Economy Tree Care

Great! (there, now it's at least 10 characters; happy Angie? Picky, picky, picky.)

I left a voicemail message and received a prompt callback and they were extremely courteous. I received 5 quotes and it came down to the price. Even though I did not use them, I would definitely call them again. They were very professional in their phone dealings with me, and they were on time for the home visit, which goes a long way with me.

Professional, fast service.

The man who came was very nice and professional. He did the assessment and said they could email or postal mail me the estimate. He didn't ask for my email and I thought they may have had it, but they didn't so they mailed the estimate to me and that took 4-5 days. They wanted $420 for the job which both my neighbors and I were appalled by. I'm going to do comparison shopping for this job. I don't feel my job would be more than an 1 hour worth of work considering professional have the proper tools and technology.

Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, timely. Hand pruned casia tree could have been better.

Tony and his crew were clean and courteous. The helpers are very shy and need to be vocal a bit at least.

Lee was on time to our home to do the estimate and he knew lots and lots about trees and plants and yards and gave us great advice about other trees on our property. He assured us that this would be fast and easy and it sure was. The crew arrived on time on the day arranged and within minutes they were up in the tree and the cutting began. All debris was cleared as it fell and brought to the mulcher truck. They even cut the trunk into fireplace lengths for us and stacked it beautifully. The stump was ground out and dirt filled in and raked to be super neat. It took about 4 hours from start to finish. You would never know there was such a gigantic tree there. Great work. Fast work. Neat work. Worth the time and money. The price was also very reasonable. We're very pleased.

Lee Duncan is the propietor. He is a licensed Arborist. We were impressed by his knowledge of the various trees we have. The office manager is Yessica, who was very pleasant and efficient about scheduling and follow up. Tony was the foreman of the crew who did the work. He listened carefully to our directions and concerns, making sure they were reflected in the work done. Care of yard lighting etc in yard was very good as was clean up. We were very pleased with the outcomes. We do not hesitate to recommend this firm to those to whom having an Arborist inspect and supervise tree trimming is important. You pay more but the end result is well worth the premium.

Punctual, polite, responsive, courteous. Lee was amazing, very knowledgeable about what these four trees needed to keep them in shape and healthy. I plan to use this company routinely for my trees

Trimmed 4 trees and cleaned up yard. Great job.

On September 19, 2013, I phoned for an estimate to have a Bottlebrush tree pruned. Mr. Lee Duncan came out the same day. Mr. Duncan pointed out a Brazilian Pepper tree that was growing over the wrought iron fence. He showed me a mature Brazilian Pepper tree that was in my neighbor's yard. Because of Mr. Duncan's observation and explanation, I decided to have the tree removed from the fence. Mr. Duncan pointed out another problem tree. The retainer wall was being forced outward/buckling because of the massive roots of an oversized multi-trunk Star Pine tree. Removal of the tree was recommended. I decided to move forward with resolving the two tree problems; rather than having the Bottlebrush tree pruned. Later, on the same day, two other tree companies came. I asked both to carefully inspect the Brazilian Pepper tree, the Star Pine tree and the Pine tree that had dead stubs. I encouraged them to take their time because I wanted a consultation regarding their advice regarding the problem trees. Within a couple of minutes, both told me that the fence would have to be removed so that they could cut down the Brazilian Pepper tree; that the pine tree and the Star Pine tree needed to be toppled 6 feet. I choose to use California Western Arborist, initially, because of the company's friendly and professional appearing team in the office; then, because of Mr. Duncan's observation of problems, treatment plans, and cost. The work was done on September 23, 2013. A team, under the supervision of Mr. Duncan completed the work in less than 3 hours. I was very pleased as were my neighbors who commented that the work had been done quickly, neatly, and that it was not obvious that a tree had been removed.

On time to prepare the estimate, and responsive to requests for additional details in the quote. They seemed very knowledgable and it was a toss up between them and the service that I did end up using. It was a tough decision to make.

