Greg is a scammer and incredibly rude, DO NOT HIRE HIM!! He quoted me a rate for a 90 minute job then billed me for two hours because "he brought more guys than planned". That's a bad business decision, not my problem. He was also supposed to start work at 10am but called the day before to say, "I'll be there at 7am" my response was that we agreed on 10am and he simply said, "yep" When I disputed the overcharge he asked that I never call him for work again (not that I would) but what a ridiculous way to conduct yourself. There are plenty of tree trimming services available, find yourself a respectable one. read more

Everything went well; they are professionals. The price was good, the work was done as we discussed, and after they left, everything was cleaned up. The area looked better than before they arrived. I highly recommend them. read more

THE BEST! I am very picky when it comes to my numerous trees being trimmed, and Greg and his team were awesome! He came to give me a quote and I was very detailed in what I wanted done. His quote was fair and reasonable. (I did get quotes from two other companies that were more expensive) they showed up to do the job on time, trimmed and shaped the trees naturally (I didn't want them looking like toothpicks!) and didn't leave behind a twig when they left. I have had a few different companies over the years take care of my trees, and Greg Williams Tree Service was by far the best. read more

Very professional and super conscious of our hedges as to not damage them. They cleaned up and did a great job!

Once again, I used Willliams Tree Service for a yard cleanup that I wanted to get accomplished before the 4th of July. I called with less than a weeks notice and they were about to schedule me. Excellent service as always. The crew should up on time and all the jobs were accomplished within a few hours instead of the several days it would have taken me. Anthony was the foreman on the job and he provided updates and we reviewed each portion of the job to make sure I was satisfied. Communication about what was to be done was clear his crew got right to work. I was more than satisfied every time. The entire process was extremely professional, friendly and easy going. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know. read more

They are completely easy to deal with, from the estimate to the scheduling to the actual work. I would highly recommend Williams Tree Service for your tree trimming needs. read more

I called when they were super busy, so they weren't able to come out until a few weeks later. I had used them before so didn't mind waiting, since I knew that they would do a good job and their estimate was reasonable. The guys that come do the work are great also. They cleaned up pretty well and kept good communication with me if they had any questions/concerns. Definitely recommend them. read more

Used Williams Tree Service to cut back three large trees on my property. I had seen their crews working in the Whittier Area many times. The owner, Greg Williams, came out to the property, met with me and gave me a very reasonable written quote for the job. At the time, his crews were booked a few weeks in advanced, but I decided to wait. Greg called me himself and we scheduled the work for the next day. A team of 6 workers showed up at the specified date and time, ready to work. After three hours of work, my trees were trimmed beautifully. All of the tree limbs and leaves were mulched in their chipper and taken away in their service truck. The workers did a great job of cleaning up all of the debris. The property was super clean when they finished. The Williams Tree Service guys worked very hard the entire time they were there. They were all courteous and professional, especially the crew foreman. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Greg and his workers if you ever need your trees trimmed. I am so happy that I used their services and will definitely use them again. read more

I am exceptionally impressed with this service. The owner reassured me that my avocado trees will survive with care and water. He suggested I get it trimmed. Tim, his son came by early and he was polite and respectful and considerate of my concerns. The tree looked fantastic and the professionalism was superb. I will never use another tree service period! read more

Listen, a bunch of guys including Williams' offspring Jr. came out to my house early and machete'd their way through an annoying date palm along with other dumb trees that came with the property that I just bought. Why did they have to do this by hand you ask? Well, there was no way for them to get their fancy lumberjack machinery to the yard since I have an enclosed patio. No access? No problem! They used ladders to climb the fence and hack their way through the mini forest I had going on. It took them a total of 4 hours to clear out my whole yard and cleaned up the neighbor's yard of any debris that may have been a result of my trees being cleared. It was a pricey job but very reasonable based on industry standards. I will recommend them to anyone who needs their bushes cleared. read more

I don't know how there work is but I do know that there drivers don't care when pulling out of the fast food joints. Had to slam on my brakes in my truck while pulling my full trailer. Then when you honk at them they just smile and honk back. If the drivers act like this then I'm guessing the rest of the company may be the same. Especially if they employ guys like that. Hope the owners talk to the driver in Whittier this morning at 9:15. read more

