Really couldn't have been better. Money well spent.
Description of Work: All of my backyard bushes needed shaping and pruning or being cut back. The major job was a large cypress tree that was dominating the garden and encroaching on the neighbors and utility lines. Raul and his crew do great work. Professional and efficient they left behind my yard ready for future seasons of healthy appropriate growth. They were incredibly hard working, safe, and clean. You are paying craftsmen for their expertise when you hire them. You would be lucky to have Raul and his crew work on your garden. The tree I was most concerned about looks great after its hair cut with Raul going to the very top branches and repelling down trimming the dead and excess growth leaving behind a very happy tree and customer.

They have no set price. Make sure you negotiate because they will bid you the highest YOU will go.

I called Raul and he was very professional. He came out the next day, walked my backyard and gave me a good quote. I was able to negotiate down the price too. Services were performed a few days later and it took a little less than 5 hours. His crew was awesome! They were punctual, no-nonsense, and worked fast. I was worried if they could handle the huge dead pine tree but they did with ease. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs trees to be removed. I've received 3 estimates before Raul and he was the best. Very happy with the service.
Description of Work: I needed 4 dead trees with their stumps and a large pile of rotted wood in my backyard removed.

We could not be more pleased with the service that we got. The crew from Raul's was efficient and did a great job. They could not fit their bucket lift into our backyard so they climbed into the tree to trim it. I liked the emphasis on safety as they were roped and harnessed at all times. They did a great job roping the larger branches so they would not fall on our new fence. The tree looks terrific and they cleaned up every bit of debris that fell. One of their guys noticed our elderly neighbor struggling to chop a vine out of his yard and went over and took care if it for him. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I had a family wedding taking place at the house and the yard. The landscapers that I hoped to use couldn't get to me in a timely fashion. A lot of that was my fault because I kind of procrastinated it for financial reasons. Raul was out for a different reason and I asked him if he knew somebody who could get out here quickly. We had no landscaping because we have done a big construction job and it was coming up on Memorial Day weekend. Raul told me to let him look at it. He looked at it and he measured and he carried on. He told me to go pick out what I want at Home Depot, and he will pick it up and get it taken care for me. He came out with his crew for the whole Memorial Day weekend and worked like crazy. I have a beautiful landscaped yard and it's been there over a year now and all of my plants have come back beautifully. It's not what he is known to do but he stepped up for me. I just think very highly of this man and his business. He took 2 huge trees down and he ground out the stumps, and that was $3300. For the entire yard to be landscaped, it ran around $7,000. It was a huge job and he came under everybody else's estimate. He's my guy.
Description of Work: Raul's Tree Services came out last year and did not only tree care for me but actually did my whole landscaping even though he is not known as a landscaper. He has taken down huge elm trees that died of a disease and it was massive and four feet from my house. I was very concerned because it was a huge job and very expensive. I had lots of estimates. People wanted to come in and bring big equipment to do it and it was so close to the house that I had to sign this waiver that they do everything possible but just in case the equipment that they are going to bring in was going to mess up my yard. Raul just came over here and climbed up the tree and gently cut off every branch and lowered it on the ropes. It was just a work of art.

We are quite pleased with the removal of the tree and stump. They worked all day and did a commendable job. The extra charge for removal of stump and roots was worthwhile. They were also careful to remove the debris from our neighbor's yards. An all around excellent job. We would recommend them to others.

Raul gave me a quote over the phone for 11 stumps at $500. Other tree services came out to the property and evaluated the stumps. Their quotes were less than his but he was the first available. I had to coordinate with the fencing company and Raul to have fence removed, stumps removed, and then fence could be installed. The fencing company had a miscommunication and was not able to come before Raul. I did not know this prior to his arrival. Once I called the fencing company and then explained what happened to Raul asking if he could come back he then asked for another $200 for his trouble. Needless to say I decided not to have him come back. Definitely an opportunistic crook!

Raul was the only one to actually return my phone call. His cost seemed very reasonable given the amount of work. There was a team of 3-4 men for the majority of the day. They showed up promptly. Weather caused them to have to return the next day. Everyone on the team was very nice and worked hard. I would highly recommend him again.

We have been wanting to have this tree removed for some time, but hadn't had an opportunity to seek quotes. We heard a noise outside and looked out to see Raul and his team working across the street. We ran outside as they were leaving and Raul came over and quoted us $600 to do it immediately, since there wouldn't be the added expense of having to come out again. He also quoted us $375 to trim a very large tree in our backyard, but we decided to only do the front yard removal today. Raul and his team work like a well-oiled machine, and the tree was gone and our yard and street cleaned up within an hour. We were very pleased with the work and grateful that they were able to do the job on the spot, and would definitely recommend them.

These guys are great. Raul came out the day I called him, made recommendations, provided a very reasonable bid. The next day (4th of July!) showed up in with another work the morning and had the job done, almost before I knew they were there. They cleaned up well. We are pleased. Referred him to my next door neighbor who is hiring him to do work at his house later this week.

Arrived on time, proceeded to trim the tree. It took roughly two and a half hours to trim the tree and clean up the area.Left my yard probably a little cleaner than when he began. I think for all the work he did, I got an excellent deal!

I saw Raul giving an estimate to a neighbor and asked him if he would provide one for me. He immediately did so. This was on Oct 4 and by Oct 8 the work was complete. I found him true to his word, professional, knowledgable, polite. The whole experience was positive. His literature states that he does tree and stump removal, tree pruning, shaping, complete landscaping and maintenance, power washing. My experience included an estimate, tree and stump removal, pruning, shaping and clean up. I am very satisfied.
Description of Work: Removed NUMEROUS (over a dozen) scrap trees from property (about 4-6 inches diameter bases with MANY limbs sprouting every direction). Hauled away. Cut back trees from touching house and overhanging from neighbor yards. Cut down 2 trees with 6-8 inch diameter stumps. Ground ALL stumps on property (numerous). Cleaned up.
