We are very pleased with California Tree Design! Peter assessed our front yard, quoted a reasonable price, and his crew of six did a fantastic job removing several large, old trees. They handled stump grinding efficiently and also chemically treated some old stumps. The crew was diligent, kept the workspace clean,…

I was so undecided finding a professional tree trimmer & tree removal, but I came across this company and am so happy with the job they did, as I was watching them cutting the tree they were so careful with not having large branches fall on house & they left everything clean when they were done. Keep up the good work 🌲

The team at California Tree Design is very responsive and professional. They are clearly experts in their field. Chris was great in guiding me through the tree removal process and suggested what to replace it with. After chatting with him I cancelled consultations I had with other companies. I highly recommend them!

California Tree people have been trimming and maintaining my trees for over 15 years. The Magana brothers are professional, knowledgeable and curtious. Best of all they know their trees as arborists! Careful trimming to enhance the life of my trees. They are fairly priced for the technical work they do. Wouldn’t use anyone else!

Peter and his team were accommodating, efficient, quick, and thorough. It was so easy to get a reasonable quote and book services. I had quotes on Monday, then tree and stump removed by Wednesday. Peter was incredibly friendly and professional making California Tree Design an easy choice in booking services.

The crew did a great job. They cleaned up after the pruning and shaping was done, and in record time. Three large trees, one pigmy palm removal, and a smaller tree to thin out. My neighbor also wanted several trees and large hedges pruned. All done in one day
