They were professional, thorough, courteous, and addressed all our concerns to the last detail. Francisco,…

Cortez and his crew did a fantastic job trimming some very overgrown palm trees on my property in Fallbrook. Fair price, prompt service, left everything clean and looking great. Will be using them again in the future.

Francisco at Cortez Tree Care was amazing! We saw a coyote living under an invasive pepper tree that had to go. Cortez made the process simple and did a great job! Would definitely recommend!!!

Ernesto has been trimming these palms for many years. Today he took down one of the twins. Great care was taken to minimize the impact to the plants around the bottom. The whole job was performed safely and with precision. I highly recommend Cortez Tree Care Inc. Locally owned, well established and family run.
