Tree reviews in San Diego, California

LC Tree service has been amazing. Justin is not only professional but very quick to answer phone calls and my many questions. He was able o get to our home the same day I called and diagnosed the problem right away. He gave me a couple of options to bring my trees back to health and has been incredibly helpful along the way. I highly recommend LC tree Service.

Luke Norvell and the crew at LC Tree Service did a great job addressing various issues with several oak trees and other vegetation on our property. Luke is incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all my questions and provided a detailed plan for the work to be completed. The work was extensive, and LC Tree Service provided an excellent crew that worked efficiently and effectively to tackle the job in one day. Thank you for all your hard work. I will definitely reach out to Luke and the crew at LC Tree Service for any future tree service needs.

Horrible service! Ryan (good guy) comes out to look at the scope of work, quotes a price and sells the job. But then the owner Larry gets involved to do the work, and that’s when doing business with this company becomes a disaster!

Very professional company. Their head arborist Larry is very knowledgeable about tree health, tree trimming and tree safety. The workers were accurate, thorough and they cleaned up after themselves. Also they were very safety conscious and had proper PPE equipment to perform their job safely. I would highly recommend LC tree for your tree trimming or tree removal needs.

Do yourself a favor and find another contractor. They provided a quote in line with others but when it came time to deliver the work was beyond subpar. I couldn't even tell what had been trimmed so I checked my cameras and saw very little work being done. I had to hire another contractor after they kept stalling on addressing my concerns. This continued on until I told them I didn't want them to work for me any longer. Best $1 I ever lost as I hired a professional service that took care of the trees

This review has been a long time coming (this was done last year) — I didn’t want to review this because then it would make this horror a reality. I’m getting misty eyed just typing this.
They sent a consultant over to talk about how we wanted the tree trimmed for its general health so we could keep it for years to come. But the consultant was pointless. When the crew came, they totally butchered the tree. I’ll let the picture speak for itself.
This is NOT how you trim an evergreen. A major hack job like this is permanent and will have the tree fighting for survival the rest of its life! I am so, so sad at this loss. We will probably have to cut it down because it is so imbalanced now and the top-heaviness could make falling branches a liability.
Do not hire these tree butchers or you’ll be mourning your tree as I am.

Ryan made a great first impression regarding trimming 6 queen palms, but we specifically asked if they used spikes and were told 'No.' The workers ended up using spikes on all the trees they climbed which was our primary concern we addressed during the estimate. We now have holes in our trees from the ground and were offered a minimal discount after. Do Not Trust This Company.

Thought I researched this company well, but missed these 1 star reviews somehow. Don't hire these guys for any thing you really care about. Maybe simple trimming only. Ryan (arborists, estimator) seemed pretty good, but gave his crew zero information on the job. I edited review to two stars because the crew was efficient, clean and professional on the job site. I don't think their actual workers even understand anything about tree anatomy though and pruning/trimming trees, they just know how to use the equipment, not where and how to cut. My long time tree trimmer shutdown his business and retired. He'd cared for my tree annually for 15yrs or so. I have a 20+yr old Tipuana that was carefully pruned every year to give a beautiful shape. We put a ton of care, time, effort and money into this center piece of our backyard. We essentially treated it like a large bonsai project since the tree wants to be 50ft tall and we are trying to keep it at 30ft or so. So essentially LC crew showed up with no instructions from the arborists on how to trim this tree. They did not even have the photo of the previous years tree trim result that i provided LC. So they hacked up all those years of effort, I had to actually tell the main trimmer to stop hacking off the critical parts, large pollards, of the tree in the beginning. The pollards are where the tree was trimmed to every year and should remain on the tree as a guide for the trimming. He said he thought I wanted him to go aggressive which I never said. I should have just kicked them off the job right then, but I did not, so that's on me, so I'm certainly partly responsible. I should have asked Ryan if an arborists would be on sight for the trimming as well, again that is on me. The tree will grow back, and like a bad haircut it will take a couple good trims to settle it back into shape. I'm going to try and fix the mess by hiring my old tree trimmer as a consultant while I do the work. Just sad for me overall. LC should really consider these recent reviews and train their trimmers better.

Es una muy buena compañia asen muy bien su trabajo se las recomiendo👍👍👍👍

These guys leave a big mess and damage things. They give you a bid but nickel and dime you on basic extras.

Horrible customer service. Don't return phone calls. Left 6 messages. Dumped mulch on the side of the road illegally

Gene and the crew at Arbor West do all of my work and I always recommend them to all of my Clients as well. They always give 100% and perform as communicated.

The owner is great, very knowledgeable about his field, I appreciated that the office was responsive and followed up with me. The tree work was done well, they showed up early and finished quickly. I was pleased with my service. They were respectful, professional and did everything I had asked at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.

Been using Arbor West for years on my commercial properties. They communicate at a high level, crews are professional and are very competitive. They take pride in the work they do. Highly recommend them for any size job!

My experience with this company is unlike any others and has nothing to do with trees. But it does say something about the characters of the people who work there. I was living in an RV. I had decided to sell it. Being parked on three street where this business is it caught the interest of a very nice man who inquired about my RV. I decided to sell it to them. The Friday I moved it into their yard I removed only a few of my things. I was told they were closed on weekends so I returned Monday to get my things out. Well everything I owned was in the RV. I was overwhelmed with much to get out and told the secretary I would try to return the following day that I’d have everything out by Thursday. I received a text and a call in the next morning that my property was being removed as we spoke and it was being put in a work truck and in the yard. I could get a u haul but a friends little truck. I got about half my things into the little truck. And told them I’d return the next day. The next day my things were gone. No one knew anything about the where a-bouts. of my property. Nothing. Not anything. I called the secretary and we talked and she got irate when I told her I was missing much of my stuff. She asked if I was calling her workers a thief. I said well my things are gone so yes I’m guess I’m say that. Nothing got resolved. I write the owner twice. Bottom line. I never got a return email with any regrets or apologizes for this happening and I feel it was very unprofessional how they handled this with absolutely no regard to my loss in this matter. It as a very bad bad experience.

We had such a great experience with Arbor West! From booking the estimate to the speed of the arrival of the estimate to the team that did the work to the office team handling our payment - everything and everyone was so great! We recommended them to our neighbor, will continue to recommend them and to use them ourselves! Thank you!

If I could give a zero star, I would.. This company paints itself friendly, knowledgeable and professional, this is not the case. The manger’s the supervisors and workers are full of lies. They are unorganized. They do messy jobs. They tried to convince you with change orders. Stay away from these jokers! Bunch of fools! Big talk and don’t deliver. When stuff hits the fan all they’re do is pointing fingers at each other and walk away . There is no accountability with these wannabees.

Dave and his crew did a great job trimming and lacing the trees around my property. They were professional, cooperative, and great workers. I've never had better help on any of my jobs!

Once again Davey tree service has done a great job trimming our Olive trees. Thanks for good service Daniel and Brian!

What a joy to come across a young man who has a passion for trees, is actually working as an arborist AND eager to share his enthusiasm with others! Ben Johnson was courteous, informative, knowledgeable, polite, patient, articulate. well spoken and even thanked me for the opportunity to learn about Davey Tree Expert Company!
He made a wonderful first impression and when I have need for tree services: lacing, planting, tree selection, implementation...
I will look to Davey first.
