We had Crown Point Clippers come to our house in Point Loma recently, probably the 4th or 5th time we've relied on their quality tree trimming service. We met with David prior to the work we wanted done and knew what to expect when they arrived at an agreed upon date and time. And the crew showed up on time, actually 2 minutes early!! They trimmed our palm trees with no spikes and melaleuca trees along with lacing out other trees. The 3 crew members did a fantastic job and picked up every stray leaf and branch before they left. I know we'll have them back next year again!! Highly recommend this company!!! For all the work they did, the price was very fair. read more

Crew arrived on time, did a beautiful job with the trees, and left my yard and patio clean and tidy! They even cleaned the neighbors' yard since some of the debris fell in there. Note: if you have any special instructions (eg "no spikes on the queen palm trunks") be sure to communicate those clearly to the crew before they start work. read more

This company is pure trash in EVERY way. So I live in a HUGE complex which is serviced by these guys and all they do is thrash everything they touch. LITERALLY. They usually come through the complex like a hurricane - cutting and breaking tree limbs, moving stuff around the patios and not putting anything back, leaving their mess behind and not cleaning anything afterwards.... Case in point #1: -- MY PATIO... I came home one day to find everything moved around. Plant pots moved onto the ground, furniture moved around etc so they could come INTO my patio area and trim the trees and bushes ON MY SIDE and they did a horrible job doing it... They left broken and cut branches all over the place - cleaned nothing and put nothing back... Just left everything just as it was after they got done. On the front side - they not only trimmed the trees and bushes so they're not affecting the walkway area - they butchered them. They cut the tree literally in half, destroyed the bushes and again....left all the broken branches and debris all around in the front of my property area... (I DID call the office but we'll get to that later). I had to actually clean up their mess that they so conveniently left behind. Case in point #2: -- They basically did this to EVERYONE'S patio area and surrounding properties of the patio. Trimming trees WAY BEYOND what was needed. They would literally chop branches indiscriminately regardless of whether or not they were impeding a walkway. People have literally screamed at them to stop doing what they're doing and shooed them away like they were dogs... Case in point #3: They don't speak any English (or they PRETEND not to speak any English, which is probably the case) - so when you try to talk to them they basically do a Jackie Chan and just smile and nod... Like I said - I've called their offices to complain about what they did to my patio and that brings me to: Case in point #4: When I called them to complain about everything that happened I was shuffled around, told I would get a call back etc which of course I didn't. I kept trying, finally got a hold of someone, told them what happened but because it's a complex and a contract associated with the complex - they said they can't assist and would have to talk to the Property Manager and when they DID - they denied everything... I even have pictures of the before and after - and showed it to the Property Manager - and they STILL denied everything... Just straight up lied that this ever happened because of COURSE their employees denied ever having did this and of COURSE they sided with their employees (which truthfully - I think that's okay actually). If you're thinking about using them - DON'T. There's a thousand landscaping and tree trimming companies in San Diego and THIS ONE is at the bottom of the list. ...utter f*cking trash. read more

Our small townhome complex in Mission Beach hired these guys to trim palm trees, giant bird of paradise stalks, melaleuca trees and to take out a couple of tall dead palm trees. They were fantastic! Showed up on time, quick quality work, friendly and they left the grounds pristine! Very fair price for excellent work! read more

David and his crew have always done a fantastic job trimming our fruit trees and evergreen pear at our condominium complex. Would totally recommend him to anyone needing tree trim service. Great value. read more

Reasonable price and great work. The owner responded quickly and sent a team that was punctual and efficient.

