My cat sneaked out and got stuck on the top of a tall pine tree. I was hopeless and then I found Joseph. He's very professional. He quickly showed up, evaluated the case, got up there with confidence, reached to the cat with calmness. He stayed until the cat felt comfortable and let him have a head scratch. He then put the cat in a bag to carry down safely. My baby is back home safe and sound. I do not know how to express how grateful I am. He saved our whole life.

I've a Tea Tree beside my house that Joseph trimmed. Reasonably priced and he's Local! Did what was needed to keep the tree off the roof and out of the neighbors side of the fence. I should schedule him every two years as the tree does well!

Joseph provided us with a quote and scheduled the service. When he arrived he confirmed exactly how much of the palm tree was to be removed and performed the work safely and to our complete satisfaction. And he provided us with his license and insurance-a true professional. We would hire him again.

Quick and easy process. Joseph showed up, provided an estimate, scheduled the service date with me and performed an excellent trim of my palm trees. Additionally, they cleaned up afterwards. Professional job at a reasonable price.

Joseph Descans and his crew did a fantastic job cutting down a troublesome Eucalyptus tree on my back slope, cutting down some small palm trees and trimming wisteria on an arbor along with trimming an overgrown ficus. I was very impressed with how friendly, professional, and hard-working they were. They cleaned up all the cuttings and trimmings and left my back yard looking great. I can highly recommend Joseph Descans Tree Service.

Great hard working guy. Knows his trees too. Hired him to trim a large row of Euginia's and he found an ash tree in the mix. He removed it and didn't even try to charge extra.
