I spoke in-depth with Nick who also communicated with city on our behalf because this was a native tree which had to be taken into account. On the big day Nick's crew came out at time we booked and got started. I hope the guys didn't mind us watching because the break down of this tree was impressive to see! A huge branch hung over our neighbors yard and was swung and safely landed on our property. There were other challenges(in my opinion) that were navigated and by noon the tree was now a pole. The guys had lunch then right back at it and a few hours later tree gone and workers left things clean. We were sad to lose this tree but what a huge relief to have it safely removed! I highly recommend Nick's Tree service-fair pricing and excellent work done by all involved.

I've used Nick's Tree Trimming on and off for nearly 20 years and recommended them to several…read moreneighbors. I wanted this to stay a good relationship, which is why this review is hard to write. About a month ago, Nick gave me a quote for trimming my hedges and trees. Since then I've called at least six times and left three or four voicemails, including one saying plainly that it was important and asking him to call me back. Nothing. No call, no text, not even a "sorry, we can't fit you in." With El Niño storms on the way and my tall hedges at risk of breaking under wind and rain, being left hanging like this has real consequences. This isn't the first problem. On an earlier job, the crew broke several of my outdoor light fixtures. Nobody moved them out of the way beforehand, and when I raised it, the company wouldn't take responsibility, repair them, or credit me for them. The trimming work itself has been fine. But if you need a company that answers the phone, honors its quotes, and stands behind damage it causes, I'd look elsewhere. If you do hire them, move anything breakable out of the work area yourself and get every commitment in writing.

Sadly, my insurance company agreed to pay his bid so now I am left paying $6K out of my pocket. Just know that a contract means nothing with this company

My 70-80 year-old Eucalyptus citriodora (Lemon-scented gum) began leaning to the south many, many…read moreyears ago. A lovely, tall tree. We call her "The White Lady." There were a few weighty branches which became a bit of a worry, as they were hanging high above one corner of my home. When I finally decided to do something about these branches I had three main concerns: 1) I didn't want to pay more than I should have to pay to have the work done, 2) I wanted someone who knew how to safely get up into that giant tree and do the work and 3) I wanted only what was needed to be removed should be removed. I called several Yelp-recommended tree care companies. I have never liked Beaver Tree or Action Tree so those were out of the question. One company gave me a ridiculously high estimate, after I sent a photo of the tree. Not only did Ronnie Gosnell return my call in a timely manner, he came right out that day and took a look at the job. He endeared himself to me forever when his first words were, "You know that tree is never going to fall over onto your house, right?" It is always heartwarming to have one's convictions corroborated by an expert. Plus, then I knew I wasn't dealing with someone who wanted to "take" me, by trying to talk me into either removing the tree or trying to talk me into having too many branches removed. We discussed the shape of the tree and talked about taking off what was necessary to keep as much greenery as possible. A fair price was agreed upon; 1/2 what the one company had asked. The crew came out within a few days, the job was done efficiently and painlessly. At my request, the men loaded the wood chips onto a tarp in my yard, so that I could use my Lemon gum's chips as mulch. This made me very happy. If you want the job done right, if you want someone who really knows trees and you want someone who cares about trees, have Montecito Tree Care do the job. You'll be glad you did.

Ronnie gave us advice on various options, but also made a point of understanding our desires and needs. He respected our opinions on specific limbs we hoped to keep, and provided experienced advice as an arborist regarding how to preserve a healthy attractive canopy, with best future prospects for growing into a nice, natural shape. We were never concerned that limbs would be indiscriminately hacked off against our wishes. The crew were absolute magicians. They worked together quickly and efficiently. The tree was in an extremely awkward space behind the house, but they managed to rope everything out without a hint of damage, and cleaned up thoroughly.
