My experience with this company was not pleasant at all. Not only did Alfonso (the person providing the quote) try to raise the price on me and gaslight me into thinking the price was the same (fortunately I had screenshot of him offering the original price), but after he provided the quote he kept texting and asking if we made a decision. To me it came off as very unprofessional, not to mention annoying. Once I showed him the original price from his previous text, he agreed to honor the price. We'll that didn't last long. A day went by, and when I asked him if we could set a time to schedule the work, he said he couldn't do the work "for reasons that I can't explain." Talk about unprofessional. He completely wasted my time. It makes me wonder, does he only accept jobs when he successfully convinces customers to pay higher prices than he originally quoted? Does he lure them in with one price only to change the price when it's time to move forward, like a bait and switch operation? The only reason. I gave him an extra star was because I'm hoping that this was just one experience with one employee, and that the rest of the company doesn't operate this way. Either, this was a frustrating experience and a complete waste of time. read more

We are so happy with the work that Rainforest Tree Service provided today. The crew was efficient and professional with the removal of a large tree and the trimming of two others. Their price was comparable to others and Alfonso's knowledge and skill are took notch. They were fast and left you area even cleaner than the when they arrived. Will definitely use them again. read more

Alfonso and his team did an amazing job they took down 3 trees in the back and a huge tree in front! Ground stumps and cleaned everything up! Highly professional. The job took longer than anticipated with some complications but Alfonso graciously honored his estimated pricing. The whole team was good natured and hard working! Thank you. Highly recommend. 5 stars! read more

Alfonso was super professional and polite when I contacted his about palm tree trimming. He and his crew were able to come the next morning and complete the project in a timely manner and the job was done perfectly. They cleaned up after themselves and the price was what Alfonso quoted. read more

This is the best tree service yet!!!Alfonso listened well, shared his experitse, listened some more and won my full confidence. His crew was so careful, so creative, so quiet, so clean. Alfonso was fair with his price and so collaborative. They took ten feet off my trees in a very tight space with close neighbors. They were incredibly careful and precise and neat!! They even left a little special branch for a bird perch. I was just amazed and delighted at their finesse in such tight quarters. You must go with this tree service! read more

Totally would recommend. He came out to make sure to bid the job correctly. We decided to go with Alfonso due to competitive pricing and wanting to do the job correctly, which included grinding the stump out where others just wanted to pour gasoline on it. It was very important to me to hire someone that was licensed and had insurance which Rainforest does have. Alfonso was very skilled in how he cut our trees down. His crew was very respectful of me and my existing landscaping. They did an exceptional job at cleaning up the debris. read more

This company definitely deserves the 5 star plus. Upon a call for a quote got a quote back the within a couple of days via text. They set a start date within a day or two and the service 10 stars here. The crew wore their masks when meeting me and fully understood what I wanted and they hit it out of the park. The crew was truly a team one was the spotter and the other cutting in the tree took an truly unruly tree now into a handsome groomed large bonsai. Definitely found my tree groomer here in north San Diego. I would highly recommend them for any tree work. read more

I would highly recommend Rainforest Tree Service for your tree trimming needs. Alfonso came quickly to give me an estimate, and fit me into the schedule right away as my trees were significantly overgrown. They cleaned up everything thoroughly (including everything that fell outside the property line and fence), and Alfonso even called to check in regarding his crew's progress while they were still here to ensure everything was getting done per our discussion. I am very happy with the work, and my trees look so much better. Thank you Rainforest Tree Service! read more

Alfonso and crew were out again for annual trimming. This year, in addition to the usual trimming, they removed an aging apricot tree. As always, they were here on time and did an excellent job.

