I have been using Hector’s company for five years for tree trimming and shrub pruning. He is courteous and is understanding of the work you need. Tony has been my guy helping since the beginning. He is professional, friendly and does great work. Nice to see the same person each time.
Our back slope was a mess with overgrown trees, inadequate watering system, leaking valves dead brush. Hector came out soon after I called; i appreciated that this company was licensed, bonded with great reviews. We agreed on a fair price. The team was punctual, professional but friendly. I really liked the foreman…
We are very happy with their tree trimming services. Very professional and great communication.
Trees trimmed on 3-6-2026, did a great job, friendly crew. Second time using the company, will use again.
Great tree trimming service. Quick response, quote, and follow-through. Trimmed four trees and removed a fifth, with no damage to our house - including technical removal of two large limbs that extended over the roof. The crew cleaned up thoroughly and stayed to inspect. Hector and his crew are professional and I…
This company does an excellent job. Highly recommend.
Tony and the guys did great work. The tree looks good and they cleaned up all the debris.
Our 50+ foot alder tree went from a few distressed branches to mostly dead within a short time. HLS scheduled the removal very promptly. The work crew removed the tree without any damage to our garden plants, walls, or irrigation system. They ground the stump and cleaned up completely. I'll happily use HLS in the…
My trees look great! They did a really good job. My trees do not look butchered as they have in previous years by other landscape/gardener companies. Hill’s pruned and trimmed verses chain saw massacre. Will only use this company going forward. Worth every dollar!
The job was done on time. They did a good job of cleaning up my neighbors property, my front yard, my backyard and the street. I really appreciate that! I want to thank you for getting the job done. I’m happy with HLS Tree Services. The job foreman was very professional and a good communicator and I really…
Don't call anyone else. These guys are fast responding, give fair and accurate estimates and crews show up when promised. The crew members are polite, courteous, knowledgeable and hard working. The preform above and beyond expectations and the cleanup is remarkable. I salute their entire team. Michael Day
HLS did an amazing job on 8 of our palm trees. Very professional and clean. I highly recommend them and will for sure be a repeat customer.
My palm trees hadn't been trimmed in a long time and needed major maintenance. Hector gave me an estimate same day for a great price. They did the work the next day and the trees look gorgeous. I highly recommend them.
Excellent trimming of our palm tree. The men are very nice and professional. Fair pricing too. Definitely recommend them!

We had a little trouble with appointment..but hector was able to take care of the situation..they had guys come out quickly and all the work was done .they cleaned up and we are very happy.we would definitely recommend.thank you hector
Hector and his crew did an excellent job trimming and shaping our trees, especially our three olive trees. Other companies have done adequate jobs in the past, but the olives always looked like too much or too little had been removed. HLS did it just right and for a very fair price.
Hector's crew was very prompt on the arrival time. The foreman made recommendations on the best way to shape and thin the trees. They cleaned up everything afterwards so you couldn't tell they were here. Very polite and respectful of everything in the yard. They did a Great Job and we're reasonably priced. I would recommend them for future projects. Thanks
