Noe's crew did an excellent job of trimming our large redwood tree. They removed a few large branches and thinned out the others while still respecting the basic contours of the tree. They were careful not to damage the surrounding landscaping and they cleaned up very thoroughly. Although he cautioned me ahead of time that the price would be higher because of inflation, it was not significantly more than what I paid him for the same work 5 years ago. I will use him again in the future. read more

After a large branch from a cypress fell onto the street, our attention turned to other branches that could similarly be affected by high height trucks brushing against their branches. And had a concern about branches overhanging our roof, plus high dead branches on some other cypress. Noe Hernandez's team did an excellent job of pruning the old cypress, and trimming back the younger cypresses (all volunteer). Birds are happy, trees look so much better, roof is better off -- job well done. read more

Green Terra has just finished removing a huge (and I mean huge) branch from my oak tree to reduce the weight on that side in order to (hopefully) stop the tree's slow fall toward our back fence. They also pruned some other smaller branches for further weight reduction and to balance the tree's shape, and it looks fantastic. I am fussy about the aesthetics of pruning, and Noe's calls on what to cut were downright artistic. In terms of logistics, they showed up when they said they would (for both the estimate and the work), got it done in 4.5 hours (exactly how long Noe estimated), and cleaned up as well as any arborist I've used (I've had this oak pruned many times, and there are always some little twigs for me to clean up). Noe checked with me several times during the pruning for my opinion, which I appreciated (especially as a female, since some arborists in the past have been very dismissive toward me). They left firewood as requested. The only thing that could have been better is responsiveness to emails, but I followed up with a phone call and was always able to get through by phone. The price was competitive too. I'm a very happy camper. read more

When we hire people to do anything around the house, we appreciate a job well done - but appreciate even more when we happen upon those rare folks who are truly passionate about their work. Noe's expertise and instincts stem from a deep respect for his work and his clients, and an approach to tree management that feels downright spiritual. We were the latest in a series of neighbors to hire Green Terra, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. These guys transformed six large, unruly, overgrown trees that hadn't been touched in years, if ever. These trees now look beautiful - and their shapes are organic and healthy. These men are incredibly talented, and the cleanup job was impeccable. Noe and his team are tree trimmers, yes - but "tree master craftsmen" is a more accurate term. read more

Thanks very much, Noe! Major wires run through my street tree, and Noe's company has been a tremendous help over the years in mitigating the potential danger of wires being knocked down in a storm. Parking is a big issue on my street, and Noe was very considerate to work with me in finding a time slot when we could work safely to take off a lot of heavy branches. The once-a-month street cleaning is an ideal opportunity, and Noe was very considerate in his scheduling to take advantage of this window of opportunity. It was a pleasure dealing with Noe and his brother today; they were timely, efficient, talented and very professional. Highly recommended! read more

Easily set up an estimate appointment and arrived on time. Offered a fair price to remove two trees and then they arrived *exactly* when expected the next morning. They quickly got the job done. Left the place nicely cleaned up. Friendly owner and workers. Highly recommended. read more

I called and emailed twice. I never heard back. Not terribly professional. So easy to respond back (auto response!) that might say, " hello, I received your email. I am currently booked for 3 weeks (or whatever) and not taking on new clients", or " Hello, I received your email. I will get back to you within 48 hours, I do not handle emergency tree repair" Or whatever.... but dead silence is VERY BAD for business. read more

I set up an appointment to meet with Noe and he totally flaked. Not only did miss our appointment, he never called me to apologize or to set up another appointment. Nothing worse than making plans around an appointment on one of your few days off and having to deal with a flake. read more

Noe recently pruned two trees for me and did a great job. The neighbor's lemon tree was especially challenging because in the past it had been over-pruned and the neighbor was upset about that. Noe shaped it and limited the height, thinning it out just enough to let light through, but leaving plenty of foliage to keep the neighbor happy. He worked wonders with a bush in my front yard that is really a tree and was getting out of control. Now I can walk by it, see over it, and see through it, just as I wanted, but it doesn't look stripped. read more

Noe and his crew are great. He was the only tree service to return my call, did a thorough exam of all of our trees and then gave me a very reasonable bid on the spot. He and his guys were prompt, very friendly, patient with the fact that they had to share the yard with our dog, and their work was great. We had poor timing and so Noe did his work right after we re-landscaped our entire yard, but he and his crew took impeccable care of our new plants and promptly replaced the two that they inadvertently damaged. In addition, their cleanup was impeccable. I would not waste my time calling anyone else for tree care. read more

Recently had my trees trimmed. Great service. They were careful, did great cleanup and trees look nice.

