They do great work and know how to prune trees to make the tree beautiful and healthy. Very knowledgeable about how to trim trees correctly for each species.
Expert. Professional. Easy to interact with. Very thorough, including appropriate tree “treatments” (e.g. anti fungal). Gave a clear assessment and price for the work to be done. Arborist expert! Workers fast, but efficient and effective, including complete cleanup when finished. I have been using for a number of…
Tammy was very knowledgeable about our trees and the crew did an excellent job pruning and cleaning up afterwards
Great professionals.. Wonderful job on my trees..
Always an excellent and very professional job Peter and Tammy and the whole crew are great
Very professional team respectful of property and client time with good communication and reliable expertise. As repeat customers I highly recommend and will employ services again without question.
I was very pleased with the work that California Tree Design did on trimming my Cape Honeysuckle and Fig tree, arriving, on time, and performing the work, well within the timeframe I had expected them to take, hauling away the clippings and making it appear as nothing had been done, despite the “haircut,” my…
I received a fair estimate and they were able to do the work the following day. The crew was awesome, polite, efficient and the work looks great!
Very professional and very detailed and they’re trimming of our oaks
Great service throughout the process: quote, explanation of proposed work, actual work and follow up. Price was competitive and the service was outstanding. Jerad Catalo was the point person for our job - knowledgeable, professional and forthright. Crew was prompt and efficient. Couldn’t ask for a better group of people!
Tammy and her crew really transformed the trees on our property - their care and attention to the natural look of the canopies, speaks volumes. Job well done and will continue to use in future.
Tammy and her crew, with assistance from Abraham, did a great job on our trees, removing a huge ivy vine and thinning branches on our big ash, ficus, and sycamore trees. Thanks for the nice work!
I emailed them requesting a consultation for my large lemon tree. They responded the same day with an appointment for the next day. Chris came out and gave me a quote and advice on the tree (NO CONSULTATION FEE!!!). We scheduled them to come the next morning and they were right on time with a whole crew. Finished…
I knew nothing about trees until these fellas came over. They were on time, actually 20 min early. They were literally in and out with a crew of 5 in about an hour. The manager was great and even let me watch and learn. Thank you!!
A neighbor was having some tree work done and I asked the crew foreman if they could clean up some palm trees at my property.
Excellent service! Trimmers were on time, worked efficiently, and did a terrific job in pruning our large Sycamore and Pecan trees. A supervisor was on site during the entire day and kept us informed throughout about any issues.
An outstanding tree service team - Peter started work the same day, was easy to work with, and did a beautiful crown thinning of several large trees. Trees are healthy and natural, no hacked-off look I’ve seen elsewhere. Will hire again!
Excellent work and experience overall. I contacted them and spoke with Peter about pruning trees in my yard. I wanted more of an artistic trimming of the trees and not cutting. He sent Chris, the arborist, to my house to look at the trees. Chris was super knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating, and we…
This company came highly recommended. They did a great job. They trimmed our oaks, cleaned up, and handled everything with great care. They actually had us wait a few months after our assessment to prevent cutting our trees when they were vulnerable during the winter season. Most impressively, the garden below was…
The team scheduled us very quickly and took great care of our beautiful oak tree for a needed trim before doing construction.
