I'll be blunt: I'm a perfectionist -- and those of us with this affliction have trouble letting go. I need to direct every last twig, every last strand, every last leaf...because I have a vision of what I want things to look like. So when my gorgeous, 25-year-old Pistachio spit itself in two, I felt like I'd lost a family member. Then, Nelson Castellanos showed up, and all my tendencies to micro-manage this disaster went STRAIGHT out the window. He blew my mind with his knowledge of exactly what had happened to cause the split (I had neglected to trim a giant branch -- cautionary tale for all of us who love trees). He gave me a full run-down of my options (some were more draconian than others). But he also LISTENED to what my dream outcome would be. And he made EXACTLY THAT happen. Thank you, Nelson and team. Thank you!! read more

Arborland tree service trimmed two Monterey pines, one pepper tree and 4 cedars on our property. Not only did they do a great job trimming, they came in well below the other bid. Nelzon is very knowledgeable and he advised us to wait until fall to protect our trees from insect damage. Our Monterey Pines are over forty years old and showing their age, but Nelzon and his crew were very conscientious. I'm sure they will benefit from the careful trimming that lets in more light. In addition, our home is now protected from falling limbs during the next storm season. The crew was always respectful of our other plants and took care to protect them during the process. They even meticulously cleaned up after they were finished. Throughout the trimming, Nelzon kept me updated and he came to make sure the job was proceeding properly and safely. I can't say enough gooabout this company and I recommend them without reservation. read more

it's true, there aren't enough stars to rate Nelzon and his crew accurately. We have been working with them for twenty years and have recommended them to family, neighbors and clients. By now they have probably handled a few hundred trees on our behalf, all with exceptionally positive results. They are experienced, efficient, fair, and reliable; and they really care about trees and people. In delicate situations between neighbors, they are very courteous and careful, and they clean up really well before leaving. They also have a great eye for aesthetically pruning trees, and work closely with you to make sure it's to your liking and needs. We really appreciate the personal care and professional excellence Nelzon and his company bring to their work, and recommend them highly ! read more

We have used Nelzon's services for 7 years for pruning a very large coastal oak in our property. He communicates well, is on time, and most importantly he knows what he is doing. He had been referred to us by our landscaper as a person that knows how to prune trees. He comes with his crew, communicates with us through the whole process, and cleans up after they are all done. We recommend his service highly. He also removed many pine trees from our property in a very professional way. read more

We have had Nelzon work on the trees on our property for the last 3 years. He is very professional and prompt about answering your phone calls. He is very knowledgeable, will answer all your questions, spend time on the property to assess what needs to be done. His crew is very good, very efficient, always on time, clean up afterwards. Nelzon comes by to check on the work and if you are not happy with any of the work, he will return and make sure you are satisfied. His prices are very fair. If you need your trees taken care of, I would not hesitate to hire Arborland. read more

Five years ago I had to get an estimate on pruning two yucca trees and I was shocked at the price two companies gave me. I got a 3rd estimate from Nelson at Arborland and it was literally half of the other two quotes. Not only are Nelson's prices competitive but he and his crew are the most responsible and competent tree people I have ever dealt with. Their work is always done professionally as is their cleanup and I never have to worry about my property or surrounding plants. Nelson comes back every year to prune all the trees on my property and I would never consider using anyone else. I have also referred him to my friends and relatives and they have been very happy with the jobs that are done for them. read more

We were recommended to this tree services by our landscape contractor. He gathered 3 bids and Arboland was 40% less than the closest bid. He trimmed a 35in tree in our front yard that was starting to hang over the house. Start to finish, they were done in 5 hours and cleaned everything up like the tree was never there. I made sure to thoroughly read through their insurance documents as the tree was hanging over my home. Arboland was fully insured and delivered a great service. Would highly recommend them to friends and would use them again. read more

Best tree company I have ever dealt with. Extremely professional and responsive. They come with my 100% recommendation. Ask Arborland for my contact information if you don't believe this was posted by the homeowner. Check out this video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/wo0bFeaRGE0 read more

Nelzon and his team trimmed four very needy palm trees, a messy camphor, and a couple other trees. Great job on the trees as well as the cleanup. I like what another reviewer said -- they are tree artists. Plus, the guys were very friendly. All in all, a great experience! read more

I would highly recommend Nelzon at Arborland. I needed to get my neighbor's trees trimmed back as they were encroaching on my roof, and we had a tight timeline because of construction. My neighbor started by calling his arborist, who stood us up for our first appointment and ultimately proved unreliable. I called Nelzon, who had done some work on my trees previously. Nelzon listened to my challenges, gave me a quote on the spot, committed to work within my construction schedule, handled it smoothly when my schedule changed, and did an amazing job. If Nelzon said it would happen it happened. Fantastic service. read more

Nelson and his crew are fantastic! They have done about half a dozen tree jobs for us, from small to very large. Nelson is communicative, reliable, and does high quality work. His crew is very skillful and thorough. Nelson has been very willing to come out and give advice, and his advice has always been sound. His prices are reasonable. I recommend Nelson and his team highly! read more

I contacted this company to remove a pine tree that was threatening my 300 year old California Coastal Oak. The only reason I called was to protect my oak from the pine swaying in the wind and bumping the upper branches. When they took down the Pine, they let everything crash down through the very tree I was trying to protect; breaking off branches and limbs on about 20% of my tree. They so damaged my tree, it will likely be well after my lifetime before it fully recovers. The owner's response to my fury? "Yeah, I guess he was a little careless". The one star is for the fantastic job they did on the hand stacked stone retaining wall around the base of the Oak. They rate five for that job but the grossly negligent job that damaged my Oak was too much to give a decent rating to this company. read more

My neighbor recommended Nelzon because he and his crew did such a fantastic job with their trees. We had a very tall palm tree that needed to be taken out. I called Nelzon and he promptly returned my call and came out within a few days for an estimate. His estimate was fair so we had them do the work. They crew was quick, professional, and did a great job cleaning up after. We will definitely call Nelzon again for all of our tree needs. read more

I would give Nelzon and his company 10 stars if I could! We had several large trees removed, plus many more smaller trees and two other large trees beautifully pruned. They were extremely professional, with Nelzon always calling in advance to let us know when they would be there and confirming the best place to park their truck and equipment. The price quoted was extremely fair and the work was completed when promised, with a thorough clean up of the branches and debris. It is a pleasure to deal with a company that is organized and delivers as promised! read more

Nelzon and his brother and crew have done large tree work in my established Concord garden for many years - I always can count on Nelzon's team to do a great job on any tree work whether it be huge Oak tree and Sycamore thinning and shaping to actual tree removal. Nelzon is a very responsible and responsive communicator, takes time to listen and quickly understand the needs of their client and the Trees. His Tree Climbers (especially brother Johnny) do a marvelous job shaping and caring for my large trees to keep them healthy and beautiful year after year. read more
