Customers say: True professional

"Angel Carrera and his crew were careful, professional and attentive to each one of my tree service directives. They serviced 30 Queen Palms and four very large Chinese Elms on our 1.3 acre hill property—at times using proper tree-climbing equipment, at times using two boom lifters. Their rates were quite reasonable. I definitely recommend LM Tree Service!"

"The provider showed up on time as promised. After about 40 minutes the service guy was wrapping up and had to ask him to redo some sections that were clearly not clean. Also missed stairs completely. They did finish it up and final job was fine. Had some trouble communicating with service guy as his English was limited. Wasn't terrible but wouldn't use again.