Williams Tree Services - Tree Services Near Me

Williams Tree Service was hired by the Cross Roads Shopping Center Management. The job was massive because it involved complete trimming of 13 way-overgrown huge 5-stories tall pine trees behind the northern wall bordering our HOA's 70 unit complex. For the past 4 or 5 years, every time there was a Santa Ana wind episode, 19 or 25 industrial-sized black bags of dry brown long pine needles had to be cleared from my small back patio and single story roof. The Williams Tree Service contractor employed the best arborvitae knowledgeable, perfect, professional, most considerate, workers that I could have ever imagined. They weren't contracted by our HOA, but Williams Tree Service cleaned up a gigantic mess. They even made special effort to clear out the needles that unavoidably dropped into our side of the wall. I watched from my patio and witnessed specially skilled workers paying attention to details, while perched in the manned basket on top of a huge mechanical arm that resembled something used to assemble the Space Station. I spoke to a gentleman named "Timothy" to express my appreciation for the Williams Tree Service workers because at 86 years of age, I realized the deluge of risky dry needles wouldn't be landing on my roof in the time when fires have been devastating a tremendous area of California land, spreading to wipe out homes and destroying businesses. The present Cross Roads Shopping Center Management should be commended for hiring Williams Tree Service to do a much needed job on behalf of the whole community! read more

While I did not use them I would definitely never call them based on their rude driver on the road. If anyone can not be decent to other drivers I surely would not want them on my property. The owner seemed to a very cavalier attitude as well. The owner sets the tone. read more

Completely satisfied with their work! They come highly recommended and not to mention they help out tremendously with the community. The owner was very knowledgeable and helpful. I will continue to use them going forward. read more

Trees look great, crew was very professional and did a great clean up job. Price was good

Long story short, So my grandfather found them on an ad that was sent to his house and we call to get a quote and the man said they usually go to where the customers tells them but they can't do our area and to find someone else. Sounded lazy to me. It was the most awkward conversation I've had with a company who has been around a "long time" read more

Williams Tree Service is the BEST! Even though they are very busy, Greg heard the desperation in my voice when I called to tell him that our neighbor behind us took it upon himself to hack our beautiful trees! Greg and his team were out the next day to help fix the destruction our neighbor caused and to console my heartbreak of losing our 9 year old trees! The team was able to trim them up and we hope they will grow back even bigger and more beautiful! Thank you Williams Tree Service for being here for me! read more

This company works fast. Too fast for nesting birds to get out of the way. They are also very efficient in taking leaf blowers onto rooftops to clean up after the trees they remove. This, of course, will blow debris into neighboring yards. Unfortunately, because of water restrictions imposed by the drought, homeowners are not allowed to hose off driveways or wash their cars on non-watering days to clean up. My tip to people who hire companies like this: Have the courtesy to give your neighbors a heads-up. This will give your neighbors time to move their cars out of the way -- which is better than one can say for the birds! In California, non-emergency tree removal is possible year-around thanks to the mild weather we enjoy most of the year here. That being said, destruction of nesting sites are a violation of the federal Migratory Bird Act, among other laws aimed at protecting wildlife during breeding season. For this reason, landscaping and tree-trimming companies must do due diligence at this time of year before they trim or remove trees. While few companies make an overt effort to educate their customers, that doesn't mean it is permissible to fell trees without first inspecting them for nesting birds. If you are planning to contact this or another company like it, please ask questions and/or make an effort to obtain advice from the right authorities. Doing so can help verify whether birds are actively nesting on your property during the Spring and Summer months. If this sounds like too much trouble, there is a simpler solution: Opt for non-emergency tree removal at a time of year that will not potentially run afoul of the law. California Department of Fish and Wildlife: (888) 334-2258 For nesting surveys: (858) 467-4201 For those who do not give a hoot about birds, there are other considerations. For one, some species of tree do not thrive when pruned during inclement conditions, while other species may contract diseases spread by cutting tools at some times of year more so than others. Given that the Southern California climate is more than adequate for this type of outdoor work year-around, why schedule such work at the height of the summer rush, at which time workers are likely to bake beneath a 100-degree sun -- or, conversely, wake your neighbors at some ungodly early hour on a weekend in attempt to avoid the daytime heat -- when the work could be scheduled at a more accommodating time of year? Finally, many people are surprised to find that after a large tree is removed their yards become significantly hotter -- a factor for the safety of outdoor pets and children -- and their homes more costly to cool. Keeping a lawn and other plants alive, if they are accustomed to the shade provided by a mature tree, will also require more liberal use of water (effort!) post tree removal. So even if you don't care much for birds, electing during the heat of summer to remove or heavily cut back a mature tree is rarely ideal timing -- for a whole host of reasons. read more

