Great Service and good communication throughout the process. The tree trimming exceeded expectations and came in on budget. Thanks! read more

Did a great job on our tree removal and trimming. Prompt, courteous service. Cleaned everything up afterwards.

Nestor and his crew took down three 130 foot Canary Pines in my yard. It was a massive job and his whole team was fantastic. They had to work around multiple power lines, two pools and lots of small trees and bushes. One lawn sprinkler got damaged and he showed up the next day to fix it. Amazing service!! read more

I'm surprised by the rave reviews. Nestor was quick to respond to my text for an estimate. He came out the same morning. He looked over my yard and gave an extremely great price. My dad also had him come over to do an estimate for his yard. But Nestor totally ghosted both of us when it came to showing up for the scheduled work. My dad called and Nestor's voicemail was full. I texted him and no response. It was the strangest and most unprofessional experience. We both ended up having another company do our work. read more

Based on the recommendation of a neighbor who had used them earlier this year, I asked Monticello for an estimate to remove two sycamore trees. Ivan arrived on the agreed-upon day and gave me a very competitive estimate. In addition Ivan know a lot about several varieties of trees in our neighborhood and the good and bad features of each. We set up a tentative date for the job. I checked all the concerns I have for any contractor: 1.) Written estimate. 2.) Active contractor license. 3.) Workers Comp insurance. 4.) Bonded. 100% OK in all areas. (Check State Contractors License Board for yourself.) On the day of the job, Monticello showed up promptly at 8:00 am with three trucks. The equipment appeared to be heavy duty and well-maintained. The crew of 6 all wore hard hats, hearing and vision protection and got right to work. They quickly located the owner of a car in their way so it could be moved. In less than 90 minutes the two trees had gone through their chipper and the remote-control stump grinder had reduced the stumps to a pile of chips. I'll have to say that the entire crew really hustled and appeared to be enjoying their work. The big plus here was that even though the trees had been planted right next to a fenced-in back yard about 15 years ago--they were large trees--no cut limbs were allowed to fall into the fenced-in area; no one had to enter the yard at all to retrieve any branches. Overall I have only good things to say about Monticello Tree Service! read more

I observed Monticello tree cutters working near my home. I asked if they could give me an estimate for a large tree leaning over from the creek bank behind my home, which was leaning toward my shop building. They came over after completing their work at the nearby residence. They gave me an estimate immediately and returned the next day to cut critical branches away from the tree. The creek was several feet below, so they strung rope to position themselves in the tree, above the creek for the cutting. They cleaned up everything afterwards. I thought the workers were friendly and knowledgeable in their profession. I felt the price was fair. I would recommend them and hire them again. read more

Nestor has always done a high quality job (and a very fair price)?for my family and my parents. Would recommend him in the future, and use his services when necessary ! The Hawley Family read more

We called on Monticello Tree Service to trim two of our trees, after reading some positive reviews online. We got a quote from them the next day after scheduling and were able to schedule the actual tree trimming about a month later. They did a beautiful job and were very reasonable. Would recommend! read more

I was given a very good estimate to cut down and dispose of two trees that were blocking my new Solar Panels. After getting some more not so good estimates, I contacted Monticello and scheduled the service. The guys came on time at 8 am, estimated what had to be done, and went right to work. They finished before noon. They used a chipper on their truck to get rid of the waste. They cleaned up the area and left it looking better than when they arrived. GREAT JOB! I highly recommend this company for any tree removal read more

I had him take care of the trees in my front yard last year. He did amazing work! I called him back this year for the trees in my backyard, I'm sure he and his crew will exceed my expectations yet again! Let's not forget he has the best prices in the area and is prompt to respond!!! read more

Thanks to Nestor and his crew! Nestor quickly responded to my Yelp message and provided me with a great quote when I sent him pictures. He committed to coming arriving Monday morning at 730. His crew arrived early, were very professional, were careful to not impose our trimmings on any neighbors and cleaned up by even sweeping trimmings out of our pool and blowing leaves away. Great service! We will see you again next summer when the trees will need another trim. (Attached before and after photos) read more

Montecello Tree Service removed several trees at my house and at my daughter's house. They chipped and removed all debris and ground the stumps to below soil level. I found their skill in climbing trees, and safely lowering limbs to the ground amazing and entertaining. read more

Nestor is now Monticello Tree Service, but still the best service and price. Nestor and his crew just trimmed several trees for us today and what a difference! They took their time to do a great job and cleaned up the yard after. We have used Nestor for several years and highly recommend him. read more

