I needed a hedge removed, and although price was very high I said okay because he'd do it next day. He also said he'd return if hedge started to grow back- which it did. I called for followup, he said he'd be there next morning; I waited, called back, he never came back. I feel that the stump should have been treated as soon as hedge was cut down, and it obviously was not. Wish I'd gotten other estimates before going ahead, my mistake. read more

I've used Malama Tree Care twice now with great results. Orrin takes the time to explain what's best for the tree being trimmed. He and his crew did a great job. Very professional and made sure the site was cleaned up before leaving. I highly recommend them. read more

I called to request a quote and they arranged for an inspection in a timely fashion. After the inspection, I got no response. I reached out two more times and got no answer at all. read more

There's an unknown berry tree in the backyard, Orrin and the Malama Tree Care crew did excellent work of trimming, pruning the tree to the height of one story house. I wasn't home, the job look professional and efficient. Thank you very much! Recommended read more

My husband and I were looking to have our large mango tree trimmed and 2 smaller (ficus & avocado) trees removed. We read the few reviews of this venue and decided to call and schedule a date / time to meet, assess our needs/requests and obtain an estimate. We were impressed that Orrin (owner) contacted us almost immediately and scheduled to come to our house in 2 days! Unfortunately, if you are seriously looking to have tree trimming or any related services done, contacting Malama Tree Care may be a waste of your time! During his visit Orrin exhibited a very friendly, enthusiastic, tree-caring / knowledge personality. We were sold on his knowledge of tree care and told him we wanted to hire him! Sadly, this is where everything went downhill. We provided dates over a 3 week period that fit our schedule and asked if he could select one that would be mutually convenient. We NEVER received any proposed date despite multiple one-sided texts asking if he was still interested... finally received a response from Orrin saying "yes" he WAS STILL interested and would start the "wheels-in-motion"... getting the permit on Wednesday, then he'd call us after obtaining it on Wednesday. We NEVER received any further communications from Orrin. The time span from our first meeting to "no response/communication" ... was more than 4 weeks. The lack of professionalism, commitment, responsibility and basic consideration was very disappointing! If there was a change in his decision to accept our job due to, 1) our job being too big for his company to handle, 2) his schedule being too busy and 3) lack of organizational skills or 4) inability to obtain the permit... professional courtesy should have been shown by informing us. A lot of wasted time and frustration could have been prevented with a more mature, professional attitude & follow up. read more

Came out to give me a quote on a tree removal on a tree I believed needed to be removed immediately. I was informed that the tree did not require immediate removal but was given a quote I believed to be fair. He also provided some other recommendations. I will look to use his services after avacado season. read more

Orrin and company were very responsive in coming out to give us an estimate for removing five trees from our backyard. He seem knowledgeable, competent and easy to work with. He gave us a competitive bid and promptly scheduled the work for just a few days later. His crew was polite, professional and friendly. They did a great job, including being very thorough in removing the root systems in addition to the trees. Many large rocks were embedded in the base and roots of the trees. In order to grind the tree stumps, Orrin's team broke down the rocks and removed them at no additional cost. When everything was done, they cleaned up and left our yard looking better than when they arrived. We would definitely recommend Malama Tree Care and will use them again in the future when needed. read more

Unfortunately, after a great start helping me w/free suggestions, he never followed through. Two calls unanswered and then when I finally got him he said to call HIM back because he was so busy. Hey, I already called twice Orin? His referred yard trim clean up guy never returns me calls either. I wasted a lot of time and really wanted to hire him but he just never followed through! read more

We were looking at pruning our mango and jabong trees. Excellent service and work. Orrin is wonderful and gave us a ton of advice on care for the trees too. He is also certified. No pressure sales. Pruning to create a lower canopy so it will be easier to pick mangos in the future. They did not trim it to the point of being barren too. He really showed his knowledge and concern for the trees. They also cleaned up taking all the debris with them even blowing all the dust too. We will definitely continue to use Malama Trees in the future and highly recommend them to everyone. read more

A couple of years ago before the pandemic, Orrin gave us solid advice on what to do with our old mango tree that needed trimming and reviving. We did not want it hacked like we see other mango trees get cut. Orrin recommended trimming in a thoughtful way and to bring in high grade compost soil. We followed his advice and his crew did a great trim job and brought in the compost. Our tree and the grass around it have been revived and since last year started to produce more fruit than the couple years before the trim, when we thought it was on its way out. Our grandfather tree lives! read more

Orrin and his crew were awesome! He came out to check out our old mango tree that hasn't produced any fruit in a few years. He talked with us about tree care and what we can do to help it thrive! He truly cares about trees and educated my family and I about how we can take better care of our trees and ground. They ended up coming to do some mild pruning and delivering a truckload of nice compost. The service was quick and efficient. If you care about your home and are interested in learning more about how to care for it would highly recommend! read more

When it comes to caring for your garden small or large, Malama Tree Care is the business to call! My mother needed our huge lychee tree trimmed since it was becoming too much of a hassle to handle on our own. I called Malama Tree Care to help us out. They were prompt when we requested a quote and were available to come to the house at a convenient time that worked for us. They were on time, efficient, took care of all the mess (which I think is a worry for anyone hiring a trimming service, but they left no rubbish and no worries!), and did a really awesome job. Above all, the staff is very professional, friendly, and worked very hard. I appreciate their perfect customer service. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Orrin and his wonderful team are efficient and hard-working. Very friendly and trustworthy people who know what they're doing!! I recommend them to all my friends. read more

