Tree reviews in Orange, California

Been using premier for 3 years. Always is prompt and provides professional service. In my mind no need to call any other for quotes. Highly recommended!!!

Totally unprofessional experience with Premier Tree Experts.

They gave me a quote through Yelp, but after that, all my follow-up messages were ignored. I had to call them directly to even try to schedule. I was told they’d “check the schedule and get back to me” — they never did.

I followed up again by phone the next day, and finally got a vague estimate: “sometime Friday afternoon.” I called at 2 PM Friday to confirm, and was told they’d arrive between 3:00 and 3:30 PM.

I waited until 4:30 PM. No one ever showed up. No calls. No texts. Nothing. I tried calling again, and they just stopped answering completely.

I wasted my entire afternoon waiting on a no-show, with zero communication or accountability.

With over 400 reviews and a 4.8-star rating on Yelp, I expected at least basic professionalism. Instead, I was completely ghosted after being given a specific time.

Good reviews don’t mean much when a company can’t even keep its word or respect your time. This was a total waste, and I would never recommend Premier Tree Experts to anyone who values reliability.

I paid them to remove a dead tree and fertilize 24 palm trees in the backyard. They took out the tree but didn’t fertilize anything. I called Sal and he said they would be out in the morning to do the fertilizing. But they never showed up. I called and left messages two more times in the following weeks, but he never returned my call. Finally, I filed a complaint with the state contractors board and suddenly he called. He gave me my money back for the job that was undone so for that, I am grateful. But overall, I wouldn’t hire these guys again. Reading other commenters posts it seems like they are just not good at communicating. If they would do better at responding to messages, that would be good. But as of now they don’t. Don’t hire these guys!

I used Premier Tree Experts for tree removal and stump grinding .
The pricing is fair and the work is done in a professional and timely manner.
I will be scheduling them again for palm tree service and more tree removal.
1st time customer, very satisfied.

Sal gave me a quote while the same day he visited my home, it was to remove about 15 tree stumps, a few medium size trees and a large 60 foot pine tree. was able to get started later that week. would use them again.

I called the company and Sal got back to me in few hours, he gave a very reasonable price. I was very happy and impressed with the way he showed up with equipments/machineries and very professional workers, I added much more work because I liked their work. I was wondering how can this company gets all 5 stars now I see why.

The Premier crew just removed 2 giant (30ft and 25ft) Queen palms for me. By a wide margin,They offered the best price of the companies I called.

They scheduled me for about 2 business out, and arrived promptly on time, finishing within their predicted 1-2 hr. time frame.

Cleanup was awesome, as others have said. Trunk and fronds were removed, and ground-up root mulch was spread across the rest of the bed. The surrounding concrete surfaces were leaf-blown clean.

If you find Sal is not as quick or attentive to texts and calls as you were expecting, don't be deterred. Dude is a qualified, courteous professional all the way. 5/5

Update, job 3:
I had Premier out again to trim the trees on the patio and as usual his guys did a fantastic job and were on time and in the budget. You just can not go wrong with Sal and the boys.

Job #2 Premier has done work for me twice now, I won’t even bother getting quotes next time I need tree work done since they were the best priced and did pro work both times. You won’t go wrong using these guys. Sal is prompt, courteous and his crew spread the stump mulch in my planters for me so the trees spirit lives on here, which is good because my wife was having a hard time saying goodbye to our old tree. A* all around.

Premier came out to my house, got all their equipment ready, and went to work immediately. One worker in the tree (about 20 feet high), another on my roof, and another clearing the ground as the limbs fell. They were careful with our plants and obviously knew what they were doing. The finished job was great. The cleanup was perfect. I highly recommend them. Price was reasonable. This is the 3rd year I’ve used them and I will call them next year to trim before flowers and seed pods shower our cars and discolor our driveway. Excellent job!

During Santa Ana winds, a huge 55' tall pine tree fell onto my house! It severely damaged my roof and consumed my entire back yard. I called Sal and he was there that day to assess the project and had a crew on site the next morning at 630a. Swift service like that is hard to come by. The crew worked tirelessly for 9 hours removing the fallen tree part and the remaining standing trees. They cleaned up and hauled off all of the debris and swept my patio. This is the second time I have hired Premier Tree Experts and I appreciate this company so very much.

