Tree reviews in Riverside, California

Be careful !! This company charges astronomical fees and does not provide professional service. I was referred to them by my gardener to look at a few canary palms that looked sick. They quoted me $450 and wanted prepayment which was a little concerning, but I needed them looked at so I complied and made payment. Upon arriving the guy didn't seem to know what he was doing and said it looked like they were dead but said he would do a lab test to make sure. He was there for no more than 15 minutes. A few weeks later He sent a report stating the trees were fatal and would need to be removed, there was no saving them. Along with this was another bill for $250 that I was unaware of the extra charge.
One of the trees was about 25' tall and worth approximately $30k so I wasn't quick to cut it down.
Well long story short I had another tree guy look and he said they were fine, just need to be trimmed properly. Well that was 7 months ago, I had them trimmed and they are thriving.

So $700 for what ??

Beware, these guys are unqualified and scammers.

Also, notice most of their reviews are 3 months old......hmmmm.....sounds a little fishy.

Lev a sims Tree Service professional was very efficient and extremely informative regarding my questions. His expertise and his style of communication of the science behind his inspection and recommendations was superb and he was very patient in describing the health of our trees and how to maintain tree health. Every time we use Sims Tree Service we are very satisfied. Thank you.

This summer I called a local pest control company to look at what turned out to be a leaf beetle infestation of the 7 eucalyptus trees on our property. This company had no idea what these beetles were nor how they could treat the great problem which would have eventually killed all 7 trees. I contacted Sims Tree Health Specialists, Inc. They sent a consultant out within 2 days, identified that the beetles were from Australia, had been in my area for about 2 years and had a spraying solution for the problem. In another 2 days, a Sims spray specialist came and sprayed all 7 trees. Within a week, beetles were dropping like flies at the base of the trees. All 7 tree are now free from the infestation. Sims acted quickly, efficiently and safely (we have a bulldog, and I take care of 2 small granddaughters who love our backyard). I am indebted to Sims Tree Health Specialists, Inc. for their knowledge and quick action to solve my beetle problem.

We have been using Sims Tree Service for several years with great success on the tree's health and appearance. Prior to their service starting we had large branches breaking and discovered the tree had boring beetles. The service team is great and the technicians are outstanding with the treatment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I was concerned about 2 large trees close to my front door. I called Sims because of their ratings and because they are a local company. Ken came and inspected the trees and advised me they were healthy and deep rooted and a low risk, even in Norco winds. i now feel comfortable keeping the trees, which provide much needed shade in the summer. Thank you Sims!

Levy came to my home to assess my trees. My oak trees, avocado trees, and citrus trees were not looking healthy, especially one of my large oak trees, which is in a lot of distress. He seemed very knowledgeable and professional, answering all my questions thoroughly. He provided valuable advice on how to care for and maintain our trees.

I wish I had known about Sims Company earlier so I could have addressed these issues before my trees went into distress. Right now, I’m waiting for them to provide treatment for my trees, and in the meantime, I’m trying to follow his advice to resolve the issues.

I was so glad to have Kevin Sims come and attend to my poor maple tree that has an infection. He gave my maple a treatment and will do a follow up. It's a relief to have a professional "tree doctor" to asses my tree. I know he loves and cares about trees like I do. Thank you Kevin!

Sim's Tree Specialists are very good. Logan took the time to answer all my questions about my concerns for the health of my fruit trees. He is knowledgeable & did a thorough job on treatment. It rained that same day of treatment & they even came back out the next day to respray my trees. Thank you

Always a complete and great job! Good communication with the techs is helpful too! Simms does an A plus job! Thank you! They offer a neighbor discount as well when you and your neighbor have trees sprayed together! Whatever they use is effective against white fly!! Trees, citrus, etc can also receive vitamins!

Came here to take my TRAQ Certification through the ISA. They did really well in taking protective measures for COVID19. They spaced us out properly, good air flow, good presentation setup for the instructor/proctor, and the grounds themselves was very pleasant. Good place to test. The trees on the grounds were a great example to test on for risk assessments. Overall a great experience, and recommend as a place for extended learning development.

Arborist Ken was a wealth of info we needed for our 50 yr old Canary Palm. We appreciated all th either info we got fo tour orange tree as well His professionalism as well. We would reccomend him for tree knowledge 👍🏼

Sims Tree Learning Center, is an absolute gem! The diverse range of trees, plants, and cacti creates a mesmerizing sensory experience. Walking through the property is like stepping into a botanical wonderland, with every step revealing new delights. The gentle rustle of the wind, the various bird sounds, and the sweet fragrance of flowers elevate the ambiance to perfection. It's a hidden sanctuary, ideal for hosting unforgettable events. Pure perfection!

Excellent service, on time, and a great knowledge of trees!

Ken the service tech came out and arrived within the promised window of time.

I had 13 fruit trees and received specific knowledge on each of them, as well as for a few shrubs and plants that I had.

Ken didn’t recommend any additional services because since I had just planted the trees 6-months ago, we didn’t want to stress the trees unnecessarily but instead give them time to adapt to their new environment.

I would definitely call them again, in one year.

Love the email/phone consult aspect of the service! Love Ken and his advice! Very personable people there. Very quick to act. Phone consult is very affordable! I have used their services twice now!

I called Sims Tree Health Specialists because they are ISA certified arborist. I have a large Liquidambar tree in my front yard and it needed attention. Their technician Logan, came on the day and the time we had scheduled. He was extremely knowledgeable and made some recommendations on what to do. He was very thorough in his explanation and I felt very confortable to follow his recommendations. I am extremely satisfied with their company and would highly recommend them.