Crown Point Clippers provided high quality landscape removal service. Their crew was professional, efficient, and used the best equipment in the business. I recommend using this company above any other in San Diego. They have been in business since 1979. read more

We had Crown Point Clippers trim 3 large palms as well as a huge acacia tree (which they laced perfectly). The crew was timely, organized, and cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend! read more

I needed some trees to be removed, and David and team were very good. He responded promptly to my inquiry and provided a very competitive quote. We started with one tree, but after seeing their work, we expanded the scope. The crew, including Francesco, Emilio, Alex, and another team member, were efficient and performed clean work. They worked carefully, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding plants and left the area clean. I was very pleased with their responsiveness, pricing, and the quality of their work. read more

We have a 50+ foot Brazilian Pepper tree. After losing a limb in the last storm we needed it really thinned out, and two extremely large limbs to be removed. It was a very involved job, and Crown Point Clippers really rose to the challenge. From the initial consultation with David, who was very informative and helped us make the decision on how to proceed, to the end of the process when he was there to make sure we were satisfied, we felt we had chose the right company. The crew arrived on time both days, and they worked diligently to get the work done. They cleared the area making sure anything breakable was out of the way, and cleaned up all debris when they were finished. We could not be more pleased with how nice the tree looks! read more

David and his crew are reliable and do a great job. This is our second time trusting them with our trees. Highly recommend.

After living in our home in La Jolla Alta for 4.5 years, the trees and bushes on the slope behind our back patio were way overgrown to the point where our view was totally hidden. Because of the pandemic, we put off getting the tree trimming done, but decided to get some bids from local tree trimming services. We found that a lot of services flaked out on us; either they never called back, they no-showed for the bid appointment, they promised a bid and never delivered, or - worse yet - gave us bids in the low four-figure range (granted, our back slope ends in a neighbor's back yard, the only access is a narrow gate on our patio, but still the prices were exorbitant)! David Hingeley contacted us promptly, gave us a bid that was 1/3 the price of the other bids we received, and we didn't get the sighing and complaining from the others ("I don't know how we're going to get this done....it will take hours") David looked around, told us there would be no problem, and pointed out all the houses within our view that his service takes care of - including the home at the bottom of our slope! He arranged with the homeowners to have our debris cleared through their property. The crew showed up on time, did the job as promised, cleaned up and honored their bid! They were friendly, professional and masked when they dealt with us at our house. We highly recommend Crown Point Clippers and will definitely use them again, but won't wait 4.5 years this time. :-) read more

These guys came to me as a recommendation and honestly I couldn't​ have been happier with their service! The owner came out and quoted me a fantastic price. More importantly,​ when you meet him, you can tell he is a​ ​ solid good person. Maybe that doesn't matter to people but it matters to me. I had a huge Juniper Tree that was growing a little close to the house and needed​ to go. We were concerned that the roots would wreck the plumbing and or the foundation. In addition to that, we had palm trees that were way overgrown​. It was great for privacy but, it could have been mistaken for Jurassic Park. His team took care of it in a day and now our home looks great! I don't normally review but, the service for the price was awesome and I wanted to pass on the recommendation. read more

First time with Crown Point Clippers and had a great experience! They were fast, efficient, and did a great job! I had a large palm tree in an inconvenient place between my house and my neighbors. They removed more than I even thought was going to be removed based on all the other quotes that I received. It looks great! They also cleaned up the area and my neighbors area to make sure that there wasn't any dust anywhere. I will definitely be using Crown Point Clippers for future services. read more

If you don't care what your tree ends up looking like and you just want it done cheaply then these are your guys. If you actually care about the aesthetics and integrity of your tree...I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

Crown Point has been trimming our trees for almost a decade. They never disappoint. Excellent service, very careful and friendly. Great job. read more

David Hingeley's company is popular and he has two crews so at times, the scheduling of the work maybe a few weeks out depending if it is an emergency or time of year. I met him 10 years ago when he was servicing a large private community of Stonehaven. David is an honest man and his team does very good work they are efficient, skilled at complicated lacing (like a 60 y/o pepper tree) as well as stump grinding - clean up is as good as one could want for their property. This company has been in the area for many years as David continues the business his father founded. Stacia is an asset in the office, highly recommended. read more

