I evaluated several pros to help with my numerous trees on a 26K sqft lot including centuries old Oaks, Elms, Eucalyptus, and over 20 Ficus trees. It is a big job and I wanted it done right with no safety issues or accidents as numerous trees are right on the walls with my neighbors and near homes and cars. Tino understood the timely opportunity and gave me an estimate as he walked the property and provided flexible engagement options. The price was reasonable and ensured a legit experience with a solid, trained, and insured team. His crew was here for two days and I watched since I work from home. They wore great safety equipment and were careful and optimized their work very well to make the most of the time. I had to remove two very large trees due to fungus and they were handled down to the stumps with care. Highly recommended! read more

Gotta love Tino and A Cut Above Tree Service! I needed to cut down pine trees and trim palms and trim an oak. Tino was quickly available for a on-site estimate. I liked that he gives deals for paying in cash and that I got a written estimate. He and his team are very detailed. They cut the palm trees to my specific liking (3 leaves remaining on each palm). When his team came, it was a big crew who got the job done on about 2 days. I love that they cheered as they worked, it was such a positive vibe. One very important thing is that they take safety very seriously. Safety of the working team, the customers, and the property. Everyone wore so much PPE. And every ladder used had a spotter. I greatly appreciate that Tino is with his team the whole time and he'll ask me to check and see if things are to my liking before he deems them complete. We did hit a pause because 2 of the tree trunks are near a street light. So we needed to see where the electricity runs. I tried call the city and LADWP, but it turns out what's needed is a dig alert. Tino opened a dig alert ticket. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for the city to draw the lines to the street light. It's definitely no fault of Tino and I appreciate that he wants to do things safely. So, to be continued! I'd highly recommend A Cut Above, they live up to their name! read more

A Cut Above Tree Service - Almost done - Tree Services Near Me

I needed a professional, licensed, and bonded tree trimmer to remove two codominant sycamore trees down to the stumps, grind out the stumps, and trim two other sycamore trees on my property. So I did what you're supposed to do and got three bids. Tino (Celestino) came in slightly higher than the highest bid--but I hired him anyway. Here's why. I wanted someone who would take the time to analyze my unique situation. The codominant trees had become dangerous. Thank God there was no damage and no one was hurt, but they were dropping branches and had something seeping from them. One was leaning over my garage; the other was leaning over my driveway. I wanted someone to explain how they would approach the climbing and cutting, what their process would be, and how they would ensure nothing got damaged. Tino did all of that and more. He even warned me that some plants in the area might get damaged, and if anything else was affected--like a drip line or water pipe--they would fix it. He also told me he would have his insurance company send me a Certificate of Insurance with my property address on it for peace of mind. I value promptness and cleanliness. I don't want people on my property who won't respect it. Tino and his crew went above and beyond my expectations. When the job required access to my neighbor's driveway, Tino approached my neighbor and politely requested permission. My awesome neighbor immediately agreed. But this meant a mess would be left behind on both driveways. Without me saying a word, Tino's crew jumped on it--they cleaned up my neighbor's driveway, and when they noticed dust and wood chips on my neighbor's roof, one of the crew members climbed up with blowers and left it spotless. Then he did the same for my roof and cleaned my driveway as well. This was a two-day job. The trees were massive and complicated to cut, requiring them to work piece by piece, saw everything into smaller sections, and carry it all down a long driveway to the dump bin. They covered the driveway with a tarp just in case. They came with eight guys to do the job. When the climber finished, the rest of the crew immediately got to work putting everything back the way it was. During grinding, they broke a pipe coupling--which was expected given how tight the space was--and they went and got the part to fix it. They also replaced a drip line they had to cut before grinding. Both repairs were done perfectly. The place was spotless when they were done. They came back a few days later to trim the other two sycamore trees, which took only a couple of hours. Once again, the property was left immaculate. Here's my advice after this whole experience: hire someone who, when they come out to give you a bid, is professional, personable, and explains the details of what they're going to do. You may encounter people who show up only to see if you'll accept their number. Before fully understanding your needs, they just want to talk broad strokes, throw out a bid, and gauge your reaction. If the owner of the company doesn't show care in the work, imagine the culture among the employees--they'll care even less. I want clear communication, detailed explanations, and a seamless process. You certainly don't want someone to give you a low bid and then stop mid-job to say, "I didn't foresee this issue--that's going to cost another $XXXX." If the bid is done right, it requires the vendor to spend time on your property, talk to you, uncover your needs, and discuss the details. That's exactly what Tino did--with respect and professionalism. Yes, his bid was higher, but it was worth every penny. I got exactly what I wanted, and nothing we discussed was deviated from. So if you have a tree trimming or tree and stump removal need, definitely get bids--but make sure Tino is your last bid. See what he has to say before you decide. See some before and after pictures. Hope this helps. God bless! read more
