    Image shows this company's license is expired and should not be doing business at all!

    AVOID THIS COMPANY! Terrible customer service. Careless and damaged my neighbors property and will not return my calls/emails/texts. EDIT: I am a first time homeowner and these crooks took advantage of my lack of knowledge. Said they were licensed and insured, but did more research and found out their license has been expired for over 3 years! Do not do business with them! See pictures for proof or do your own research and look up their CA License # 987101.

    Ralph and the guys were quick, clean, professional, and at a reasonable price.

    We couldn't be happier. Ralph and the guys were quick, clean, professional, and the price was right. We will be calling them again. Our two palm trees were getting too tall for us and we needed someone fast. Ralph came the next day. We are more than happy with the results.

    A sample of "quality" shrub removal by Big Leaf Tree Care

    I will not hire this company again. They are pretty expensive ($500 for about 7 hours of actual work of shrubs and branches removal), but the quality of their services is way below their price. And the clean-up was sloppy. They even did not give me an invoice for their work. The Company's rep, Ralph Rodriguez, in order to make his offer more attractive to me, threw in free cosmetic trimming of my two trees and, later, one shrub. After the work begun, he claimed that he only agreed to trim the shrub for free but I will have to pay extra $100 for the trees. Neither of which they did (not even the shrub). When I quoted what he said just six days ago, he conveniently could not remember that he had promised free trimming and started denying and piggy-backing, instead. Before the work begun, he was friendly and thankful, but as soon as he got my business and a problem arose, his cooperativeness disappeared, quickly. Definitely, not a company I would trust. After they left, I found numerous scratches and ugly marks on the concrete slab around the house, on the stucco, and on the fence. They made all those scratches and marks when they were hauling the cut branches. I call it a botched job.

    Just used this company to remove a large, tall yucca tree that was knocking down our fence. Ralph and his crew of professional men were able to get the job done. They even went out of their way to return and finish a section that was left undone due to the fence. If you want an honest and reliable company to get the job done, then look no further.

    I had two palm trees that were becoming eye sores and outgrowing their space in my front yard. I sent a message via Yelp and Ralph responded quickly. He came out to my house, the same day, and made me feel comfortable about giving him my business. His crew came out the next day and were done in 40 minutes. They even cleaned up their work area. I highly recommend using them for your tree service needs.

    From initial contact, Ralph was courteous, professional and prompt. He was the only one to answer my call for an estimate, all other companies returned my call but by then Big Tree Leaf had already won my service and also offered the best prices. He was even able to give me a quote via text after I sent a picture of the trees. They originally only came to trim 4 queen palm trees, but were able to prune a large tree in front as a last min request. I did not expect them to make the time that day, I had asked them to come another day since I know they had a full schedule, but they got it done. The team was very friendly and professional. Ralph even shared some useful info on the importance of keeping palms trimmed. He shared how he's been caring for trees all of his life, starting as a child when his dad would take him on jobs. For some people that's not important, but I like knowing my business is going towards someone who loves what they do and appreciates it. As a new home owner, I definitely found my go-to company for tree services. I would highly recommend them!

    They did an excellent job. I had 11 or more trees trimmed some were very tall. Two were palm trees…read more One tree was a large pine tree. It only took them about 5 hours to complete the job. They had many helpers in their crew and at times three trucks. They appear to be very aware of safety procedures. And, they are very professional. Their initial estimate given to me was hundreds less than the previous tree trimmer that I almost hired. Additionally, they cleaned out the weeds in my swing and shed area which is many square feet. I only had a special request when they were done. I asked them to cut my sycamore tree about 6 feet shorter and take out more branches. And they did it. So good price, safety, professional and all of my sprinklers worked fine when they left. So if someone needs tree service call other tree services to get an estimate but definitely call Elite Tree Care. They start at a lower price than others.

    One trimmer arrived today, March 19,2026. Did not knock, entered backyard without notice and my dog…read morewould have attacked if she was not in an inner dog yard, and left without notice. The palm fronds were left at base of the tree, and on my neighbors fence, and my outdoor lights were broken and ripped off the house. If I had not walked the work area and found the torn down lights, the ripped electric wire would have been live when the autotimer turned on in the evening. The hot wire could have electriculted my family or my dogs. The $100 comp to buy the $60 string of lights is not enough for me to remove and rehang the lights from second story and across the yard back to the palm tree in 100 degree weather, requiring me to carry a ladder to second story and out into the garden and at the palm tree. The supervisor offered to not charge service in compensation for the destroyed yard lights. He requested I remove this review and I refuse.
