Description of Work: Some false starts for the visit to get a quote but completely professional. |Didier came to the house to give a quote for a large tree trimming and gave suggestions on the best way to trim the tree. I had a tight schedule and Didier was able to fit me in to his schedule. | |They came on time and Didier oversaw the beginning of the work while we agreed on the cutting plan. His workers stayed several hours to complete the work and Didier returned at the end of the job to confirm all was done well. | |Workers took care to protect the garden and dropped all large limbs with ropes to insure no damage in the garden. Workers completely cleaned the garden where they worked and the garden looked better when they left than before they came! | |I gave Didier a check for the quoted amount and was very pleasantly surprised when he refunded 10%. | |Overall good experience and I will definitely hire again. |

Description of Work: We are completely pleased by having entrusted Didier Termignon and his crew to tame and groom our mature and elegant yet overgrown urban garden. It primarily contains tall camellia trees and rhododendron bushes. When we called him, he promptly made a visit, followed up with a written estimate, and scheduled the actual work. He and his three-man crew showed up on time. He worked good- naturedly with them, and himself handled the most complicated tasks. Mr. Termignon is very knowledgeable of a great variety of plants and was receptive of our questions and feedback. Having worked together for many years, his men happily worked steadily and diligently. The company's skillful tree pruning gave openness and definition to our large garden. They removed and trucked off a large volume of trimmings. It was a pleasure to deal with such professionals!

Description of Work: Major thinning and some reducing of 65 year old HUGE Hollywood Juniper as well as a fence line of pittosporum and an olive tree. The crew worked a full day, thorough clean up, polite and professional. Engaged Didier 7 yrs ago for the Juniper and was very pleased with the result.

I have used him 3 times. I think he is fabulous! He cleared up our problems. He changed the watering schedule. His crew was here more than 4 hours. He has a wonderful crew. I have had them prune trees in the past. He knows what he is doing, and is very pleasant. His price is reasonable given the experience of his crew and the work they do. I was desperate because I had plants that were dying.
Description of Work: I hired Didier Termignon Fine Tree Care to prune some trees, repaired a leak in the sprinkler system, found the cause of dying plants because of too much mulch.

Arrived on time with 2 men. Proceeded to prune the entire yard. Had one grapefruit tree that was 30 ft tall and another tree equally as tall that his men spent the entire day trimming. Excellent work and cleaned everything up when completed work. Highly recommend.

They removed a eucalyptus tree in my backyard whose branch broke and was blocking part of the street below. This did not take long as expected so they also cleared the bramble bushes. Didier did an excellent job. He checked the tree the same day I called and started work promptly the next day. They finished ahead of schedule in spite of bad weather.

Mr. Termignon's crew pruned my street Acacia beautifully. Didier is professional and knows what he is doing. It took a few weeks for him to get here to get the job done (in fairness, I was out of town for a week) but I am more than happy with the result.

Didier returned our call promptly and came by to give us an estimate within a few days. He arrived right on time, and gave us a very good price. In scheduling the work, Didier was prompt in his return calls, had all the facts of his quote on hand, and was right on time for the work as scheduled. The trees are beautiful!! He did a truly masterful job with the birch trees, we can now see their form and he trimmed them so as to be very elegant and not appear to be 'trimmed.' The other trees were likewise perfectly shaped and looked natural, not 'just pruned' look. All the debris was completely cleaned up, I would never have known he and his worker were there. They even hauled away garden debris we had left from our own gardening. Highly recommend!!
Description of Work: Didier pruned and shaped two large birch trees, one of which had to be topped to match the height of the other, pruned two Japanese maples, and touched up our 'strawberry' street tree. Clean up and haul away all debris.
