Cortez did an excellent job from the initial estimate through completion. They were reasonably priced and did an excellent job. There was a bit of traffic the day of meeting which resulted in an hour and 20 minute delay but the job was finished well and communication was great throughout.

Cortez tree care services did an extraordinary job at my house trimming one of my trees and removing trees/stumps of other trees and bushes that I no longer wanted in my yard. I got multiple quotes and they were the lowest price of all the companies. Plus they are licensed. They were excellent communicators and they worked quickly and efficiently. They went above and beyond to ensure this project ran smoothly and everything got done correctly. I will be using them for all of my future tree services and I would give my strongest recommendation to anyone considering using them. You won’t find a better tree care services company in San Diego!

Fast, friendly, and professional. They were quick to provide an onsite estimate as well as promptly replying to all my questions. They removed 3 60” palm trees and trimmed 3 other ones with precision and care. Clean up was thorough, the crew was on time and on point, got the job done by early afternoon. Highly recommend them.