A crew of 6 men came out to remove two fruit trees including stumps as well as trim some badly overgrown magnolias on the front curb. They were fast, thorough and friendly. The total cost was reasonable and they completely cleaned up the work site and hauled away all debris. I felt the crew was honorable and would recommend them to others. read more

A few months ago my Mother had my Dumb Neighbors recommend Williams Tree Service to come and cut our tree in our front yard. The company arrived and the owner never came up to the door to introduce himself to me because at the time they arrived my Mother was not at home. He looked at my tree and said, "looks like over growth to me." The crew who brought four of their trucks with them started to cut down my tree. I had no idea that there was on of their workers in my tree with another worker was in a basket on the other side of my tree. I went out to see what was going on and I noticed that they put up ladders to protect my windows of my house and nothing else. My plants in my front yard were all broken and I asked the owner if my plants had to be the ones to suffer. He looked at me and did nothing at first and then walked over to where my rose bushes were and said this. He moved the tree limbs off my rose bush, but the damage had already been done. He told me that they would cut any of the broken parts on my plants. I was VERY UPSET AT THE DISREGADE THAT WAS TAKEN BY THIS COMPANY!!!!!! Not one of the tree limbs was removed until the tree was cut back to where they wanted it. By then all of my plants had DAMAGE DONE TO THEM! When the cutting was done and they had removed the tree limbs they went to to my roof and used a blower to blow the tree parts on to the other side of my roof. While they were doing this they loosened three pieces of my roof which I found later on my front yard as I WAS CLEANING UP THE HUGE MESS THEY LEFT!!!!! The aftermath of the tree trimming was horrific!!!!! I had to clean up all around my house, the sides by my house and the back yard. They left a mess on the top where my tree was that they had cut back. I had tree limbs everywhere in my front yard that I was sitting finding hidden in my plants three days later. I had to clean up my gutter as well!!! THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS ONE THAT I WILL NEVER SOON FORGET!!!!!! I even was nice enough to give all of the workers water that I had, I should have never had been that nice!!!!!! AS FAR AS I AM CONCERN I WILL NEVER HAVE MY MOTHER LISTEN TO MY DUMB NEIGHBOR EVER AGAIN!!!!!! I WILL DEFINITELY NEVER,NEVER, NEVER EVER BE USING WILLIAMS TREE SERVICE TO TOUCH ANOTHER TREE ON MY PROPERTY!!!!! Oh, I almost forgot, not only did they damage all of my plants they even trampled though the plants as well. They left their shoe prints on my plants as well. I had to cut those plants back, if I was able to save them or I had to take them out completely. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERN MY MOTHER SHOULD GET EVER DIME OF HER MONEY BACK FOR THE HORRIFIC JOB THIS HORRIFIC COMPANY DID!!!!! I AM NAVE RECOMMENDING THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE EVER!!!!!! THEY ARE BY FAR TH WORST TRE COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!!!! read more

I would recommend Williams Tree Service to anyone that needs these type of services. We had a large tree in our back yard that was unrevivable. in our current drought . We hated to see it go but Williams Tree Service , specifically Don ,assured us that he would be able to do the job it a timely manner. The very next day he sent 4 men and it went off without a hitch. They did the job quickly and concisely and cleaned up all the debris that was left on the hill at a very fair price. We were sad to see our old tree go but grateful it would not fall and injure anyone that might have been nearby. Thank you Don and Williams Tree Service! read more

These people came out and trimmed my Nieghbor's tree and in the process they damaged my newly planted fig tree I talked to the supervisor he told me that he place a call to the office and has not got a call back yet they left the property and did not give me any information about what they are going to do about my damaged tree I called the owner which has not seen my tree and he told me to just bend it back straight and it will be fine and that they are not going to do anything about it I just filed a claim against their bond and called my homeowners insurance company they will handle it and my nice neighbor called them and they told him that they are not going to do anything about it he also offers to pay me for a new tree but I could not take his money it is not about money when you screw something up you should take care of it apparently these people don't care don't use them. read more

Wow! These guys did an amazing job. Greg Williams came out and gave me an on-the-spot quote, walking me through what each tree/bush/stump would cost. His prices were extremely reasonable and bids was on the lower end of what I received. His crew was prompt, friendly and efficient. They made sure to protect my roof and windows from damage during the trimming process and cleaned up each day when they were done. Our yard looks so much better thanks to their hard-working team, and would definitely use them again in the future. read more

