I would give Shane & his crew 10 stars if I could! Not only were they all incredible--super skilled & highly professional--they came with recommendations both from the previous owner of the house and the City of Costa Mesa Arborist and are a long standing local family run business. My home had a 68 year old ficus tree that was planted too close to the house which is a concrete foundation...and the tree was ginormous. 55 ft across in the canopy, as tall as the power lines and over hanging the house significantly. Being an invasive species with shallow roots, it had to go sadly. Shane and his crew took this beast down including the stump to 2 ft below the grass line in 3 days. Meticulous. Absolute pros and with such confidence and accuracy in their work that it was amazing to watch and to feel relaxed knowing everything was in good hands. Cant recommend them enough. They really went above and beyond in so many ways: Carefully setting aside pieces of the base for the family that lived here was my favorite one, but they also left the front yard so clean each day. Such a great experience. Thanks again so much for doing such a great job. read more

We have a regular gardener but our trees had gotten out of hand. We asked a neighbor for a recommendation and she gave us the name of Shane and a phone number. I called and he responded quickly. Shane came over and looked at two jobs for me, gave me a quote on the spot and we (virtually) shook hands. He showed up the day he was supposed to, on time (a little early actually) with two other workers, Anthony and Dave. What they thought would take a day and a half took almost exactly a day and a half including clean up and a few extras. It was a very big job although they made it seem like an everyday job. They had such a great system of working together that they just made it look easy. They also did a second job at my mother in laws house and did a fantastic job. We were very happy to know that they also do demo work. We will be using them again in the future for sure! It's rare to find a business that runs on honesty, hard work and a handshake. Thank you Shane, Dave and Anthony read more

We are so glad we chose these guys. We are re-hauling our patio, and needed about 3 feet of old, root-bound, rock-hard dirt removed from the planting beds. I didn't even think it was really possible to get all of that out - that is some really hard digging of about 6 tons (!!) of dirt - but Shane promised they would, and that it should only take them a couple of days. He came lowest in price, btw. It took actually only a couple of mornings, and that's even including them bringing 5 cubic yards of new soil in (that was an addition to the scope of work). They put it all in, cleaned up after themselves and were out of here before noon. Shane and his guys were friendly, helpful, precise, considerate, quick, diligent, and responsive to all of our additional/previously undiscussed requests. They did what they said they would do, whatever else we asked them to do, in the time that they said they would do it, and they did it right. In my book - the ideal contractors. read more

Shane and team from Big Mike & Sons removed four trees in our back yard in Costa Mesa. Shane was extremely responsive, came out to provide a quote within two hours of my call and provided a VERY reasonable quote. On the day scheduled, they showed up on time and had three very well established liquid ambers cut down in less than 30 minutes each, and then ground out all the stumps on these very aggressive root bases -- all by noon. They were fast, very methodical in their approach, and extremely polite. I would highly recommend the team for tree removal and will most likely have them back to remove our drought-tortured grass when we re-land/hardscape next Spring. They are definitely a 5-star crew!! read more

I had been trying to trim a huge ficus tree in my back yard for about a year. It was really overgrown and I think I just wanted to throw in the towel. I found Shane on Yelp and because of his reviews I thought I would give him a try. I called him out for a quote and I found him to be very knowledgeable and fair in price. Shane and his crew came out and trimmed the ficus and another large shrub that was growing up a utility line. I found them to be very polite and courteous. They cleaned up not only my yard but my neighbors yard also. I was really impressed on how fast they got the job done. I will use these guys from now on! Thanks Shane!! read more

Big Mike and sons went above and beyond for us. We had a huge ficus tree in our front yard that haven't been trimmed in probably 4-5 years maybe longer. They were here about 9 1/2 hours and dealt with the heat, dirt, spiders, ants, raccoons yes even raccoons came out of the tree and all the raccoon stuff that went with it. They did an amazing job shaping the tree and cutting it back. They cleaned up everything nicely including our roof and our rain gutters. Shane and his crew were all so nice and professional. I would highly recommend Big Mike and Son's Tree Service for all your tree trimming needs. read more

That's exactly what I did...I selected the best in my city, Big Mike & Sons. Shane took my call, rapidly set time/date, and the rest is the best part...showed up at the scheduled time/date and set to work , along with his excellent team. Completing the entire project in about four hours, looking better, and most importantly, safer and perfectly clean. Overall, Outstanding Service, in every way, for the right price, well done. I'll not have to search again for tree service! read more

These guys are fast, honest and do great work! Shane came to give an estimate and came back the next day to do the job. I had three tree stumps that needed to be removed. they weren't huge, but I thought it would take some time, as one was in there for over 20 years. They finished the job in 30 minutes! I paid Shane cash and he was on his way. Well I accidentally gave him $100 too much and he called that day and came back to return it. This place should be called Honest Mike's! I see my review says in in San Francisco, not sure how that happened. I'm in Costa Mesa. read more

Shane was wonderful. He gave me a quote right before the big rain and then wind storm hit so he had to reschedule but everything worked out great. I thought I would have to take time off work to be there when they were doing the work but on the day he was scheduled, he texted me and said they were done and we arranged a time to meet so I could pay him. When I got home my troublesome ficus tree was gone and they had trimmed off the dead branches hanging over my fence from my neighbor's tree. And the yard looked great! Would definitely recommend Big Mike's. read more

Big Mike's and sons (Shane) Tree Service has been an icon in Costa Mesa and vicinity for years. The service has been top notch. They listen to what you want done. In the past with other tree services. I have asked for things to be done, and the end result is not what I asked for. This is not so with Big Mike's. The cleanup is perfect. Phone calls or texts are returned promptly. They have pride in and contribute to our local community, and it's not some 800-number conglomerate. read more

Shane Reese and his Tree Trimming Brigade showed up at our home in Corona ahead of schedule and hit the ground running like a fine tuned military outfit. They cut down a forty foot tree, cut the wood into lengths for firewood, ground the stump , trimmed our palm trees also, loaded up, cleaned up and hit the road in less than four hours. Truly amazing watching them work. It would of taken me a month. 5 stars easy. He definately works to glorify our heavenly Father. read more

Once he saw that the job would not take too long he squeezed me in the next day.
