Orlando Montero originally came for a quote for trees only. I eventually had him quote for the landscaping as well. He was polite, on time, returned all calls and his quote was thorough. The work was done in the time frame originally discussed. I would use his company again.
Description of Work: All trees on the property were trimmed including two black olive trees, four coconut palms, three brazilian beauty trees, and numerous robellini palms. One dead coconut palm tree was removed Large ficus hedges around property were trimmed. All landscaping beds was cleaned up. All debris was hauled away.

They arrived at about 7am and got straight to work. The crew were very professional and knew what they were doing. It is important that the people who cut the trees don't ruin the shape of the tree and Orlando and his crew are very knowledgeable about how to trim back trees so as to maintain the beauty of the tree. I couldn't be more pleased with their work and I would recommend them to anyone. They cleared all the branches and cleared my porch and decks of debris so that it was completely clean afterwards.
Description of Work: I had this company do some work a few weeks ago and they did such an excellent job that I hired them again to do more trees in my yard. I am having a new roof and wanted to clear the area around the house. Two oak trees and a pomgam were extensively trimmed as well as royal palms which were cleared of their seeds etc and also 2 bottle brush trees. They saw additional work that needed to be done such as cutting back some bamboo and cleaning 2 gutters for which they didn't charge extra. They cleared everything and left the place immaculate.

I was given an estimate by Orlando Montero the previous week after he had taken a look at the trees and discussed the work that he would do. It was scheduled for today and the crew showed up and got to work before 8am. They seldom used the chain saw so they did their work with minimal disturbance to the neighbor hood. It involved going very high up in the trees with harnesses. They did a very professional job of opening up the canopy and I am very pleased with their work. They removed all the debris and hauled it away. I am planning on using them again to do more work now that I know what an expert job they do. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Thinning out and trimming back 2 very large jambolan plum trees; trimming back another fairly large tree and removing dead branches from a large jacaranda. Hauling away all the branches and debris from the job.

On time and my yard looks 100% better; the trees look neater and cleaner.
Description of Work: Enjoyed dealing with Mr. Montero, the owner. We had to change the date a few times because I was out of town. They showed up about 10-15 minuntes early to set everything up. We had agreed earlier on the cleaning up of 2 queen palms, 7 Chinese fan palms, and the cleaning of and removing of vines from 2 white bird of paradise trees. for the same quoted price, Mr. Montero and his crew cleaned up 3 other palms and took out 2 small trees and cleaned around the areca palms. I asked if he would trim the Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow hedge and another tropicl bush which was done. All debris was swept up into the chipper and hauled away. As he states," I love trees," and he knows all the botanical names. It was a pleasure working with him and his crew was very polite as well. I highly reccomend this tree service.

All work was done as as outlined in proposal and we were exceptionally satisfied. Orlando Montero, the owner, personally supervised the job from start to finish. His staff is very courteous & they paid attention to all aspects of the job and didn't cut corners anywhere. The job site was left very clean. We can't say enough good things about our experience. Over the years, I've contracted with tree trimming services and have never been satisfied until we worked with Montero Tree. Their pride in craftsmanship is apparent.

The workers arrived at 7:15 AM (15 minutes before the appointment time). They used a cherry picker to reach the top of the tree and branches. The tree was at least 40 - 50 feet tall. They were very careful with all cuts so that my house would not be affected by falling branches. They cleaned up all cuttings and stacked them neatly by the curb for city pickup. In addition they cleaned up all sawdust in the area. It was a neat careful job.
Description of Work: Cut down a large dead Florida Pine Tree. Stacked the cut pieces neatly so that the City of NMB could pick up the pieces as part of the monthly service provided by the city.

Performed excellent work for a reasonable price and was a real pleasure to work with from start to finish. Mr Montero's personal attention was impressive and continued throughout the project, from estimate to conclusion. His suggestions on what to do were invaluable. They arrived on time and completed all work exactly as promised or better! The expertise and professionalism that he and his crew displayed speaks for itself...the outcome was even better than we could have hoped!

Overall, we would highly recommend Montero's Tree Service. Orlando was both amiable and professional. He and his team arrived on time, completed the work to schedule, did a thorough and professional job, and offered some useful advice. We were impressed by their work and would not hesitate to use them again.