We were told someone would be out at 7am. By 7:40 no one has called or showed up so we left for work assuming they weren't coming after all. Apparently, they cut the trees anyways and because we weren't there when they got there they just cut it waaaay shorter then we wanted. We didn't bring he dog inside because we didn't think they would show up and yet they went into the backyard with the dog anyways risking him running away or biting them. We didn't unlock the only working gate we have and instead our non working gate appears to be broken even more. It's important to keep communication open when working on someone's property and they failed to do that. I did not like coming home to my tree completely bare and my gate broken. Thank God the dog was there and okay. I'm extremely disappointed. read more

We called Williams Tree Service to trim a tree in the back of our property! We were told by Greg the owner that it would be about a two week wait. To our surprise the next day here they came and trimmed the tree! We were desperate but knew they were busy. They did an "EXCELLENT" job. I would definitely recommend them in a second! They cleaned up "GREAT" too! "THANK YOU" Greg and crew! read more

Excellent service from start to finish! Love working with a family owned and ran business.

After using several other tree trimmers, I was amazed by how much better the quality of work was with the Williams crew. These guys know exactly what they're doing and they do it in less time than the you're probably used to. All that for at a reasonable price and they are fully insured and licensed. They come to my house with a full crew which means they are in and out pretty quick. They will put the cleanest pineapple top on your date trees, skin you birds of paradise and trim your trees the way you would expect at a fancy resort. At this point I wouldn't consider using anyone else. read more

Williams Tree Service was recommended to me by a local nursery where I was shopping for a couple replacement trees that were killed off by bark beetles. I called Greg, sent him a couple photos and had a quick quote within the hour. The next morning he called me back stating he had drove by our house and looked the the trees that needed to be removed and lowered his quote. I gave him the go ahead and he had his team out the same afternoon and had the trees out, stumps ground and my yard left in impeccable shape before I was home from work. I highly recommend his service and will be using his company to trim my hedges and thinning my other trees in the future. read more

Best tree service! This family owned tree service gave a free estimate, trimmed, removed and hauled away debris.

We have used Greg Williams' Tree Service for the past two years and have found them professional and accommodating all three or four times. They clean up nicely after they are done, and the tree trimmers, clean up crews and supervisors know their jobs well and do it as fast as possible. They are worth the money. read more

Williams Tree Service in Whittier CA took advantage of my 84 year old mother in a very bad way in 2015. After charging her a high amount for their yard work, the owner asked my mom if she would like some free mulch spread on her lawn, as though it would be a good thing. She trusted him and said ok. He sent two guys with a truck load of wood that had gone through a limb chipper from trees he had removed from other clients. The two men charged my mom $120 each to spread this garbage of his all over her nice yard in La Habra Heights. The owner saved the amount it would have cost him to take those wood chips to the dump, at an elderly woman's expense. She has had nothing but problems with those wood chips since then. Aside from the way it looks it has made mowing the yard a dangerous activity, shooting chips all over the place. Anyone who would do this to an old woman would do any number of bad things to other clients. He does not deserve your business, so please let him know that. read more

I have had some confidence that Williams Tree Service knew what you were doing. They overstep your knowledge bounds lost my confidence and lost my business and possible business of my surrounding neighbors. I had tree specialists review and advise me on my trees - Sims Tree Health Specialists. I know my trees have Xylella due to inappropriate cleaning of equipment by California Arborists when I hired them to trim my trees before I hired Williams Tree Service. California Arborists failed to clean their equipment with bleach after every job. California Arborists also used climbing spikes on my trees which were not cleaned. This is the reason I hired Williams was they do not use spikes during work on large trees but ropes and I discussed their operational maintenance of tools, such as cleaning them with bleach after every job. Nearly every time Greg has come to my house he was looking for the big jobs, such as keying in on my American sweet gums. Nearly every time Greg came to give me as estimate, he always wanted to estimate trimming my trees again even after a few years they had trimmed them. I have some knowledge of plant diseases and know when to hire a plant pathologists to look at disease on trees. That is what I did; hired Sims Tree Health Specialists from Riverside to diagnose and treat my American sweet gums. Greg comes to the house thinking he knows what is wrong with my trees and before I even discussed what I want done. Greg tells me I need to remove not one tree but both trees in which one tree is very healthy. I was going to ask for an estimate for one tree removal and a estimate pruning of the dead tree branches with Xylella. Unbelievable that Greg first argues with a client; second, berate a client for picking up dog poop so you could walk over to see the palo verde (which he did not) that I wanted lightly pruning; third try to tell a client more than what he really knows. I do not see any recognition on Williams web site that they know plant diseases or is are certified in plant diseases. read more
