This is a professional and well organized tree service company. Every aspect of their operations is extremely well managed. Their call center manager Adriana (sp) was extremely courteous and she kept us well informed. The site visit with Ryan, a certified arborist, was great and all that we contracted for was provided. The crew arrived on time and was lead by Travis. Any tree service work results in debris and extensive clean up. The crew cleaned up all portions of their job related debris. They are slightly more expensive than other vendors we received quotes from. Their high level of service was well worth the price. We will certainly use them again. They earned their 5 star rating. read more

Luke and Jonathan both assessed my two Laurel Ficus and Avocado tree for systemic disease treatment, maintenance and competitive cost. They also spent their time explaining such systemic treatment, as well as how to apply correctly for the required San Diego Free Street Tree Permit for the two front trees. They were absolutely helpful in all these areas. Jonathan returned with the treatment within the expected timeframe, and a month later, my three trees look healthy now and I am grateful for their expertise in systemic treatment. Thank you! read more

Larry and Lynnette are awesome. I needed some branches for a project and Larry took the time to find me two amazing pieces and met me to hand them off. Such a pleasure to work with. Would recommend for any service. read more

We looked forward to their service after a great meeting with Ryan, but we specifically asked if they used spikes to climb the trees and were told no. The workers ended up spiking all of the trees they climbed and offered a minimal discount after the fact. Now we have holes in all of our trees and were still expected to pay nearly full price when this was our primary concern brought up from the beginning. read more

This company, and the group of well-trained men who came out and worked on two homes - ours and our neighbor's - were beyond professional and experienced. They were kind, neat, and did exactly what was discussed prior to their arrival. The prices were competitive and we will absolutely use them again and recommend them any chance we get. Thank you, LC Tree Service! read more

Had some tree damage and just years of growth that we needed cleaned up. Reached out to LC Tree Service. They called quickly after a request email was sent and an appointment for quote was set. They came out on my schedule, Ryan was prompt, very professional and very knowledgeable. While circumstances ended up not using them this time, I will absolutely keep their card for future needs. I really appreciated his quote was both very thorough and detailed including pictures of everything we discussed so I knew there was no miscommunications. read more

LC Tree Service has been servicing my rental and home properties for years which has included complete removal, tree trimming and thinning, as well as treatment for funguses from time to time. Their arborists are VERY knowledgeable and their crew does an outstanding job each and every time. Their administrative staff are super nice too! read more

I called LC Tree Service for a consultation with an arborist on my olive trees that were showing signs of distress (brown tips on leaves). Luke came out and did so much more that diagnose my tree issue (overwatering). He walked with me through my yard to discuss other issues, reviewed and made recommendations about the irrigation, and provided education on why issues occur and what I can do. He was friendly professional and soooo knowledgable. I will recommend LC to anyone who needs consultation and tree services! read more

Luke did a great job of explaining the various issues going on with the trees and plants in my yard (mostly all due to overwatering) and even advised which products I could use on my own to remedy the issues. He also later provided me with written quotes to have them complete the work, which all seem high based on the initial quotes he guesstimated verbally while in my yard. Haven't decided yet how much of the work I am going to have them complete, but I am appreciative of the wealth of information he provided me with while he was in my yard. read more

The trees in our front and back yards were long overdue for trimming. We reached out to LC Tree Service because we knew we wanted certified arborists for our job and we couldn't be happier with their work! Luke was able to come out and look at our property within a couple of days - he was prompt, friendly and super knowledgeable. He went over different options with us and got a quote over that same day. The crew that completed the job was also friendly and cleaned up everything perfectly once their work was done. We'll definitely be using LC Tree Service for our regular tree maintenance now and would absolutely recommend them. read more

Very professional company. Their head arborist Larry is very knowledgeable about tree health, tree trimming and tree safety. The workers were accurate, thorough and they cleaned up after themselves. Also they were very safety conscious and had proper PPE equipment to perform their job safely. Their task was to remove a very large branch from our tree that had fallen on to the roof of our house. They also performed a crown reduction to extend the life and safety of the tree. I would highly recommend LC Tree for your tree trimming or tree removal needs. read more

LC does a terrific job. They are very knowledgeable in trees and plants and are able to give expert advice. The workmanship done in removing a dead tree (and previous work they did for me pruning/shaping) is top quality. Very professional, very clean, and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them. read more