We made the sad decision to remove this beautiful tree at an arborists recommendation. Received 3 quotes and Sal's was the best. We were worried about our neighbors numerous cactuses but Sal assured us they would be able to avoid damaging anything on their property. Confirmed his license on the state's website and signed the contract. His crew was on time and very careful throughout the removal. My neighbors property was untouched. They cleaned up extremely well and left me a cutting of the tree. I would recommend this company.

Our family has lived & owned/operated apartments in Orange County for almost 70 years. We've formed many relationships with various contractors over that time and believe it is important to share those experiences with others.

My grandmother passed away last year and a lot of our tree maintenance was differed while we cared for her. I called Sal last week to ask for an estimate. He was at the location only a few hours after. Not only was the estimate extremely reasonable they also had a slot very soon. I first called on Thursday, they worked on grandmother's now huge, Ash tree all day Saturday.

Crew showed up bright and early at 7:45am. They literally worked all day on this monster. When they were finished it looked like a brand new tree. It brought back joy to my grandmother's house.

They thoroughly cleaned up when complete and left all areas neat & disposed of leaves, branches & other. They took great care to also miss our power line that has presented such a problem in the past. It is just in a bad spot. They also did not hit any of the awnings which honestly, we were fine losing.

I did not tell Sal that this was my late grandmother's house until well after work had begun. Extremly fair price for all customers. From the quote to completion was just about 72 hours and with just amazing results.

We would absolutely recommend Premier Tree Experts. We'll be booking more work soon. So much to do. Strongly believe that it is in the very best hands with them. ❤️🌳❤️🌳

We had two very tall and mature ficus trees in our backyard that were close to the house and our back wall that we wanted removed. They were endlessly dropping leaves at a rate we couldn’t keep up with, raccoons were using them to get onto our roof, and we didn’t want to risk the roots doing damage to the wall or our home down the line. We called Sal on Friday morning for a quote, he came by at 2pm, gave us the best quote we had seen so far, and said he could get the work done the next day. We got scheduled and the team showed up right at 7am, as promised. They moved any patio furniture out of the way and then got right to work. They finished up both trees, plus stump removal and grinding & clean up by 3:30pm. They put all the furniture back as they found it, and left the yard cleaner than when they arrived! 10/10 recommend Sal & team for any tree work you need done at a good price. He’s also licensed & insured for peace of mind.

I had a tree that was out of control. Couple stories high and huge!
My neighbor hired this company, so I walked over and asked for a quote, they were very fair! were fast, able to do the job that same day. had the professional machinery to take the branches And instead of just hauling them as trash, they had the tools to mulch it which is also a great product.Good for the environment. They were very cautious of my own yard, carefully moved my personal things. did an excellent job not only of the trimming, which was spectacular! but the cleanup as well. I run a home child care and my clients saw the change and asked for contact info. This is an honest quality professional company. I would gladly use them again, probably be hiring them for my mom's house in the near future. highly recommend!

Highly recommend Premier Tree Experts (Sal Ureno)!

Sal's crew work on our front yard this weekend, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They were professional, efficient, and did exactly what we asked. The crew had all the right equipment, worked quickly, and left everything clean and tidy when they finished.

Communication was easy, the process was straightforward, and the quality of work really stood out. It’s rare to find a team that is this responsive, organized, and respectful of your property.

We will absolutely be using Premier Tree Experts again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, professional tree service.

Everything was perfect , they did a fantastic job. I love the way they cleaned up very well. The communication was excellent.
Thanks once again.. I would recommend them to anyone in need of tree services.

When it comes to tree care, GRUETT is the go-to company in the town. They gave us honest advice and helped us make the right decisions for our trees. Thank you so much Anna and the team!

Thank you, Leilani and the Gruett team, for hauling away the debris this morning and even cleaning up the road.
Your professionalism, efficiency, and expertise made this whole process so much easier. I can’t recommend you highly enough!!

I was very impressed with how skillful and professional everyone was. Sabrina was amazing to work with. I would trust this company with all of my future projects. They are all about the client experience and will refer them to everyone I know.

Honest and dependable. I really appreciate how Anna communicated clearly throughout the project. 5 stars because the timing of the job was as agreed, and the quality of work was excellent. Special thanks to Anna and the team!

Awesome team! Super professional, got the job done fast, and handled the tree removal and trimming like champs. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Definitely recommend them!
