Our trees appeared to have been growing for quite some time without maintenance. The foreman came to our house , discussed the job and I received an estimate on the spot. On the day of the service, they arrived on time and did the work exactly as agreed upon and without any additional guidance from me. They were very quick, efficient, and neat and I thought their bid was reasonable for the number of trees that they pruned (probably close to 15). I will definitely call them again when I need additional services.
Description of Work: Traverso pruned and shaped numerous trees in the yard of the house we just purchased.

They were fantastic but expensive. They were wonderful. They left the worksite very, very clean. They were very polite. The tree was not an easy job because it was on a slope. They were very, very thorough. They left the place spotless. The big tree was $2,317 and the second job was $472. I couldn't recommend them higher. They did the second job a month after the first one. I would recommend them to anyone. They are a little high but they are wonderful. I would absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: I used Traverso Tree Service to take down a enormous tree. It was an 18-story tall old pine that was leaning toward my house. Then I had a separate appointment and they trimmed out the olive tree and did other work. They thinned it out and pulled it up about five feet from the ground and removed saplings around it.

They did the job in a timely fashion. Their prices were the best of what we had talked about. We were pleased with them. The clean up wasn?t the best, but it was still good.

They are wonderful! They are not the cheapest but they are thorough and they use certified arborists. I like the way I was treated when I called, I like the straight-forward manner in which they do their business, and I like that they really know their trees and can explain exactly what was going on. They showed me what to look for with my redwood tree so I could keep it healthy. I probably won?t call anyone else for tree service because I feel like I am getting value for my dollar.

We had four companies (all from Angie's list) give us estimates. Traverso had a very professional scheduler and arborist/estimator who gave me suggestions on how to minimize the work required on our property. He also gave us the most competitive price. Their crew arrived on time and were efficiently. They did exactly what we agreed to. We had a very steep hill and Traverso was perhaps the only company that confidently handled the grinding of tree stumps on such a severe incline. They had a full range of stump grinders - mini, small, medium, and large. Other companies told me flat out that they could not do it or they were worried about how to do it. I have recommended this company to friend in our neighborhood. I plan to use them again. They did an outstanding job from beginning to end.
Description of Work: Ground down 8 tree stumps on a steep hill and backfilled grindings, removed dead fronds from a palm tree, hauled away old oak trunk debris in from our back yard, and removed a small leaning tree in our back yard.

Overall the job went well done and I was impressed with their workmanship.
Description of Work: The tree company staff arrived at my home about 11:30 A.M. to cut a large limb from one of the large trees in my front year and to to completely prune and thin the tree out from top to bottom. They worked quickly and efficiently. I spoke with the Arborist who came out the week before to see the tree and the crew supervisor on the day the tree was cut. They were all professional and completed the job in less than 2 hours.

We had two large trees in our yard that we felt were at risk of falling. We called Traverso and they sent an arborist out to give us an evaluation and estimate. The cost estimate was very reasonable. The first tree couldn't wait to be removed and fell over in high winds only days before the scheduled removal. We call Traverso and asked if they could come early to clear the fallen tree from our neighbors yard. Traverso rearranged their schedule to accommodate us and had a crew here and cleared away the tree in a matter of a few hours. They returned the next week to remove the second tree. In each instance the Traverso crew were extremely professional, even to the point of ensuring the plants and trees around the removed trees were unharmed. They cleaned and cleared all remains of each tree. The final invoice was exactly as estimated. I will be referring Traverso to anyone who is looking for a tree service!

Excellant company to work with. The estimate was very fair compared so some other ones i got, the crew on the day of service showed up on time. The crew removed all dead branches, timmed out and removed branches that were touching the houses and shapped/thinned out the tree. The crew was very polite and considerate, after they cleaned up you wouldn't have know they had even been there. they removed all cutting s from my neighbors roof and yard along with my property and swept up up both of our area. The end product is now a beautiful tree which alot of my neighbors have been commenting on. Also the front office crew had been very helpful with any questions or requests. Would definity recommend and use them in the future.
Description of Work: Trimmed a very large oak tree which sits in between my property and my neighbors and the tree was touching and hanging over both of our houses.

He came today to give me a bid for some more tree trimming work. They are really good and things had turned out great the first time they did work for me. He showed up when he said he would and did a nice job of listening to what I wanted them to do. He took some time to put the quote together and reviewed it with me. He also let me know how they would schedule their work.

We called five companies from Angie's list based on the ratings and reports from previous customers. All but one got back to us to arrange for an estimate. Only three actually provided estimates. Of those, the company we chose was Traverso because they and one other company seemed most competent. The job turned out fantastic! No damage to anything, no mess or debris left and both we and the neighbors are happy with the work. We were a bit concerned that we didn't make it home when we knew they were going to do the work but no reason for concern. Traverso did the entire job without us and everything was as agreed to in advance. THAT is not "business as usual" these days! About a week alter, they called to ask if everything was as requested and then to let us know they would send an invoice. Billing paid was also as agreed to in advance.
Description of Work: We just bought a house that had a mature pine with huge limbs hanging low over a second story deck and the roof. The access to the back yard is down narrow steps for about 50 ft on the side of the house. The tree was at the fence between our and a neighboring property with power lines above and another tree in the neighbor's yard immediately adjacent to the one we wanted removed.

Obtaining information and scheduling over the phone for the quote and subsequent service was a snap. Those answering were very cordial. A huge volume of foliage was removed and all the debris was cleaned up. The tree now looks far better than what seemed possible. These guys were real artists.
Description of Work: Trimmed, thinned, balanced, and removed unwanted overhangs and deadwood from a large, dense live oak. A few years ago one branch, which was otherwise healthy, fell from the top of the tree due to its own weight and crushed the fence below.

Great service from start to finish, the estimator came out when he said he would, gave a detailed estimate on the spot. They came back within the week to do the work, did it quickly and cleaned up after themselves. When one of the trees needed some extra trimming (because it was all tangled into the dead one next to it), they did it without extra charge. Great work!
Description of Work: We needed two tall trees removed (princess palm, Japanese maple), 6 trees (Japanese maples, pittisporum, palm) trimmed, and a smaller jacaranda removed.

We have used this company at least twice before. They gave us an estimate and then scheduled the work. The workers arrived promptly the day the services were performed. There were four workers who worked together beautifully. I enjoyed watching the teamwork between them. Everything was cleaned up and all debris was hauled away. I would not hesitate to refer others to Traverso Tree, and we will be using them again in the future. It is a company with which it is a pleasure to deal.
Description of Work: We had one tree pollarded (pruned completely), one tree removed to ground level, and one tree cut back, thinned, and dead wood removed. The stump to the tree that was removed was ground out and backfilled with all the grindings.

They missed one of the shrubs. The directions from the boss were incorrect, so the crew had to come back to do the shrub. Other than that they did a good job. They cleaned up everything well and they seem to have a reasonable price.

The workers showed up on time, they quickly got to work and the entire job was performed within an hour and a half at the estimated price. I'd hire them again in a minute!

COMPANY IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. THEY CAME RECOMMENDED BY OUR NEIGHBOR WHO IS IN THE LANDSCAPE BUSINESS AND USES THEM FOR ANY REMOVAL IN HIS OWN YARD. THEY PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK AFTER WALKING THE PROPERTY WITH US. WHEN THE CREW ARRIVED THEY AGAIN WALKED THE PROPERTY TO CONFIRM WITH US WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE BEFORE STARTING. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK PERFORMED. THE CREW WAS POLITE AND DID A GREAT CLEAN-UP JOB. ADDITIONAL LIMBS WERE REMOVED UPON REQUEST.