This was a very large job pruning many overgrown trees , vines and trash holly trees that had intruded on other shrubbery on our property line. Mr Montero stayed right on the job and continually supervised his workers, even getting into the harness and bucket to finish pruning the large specimen oak tree in front of my home. I can't say enough in praise for this company, they are expert at their jobs,are prompt, polite and take their time to make sure each finished tree looks natural and healthy. I have had other companies trim our trees, but Mr. Montero is truly an expert who loves his work and takes special care to insure the health of the trees he is pruning. I can recommend them highly and will hire them again.
Description of Work: Pruned 13 large black olive trees and oaks on my property. Also cleaned out trash Florida holly trees and vines and trimmed back Areca palms. He also personally cleaned out a fruit tree, trimmed hedges and had his men spray a tree that was infected, this last work was not included in the price of the contract, he just saw the problems and corrected them.

Mr. Montero showed up with a bucket truck, a mulcher and 3 other men. He promptly and very well pruned my white oak tree that had been branching over the house and on the street. He took out a lot of deadwood and shortened others. The tree is now beautiful and not hacked as other landscapers have done. After I saw his work I asked him for an on the spot quote for trees in my backyard. This quote was much less than another. He mulched all the wood and cleaned everything. A very professional job.
Description of Work: Mr. Montero came to the house and promptly emailed me a quote. The estimate was slightly higher than another quote but I decided to go with this vendor as he seemed very knowledgeable about trees. The job was to prune a very large white oak tree. After I saw the results, I asked him to also prune certain branches from a mango tree and other bushes and large trees in the back yard. I am extremely happy with the results.

They were very professional from start to finish. Mr. Montero was punctual for our meeting for the free estimate. He was very honest with me from the beginning about the work associated with the job. There was no access for the bucket truck, so it would require a crew of workers and a lot of rigging. He also let me know that it would be a few weeks before he could begin because he had pending jobs to complete. I appreciated his honesty very much. Mr. Montero also supervises all the jobs his company does. He is a very hands on owner who takes pride in his company and the work they perform. I had the estimate the next day I believe. I was very pleased with the price and the work that was done. They left the wonderful mulch in containers and piles as I requested. I will definitely use them again in the future and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I had a very old and large mango tree that was in need of a canopy reduction. Montero's tree service removed 25% of the canopy, hauled all debris away, and cleaned up the property upon completion of the work. They left the mulch from the tree as per my request.

I called Mr. Montero for an estimate and he came out right away. My job was much smaller than he usually does so he said he would keep my info and if he was doing a job in my area, he would call me to see if I still wanted the work done. He did just that and I scheduled appt. The turn around time was less than 2 wks, I think. My original estimate was only for the 2 trees and then I inquired about the ficus hedge when he was at my house. Mr. Montero saw that my banana trees and pepper bushes were in need of some cleaning up and took care of those as well. Very friendly and professional and left the property clean and free of debris.

I contacted Montero's Tree Service for an estimate. The owner came out himself to give the estimate. We walked through the property and identified the trees that needed cutting, he was very knowlegable about the varies kinds of trees (some are exotic) and I felt comfortable in letting him do the job. He offered more services for the money than other bids I had gotten so I went with him. The owner was part of the crew (very pleasant group) that did the job. They did a superb job on the trees and they cleaned up all the debris and took it with them. As a bonus they even cleaned out my gutters. I highly recommend Montero's Tree Service.

They cut them down and hauled away the trimmings. They did an excellent job. They showed up when they said they would, worked quickly, and cleaned up after themselves. I have no complaints, they did everything I asked them to do. They weren't the most expensive, or the cheapest, but for the job they did it was a great value.

