Sotero called me an hour after I made my online request on Angie's List. I scheduled him to come the next day at noon. I had already talked to two other companies. Sotero came himself (not an estimator). He checked the trees and told me how he would trim and shape the two large maple trees in the front yard and confirmed the three diseased and damaged trees in the back should be removed. I liked it that I was talking to the owner and he was knowledgeable and experienced. His price was fair and he was able to do the work the next day. He sent a large crew of 8 with the right equipment. I was impressed with how well and quickly they completed the work. The clean up was excellent. My yard looked great after they were done and the two trees looked healthy and had a nice shape. They did a good job of removing the sick trees and the stumps to about 16 inches below ground and covering it with top soil. It looked as if there were never any trees there. I am very happy with work that Sotero did and appreciate it that he personally checked the work when it was finished.

From the largest of the trees to the smallest of the plants, they expertly and beautifully took care of all of our landscaping needs. They understood how to promote the health of and show off the beauty of each of our landscape items. They worked diligently as a team and thoroughly cleaned the yards before leaving. I have used them several times, and they have always exceeded my expectations.

Sotero contacted me promptly after my inquiry, we set up an appointment for him to assess the job, and he scheduled the removal for the next day. His crew showed up as planned and took down the two trees (a persimmon and an overgrown shrub), taking care with the surrounding roses and other plantings. They did a good job! I plan to call him in a few months to prune a neglected citrus tree.

The estimator was prompt and gave me the estimate in writing. I thought it was a little high, but went with them anyway. The workers show up on the appointed day and were fast and efficient. They did a great job, including the clean up and haul away. 1500I would hire them again.

They trimmed approximately 25 very tall trees. They operated in a safe and efficient manner. They were highly experienced in tree trimming. We would hire them again.

all in one afternoon! no stump grinding. The crew was happy to work, and they all worked well with each other. they all paid attention to details and made sure at the end of the day that I was happy with all that they had done. I would hire them again. I was not sure during the time they were here if I really wanted the third tree removed, but I asked the foreman if they could do it for a little more money, and he agreed to my suggested price...it was done in about 15 minutes. the men did not grumble and moan about the extra labor.

Their price was reasonable. Their responsiveness was great. They called back within 15 minutes of me calling them. Other providers called days after the job was done.

Excellent! They were on time and on their original budget. They completed the work in under 2 hours and they cleaned everything - actually better than it was. I especially liked that before they left, they checked to make sure everything was done. I asked for a couple of high limbs to be a bit shorter and it was handled without any complaint. Absolutely professional. I will asking them back to trim my fruit trees.

Three workers arrived on time with their truck, a large wood chipper, and large stump grinder. All of the workers were very professional and removed the tree and stump very quickly thanks to the equipment they had to assist them. They cleaned up everything completely and left the property in excellent condition. Just today a representative of the company called to ask how everything went. The quote sheet included the company's workers compensation and liability insurance numbers. The price was excellent. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends

They arrived right on time, with a large crew and knocked the job out in about 2 1/2 hours. They hauled chipped all the trimmings and cleaned up after themselves perfectly. They were terrific - I would definitely use them again.

The crew knew exactly what they were to do and how to do it. The 2 large trees were especially challenging, but they trimmed and thinned them beautifully. The crew efficiently performed their various tasks, finishing everything about the same time. They cleaned up everything well. When they were finished, one of the crew took me around the yard showing and explaining what had been done and making sure I was pleased with the results. This is the second time I have used their services, and I will certainly use them again.

OK, but they had to come back for one of the palm trees. They came to finish like I wanted.

They did a wonderful job in a reasonable amount of time. They were very clean and were careful of my property and that of my neighbors. I was concerned because the tree was so large, but they knew exactly what they were doing. A very professional job...thanks.

Excellent work. Sotero showed up for an estimate and was able to fit me in the next day. I'm not sure that's their normal timing, but I was around and it definitely worked for me. The guys were there around 1:30, done just before 5. The place was clean, the trees were done beautifully and they were nothing but professional and kind. We have lights hanging between a few of the trees which they were able to remove from their anchors and reattach - they didn't break any nor did I have any concern while they were working on it. I'd absolutely call them again to have more work done.

They arrived on time and just got to working. Very impressive work ethic, no dawdling while on the job. While one man was cutting back the elm trees, two others were cutting the huge limbs into smaller pieces and taking them out to the shredder. I'm not sure how many hours they were here working away, but long enough that they took a lunch break. The crew were friendly and listened to my concerns about the tree limbs over-hanging the garage and another backyard building. They were almost done with it all, when I decided to ask them if they could also remove the lemon tree. No problem, it was done within 15 minutes for another $200. Don't know if I over-paid for that or not, but it is gone now and I'm glad I asked them to do it. The total price seemed high to me, but what do I know? This was the first time I had ever hired a crew to do this kind of work. Over all, I would definitely call them again. They knew what they had to do and just did it.
