Part of our annual Sanchez Family spring clean up this year included adding some big bold bushes and trimming down some trees. Savosh did an great job and planted, cut, cleaned and hauled with care. Our home is alive. Thank you Savosh!

Everything went well through out the the whole experience. Very professional. They covered the windows and glass doors to insure no rocks or debris damaged the windows.

It went well. I contacted Gary for an estimate and he came out the same day. I was happy with the price and scheduled the work for the next day. A crew of 4 came out and did the work within about 2 hours. They cleaned up everything and did not damage anything.

Gary and his crew showed up on time and it took 3 men and 2 days to prune and shape 14 Liquidambar trees, 1 bronze loquat, 14 podocarpus and 4 tristania trees (33 in all).  We have over 50 trees on our lot and they give us lots of privacy, the look of a resort and they are beautiful and we want someone to prune them that knows exactly how to trim all types of trees and have them grow nicely.  They don't chop them off at the top; instead they thin, shape and prune them.  We have a big yard and trimming the trees every spring is necessary as the trees are huge and over 22 years old.   I would recommend Gary to anyone who wants an excellent, professional job.

While the lawn is great, most of the flowering plants and bushes have had to be replaced in less than a year. They were planted in the wrong area (a courtyard that is too hot and dry) or next to something that needs a lot of water when it's neighbors plant did not.
I think Gary knows his stuff but doesn't always listen to other ideas.
Response from Savosh Tree & Landscape Services Inc

"As I suggested installing a sprinkler system in the planter areas, [member name removed] chose not to stating that her Care Provider (whose father was in the landscape field) would do the watering "by hand". Reluctantly I chose plants to install based on our discussions of what the Kelby's liked, explaining the water needs for them. [member name removed] exclaimed they would be diligent in the watering as someone is always there. A heat spell occurred soon after the completion damaging many for the plants due to lack of water. I returned and replaced many of the plants (at no charge). Though the planters were now moist, the Care Provider confessed to me that she was not there all weekend and no one else watered ([member name removed] assured me someone was monitoring the plants daily). She had watered upon her return that morning but the damage was done. It appears they have now installed drought tolerant plants to meet their watering abilities. I will never again agree to install plants where there are no sprinklers."

We live in Fullerton and have used Gary Savosh for probably 15 years… we have him come every year. We are pretty fastidious about the appearance of our landscaping and Gary’s team has always done a great job for us. They come when they say they’ll come, do an excellent job, and clean everything up. I highly recommend Savosh Tree and Landscape Services.

We had so much tree trimming that had to be done that it took two and a half days with 3 or 4 men each day. They showed up on time and did an excellent job. Gary, the owner, has an excellent team of tree trimmers. We have had them come for several years and are confident that they know what they are doing. We are very particular about our trees and want professional work. Most of these trees are about 20 years old. I highly recommend Gary and his crew.

What we really liked about Gary was his honesty and knowledge of the type of landscaping that does well in the Southern California climate. While we were deciding the types of plants to replant, he mentioned that the choices he had were plants that he personally had in his own yard. What we wanted was something that would look nice and thrive in our yard, he gave us great choices without trying to up-sell us on plants that don't last in So Cal. In some areas where we thought we needed to replant, he mentioned that the bushes were getting too much water and would come back if we cut back on sprinkler time. That's honest. The job was scheduled for 7:30 AM and they arrived a few minutes early. It worked out great because my wife was able to get them started before she dropped the kids off at school. They worked all day replanting and even discovered some drainage issues
that they repaired and restored from the original landscaping. The workers were courteous and professional. The job was completed timely and the yard planters look great! Gary followed up a few days later and adjusted our sprinkler times on a Saturday. Someone who did not care about his customers would not do that. We are very satisfied with Savosh Inc.and plan on using him for all our landscaping projects in the future!

Mr. Savosh and his son oversaw the work with a work crew. They worked hard and were very professional. They suggested designs and worked out the layout for the irrigation system. They listened to us and adjusted their plans to fit our design requests. The work was timely and neat. The work brought a completed look to the finished home. The work took a couple of weeks to complete and included removing truck loads of excess dirt, installing pipes for a new sprinkler system as well as hooking up the electronic controls and valves. Once the sprinklers were in place, sod was installed and maintained until it had been firmly established. The installation of a rock river bed provided a place for excess water to drain from the back of the house to the front. By removing shrubs, the team provided space for a future citrus tree and garden shed. We are pleased with Savosh Landscaping, and would recommend them.