I would give a zero if I could. I was referred to this company by a friend and so I called to schedule an appointment for a quote. I left a voicemail. My call was returned 2 days later scheduling the following Friday as the day to quote and trim. Then, I received an email from whom I believe is the owner, David. He asked me to send photos so he could expedite my bid. I responded right away with the photos he requested and he responded a quote. We negotiated that if I paid cash it would only be $200. Great! I was all in and asked if Friday the 1st would still be the day. He asked if my schedule was open so what do I do, I take a vacation day so officially now it is! Our emails continue and he gives me a time frame between 10-12 and tells me he'll text me when his trimmers are leaving their morning job. I never received a text and the time was now 11:30 on trimming day. I did however receive a call from a lady name Leslie who said she was here. Yay! Tree trimming time- NOT! Leslie claims she was only there to take pictures and give me a quote. I told her I've already done all that and sent the photos to David and already received a quote. She was shocked and responded with "wow". Of course she starts apologizing because now she realizes, someone didn't communicate as they probably should have. So she leaves. I email David asking for an explanation and instead of calling to explain or apologize for the miscommunication, he starts texting me- talking about heat exhaustion and OSHA. I inform him that I understand the heat aspect, but his communication was lacking and he just seemed to make excuses for failing to follow through. Besides, the forecast has shown it was going to be hot for some time now. I don't need excuses. I just need you to act like a business owner and have decent customer service. We'll go with another company. Once I find a better one(which shouldn't be difficult), I'll post it here for others to see. read more

Crown Point Clippers - Bad communication ::thumbs down:: - Tree Services Near Me - La Jolla, California

Fast, efficient and very reasonable. I would highly recommend Crown Point Clippers for anybody looking for tree work!

The Crown Point Clippers team did a fabulous job on trimming my front and backyard trees last week. I was super pleased with their attention to detail and engagement with me and my partner asking if we were happy with their work or if we wanted more taken off, etc. They were on time and I really appreciated how quick they were too. I highly recommend these guys for all your tree trimming needs. read more

Fantastic tree service. Dave responded right away to my call and sent a crew the next day! The crew showed up exactly when they were promised to show. They got to work promptly and whizzed through the job. I recommend them highly. read more

Excellent experience! Highly recommended! I needed one medium tree (probably 30 feet tall and a little wider than that) in my back yard pruned. It was very overgrown and had not been trimmed in at least a decade. It also hung over the property line and quite a bit over the neighbor's yard, which complicated things. And I wanted to remove a dead fruit tree in my front yard, which I knew would be very easy. Crown Point Clippers was recommended to me, so I gave them a call. The owner (David) was in regular contact with me by text message and occasionally by email. I like these kind of updates as to when people will be on their way to my house. He was able to schedule me very quickly. I think they had a last minute cancellation because he basically said, "How about today?" And they were at my house 90 minutes later. Tree trimming is no easy job! This crew busted their hump for 3 straight hours. I was sore just from watching them. After cleanup, they left my yard cleaner than it was before. And the medium tree in my back yard looks great. I'm very happy. My street is pretty narrow and I was worried about their big truck finding room to park. Also, as luck would have it, they showed up on trash and recycling day. The blue bins were actually emptied while they were here. And they made sure none of my neighbors bins was missed. Bonus points for looking out for the neighborhood. read more

Crown Point Clippers was referred to me by a friend and I am glad they were. We had a long overdue trim needed on several large junipers and a few other trees on our property in North PB. David and his crew are true professionals, responsive, fast and fairly priced. I highly recommend them and will call again next time we need greet service. read more

This review is very limited in scope. While I did not hire them for the job, the owner who came out and did an estimate for trimming and shaping my Canary Palm was exceptionally professional and helpful. He informed me of a serious disease affecting canary palms And directed me to a firm that could address that current crisis. read more

David is friendly and helpful, his crew came and got the job done super quick with no issues. It was very easy to communicate with him through texting! read more