Green Terra Tree Service donated $800 worth of services to the Adopt a Special Kid silent auction. We purchased this item and couldn't have been happier. We have a very large Cedar tree that was dropping debris all over our yard. The crew of 3 spent a full day pruning the tree and it now looks beautiful. The backyard ended the day in better shape that it began -- they cleaned up their mess and the mess that was there before. Compared to other tree work I have seen this is the best. read more

We have had Noe and his team take care of our trees on several occasions. They do an amazing job. The latest job was to thin our huge oak trees. They had to haul the branches up the hill to the street. They were so careful and every bit was cleaned up and nothing in the rest of the garden disturbed. Noe is personable and passionate about the work. I would highly recommend them. read more

Green Terra Tree Service. I have seen green terra tree service perform work and while they might be a very personable group of owner and workers there should be more. More as in when you prune an oak tree in an oak grove it should grow back even better. Not on the two oak trees cut in the oak grove I live next to. Hacked to stand still with no growth in the past year after the lead guy went to it with a chain saw. I hear great things about this company but to see the ramifications of their work at the end, I will have to say maybe some more schooling on how to approach the tree service they are providing our neighborhood. On another instance that I have witnessed their work. When trying to cut back trees they are better at tree removal because cutting back and maintaining the integrity of the tree is not a strong suit for this company. At best they are one of the weaker tree services in the area. While used by many their workmanship is poor and you are not even able to communicate with the lead guy carrying the chain saw. Please go easy on the tree, no English wromwrom...ahhhh! where did the tree go. My advise research who comes and does the work. If you are looking for a great company who will take care of your trees for the future to come. Green Terra is not the company for the job but if you want to destroy the look of the property green terra will pull it off with ease. Just what I see read more

Noe and his team (including is his adorable dog) were beyond professional. We needed to cut back an unruly tree in our front yard and they did a fantastic job. Noe is very knowledgeable and is more than willing to answer any and all questions we had about the tree they were trimming and all the trees on our property. They did a fantastic job cleaning up, too. We'll definitely call him for all of our future tree needs. read more

Noe and his crew deserves the well earned 5 star rating. From the moment I called Noe to set an appointment for an estimate to the very last leaf and twig that was cleaned up, they were on-time, professional, knowledgeable, and just all around hard working individuals who take pride in their work. Noe and his crew of four did a full day's work of pruning 4 huge pine trees and removing 3 dead trees from my front and backyard. They not only cleaned up all the trimmings but left the entire property, front yard, side yard, backyard, and even the roof immaculate. Do not hesitate to hire Green Terra. If possible, I would give them ten, twenty, a hundred stars. read more

Noe and his crew are the best of the best. Incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I don't even give much direction anymore, I just point and say "whatever you think is best." read more

Noe and his crew have been doing the oak tree in our yard for years. In the past, we had people come in who would just hack at the tree so that it looked worse when they were done. The first time we had Green Terra do the job, we were awestruck. We did not realize the full potential of the beauty of our tree until Noe showed us what can be done. The difference is that they are artists first and tree trimmers second. read more

Noe Hernandez and his crew do excellent work -- professional, helpful, artistic -- a great job!

I am extremely happy with my recent experience with Green Terra Tree Service - I had a tree land on my house and needed it removed. Green Terra/Noe was timely, professional, and did a great job. I came home to the tree cut, removed and cleaned - all for a reasonable price. I would use them again and highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Noe and his crew have trimmed our trees for over a decade. He comes back every year and always does an impeccable job. More than efficient, he has an artistic eye and I wouldn't trust my Japanese Maple with anyone else. read more