They came out to give an estimate on trimming and topping several trees. Lee Duncan was the person who came out.He made it real clear that they would get back to me within 24 hours. I have called several times sinc, I have left messages but I still have not recieved a call back from this company. Not pleased with the customer service and no longer wish to do business with this company.

I have used their services for several years. It is delicate, hard work and the work has always been excellent.

They did a very good job of trimming our big trees such as our Ficus tree and Palm tree. Because we were happy with the work, we hired them again. We had asked them to do a light trim on our Citrus trees and they trim a lot more than we asked for. Because of that work, we did not hire them again. I have mixed feelings about hiring them again.

The work was terrific! I have used them in the past and I have always been very happy with them. They do a beautiful job with their tree lacing method. I have a very large Elm tree in my yard that I have hired them to them trim annually. I have always felt confident when Economy Tree Service has done the job! Lee was terrific and easy to work with. They cleaned up completed when they done. They have exceeded my expectations.

I started with them when they were a one man operation. They always leave a tree looking beautiful. They don't cut it off and leave it looking like a bunch of stumps. One time I called them, I was in dire need of assistance because a tree was close to falling on my house. They were very responsive and quickly came out. After they would leave, I would make a point to call and compliment them on their excellent service. They did such a great job, cleaned up after themselves, were respectful, polite, and did exactly what I wanted them to do. I would have no hesitation in recommendation their services.

They gave us a timely estimate before work started and honored it to the penny. They were on time and cleaned up after themselves. They even cleaned out the gutters on my garage that had gotten plugged by leaves from a neighbor's tree--for no extra charge.

Submited estimate. Did the work the next day and sent me the invoice. Smooth.

I have been using them for years, and they were just here! They are just wonderful! They are professional, and do a terrific job cleaning up. I had five huge trees pruned, and they charged about $500.00. I can highly recommend their services. Needless to say, I will definitely use them again!

Overall, the job went as I expected The men were prompt, courteous, and were careful to clean up the very large amount of debris, It all took less than an hour. Company Phone (562) 988-3065 Fax (562) 988-9346

A team of 4 arrive at our front lawn about 10 minutes prior to our appointment time. A couple guys were laying down sprawled out on our parkway, which I thought was quite unprofessional. Furthermore, the big truck was parked blocking our driveway without asking, blocking my husband from pulling his car when he came home during the job. As for the tree trimming itself, they did a good job with trimming and shaping the tree. They explained what would be done and how they'd do it. The worked very quickly and seem to work well together. I'm was inspecting the work and noticed that didn't cut away some of the broken branches that have been left from previous trimmings. However, the lead person did trim away as much as possible after I asked him to do so. They cleaned up, ground the branches and took off, leaving my front yard mostly cleaned except for small pieces that were hard to pick up.

They were prompt and came at two different times. One crew took the trees down and several days later another crew came and ground the stump out. It was less expensive than I thought it would be and they did what they said they were going to do.

In general we are happy with their service, because they are very efficient and professional. I called them on a Thursday, and they came by the same day to look at the tree and give us an estimate, which they emailed to me. We contacted two other companies at the same time, one of which gave us an estimate for $200 more, and one of which still hasn't replied. On Monday, we called them and they scheduled the service for Wednesday. They were there at 7:30AM sharp (the neighbors weren't thrilled), and were done trimming at 11:30AM. They planned to send the chipper crew out that afternoon, but they had some trouble with their truck. Darryl contacted me to let me know this, and said they would still be coming that day. They did return around 6PM but we had gone out and they were unable to access all the branches that needed to be chipped, so they came back at 8:30 on Thursday morning to finish the job. They cleaned up the entire backyard in one hour.

What I like the most about them is that they get in, do the job, and then they are out. They don't play around or spend time talking; they just worked hard. I trust them and I like the way they work! That is why I hire them every year to perform this job for me.