Thank you Alfonso and team -- so glad I found you guys here and look forward to working with you again when we need our trees laced/cleaned up (Y) read more

Over the years we have used several tree services. Most of the time we felt the service was priced too high or the service was not thorough enough. We discovered Rainforest just over a year ago. We have used their services. three times since then. The owner, Alfonso, is a "hands on " leader. He and his crew show up on time, and stay busy until the job is done. They do a thorough job of cleaning up and make sure we are satisfied before leaving. Alfonso prices his jobs reasonably, and is receptive to any requests. We will be using his services again and highly recommend him. read more

Can't say enough great things about these guys. I contacted Alfonso after giving up on another company to remove our FICA trees in the backyard. We lost count of the times we had to email/call to get the proposal from the first company. I found Alfonso as a referral, within an hour or two, he looked at the tree and emailed me back a competitive proposal and a date they could do the work. His team showed up early, and were so nice, knowledgable and professional. Really appreciated how thoroughly they cleaned up all of the areas adjacent to the project site. I am definitely using their service again! read more

WOW!!! Super impressed by Alfonso and his crew. I work in the construction industry and I'm super happy. I called him on a whim Monday and on Tuesday they were done!!! The estimate was great and he stayed with word. I wish there were more companies that have this high level of service!!! read more

All the five-star reviews are correct. We have only one tree to trim. Other services told us the job was too small. Rainforest treated us like a huge client, but charged an exceptionally reasonable price. Go nowhere else. read more

Alfonso was great. They showed up on time (early) and did an amazing job taking down a very dead pine tree that was right up against the fence line. They also took down two other trees on my property. I would highly recommend these guys. They cleaned up everything and provided me with the wood I wanted to keep, as well as putting up with me building a fence that I know was in their way. read more

Alfonso and his team have done several large and small jobs for us over the years and we always call them when we need tree/shrub work done. They have cleared out large amounts of shrub for firebreaks, thinned out our large eucalyptus tree, and performed annual trimming of our 100+ fruit tree grove on a steep slope. In all cases they did a great job, mulched the trimmings, and cleaned up the area before leaving. His guys are all great and know what they are doing, highly recommend Rainforest. read more

Alfonso from Rainforest Tree Service was recommended by a neighbor. He came and have us a realistic estimate for removing about 12 giant trees. He provided proof of licensure, insurance, etc. They came when they said they would, worked 2 solid days on sloping hillside and when they left everything was done as agreed. They also left the area clean which was extremely important as they had to use my neighbor's driveway to access the area. Great job, and I highly recommend this company. read more

Excellent experience with Rainforest Tree Service. I sent an email request for a quote and Alfonso responded immediately and came out the next day to give me a reasonable quote. They came out the following day and performed the work. Alfonso and his team did an excellent job and cleaned up after themselves. I would use his service again once I have a need. read more

This is the second time I used Rainforest after they impressed me with the first small job, I awarded them a larger job that they competitively bid. They showed up on time, reconfirmed the work to be done, then the three man crew went to work. They left the job clean and I am pleased with the results. read more

Very professional. Trimmed 2 tall palms & removed thick ivy. Arrived on time & cleaned up nicely when done. Gave me a fair quote by phone & stuck to it. Definitely recommend. read more

Great price and excellent service. Very quick response to give an estimate for palm tree removal. Also arrived early to remove the tree.

Alfonso and his team were great. He came out to my house and provided me an estimate to remove 3 large Italian Cypress trees that were next to my driveway, 1 large Yucca Tree that was in my front yard, and another stump that was in my side yard. He explained everything that was needed to remove the trees and grind the stumps and provided me a very reasonable estimate. They completed the job in 1 day and we are extremely happy with their work. Will definitely hire them in the future to trim a tree we have in the backyard read more

Extremely fast to respond with a quote. Was able to do the job almost right away. Did a great job, and did everything as agreed. Hauled everything away and promptly emailed me the invoice I requested. Couldn't ask for better service and we will definitely use Rainforest Tree Service again! read more

Alfonso and his team did a FANTASTIC job on my backyard! They cut all of my overgrown hibiscus trees and rose bushes down to half size per my request and also did a GREAT job with the cleanup and haul away after the job! When I initially emailed Alfonso about a quote he got right back to me with a fair and honest estimate and was there the whole way through from beginning to end. Can't say enough good things about this company. Would most definitively recommend for any tree or backyard projects you may need. Thanks again! read more

Rainforest did work for me last month.I was very happy with this company and said so in a review (5 stars) However I do not see my endorsement/review here.So... once again I will give my solid recommendation to Alfonso and his crew.They took out a huge ,hard to get to Ficus tree in my backyard,hauled it out to the street ,chipped it up and hauled it away in under 4 hours. I took 5 bids and they were right in the middle,not the lowest or highest, but they had done some work for us on another tree earlier last year and my wife was very happy with the way they cleaned up after themselves so the decision was actually easy. It's been over a month since the service was done and we're still very happy with their work.No broken sprinklers,no broken fence and Alfonso even skimmed the debris out of our pool. Good job !!!

