    The BEST Tree Trimming Experience--Look No Further! (Ask for Jose!) I am absolutely THRILLED with the service I received--this company truly knocked it out of the park! I had a very large pine tree that needed a significant trim, and I had a tricky request: I needed them to strategically preserve some low-line branches to keep my privacy screen intact. Jose and his crew listened and executed the job exactly as I asked. I received six quotes for this work, and their price was easily the best value. Jose was the primary trimmer, and he was the definition of professional and courteous. He arrived even earlier than scheduled and, with two helpful associates, they were finished with the huge job in just two short hours. Seriously, the efficiency was unbelievable! And the cleanup? Immaculate! They hauled everything away and left my home so clean and organized--it was like they hadn't even been there. I am fully satisfied and could not recommend them more highly to anyone needing tree work. I am absolutely going to be a repeat customer! Thank you, Jose!

    I can't say enough good things about this company! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, efficient, and incredibly hardworking. They showed up right on time, got straight to work, and handled everything with care and precision. They worked together seamlessly, and it was clear they take pride in what they do. Their attention to detail really stood out. They didn't just remove the trees safely and skillfully, but also left the entire area spotless when they were done. No mess, no debris, just clean, quality work. We also noticed they took our trash bins out for our scheduled trash day (we forgot) and placed them back at the end of the day. These details matter and didn't go unnoticed, so thank you! Jose and his crew are friendly, responsive, and genuinely focused on making sure everything is done right. If you're looking for a company that delivers exceptional results, treats your property with respect, and goes above and beyond, look no further. I'd highly recommend them to anyone needing tree removal or landscaping work done. Before and after provided. **the chicken wire and wood pile in one of the pictures is something we left there, not them :) **

    After trimming

    I recommend Active, they have competitive pricing and very responsive. I sent pictures of my palm tree that needed trimming and received a quote instantly. I chose them because of all their other reviews. They came early and they trimmed my palm tree and cleaned up all the debri. Thank you Jose and team I will call back again when I need a trim!

    Jose did a wonderful job with communication and getting the tree cut. We had a big tree in the backyard that needed to be removed. I got quotes from multiple different people. Jose had the best pricing, and quite honestly, he was the best in communication and getting everything done. It was a 3 day process. He also does landscaping and concrete. We will be hiring him for concrete in our yard since it is needed. I highly recommend Jose and team if you want an efficient team to remove trees and work on your yard.

    José's crew did an excellent job trimming bushes, pruning trees, eliminating weeds and cleaning up the front and backyards. They were very efficient, getting in and out of the project within three hours. All done with at a very fair price. I will use them again. I highly recommend their services.

    DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.

It wasn't a complex job, but the the site was a giant mess, with a lot of overgrowth and debris. Michael's bid was well within my budget, and he was able to schedule the job for a time that was convenient for me. He also offered clear explanations about why the work would best be done a certain way. When it came to the work itself, his crew was outstanding. They arrived on time, kept on schedule, and cleaned up the site at the end of every work day. I have never seen such an organized, well managed job site. They were truly exemplary in all respects, but especially in regards to the quality of their work. When it comes time to replace my fence, my patio cover, or my driveway, I will definitely call Michael.

    On September 17, 2026, my wife and I met with Michael B. Moore, owner of Pacific Landscaping &…read moreMaintenance, for an estimate on a project involving plant installation, irrigation installation, re-grading, crushed rock, and a curb rock bed. He arrived on time and handed us a business card. However, the rest of the meeting did not go well for us. He spoke very quickly and looked at his phone frequently, and we felt he was not fully listening to what we wanted. When I scheduled our appointment, we sent him our designer's plan, which showed bender board separating the small rocks from the large ones, along with photographs of our property. He therefore had the full scope of work before he arrived. Yet his first statement to us at the meeting was, "This job is not so simple," which contradicted what he had said when I scheduled the appointment. He also told us the bender board was not necessary. Our property is on a slope; hence, the two different rocks would most certainly mix over time. Next, he said previous contractors' quotes had not included enough rock and recommended roto-tilling the property. He did not take any measurements before saying we would need more rock, stating he could estimate the amount by eye. When I asked whether he planned to measure, given the quantity involved, he said it wasn't necessary but agreed to do so reluctantly. During the meeting, he mentioned several times how busy he was and that he had 20 employees. He also criticized the other contractors we had received estimates from, which we found unprofessional. While my wife was still explaining what we were looking for, he said he did not want to take on the job and walked away. We found this rude. We also waited a full week between our initial contact and this meeting, and we were left puzzled as to why he bothered to schedule our appointment when he said he was so busy. I'm sharing this so other customers can factor it into their decision.