Working with David Hingeley and his workers from Crown Point Clippers proved to be he right decision. I had four large trees that needed removal. I contacted four companies for quotes and choose Crown Point Clippers. David was very easy to work with and explained fully the removal process. David and his team showed up right on time and promptly began working. His workers consistently hussled while removing cut limbs and were careful to protect my house from the limbs during the cutting and removal. The trimmers seemed very experienced in the trees and guiding workers on the ground for safety. David was on site and always avalible to answer questions and make sure things were done right. The quote David gave me was in line and competitive with the other bids. The work was done with percision and a scencerity to make the process smooth and clean start to finish. I can recommend them highly to you. read more

Crown Point Clippers Tree Service company is incredible. They have been doing our trees for a few years, and it is not an easy project, from giant palms to vast birds of paradise, large bamboo, and more. David is incredibly communicative and kind. The crew has always been friendly, professional, open to feedback, and incredibly mindful of the details (especially during clean-up). I couldn't be more impressed with this company and will use the year after year as tree service companies are all over the place, but this one is pretty special. I strongly recommend it. If you need your trees done, call Crown Point, they are amazing! read more

Today my big ficus tree was trimmed by Emili and his crew. I am so pleased with how much they trimmed back and the clean up was superb. I've hired other tree services that trimmed far less for the same price. I will definitely hire them again. Very professional ! read more

These guys were great. They showed up on time and got the job done. They were fast, thourough, and friendly. I had 12 Queen palms trimmed.They cleaned up completely and were out of here in less than two hours. This is the second time I have used their service and it will not be the last time. read more

I used Crown Point Clippers multiple times in the last 10 years. Pretty basic work of trimming a palm and rubber tree. Had them do a Juniper once. At first, totally responsive and did a good job. In one of their earlier visits they snapped a primary branch on young tangerine tree pretty bad. I was able to save it and just let it go. On a later visit, I had them trim a Juniper tree. Not only did they do a horrible job (trimmed but looked really bad) but they also managed to kill a 4 in 1 specialty tree I had (2 peach, 2 nectarine) and didn't bother to mention it. I assume a piece of the Juniper fell on it and snapped it. It was an accident, I get it, but they left a nub and didn't say anything. After reaching out to complain, we worked it out and arranged for the next Palm/Rubber trimming at no additional cost. Not a good track record but I'm loyal and gave them the benefit of the doubt despite a pretty poor track record. Reached out again this year and after a bit of a delay I finally got a text response. Went back and forth with Ken, providing old quotes and detailing what I wanted. Came to an agreement on the work/price and then Ken just ghosted me when I tried to set a date. Followed up a week later and never received a response. If they told me they were too busy and my job was too small, that would have been better than ghosting me. Got a quote from Angel Tree Service. He responded the same day and did the work almost immediately. He didn't harm any other trees while doing the work. I look forward to hiring him again and again. read more

Solely based on customer service... Absolutely terrible experience. Tried for months to get them to trim a tree, never called back, everytime I called they just gave me the runaround. Don't waste your time, its too important. read more

Crown Point Clippers did a really quality job cutting down a 60 foot eucalyptus tree in our front yard! They also ground the stump down to the ground and you can't even tell it was there now. David and his team were so easy to work with, very responsive, they are insured and their prices were very reasonable. David and his team hauled everything away and all of this happened while my husband and I were at work - so we just came back to a beautiful clean yard with no tree. We highly recommend Crown Point Clippers for any tree work you might have. read more

First time using Crown Point Clippers. After a few back and forths with the office to schedule, we finally picked a date. They arrived on time. They explained how, where and why they would trim the tree back. The job was done quickly and professionally. They also cleaned up the entire front lawn leaving no evidence behind. I will be using them again for sure and I highly recommend their services. Thank you Crown Point Clippers! read more

The whole process was smooth and successful. Estimate, scheduling, preparation and removal of tree and all debris. Fantastic really. Reasonable pricing and good execution. Can't ask for more. read more

