This guy spends ALL his time putting unsolicited plastic business cards....rubber banded on my front fence......instead of actually getting any work done. The plastic business cards DO NOT disintegrate. They fall and gets blown all across my yard.....embedding themselves into just about every crevice, rock, fence post, gutter, and tree root. The rubber bands disintegrates and leaves a sticky smear on my fence. I WOULD NEVER HIRE THIS LOVELY IDIOT!!! read more

Guy came out and gave me an estimate and then never showed to do the job. Also he said no credit cards and it says on here that they do take credit. I can't comment on their tree service because I was stood up. Don't leave your cards all over the place if you don't want to follow up. read more

For years these people come to our neighborhood and leave their advertisements cards on gates and fences. We have to pick these cards up off the sidewalk and gutters and our yards when they blow off . Nobody asked for or wants these therefore making them unwanted and therefore litter. I called the number on the card to explain our view and was hung up on and blocked. Please stop coming to our neighborhood throwing down your trash . There's no good reason the community should have to facilitate your advertising campaign . How would you like it if I throw my trash in front of your place. Don't be so selfish . read more

In my opinion, this company is shady with no customer service. Our HOA has a gardener who lists this company on his receipt, but they claimed they have nothing to do with him and hung up the phone when I was simply inquiring about the gardener. If they are affiliated with the gardener, then I believe they are totally negligent in sending out someone unqualified to test our trees to ensure they are healthy. I say this because one of the trees on the property fell on our car for no reason. If it was healthy, as the gardener (not an arborist) had stated, then there is no reason it should have fallen. I don't trust this company. UPDATE: In their response, the company says I am blaming them for mother nature. Mother nature wasn't involved. They sat they never inspected the tree but simply removed it. The same company who removed it is on the invoice of inspecting it!! They are the same company! How rude and deceitful. UPDATE #2: I forgot to mention, the people who cleared the tree told me it was dead and covered with fungus. Then, after speaking to either the HOA or the insurance company, they changed their story and said "they said it was the wind." Who is "they"? And why are you changing your story? SHADY. read more

I called to get an estimate on a tree trimming and they sent someone within a few hours. The estimate was very reasonable and they came out the next morning to do the job. The workers were early and got the job done quickly, efficiently and cleaned up beautifully and hauled away the refuse. I highly recommend this company! read more

This company plasterer solicitations all over our neighborhood and on peoples front doors. We have a no solicitation policy. When I called to inform them they were very rude and hung up. There are lots of good tree companies locally, I would never use this company. read more

Martin Gutierrez (owner) and his MGA team of Ruben, Roberto, Nacho and Miguel came through again for our diverse landscaping needs. We have used MGA Tree Service five times since 2017 and they always exceed our expectations. From trimming our huge Canary Island pine tree to our big pepper and ficus trees to hedges and general cleanup, the MGA team is always very friendly, professional, thorough and efficient. We highly recommend MGA for all of your extensive landscaping needs. read more

See all

I worked with Martin to have a large hill cleared of brush, several trees trimmed, sprinklers repaired, clearing of shrubs and installation of a large area of grass, and planting of various plants around the property. Martin was true to his word, fast to respond, and helpful above and beyond. His team completed the work on time and clearly cared about what they were doing. I highly recommend working with Martin! read more

They are still great after all these years! We've used them since 2015. Martin and his crew did another terrific job on our coral tree. They scheduled us quickly, were on time, cleaned up the area, and hauled everything away. Their pricing is fair and transparent. I'll call them again next time for sure! read more

This business has continued to solicit in my neighborhood 1 to 2 times a month despite everyone having a no soliciting signs on their property. Perhaps that's why they choose to typically do this very early in the morning each time so no one can tell them to stop. I finally had enough. I called the number listed 310 784 0886 and asked what needed to be done so that they would stop and before I could even finish my first sentence he hung up on me. So I called again, went straight to voice-mail but then that wasn't interuppted as well as he hung up on me again. So unbelievably rude and unprofessional. read more

They did an outstanding job of removing Ivy from my block wall fence. Also added wood trim to my hillside staircase and removed chainlink fence too! Would definitely recommend them and will continue to use them for outside yard projects! read more

I called this company to get an estimate on removing a tree. It took awhile for someone to answer the phone. Finally a lady answered. Sounded like she was doing dishes. She answered gruffly. I told her what I wanted and rudely she says we don't do that. I had enough of her and hung up. Why can't people be nice. Especially when they answer a company phone. read more

They came out and looked at a small fica tree that needed shaping. We agreed on their bid, and I was told they would call with the appointment time. Two weeks passed without a call. I contacted them last Friday, and a woman put me on hold to contact somebody. She came back on and said Monday between 8 and 9am. Nobody showed up, and now it's Wed. I've called 8 times, and all calls go to voicemail. Don't waste your time. read more

I would think twice before considering this company for any type of work. I found this company by way of flyer on my doorstep. I contacted the company to have 2 palm trees trimmed on my property. An appointment was set for an estimate and all was well. We agreed on a price and a date was set for the work to be performed (4 days later). I never heard from them so I assumed the work was done. I went to my rental 5 days after the work was scheduled and the trees hadn't been touched. I contacted someone from the company who stated he would look into it and get back to me. After that conversation I waited 2 days before I called back. My calls have gone unanswered and my messages have not been returned. This company is very unprofessional and unreliable. Do yourself a favor and take you hard earned to a company that that can be relied upon. read more

they did a great job I was most impressed with how clean and tidy they were. I wasn't sure about how much something like this cost but when I looked at how much work it was and how much they cleared away their price was very fair! they were very nice hard-working and respectful of my property. I will keep their number and I will use them again. thank you MGA tree service read more

