Get matched with top tree service pros in Altadena, CA

"We've used M&M for a couple years now and I have to say they are the best. I've used different tree companies over the years and Miguel and his crew are, by far, the best I've ever worked with. We've dealt with both Miguel Sr. and Miguel Jr. and both of them are the nicest guys you'll ever meet. And very professional too. We've had M&M out to our home as well as our rental property for lots of different jobs, but the biggest job we did was when we had to have all of our oak trees trimmed at our personal residence. And we have a lot of oak trees! Miguel had a crew of about 10 people show up and each and every one of them knew exactly what to do and they worked in unison beautifully. They finished way quicker than I had anticipated (due to the large crew and the fact that they all knew what they were doing), and the job came out perfect. I've also had a few instances where we've had fallen trees due to high winds and Miguel always comes out the same day to take care of our issues. I can't find one fault with this company, they truly are the best."

"This was the first time i undertook such an extensive project: new concrete driveway, artificial turf install, stucco wall , iron fences and motorized gate, drip irrigation, spotlights, new plantings. All the work was completed on time with utmost professionalism from Yosi and his very capable crews. Everything was upfront and there were never any surprises. Needless to say we are all extremely happy with the beautiful results. I'm already talking to Yosi about my next project!"

"We had 17 Pine Trees with Bark Beetle damage at different stages. Carlos and his crew removed one tree, thinned several others and sprayed all. They chipped all wood and brush and cleaned up. When they finished, our yard looked better than they found it. "

"Gave me a decent price. Cut the trees on the spot. Will pay tomorrow when stumps are ground. Simple, easy, no BS."

"I would not recommend Castaneda's Tree Trimming. In the past they have done a great job, but this time they ruined our palm tree, see photo of palm tree on left top 1/4 was skinned. We have video of the tree trimmer not doing a professional job, being lazy and creating disfiguration. When I spoke to Pedro he was not willing to correct the issue or refund us our $$. So sad..."

"Be Aware!!! AVINA killed my TREE and they DENIED it. We had a very nice big Brazilian Peppertree in our front yard (see photo #1). On 2/13/24, Fidel Avina from AVINA Tree Service trimmed the tree. A couple weeks later, some leaves started turning brown and drying up. Unfortunately, the Peppertree died completely in late June when all the leaves turned brown and dried up (see photo #2). I was told by a second tree company that my tree died because it was trimmed too much and also the chainsaw they used might be unclean. When I called AVINA Tree Service to take a look at our Brazilian Peppertree they trimmed, the first response I got from Chris from AVINA was Your tree was sick before we trimmed it. This excuse is not even logical. Fidel Avina and his team never told me my tree was sick before, during, or after the end of their tree service when I paid him $370. Our tree was very vibrant as shown on the photo before they trimmed it and I have confirmed with a nursery that a big tree will take years to die if ità ¢ s sick. Chirs kept telling me that he would send someone to look at our Peppertree again, but no one showed up. It was not until 10/7/24, that Fidel Avina showed up at our house to talk to my husband. He told my husband à ¢ it was your wife asking me to cut it smaller Yes. I asked him to cut it smaller. Isnt that the purpose of trimming? However, I did not ask him to kill the tree! The Peppertree would not need trimming if it was not big. I thought AVINA was licensed to do the tree trimming service and he claimed he has been a Tree Arborist for 20 years. To my knowledge, to become a certified Arborist in the state of California, you need to pass a written test after being in the Arboriculture field for a minimum of 3 years, but he blamed the paying customer for his own mistakes! To move forward, my husband offered to help with half of the cost of a new tree (so we can choose the tree we like) but Fidel asked my husband to also cover half of the tree removal on top of the cost of the tree. Lets be honest here, we went to a mainline Nursery with 9 locations in Southern California, Moon Valley Nurseries, in order to find out how much it would cost to replace our full size Brazilian Peppertree with a new one. The total cost was $19,334.35 with the Peppertree alone costing $14,999. We did not ask AVINA for $19,334.35 (see Photo 3) to replace the Brazilian Peppertree they killed. For less than $2,000, they should be able to remove the dead tree and plant a new younger tree than our now dead Peppertree. It is unbelievable to me that Fidel even asked my husband to pay for half of everything on their own mistake! I believe AVINA should first refund me $370.00, for the tree trimming service they failed at. After that, AVINA Tree Service can then talk about how to come up with a compromised solution with a younger tree."