Orrin and his crew are professional - courteous - and hard working. I saw them working on my neighbors trees - asked them for a quote to remove two Manilla Palms and to grind out the stump - quoted great price. They cut the two palms down at end of the day, ground out the stump next morning and cleaned up the remaining debris. I am extremely picky and usually disappointed in end results, but Malama Tree Care provided outstanding service - I highly recommend them! read more

Malama Tree Care is efficient, friendly, affordable, and capable, and Orrin is a total pro. He answered our call and scheduled to come assess our property and needs in the same day. He noticed things that have been nagging us about our citrus trees - why are they yellowing? (Chlorosis, that's why.) He told us how to rid our avocados of avo lace bugs which have voraciously attacked our mature trees this past season (Neem oil sprayed regularly every two weeks); he identified some volunteer palms (Royals), and he and his team came out as scheduled, worked amazingly quickly and thoroughly to remove four trees from our fence line in under two hours. Overall, his friendly demeanor, his thoughtfulness, and his professionalism make him a stand-out and easy to recommend to others. His dog, Chip, made the whole affair pretty fun, actually! I look forward to him and his crew coming back after they have their new spider lift to get some hard to reach limbs and trees down for us. Without a doubt, this young entrepreneur is going places!! Thank you, Orrin, and all the guys at Malama Tree Care! You have really impressed us. read more

Very friendly guy always willing to go the extra mile for you. Goes out of his way to accommodate and pitch in. Acts not like a business looking to just make money but a member of the community who wants to establish quality relationships and promote a positive environment. Has done several large projects for us and always does excellent work. read more

Orrin was great and easy to work with, and did a fantastic job. Will definitely hire him again when our office needs to clear trees in the future! read more

Awesome service! Quick response and quote and quick to come out to do the work. Crew was knowledgeable and was very safe. My palm trees was very heavy loaded with coconuts and I was worried about a leaning tree over the road. They started with that and safely trimmed it without any problems. All trees are nicely cut back and the clean up was immaculate! I would recommend this company and it's excellent crew to any of my friends. read more

We are here on vacation from Ohio , my daughter and I was driving around the island , which is absolutely beautiful by the way. We pulled over to get some pics and drove thru the sand and got stuck. I would like to thank the guy ( I did not get his name ) for stopping by and pulling us out. His hospitality was greatly appreciated. If it hadn't been for him we probably would have had to wait a good while on AAA to get there and may not have got to see all that we did. Unfortunately I will never be able to use this tree service but if I could I would. A BIG THANKS FROM US OHIO GIRLS. read more

I called Malama Tree Care on the recommendation of a friend. We needed to trim back a large monkeypod tree overhanging our roof and driveway. Although not inexpensive, we felt that the size of the job and technical nature of the project warranted professional care and experience. The crew clearly worked well together, communicating safety, technical skill, and good humor. We will absolutely use them again! read more

We had 3 different company look at our mango tree that needed to some trimmings, of course we got 3 different prices. Orrin at Malama tree care did not give us the lowest price that we could afford but because he made the biggest impression we chose them.. Orrin stopped by to take a look at our mango tree and showed us that he really cared and is very knowledgeable about what he does. And mostly enjoys what he does. His team showed up on the dot and was done in less than 2 hours. Besides couple mango tree leaves that he left behind ( I had to clean up after) I would recommend Orrin and his team and would likely use them again for any tree services in the near future. read more

Orrin is very knowledgeable about trees and helped us remove 31 invasive Java Plum trees. He is a great person to work with. Orrin works hard to solve your problem within your budget! He is extremely helpful and listens to all of your thoughts and concerns. Thanks to Malama Tree Care, my mind can now be at ease that all the trees on my property are safe!! I highly recommend contacting him for all of your tree needs! read more

Orin is great! The leaves on our 50-year old lychee tree were covered in black spots and turning yellow. We thought the tree needed pruning. He said that the tree didn't need pruning (turned down $!) and explained that it was caused by insects and could be cured with a special fertilizer that any hardware store would have. read more

Three people, three hours, perfect care for our giant ficus. A lot of tricky climbing and cutting and lowering of limbs was handled with expertise. Friendly crew, great experience. read more

Knowledgeable and informative. Expedient and friendly service. These are some of the words that come to mind when I think of Malama Tree Care. We had an invasive tree presenting a potential hazard to an overhead electrical line. I called Orrin for a consult and his crew addressed the issue immediately providing our family with peace of mind....they even left some mulch for the chicken coop and yard. I can't say enough about his patience with all my questions and professionalism throughout the process and would highly recommend. read more

This company offers many services but Malama Tree Care is aptly named for their excellent tree work. They "malama" and take care of trees. Orrin analyzes the condition of the tree and how to work on it based on your needs. Make no mistake. If you want the tree gone they can obliterate it safely and completely. They have done both for me with professional and friendly service. Great crew, great outcomes. read more