I highly recommend LC Tree Service, especially Luke Norvell, their arborist. Luke is honest, trustworthy, and extremely helpful. We redid the landscaping in our front yard which included new trees. The new trees weren't looking good, especially with unseasonal hot, humid weather. We called LC Tree Service and Luke Norvell, their arborist, came out the same week. Luke is extremely knowledgable about tree management and gave me practical advise to ensure the new trees can thrive. He also diagnosed a problem with our 50 year old Ambar and recommended a cost efficient treatment. It was easy to review and approve quotes before work started. Upon quote approval, scheduling was very easy. Work was done efficiently and with great respect to our property and trees. I was so happy with our experience, that I have hired Luke to diagnose and treat other plants on our property. I will be sure to hire LC Tree Services for future work and tree management! read more

Pleasant, well trained, diligent team of workers. Made sure my yard was prepped for debris. They answered all my questions and concerns during their work. And they left the property without residue and a lot of light coming through the beautifully laced branches. I was giddy with pleasure. read more

I have two citrus trees that were transplanted by landscapers and doing terribly after the transplant. I called LC Tree service to see if they could help in any way. Luke got back to me right away and we had a lengthy text chat with pictures and recommendations on his part. I appreciated his quick response and willingness to offer remote advice at no charge. I will be trying some recommendations and hopefully will be able to save my trees! read more

Luke has now been a hero at my home in Carlsbad (saved a Date Palm) and the ranch where he saved my grove of Coastal Oaks from a nasty boring beetle. He educated me as well on keeping my trees happy and healthy from now on and how I might help keep the killing beetles at bay. I have used many arborist over the years for several properties but I willl never use anyone but Luke after this! read more

Arborist consultation with Luke Norvell. Luke was incredibly resourceful, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his work. He provided meticulous details and care instructions for every plant at our new home. I greatly appreciate being provided the knowledge to make the best decision for our home instead of just being sent a list of services. I really feel like I have a relationship with my own arborist and I look forward to working with Luke in the future as I do some work on my own and hire LC Trees to come out and do some things I need professional help with. They've earned me as a long term customer. read more

LC Tree service was professional, on time, reliable, easy to reach by phone, and fairly priced for the job. First, they sent out a qualified Arborist who took a lot of time to explain the problem to us. They did this as No Charge to me, which I found refreshing. Next, they itemized the cost to remove two small trees, flowers, grind stump, etc. They appraised the job in segments, so we could do any or part of the job to save money, if we desired. Finally, they came on time, communicated well and completed our job. They cleaned up, and left the site in great condition. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, and would highly recommend them!

Luke with LC Tree Service is extremely professional, reliable, hardworking, honest and knowledgeable. I've worked with Luke on a few projects to remove invasive wild tobacco (nicotiana glauca) in our canyon, trim/fertilize multiple king palm trees and clear canyon brush. Luke takes the time to explain exactly what will be done and answers all questions. Every job they've done was done correctly and within the promised timeframe. The crew was very polite, professional and they cleaned up before they left. Highly recommend. read more

We had a fungus growing from the root of one of our trees. A few days after calling into LC Tree Service Luke came out to assist in treating the fungus. Luke was very patient in walking through the issue we were having and was very informative on the different ways to treat the affected area. We decided to treat the fungus with their fungicide in a couple of different spots and will follow his advice on drying out the area to remove all the moisture allowing the fungus to continue to grow. Very happy with the experience and the service, thank you LC Tree Service and Luke! read more

We have had nothing but excellent results with LC over quite a few years. We had some huge Eucalyptus trees removed, as well as trimming with Jacarandas and more. The guy who gives the quotes, Luke, is super-knowledgeable and the crew has always been gentlemen and very efficient and clean. We will use them again in the future. read more

Cut back and trimmed 30' paloverde tree. Quick response to call-for-service/estimate. Competitive and fair estimate. Work performed when promised, and well done. Concerned about tree's appearance and overall well-being. Trimmers worked steady and hard, and listened to client's suggestions. Will use for future tree work. Will recommend to others, read more