Requested a quote from David by message. He responded immediately and quoted a good price. Called the office to schedule the appointment. Left a message w/the receptionist for David to call me back. Day went by, no call. Called again, the next day and told the receptionist he hadn't called me back. She verified my info was correct and said she'd immediately contact him and tell him to return my call. He never did. read more

Staff: Professional, Friendly, Courteous. When I called to request a quote they sent out someone to view and assess the project. They were on time, friendly, and said that a follow up email quotation would be provided. Pricing: They were competitive. I found a cheaper company but that company never followed through and I just don't have time to deal with flakey people. So I called Crown Point and set up a time to get the job done. The Job: Three guys came early in the morning and worked away. They moved our pool furniture around, BBQ, as to not get it damaged. There was a guy in each tree, and there was a lot of work to cover. By the time I came back home to see the finished product I was very happy. Challenge: We had a slight problem that needed to be resolved a couple of weeks later. I emailed the company and I received two emails from staff and owner immediately. They worked with us to make sure that everything was good and that we were happy. Conclusion: Job well done. When we ran into trouble they took accountability and committed to resolving it. I was very impressed with how our business was handled. The Yelp ratings are 100% deserved. Good job Crown Point Clippers! read more

David Hingeley (the owner) and his crew were great! David showed up when he said he would and gave us a very competitive bid for our Carrotwood Tree. One week later his crew was here and they were all wearing masks (which was impressive during these covid times). They were friendly, professional, and very respectful of our property. His crew covered all our irrigation and landscape lights with trash cans so they wouldn't be damaged. The tree looked perfect when they were done, and everything was cleaned up as if nobody had ever been here. Also important, his employees are fully insured. I will definitely hire Crown Point Clippers Tree Service again. read more

David came by for the consultation & we decided to go w/CPC for the job bc of good Yelp reviews, and also he gave us a reasonable quote. On the day of the job, the crew came on time. They were very friendly, polite, and respectful. David had told the crew that we had a jacuzzi nearby so they brought necessary stuff to cover it from any damage. They also helped to put a tarp over our parked car. Francisco climbed the tree on the backside so the boot markings were more hidden. They also asked me how much I wanted off/leave on, allowing me to customize the look I wanted on my trees. They were quick to remove the branches to the shredder machine, raked up my yard of any leftover parts, and neatly cleaned up all the debris. I must say that my experience w/CPC is unlike some of the other reviews. David is very responsive to emails. When I call, my messages get delivered. If you are expecting there to be no debris/dust from the removal of your trees by a saw and for them to clean up every inch, then I do think that's an unreasonable expectation. I also would recommend closing your windows, courtesy notice to your neighbors beforehand, voicing your concerns or desires, asking questions, etc. I personally think this is common sense. I couldn't be more satisfied w/the work CPC did for us. I truly appreciate it so much!! I will be recommending CPC to our neighbors and anyone we know who needs tree services. read more

We have used CPC in the past and will continue to use them. David Hingeley's crew is courteous and hard working. They removed a 20 foot Aloe tree, 30 foot toxic Cactus, a couple of palm trees along with grinding the stumps. They did an excellent job and cleaned up thoroughly. You'd almost never knew they were there. They are licensed and insured. I'd highly recommend them. read more

By Thursday of that week, they had come out and removed the tree while my husband and I were at work. They did such a wonderful job, and the yard was extremely clean, with no sign of a 25 foot tree ever being there by the time they were done. There was nothing left but a small stump, no debris, leaves or branches. We were amazed at how quickly they had gotten the job done and at the pristine condition they had left our yard in. I recommend their business to anyone who needs immediate and inexpensive tree removal. I would definitely call them again. A couple of weeks later, all the other company's I sent an inquiry too are contacting me regarding my tree. This is a testament to how great Crown Point Clippers is as a company. Don't even bother with all the others out there. Crown Point Clippers is the perfect choice. read more
