Angel and his team did an excellent job cutting back a large over-grown tree that was allowing rodents to jump to our roof. He cleaned up after and spread the wood chips where we needed them. Very professional and personable. He gave a fair price for good work. We are now going to have him remove a tree and trim some that are blocking our view.

5 Stars – Outstanding Service from Start to Finish!
I can’t say enough good things about Angel and his crew! We hired them to remove and trim multiple trees at my mom’s property in Templeton, and the entire experience was absolutely outstanding.
Angel is the kind of person you hope to find when hiring someone to work on your property. He’s professional, kind, honorable, prompt, and incredibly hardworking. From start to finish, he was a pleasure to work with, and it’s clear that he takes tremendous pride in his work and genuinely cares about his customers.
His crew was equally impressive. They worked hard, paid attention to detail, and treated the property with care and respect. What really stood out to me was how thoroughly they cleaned up afterward. They actually left the yard in better condition than when they arrived! That level of care and professionalism is something you don’t see every day.
It’s refreshing to find a company that delivers on its promises, takes pride in doing things right, and treats people with honesty and respect.
Angel, thank you to you and your entire crew for taking such great care of my mom’s property. You’ve absolutely earned my trust, appreciation, and future business.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Angel and his team to anyone needing tree removal or trimming services. Truly a five-star experience!

A1 Junk & Tree Solutions recently removed a tree for us in addition to trimming our palm trees. They had previously done work for a family member who were very satisfied. In my initial text to Angel, he responded very quickly and offered to come by to evaluate the job for an estimate within hours. We received the estimate in the timeline he gave for three options and within a few days had the job scheduled. The day of the appt, Angel reached out in advance, confirming the time and process. In each professional communication he offered to answer any further questions we may have. The job was performed as described and we will be using their service again in the future. On a side note, we also appreciated the safety gear utilized for his own protection. It’s rare in this day and age to have a business so responsive and to do what they say, it was in a word, refreshing.

Outstanding Service from A-1 Junk and Tree Solutions!
We had an excellent experience with A-1 Junk and Tree Solutions. Angel and his team did an amazing job clearing out a large amount of unwanted trash and bulky items that had been taking up valuable space at our business.
They arrived ready to work, handled everything quickly and efficiently, and made the entire cleanup process completely hassle-free. The crew was professional, hardworking, and organized from start to finish. They loaded everything up safely and made sure the entire haul was delivered to its proper destination.
The difference they made in such a short amount of time was incredible. If you need junk removal, property cleanup, or hauling services, I highly recommend Angel and the A-1 Junk and Tree Solutions team. Fast, dependable, professional, and great to work with. We will definitely be calling them again!