I highly recommend LC Tree Service! I had a tree that had to be trimmed and another tree that had to be removed in a certain amount of time. Ryan came over the next day to give me a great quote and when they performed the service, they had 5 guys to do the job, effective and timely. Everything was professional and when the tree to be removed was stuck in the fence and they couldn't remove it, they told me after that they would after I trimmed the fence. I worked with Ryan and Larry and they did an excellent job as they said they would! Don't hesitate to call them for tree service as I will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Great. Very very very informative. Loves trees. Knows trees. Decent price, not the very cheapest, but will take special care for the tree . Will work with LC when time is right to trim my particular tree. I went thru a dozen interviews, he was the last. Thankfully I found a decent guy. I did not plan to go thru a dozen people, however, people in this biz can be inept or not honest, leaving you wondering from one person to the next, which plan of action to take. Do your self a favor and include LC in your fist 3 interviews and you wont have to go thru the same predicament. 1. I have a specific tree located in a spot that can affect neighbors. 2. People came in with all kinds of stories and scams even, scare tactics to charge more and frighten people into ruining their long term investment (tree) for their short term gain. They hack your tree, you live with it. And it can be of consequence as well Do Not use: Bob, Homestead wanted to charge double hack the tree up, disfigure and put the tree at a deterimental disadvantage, would have fallen and died after his service, contrary to his statement that he is supposed it did not fall in the wind. It is a beautiful and grand tree, my favorite, and it is extremely happy, Healthy and strong. Bob Used harsh scare tactics saying the tree could fall over at any time, just not nice. This took a week out of my time to talk to more people, actual experts in just that area. More stories of people who hack trees and don't really know what they are doing, or try to scam you into paying double or triple for what is best for the tree. Conclusion our tree is super awesome and healthy, no trimming needed till next year. See LC then. LC knows his stuff. Loves his work. You won't be dissappointed. I always like to work with someone who really loves what they do. Best results. read more

We had our trees and a couple tall hedges trimmed by LC Tree Service and were very happy with the process and results. Expectations were clear, pricing was fair. The crew was very pleasant and respectful, and the quality of job and cleanup were great. We definitely will use them again! read more

save a tree.... HUG A TREE.... I called LC Tree....Tree huggers unite...or tree trimmers unite... LC Tree Service was the most honest and trustworthy tree service I had come out for quotes for numerous trimmings and removals on my property. Simple, honest, upfront, stick to their word.... and THE CREW was really fun and nice. I had some huge palm trees cut down and removed, a gigantic Pine Tree trimmed way back, some old fruit trees cut down and lots of 20 foot shrubs cut down and removed. The pricing was legitimate and highly competitive to other tree trimmers. A lot of other companies would not come out to Alpine, and the one's located in the East county (not ALL, but most) were a little shady... (did you see what I did there?)"trees provide shade" bwahahahaha So we went with our gut... and hired LC Tree... They also offer up the wood chips for ground cover if you would like as well. Legit company read more

LC tree service did a tree removal for me. I had the pleasure of working with Larry and his team. They removed a giant Ficus tree in my back yard that had just gotten too big for the space. I now have lots of sunshine in my back yard. They were on time and worked efficiently to take out my tree, The tree was taken out in about 10 hours, they cleaned up and left the place in good shape. Unfortunately, after the service was finished, I discovered a dent in my roof. Not very big but a dent none the less, I call LC tree service and explanined the problem. I was immediately contacted by Larry the owner, He told me he would be right over. He observed the damage and verified it. Took responsibility for it and offered to pay for repair. A breath of fresh air. I have been updating my home and have been working with a lot of different companies. Results have not always been good. So when you fine someone and honest and dependable, you want to shout it from the roof tops. read more

The LC Tree Service crew were amazing! They were polite, friendly, clean, professional and personable. They arrived on time, finished the job in no time at all, and did an outstanding job. The crew was a pleasure to have in my yard, I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to my friends and family! read more

I am a repeat customer of LC Tree Service. I have used them successfully and happily in the past. I called them for a tree removal and set an appointment. I waited for the whole window, and nobody came, nobody called, nobody texted. When I called after then end of the window, the customer service person was dismissive, basically saying there was nothing they could do, but they would try to leave a message with the scheduling people who would leave a message with the technician... In the end, after waiting another half an hour, nothing. I won't use LC again. This is not isolated, I referred a coworker to LC. The coworker called LC last week, were promised a call back, and never got one. Too bad, this used to be a good company. read more

LC Tree Service was one of three companies I received quotes from. They got our business because of the following reasons. 1: The person who came out to bid the job Luke is a certified arborist. 2: Luke explained exactly what and how they would approach the tree trimming we desired to ensure the best health of the tree and accomplish our goals. 3: I researched them online and found out that the owner is also a certified arborist and has many years experience. 4: Larry the owner himself arrived on site to inspect the work being done and checking in with me. Nice touch! None of the other two companies explained what or how they would approach the work. They simply provided a dollar quote. Simply put I just had a good feeling about the work they would perform, and I was right. A three man crew arrived on time and in three hours the job was complete. They worked efficiently and totally cleaned up the area after they where done. read more