Gary is the owner and he came out to give us a bid. He has done our trees for several years. We have about 50 trees on our property and we are very concerned that they are thinned and shaped correctly. Bad trimming can ruin a tree and we would rather spend more and keep our trees looking beautiful. The trees are 20 years old and very large. We had 14 Liquid Amber trees, 2 extremely tall Canary Island Pines, a bronze loquat, 4 tristania trees, and the rest were podocarpus trees.
The team of 4 men were here for 2 days. They did an excellent job and the trees are trimmed and thinned beautifully. In fact, a neighbor saw how good they looked and asked him to come down and give him a bid and they are hiring him, too.
We would definitely recommend Gary, especially for someone who wants a tree trimmer who really knows what to do to trim each type of tree. We are very particular and Gary's team really know what they are doing. In fact the trees looked so good that we had to add 6 more podocarpus trees on the last day they were here. We have privacy from our trees (which is why we planted them) and yet they are thinned and ready to grow for this season.

Because I've used their services before, I just called and left a message that I'd like a quote. Gary Savosh completed the quote that day and left it on my porch. I called him back a week later, got the answering machine again, and said he was welcome to schedule the work when it was convenient for him. Today his guys showed up around 2 pm, let me know they were ready, and checked to see how far I wanted the tree trimmed. They got to work with clippers and chainsaws. An hour later they started were running everything through the chipper. As usual, the finished tree is nicely shaped and healthy looking.
I've previously used Savosh Tree and Landscape Services to trim other trees, roots, and to remove a tree that was getting huge and had been planted too close to a fence. I trust Gary's advice and his crew's work. I'm about to move to a house with about 20 fruit trees. I suspect I'll be calling Savosh more frequently!

After contacting them he came out that day to discuss what type of work I wanted done. I basically had a blank pallet. The next day he should up with his bid along with a book of photos of everything that he wanted to use. It was nice to see exactly what he was talking about. The work started and even with the removal process you could not even tell they had been there. When he removed my trees you could not even tell there was ever trees in that location. The installation of all of the sprinklers and plants was done rather quickly. All of the sprinklers where adjusted for the areas they served. I am beyond happy with the work. My front, side, and backyards look amazing. I have to say I have the best looking yard in my neighborhood!

They were very professional, hard working and thorough. They even took away old and broken garden things, as well as cleared the house rain gutters.

Response from Savosh Tree & Landscape Services Inc

"Though I really do not have recolection of this particular incident IN 2009, there were several times while I was in the city of La Habra, being stared down by gang bangers flashing gang signs, that I chose to abort giving a proposal for one lousy tree trim, and not to risk my life. REALLY SIR ATTACKING ME AND MY COMPANY FOR NOT GETTING AN ESTIMATE IN 2009 AND REPOSTING IT IN 2011, GET A LIFE! And angie's list, allowing someone that we never worked for to post such an attack. I thought your company was about reveiws about work preformed. You constantly try to contact us to advertise with you. After 35 years in business with no complaints on my contractors licence or to the BBB there is this. You expect me to pay you to have consumers see this garbage, REALLY. While this post exists that will never happen. Maybe there should be a web site for us contractors to rate consumers!"

Start delayed one day by rain but promptly began next day with large crew who spent over two days and did all expected. They left everything carefully cleaned up.

The last time they came out was about a year ago to trim one tree and they also did some clean up work. I have got 64 pine trees which they clean up and then trim it. They come out once a year to trim some big trees. They do seem to know what they are doing and they are pretty careful. They clean up well and avoid damaging anything else. I have had other companies who have given me lower quotes for tree service. They are very responsive and the owner comes right out when you call him. There have been a couple of times where they have been a bit late in coming to my house to get the work done. However their business is like that. I am going to use their services in the future as well and as a matter of fact, I am going to call them in the next week.
