Get matched with top trees and shrubs trimming or removal pros in San Carlos, CA

"I have used Aly's Tree Service for 20 years. They've removed dead trees and planted new trees and trimmed trees. Usually Aly is there during the service and things go great. Usually I give straight A's. This time I asked for pruning and trimming of citrus trees. Aly came for the estimate. He said my orange tree was fine for another year--I always appreciate his honesty. The lemon tree and the lime tree needed some work. They had gotten too large and dense. Workers came out promptly. No need for Aly for this smaller job. After 30 minutes (and $400) they said they were finished. I looked at the trees and they were densely shaped shrubs on a trunk. Now, I know I asked for thinning/pruning. I told them so but they said this is how they always do it and how Aly told them to do it. I wasn't thrilled with this as my gardener will do this same work for no added fee. I told them sun and air needed to get into there and thinning branches was needed for healthy fruit. They either didn't understand me or acted like they didn't understand me as I tried to explain what I wanted. Rather than continue to disagree, I let them go. I called Aly's number and he came right over and looked at it and said he'd send a crew right over to fix it and they did first thing in the morning. I loved that response. The second job done was excellent and exactly what I had in mind. I'm not sure what was going on with the first crew. Did they want to quickly get the job done and not do all the work? Did they really not know what pruning a tree involves? Do some people really like super dense shrub citrus trees? I really trust Aly, but was disappointed in the work his first crew did. I will continue to use Aly and continue to make sure the job is done the way I need it even if I have to call them again to fix it up."

"Excellent.3 diseased pine trees were removed, and an oak tree was trimmed. It was done expeditiously and at a competitive cost"

"Was very professional "

"Eli and his Acer Landscaping staff were beyond excellent, perfectly executing their top-notch design, which mirrored exactly what we envisioned for our backyard space: a family oasis. We love to entertain, play basketball, and relax and lounge outside. This is now our forever home/backyard, and it's all thanks to Acer. They stayed on budget and completed the project before the anticipated due date. In a heartbeat, we'd recommend Acer Landscaping to anyone looking to hire the perfect partner!"

"10/1/02 Initially, Francisco was very good at calling to schedule the initial estimate and following up with faxing the requested reference list and bid. The pricing seemed fair for the amount of work we wanted done. The workers arrived on time on the day scheduled, and they worked quickly and efficiently. However, the third day, they were here only 45 min. or so, then left without a word, and did not return. We received no call from Agri-con to say when they were coming back. Two days later, my husband called Agri-Con to find out what was going on, since we still had not heard from them. Apparantly, Agri-con was doing another job at a friend's house, a job they had gotten through our referral, and they were planning to grind the stumps for both jobs at the same time (tomorrow). It would have been more more proactive and better customer service had they called us and let us know what the status of our job was, instead of making us call them to find out. Since the job is not completed, I would like to wait until that time to give you my final rating. 10/2/03 - Francisco and his crew were back out at my house, and they were very considerate of the fact that my husband was sleeping; the crew worked on trimming back some shrubbery and trees, then they came back in the afternoon after my husband awoke to do the stump grinding. That was very considerate and very much appreciated! 10/6/03 - the job is 90% completed. We are waiting for our pool decking to be removed; Francisco recommended we wait until then to grind the palm tree stumps and any roots that may be in the area. We are very satisfied with Agri-con's work, have recommended them to several neighbors and friends who have used them already, and would definitely call them back when the next pruning/trimming is needed."

"Excellent work done on two overgrown mature trees in the yard. The were Courteous, quick, efficient and know 2hat they were doing. And cleaned up very well afterwards. They took great care of me. "

"He was quick, communicative, and partnered with me to achieve a vision I was figuring out to redo some really old boxwoods. Gave a clear quote and expectations and gave recommendations through the process which I greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed working with him! "

"Juan and his team were excellent. They removed two 50+ foot tall trees near our home in a tricky location that required chopping up the trees into smaller bits and lowering them individually by rope. They were on-budget, on-time, and far faster than their initial time estimate of 2 weeks (done in 1 week). A team of 5 were at our home every day for 6 days and got it all done. Super professional, courteous, kind to our neighbors, and great quality of work all around. A+ rating, would work with them again."
