trim your trees every NINE (9) years.) Alonso and crew arrived on time and initially a crew of four men took down our pine in less than one hour. As they cut down branches, two of the guys fed the branches into a chipper and cleaned the area around, even in the streets. I decided to also have the stumped grinded down. It costs a little more but worth it because I didn't want to attract termites or other invasive creatures later on. This took longer than the actual tree removal but the crew was professional and clean. I was shopping around for quotes from other tree removal services but this company actually showed me their license and insurance. And safety is a number one priority for me, the public and their workers.

    Alonzo and his crew were AMAZING! They were prompt, did what promised, clean, BEST PRICE, and strategically/skilled to worked together as a great team. This is my 2nd time using them and am so impressed with the way they work! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, thank you guys

    I met with 7 different landscapers to explore my options, pricing, knowledge of the job, and…read morequality of work. I did my research and read reviews from both Yelp and Google and finally decided to go with Scenic View Landscape. Isaias was easy to talk to, respectful, and professional. Also, pricing was fair and reasonable. From receiving my quote, Isaias and his team of family were able to do the landscape 3 weeks after the initial consultation, and finished in two days! They were impressive, quick but efficient, and cleaned after themselves. I had my front yard, side yard and backyard done. I asked them to add concrete steps for my front yard and also a bit more concrete to expand the parking space. They were also able to save me money by using some of the hollow blocks and bricks that I already had just laying around to use as a divider for my planters. My front yard and side yard was overgrown with weed and variety of plants that have grown wild also plants from previous owner that weren't really to my liking. They helped me plant over 20 new plants along with lavenders, santolina, society garlic and rosemary. The steps for my side yard that Isaias picked was so beautiful! It was perfect! They also replaced the mulch with gravel as I had wanted a more of a cleaner and minimal look as well as low maintenance. I really appreciated that they listened to what I envisioned and literally made it into reality. Thank you guys so much!

    I finally decided to take out my grass and do a native yard. I'm not sure why I waited so long…read more Scenic View Landscape made the whole process easy and exciting. From the beginning Isaias was an ease to work with. He returned my call, talked to me about my plan, came out and measured and gave me a bid, had very fair pricing, and kept me updated on the start date. He also allowed me to meet him at the nursery to pick the plants/colors that I wanted for my yard. When Isaias and his crew started, it was a pretty quick two-day process. He and his crew were very responsive to my design ideas. I wanted a berm next to a dry riverbed to give the yard some texture. Yet, Isaias and the guys also added their expertise on things I would not have known to do and design ideas that increased the beauty of the landscape. The materials (bark, stone) are really nice quality. And they left everything clean and tidy. In the end I was happier than I ever expected. Now all I want to do is sit out front and watch the beautiful plants grow and the birds and lizards make their homes. I'll attach photos of the before and after, but seeing their work up close is really impressive. Isaias, Jose, and the wonderful crew of guys they had, made the whole experience fun and rewarding. I couldn't have wished for better results.

    It was early September when I first contacted Mike, owner of Landscape Pro Services. He explained…read morethat he was quite busy and his irrigation specialist would be unable to do my drip irrigation job for at least a couple months. But Mike's business reviews, starting some 6 years earlier, were impressive. Almost all positive, those reviews convinced me to not be discouraged. I let him know I would gladly wait. Besides, I had already met with another "highly rated" Yelp contractor and was feeling rather discouraged. That guy had given me an extremely high bid. His subsequent communications and extreme bartering impressed me to be odd, bordering on unethical and untrustworthy. I knew I had to keep looking. In spite of his schedule, Mike graciously consented to come out see what was going on with my aging drip system the next week. Two weeks later, after I thought he had forgotten me, I received an unsolicited text from Mike with a genuine apology. We met the very next day. It went well. For a full hour, we discussed all my drip system problems. He made many recommendations, but his ideas were realistic and practical. He assured me that, instead of re-doing the entire system, he could take the existing drip lines and repair, replace, and improve, as needed. This meant a significant savings to me, and most importantly, much happier plants. His price quote was far more affordable. Meanwhile, while taking a look around, he noticed that my controller (timer) was misprogrammed. He asked my permission to reset everything so it would be running more efficiently, then took the time to explain everything he did. (I was ecstatic, me being the boob who had naively messed it up in the first place.) He shared some valuable tips on plant care as well. Little things like this convinced me I would be in good hands. December 2025. It was a wait, for sure, but we finally found a day to proceed on this 1-day project. He sent his irrigation specialist, Lazaro, out to my house and Lazaro was a god-send. Very reliable. Very ethical. Very hard-working and agreeable. What a great guy to have on your team. Lazaro completed everything in one day. I decided to add to the scope of work, adding a new controller unit at the same time. Lazaro ran out, bought the piece, installed it, and gave me hands-on training before leaving. And what do you know? The final bill still came to about one 3rd of the other guy's final quote. Could not be happier. An excellent experience in every sense of the word.