They were here on time when they said they would be and cleaned up before they left. I was completely happy with my choice of Rainforest Tree Service. The owner, Alfonso, is kind and considerate. I will be calling them again for my Italian Cypress trees. read more

Wow! I casually mentioned a "landscaping" need to my "tree guy", and he said he, and his team could do it. What was it? Demolish and remove a huge concrete structure, take out grass and flag stones, till the entire area, rezone and redo the entire sprinkler system, and lay sod. He kept to budget and timeline. I could not be happier with the end result. Thank you Alfonso read more

Alfonso and his team at Rainforest Tree Service cleaned up 5 palm trees and removed another for us. He gave us a very competitive price and the team was friendly, fast and did a great job. I'd highly recommend reaching out to Alfonso for a quote if you are thinking about having your trees serviced. We will be using them again the next time we require additional work on our trees! Their service is fully licensed, bonded and insured; they do accept cards as well. read more

Update(10/14/17): After onsite evaluation by a different contractor, I was told that the stump is still there. I was able to reach Alfonso this time and he came to look at it. Alfonso's explanation: What I paid for was 'stump grinding' and not 'stump removal'. If I didn't want this happening, I should've gotten stump removal, which was more expensive. My dilemma: At the initial consultation, I made it clear that I didn't want the tree to sprout back everywhere, thus I chose stump removal, which was one of the two choices he offered that day. I'm not sure how I could have chosen this '3rd' option when it wasn't even explained/offered to me. It only took less than 2 months for the 'ground' stump to sprout back uncontrollably. When I reached out to him, I was told to use Round-Up (weed killer) and he didn't return to the site to investigate. Next 2 months, my husband applied Round-Up multiple times (it did nothing) and tried to dig out thick roots and what we now know as pieces from the tree stump. We spent a lot of time trying to fix it on our own and our yard looks terrible. I also have to hire a new contractor to fix it, which is an added expense. Resolution: Alfonso refunded a portion of my bill from June. While some companies walk away from a situation like this, his company didn't. While I still feel resentful with how the situation was handled, this gives us a closure to our stressful 2 months and we are now moving on. I'm also changing my one star review on 10/7/17 to 3 stars because the company deserves it for not walking away. My post on 10/7/17 Sadly, I have to post an update...a negative one. Shortly after Alfonso removed a tree from our backyard, the roots started popping out everywhere, totally ruining our newly installed landscape. At the initial consultation, he gave me two options; removal including the stamp (more expensive) OR leaving the stamp (less expensive). I chose 'with stamp' option because I was concerned leaving the stamp will cause the tree to sprout again and he agreed. After the tree started sprouting everywhere, I asked him to come take a look, hoping that he'd provide a resolution or at least give us some advice/suggestions but he stopped responding to my text after saying 'you can use round-up'. We went and got Round-Up, applied it 3 or 4 times but it is not helping. I didn't think he would stop responding like this. I still like the fact that he speaks English and rates are good (I think) but I also want to make sure that I share correct information here because I know people use these reviews as resources and guidelines when choosing businesses. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Rain Forest Tree Service. I was in need of 2 Queen Ann palm trees to be cleaned up and since they both have outgrown my pruning saw, I was looking for a local company (insured, bonded and licensed) that could do it for me. Luckily, my wife saw Rain Forest doing another job in the neighborhood and after checking on the stellar reviews on yelp I called them up. Alfonso answered the phone right away and said that he would be by a little later in the day to provide a bid. Once he arrived, he gave me a very reasonable price and said that they would be able to do it today if I would like. So, I took him up on his offer and his team showed up after they were finished with the neighboring yard. Within one-hours' time, both palms were all cleaned up, debris and frons mulched up and area as clean as they found it (maybe even better). What else could a homeowner ask for. I will definitely recommend Alfonso and his team to anyone looking for tree work in my area as well as will look to Rain Forest in the future for my arborist needs. read more