He carefully and completely explained what was happening and gave me the cost of treatment. He was honest to indicate the treatment may not save all three but there was a good chance for one and perhaps all three. He showed up on time, did the job and left the property perfectly clean. The work was great but what really impressed me is how serious he is about trees and that he did not try to over sell me his service. I have already decided to use him for additional work with large treees in my back yard. Last comment - use this company! I

I didn't use his service other than to receive the estimate. I left a voice mail and then received a follow up call that same day from Laura. She told me that Orlando Montero should be calling me back that same date. I didn't hear from him until the following morning and he dropped by shortly thereafter to provide the estimate. He stressed/emphasized the point that tree service is all he does but was rather aggressive in getting the point across. I asked him to provide the estimate via email (rather than fax) but had to call his office 4 times before they finally sent it out 36 hours later. The price was higher than one of the other estimates so I decided not to use him.
Description of Work: I received a free estimate to trim 2 mahogany limbs, trim and thin an overgrown lychee tree by 25%, and trim the branches of 5 other trees.

Response from Montero's Tree Service
Member called July 6. She was advised Montero would call back in the afternoon or the next day to schedule an appointment. Member was called the next day and given an appointment for the same day. Member was given a 24 hour turn around for a return phone call and an appointment during the busiest time of the season and after a holiday weekend. The written estimate was dated July 8. It was provided 24 hours after the appointment via e-mail. Montero had not returned to the office until very late on the afternoon of her appointment. We did our best to accomodate her, and believe we did. Member was anxious to receive the written estimate the same day of the appointment. Member's "Description of work" does not list all the work to be done as provided in the written estimate. Our goal is to provide, fast, friendly, and professional service to all our customers. We have never received a complaint of "aggressiveness" or any other type of inappropriate behavior in almost 20 years of business..

Although they did not do the job, I found that they were professional and honest enough for their reasons for turning it down.
Description of Work: When I called the number provided, I asked if they worked in Hialeah, the lady said they did and asked for my address and stated that I would be called back. I was called back the following workday (after Memorial day.) When I gave my address again, I guess it was too far north, but the gentleman was nice enough to go to my house anyway and called me back to explain that the project was too small to bring the equipment that far.

The Montero's team show up on time and began working early. They are professionals. They cut the large tree away from the house with dropping one branch on the roof. They then started on the palms and completed these in about 2 hours. They removed all dead branches and cleaned all the flower beds. And has a bonus they put new mulch down. Best of all is they cleaned up all the branches and other debris from the house. They raked then used a blowers and when they left the property was spotless. The owner takes pride in his business and he has an excellent team.

Mr. Orlando Montero met with my husband and I on April 9th. We walked around the property together, we pointed the things out we were concerned with, Mr. Montero made suggestions and additional recommendations as to what the entire scope of work should be. On April 10th, we had a proposal which covered everything and we thought the price was reasonable. We agreed to do the work on the 20th. Mr. Montero plus three workers showed up around 7:30 a.m. with all equipment, ready to start the job. Mr. Montero is a Certified Arborist and he supervised the entire job from start to finish. Our trees look fabulous, any air plants or ferns which required relocating, they took care of. The trimmed back all plant material which was starting to grow thru our pool screens. They fertilized a palm in the front yard. They trimmed back a lot of overgrown hedges in the side yard. They cleaned up and hauled away all the debris from the job to the dump. When they left, you could not tell how extensive the work was, everything just looked beautiful. I can't believe it, I didn't know how beautiful the trees are in the front yard. Now the big Poinciana has been cut back and I don't have to worry about limbs damaging the pool cage, or roof of the house, during a storm. I recommend Montero's Tree Service. We will definitely work with them again and I am planning asking Mr. Montero to help with landscaping a front island and new plant material for the pool area.
Description of Work: Tree trimming - large Poinciana tree at back of property, two large Green Buttonwoods at front of property. Removal of two large Date Palms in planter inside screen pool area, removal of small oak tree. A section of chainlink fence had to be removed in order for his equipment to have access to the back yard. This fence was reinstalled.

Mr. Montero was very prompt and professional in responding to my call, coming out to the property and giving a written estimate via email. This is a home I recently purchased in which needed a major cleanup of the entire surroundings of the home before beginning the landscape. He obtained a permit from the City of Coral Gables within 1 day in order to remove a tree that was causing damage to roof, neighbor, and plumbing. The crew was at my home at 7:30am and worked for 3 days on the property. They hauled away everything. They did a phenomenal job and I am very pleased with the work they did. I highly recommend their services and plan to use them for landscaping as well.
