"Five Star Tree Service did a fine job of removing trees, shrubs, and some very large agaves. They arrived right on time, finished the job quicker than I expected, cleaned up thoroughly, and hauled everything away. The price was very reasonable. If I need any work like this, I will call on Mike and Carson again."

"Rodriguez Tree Services exceeded my expectations. The staff was kind, friendly, and super helpful. They took care of my trees, yard, and they cleaned and removed all the debris. My yard looks a 1000% percent better. I will reach out to them again when my trees need a bit of TLC. I have already recommended them to my neighbors. -Steven"

"It went very well. Juan answered his phone when I called and asked when I would need the job done. I said tomorrow booked appointment. Also he came out yesterday after speaking on the phone to look at the tree and quote price. The price seemed good and the work was completed with no problems. He even cut up some of my tree for me so I'll have firewood for a year or so I'll be using him for jobs in the near future!"