Always on time. Hard workers. Did exactly the work I needed, while others wanted to make the job much more complicated and much more expensive. I give them my highest recommendation. read more

awesome work i had called for an estimate and the lady on phone was polite I requested a tree removal and they came two days later and had it done in one day read more

I called them up, they gave me a quote right away which was very reasonable and within my budget. Everywhere else I called said they could not trim my chinese elm tree till next week. These people know how to run a business with giving great customer service! I appreciate a business that recognizes the importance of taking care of the customer with speed so kudos goes to MGA tree service! 4/25/17: update the guys just finished trimming the tree and it looks beautiful. I told him exactly how we wanted it and he did a great job. When I talked to him, he said he's been trimming trees now for 16 years. Thank you MGA tree service! read more

Had Manny and MGA Tree Service back for a second year. They had done some major tree work for us last year and helped save an Ash in distress with good trimming and instructions for feeding and watering. Another good job this year. They know trees, listened to what we wanted, and did a professional job including full cleanup. read more

Manny and Jose and the whole team are fantastic. Their knowledge of trees is really deep and their ability to diagnose and fix issues is awesome. We "inherited" a working relationship with MGA from my parents who worked with Manny for more than twenty years. No job is too big or too small, they can handle it and do it well. Their estimates are spot on, their prices reasonable, and they usually respond within one hour (and when trees have fallen on our property we have needed a fast reply!). The guys are friendly, professional and totally reliable. Most of all, they know trees and how to take care of them. We could not recommend them higher. read more

We have been working with Manny for over 20 years - he is knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and a pleasure to work with - he is always quick in not only setting up service, but getting the job done - he follows up afterwards to ensure we are happy with results and I would recommend him hands down - read more

Our experience was not as good as other reviews indicate. Wanted a tree shaped and thinned, but not bare. Explained, and believed understood. When we looked, it was not being done the way we had explained. We've had it done before, so we knew what should be happening. Had the guy with the chainsaw get out of the tree while the other called the owner who said he would call later to come and look. Haven't heard from him. They were quick to give us an estimate, the wait for service was minimal, and the clean up of what had already been done was good. That is the only reason I am giving any stars. read more

Asked for an estimate. Showed up in an hr. Gave good price. The very next day, they showed up in a clean and professional truck and wood chipper. Martin and his crew were punctual and professional. They helped me move a water polo goal out of the way and when done, they put the goal back, without even having to ask! Would DEFINITELY hire them again! Tree looks fantastic. Yard was cleaned up so you couldn't even tell they were there. John. R. RHE read more

We had two neglected olive trees trimmed by MGA Tree Service. They were prompt, effecient and polite. Raul and his crew did an absolutely beautiful job! We couldn't be happier! read more

Had MGA return again and they showed up and showed off! Did a great job trimming large trees, overgrown pepper trees, oleander and the like. Professional, swift, fair-priced, insured and easy to work with. Trucks are clean, employees are dressed in corporate shirts, and they were friendly. I'll call them again in a few years to cut it back again. Thanks! read more

OK! So we had a number of tree services in the past and they were expensive and often messy, broke plants etcetera. We have now used MGA twice and they are the nicest, fairly priced professionals. They left my yard today extremely clean, no broken plants and our trees look fantastic. They were careful not to drag the cut branches against my house so as to leave marks. My dad and I used to do landscaping for over 20 years and I have to give MGA the highest marks. Highly professional, fairly priced and work quickly. They are the best. read more

Contracted with Martine (owner) to cut down a large tree and trim a medium tree. Martine sent two workers to do the job and they spent most of their time on the larger tree, climbing and cutting it down and then using the wood chipper. They cleaned up after the larger tree but they left the medium-sized tree untouched till the very end and never completed it. They left the medium tree with some branches partially cut and still hanging from the tree, some branches were just left strewn on the ground below the tree. I called Martine and he said he'd come the next day or on Monday at the end of the day since he had another job scheduled -- needless to say, he never came. I called again a few days later, and he said he'd be back after finishing a big job that he's busy working on in an adjoining town. A couple weeks later, I called his cell again, but he let my calls go unanswered...I left voice messages along with photos of the condition in which his workers had left my medium tree. I still heard nothing from him. Finally, I decided to call the main office number, and spoke with his wife Rosa about Martine saying he'd come a couple of times and never did. Rosa spoke lamentingly, eliciting sympathy from me, that her husband just didn't have any available workers now. I asked when things might change and he'd have workers, and in a most remorseful tone, she said that she just didn't know. So, I gave them a few more weeks and called back to see if finally Martine had workers available. This time, his wife took a 180° personality and attitude change. Instead speaking remorsefully, she spoke defiantly. She claimed that her husband said I had "wanted" the tree this way. I told her that was just ridiculous, why would I or anyone, want a tree left unruly and unfinished with branches hanging from it? And to that, to my surprise, she responded by questioning me why then had I paid? I guess she doesn't realize that most of us pay for goods and services in advance expecting business to follow-through in an honest and ethical manner. Many of us who order online, are always paying for goods and services in advance. But as shown by Rosa's words, MGA's business ethics and practices are flagrantly unscrupulous -- she doesn't expect any customer to pay until a job is completed and satisfactorily done. She ridicules anyone who pays in advance for not knowing they'd be taken advantage of... read more

I am very particular about getting my tree trimmed as I have used other places in the past and they butchered it. These guys are real pros and made the tree looks beautiful. I highly recommend them and thank you for doing a great job! read more