    Mike Jones is an absolute class…read more Coming from a poor experience with a previous contractor who we later found out wasn't even licensed, Landscape Pro Services truly came in clutch. From the level of service, to the quality of work on our backyard, to the unmatched turnaround time and value, Mike delivers on all levels. If I could give him more stars than 5, I would. I gave him a general idea of what we were looking for and he truly exceeded all expectations with it. We have a fairly small backyard that if treated a certain way, wouldn't feel spacious. Somehow, our backyard now feels more open and bigger than it actually is and all with a modern touch. Throughout the span of the project, Mike kept a simple communication line going and was always so honest. So much so, that he gave us money back because we somehow accidentally paid more than we should've. Lowkey, I think we were just more than happy to pay the guy for how great of an experience the whole thing has been. Take our money! Mike, truly, thank you for bringing your expertise to our now stunning backyard. You've made it possible for the family to start enjoying daily backyard time!

    Sanchez Irrigation  - Before we demoed the front yard and the concrete

    I want to share my experience, not just for myself, but because I believe these people truly…read moredeserve more opportunities and more success. My experience with Daniel from Sanchez Irrigation was so outstanding that I felt compelled to write this. What sets him apart is his honesty--a quality that feels almost impossible to find in today's world. Before calling Sanchez Irrigation, I had several plumbers and irrigation specialists come out. Every one of them gave me conflicting or inflated diagnoses. Some said it was a two-valve solution. Others said regulator replacement. A few even pushed for a major trenching project. None of it felt right, and the costs just kept climbing. Daniel approached things completely differently. He came out the very next morning, patiently tested my system, and gave it the time it needed. Since it hadn't been used in months, he let the sprinklers pop up, loosened the ones grown into the lawn, and carefully diagnosed the system. After all of that, he told me plainly: the system was fine. I didn't need the costly work others tried to upsell me on. That kind of professionalism, honesty, and integrity is rare, and it immediately earned my trust. I then asked Daniel to take a closer look and help set up my sprinkler timer. During that inspection, he uncovered a real issue with the connection line, which he fixed on the spot. He also discovered a faulty drip line and replaced it with a sprinkler. That simple switch not only solved the problem but also saved me a significant amount of money. Daniel and his partner worked fast, attentive, and immaculate. They didn't just fix problems. They went above and beyond by setting up my timer, explaining how often I should water, and making sure I understood how to maintain the system moving forward. That extra care gave me real peace of mind. Another thing that stood out to me was their pricing. It was very fair and reasonable--especially compared to the inflated quotes I had been given before. Their honesty in pricing matched their honesty in service, and it made me feel confident that I was in good hands. What left the biggest impression was their attitude. Despite me being late to our appointment and adding extra tasks on the spot, Daniel remained patient, respectful, helpful, and positive. He didn't rush. He handled everything I asked for--and more--with professionalism, honesty, and goodwill. It's a shame that I even have to separate honesty and integrity from professionalism, when they should always go hand in hand. In a world where true honesty and quality service are so hard to come by, Daniel and his partner from Sanchez Irrigation are a rare find. I know for sure, without a doubt, that any future irrigation work I need will start and end with them. I highly recommend Sanchez Irrigation and I know for sure that I will be pointing people around me towards them as well!!
