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.

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…

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!

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
