    Trimmed tree
    paul k.

    A very good experience with Joel's tree service. I reached out about trimming back. A large tree on our front lawn are grown over our neighbors property and was touching their tall palm tree. They responded quickly with a quote and was out in my house within two days. A crew three came out and handled it and having the tree shredder help, dispose of all the leaves and branches.

    Stump removal

    We had a 40-50 foot palm tree fall in a storm last year that we needed removed. We also have a 60-70 foot palm tree that was in desperate need of a trim. I solicited bids on yelp. Joel's Tree Service was one of the first ones to respond. I scheduled a visit with Joel, so he could assess the situation and give me a proper bid. (As opposed to the company that gave me a bid for double the price, site unseen.) Based on the other bids I received, I thought Joel's was the best. We scheduled the work for the following week. The tree wasn't in our way, so we weren't in a rush. I received a confirmation text from Joel in advance of his arrival. Joel and his crew showed up on time and got right to work. It was an eight hour job! The tree trimming was first. I don't envy the guy who shimmies up the side of the tree, but he was fun to watch! The removal of the fallen tree was also fascinating to watch, the way they went about cutting and removing pieces of stump that weighed hundreds and hundreds of pounds. The crew also cleaned up so well, you could hardly tell they were there. In sum, I think I made the right choice. I would use Joel's Tree Service again. + Great Communication + Great Job + Cleaned up afterwards

    Very disappointed in my experience. We had two very large palm trees that needed removal. One was in our driveway, the other in a tight spot in our backyard. We were quoted $5,000, which was more or less on par with other quotes we'd received - but their strong reviews and responsiveness tipped us towards choosing Joel's. Everything leading up to the tree trimming, and even the trimming itself was smooth, but we have two major issues with how the site was left. Our concrete driveway was ruined - the impact from falling tree trunks pounded the cement, cracking and breaking the concrete in multiple places. At no point were we warned that this might be an outcome - it was a complete afterthought, mildly acknowledged while they were packing up on their last day. We now have to figure out whether we want to spend the money to have this repaired, or redo our driveway entirely - something we would have chosen to time differently had we known what to expect. The other palm tree in the backyard was in an awkward spot, but we were assured that although they wouldn't be able to remove the trunk entirely, it would be ground down to the floor so that whatever remained could be covered with mulch. Again, I've included a photo of how the trunk was left - easily 9 full inches above the ground. Covering it with mulch in it's current state would leave a pretty silly looking pile, nowhere near level. Again, we were informed after the fact that the access to the backyard was too tight, and they couldn't get the correct equipment to properly grind down the stump. We made it pretty clear that we were unhappy with how things were left, and the response amounted to a shoulder shrug. For a company with this much experience, and positive reviews, I have a hard time understanding how they lacked the foresight to properly manage our expectations. Maybe some of this was inevitable, or out of their control, but I would have like to have all the information ahead of time, so I could then decide how best to proceed. Instead, I'm stuck having to find another set of handymen and experts who can finish the job properly. It's incredibly frustrating, and I would hate for others to find themselves in this situation.

    And it's gone!

California Green Tree Care came out to my home and did a great job trimming all of my Queen and King Palm Trees. They arrived on time, and the work performed was in line with what I was expecting and I was truly impressed. Their entire Crew were very professional, skillful and detailed in their work. I worked with their lead Edwin and his Team, who were all very knowledgeable and experienced in their job. Everything I hired them to do, came out great. From trimming all my Palm Trees and removing all the leftover debris. They did an excellent clean-up job once their work was completed. I would definitely recommend California Green Tree Care Service to anyone looking for any type of tree trimming service or more. Thank you, Italo Flores and your Project Crew... I'll see you guys' next year...

With the delays of the city over the past year, the city would not accept the "aged" report and asked for a new one. When we called James and asked him to revisit the site and update the report, he claimed that it would cost about the same as the original report. Alt nothing has changed at the property, while waiting for permits from the city, James said it would take even longer to issue a report as he would have to explain any changes from the first report (although the city refused the original report and NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE PROPERTY) We decided to reach out to other companies for a competitive price and obtained a price for a totally new report nearly 65% of-this company's price. Now remember, there is no issue of quality of the report as both companies just issue a report on the trees on s and there is no "good" or "bad" repor and hardly any justification for the inflated price and same price for updating the report. Anyway, the conversation with James was far from "giving a dam" about a customer; we paid him over $3k for the report and will now have to pay a little over $2k for a brand new one. Either way, I would never use their services again and suggest that you do the same.