I'm really pleased with the tree pruning and stump grinding services provided by Nestor's crew! They cleaned it all up...looks great! Fair prices, prompt service...I talked with him this morning. He came over, gave an estimate, then got his guys here this afternoon! The tree looks great! They cleaned it all up! You'd never know they were here! SUPER HAPPY! I will be recommending them! I even posted about their work on social media! Thank you!!! read more

They responded right away and did a great job! We had two tree stumps removed. They were quick and efficient. I will definitely call them again in the future! read more

What a difference a year makes. My initial encounter with Nestor one year ago went smoothly. He was responsive, showed up on time, and did great work. One year later, not so good. I called yesterday and spoke to Nestor about a small tree to be removed. He said he would be out the next day, no problem since it was small. I sent Nestor my address per his request along with pics of small tree. Asked what time he planned to arrive. No response. This morning I called at 9:30am to see when he planned to arrive. He said 2-3pm. It's now 4:30pm. No call. No response to my text and his VM box is full. Not the way to run a business in its infancy. I will go elsewhere. What a shame. read more

If you are interested in professional, careful, conscientious, and efficient tree service, Nestor Hernandez is the person to call. Nestor and his crew skillfully and quickly removed two dead trees in the parking strip, trimmed the redwood ash in the back yard, and removed another tree. read more

Very unprofessional. We have scheduled with them to trim the oak trees but they didn't show up on that day. Never heard from them again.

I contacted Nestor through Yelp! And he responded within 24 hours. Came over the same day. Grinded down the stumps causing no damage to any of my property, and cleaned up after. Took a mere 45 minutes or so. Charged a very reasonable price in comparison to other companies. I've attached a picture of the equipment he uses and before/after photos. I would recommend his services. read more

These fellas are wonderful. On-time, very efficient, cautious of their surroundings, good clean-up and finished in half the time I planned for. I cannot recommend these folks enough, EXCELLENT! read more

Nice guys, great service. Good prices. Trust Monticello tree service to get the job done.

I wrote the original review about four years ago, and assumed Nestor and his crew removed the tree stump correctly. They didn't. Apparently they didn't go down the recommended two feet, and left much of the stump intact. Over the next few years, the pearless pear tree returned as a giant thorny shrub that grew like a weed. Even after taking a chainsaw to the shrub and injecting poison into the stump, new sprouts appeared every day. Finally I hired a different tree service that not only went down the required two feet, but gave me a personal guarantee that if I ever see sprouts again, they'd return and dig out any sprouts again at no charge. I don't like to revise my review to fewer stars but, simply put, Monticello Tree Service did not take care of the problem I hired them to take care of. read more

Nestor and his Crew are awesome they were on time, very professional and the price was unbeatable. If you are looking for a tree company look no further you won't be disappointed. read more

We had Monticello Tree Service out a few years ago and they did a great job. Not so this time. The team was late, did a rushed job, and raced off leaving a big mess behind. Nestor said they would return and clean up but they never did, despite repeated messages from us. I'll be charitable and say perhaps they are overextended? We ended up having to clean up ourselves (we are old) and have big piles of debris stacked in the street because there has been no green waste pickup for two months. read more

I don't get my trees trimmed often. So I looked on yelp and called a couple of people, including Nestor. He came out and gave me a very good price. His knowledge of trees was excellent and I could tell he cares about quality. Today he did our 35' tree while I was at work. I came home and it was transformed. Even better, there wasn't anything for me to clean up. Great company and service! read more

Got Nestor's name from my gardener who had been using his services the past 4 years. Nestor was friendly, honest about what could be done with my 4 trees on my property and my neighbor's trees overhanging my house. All other tree services were only able to trim back the lower branches of my neighbor's 30 feet redwoods but Nestor and his team was able to climb up and cut back all the branches so they didn't hang over my roof. Did a great job re-shaping and thinning out my other trees that I thought were over-grown and needed to be cut down. Prices were more than reasonable. read more

I love this arborist company. Nestor and his team have trimmed our trees multiple times. Nestor and his team are amazing at what they do and always so kind, easy to work with, and have great follow through with their promises. Wouldn't hire anyone else to help us read more

Quick responses, free estimation. Great service, good communication, reasonable price. Nestor and his crew did very good job. Highly recommended!!! read more

Monticello Tree Service aka Nestor Hernandez Tree Care WAS my go to tree service company for a couple of years. Their team would come and trim my palm trees in the back yearly. They also completed a (major) tree trimming of my front ornamental tree. However, most recently I have made two appointments with Nestor and he's been a NO-SHOW both times! I had made time out of my busy schedule to accommodate his schedule and both times I was stood up! Not even a phone call to apologize or reschedule. NOTHING! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Won't be calling or recommending him to others anymore. There are many other tree trimming companies in the area to give my business to for my properties. read more

Super fast response, friendly, professional and affordable. Monticello was great. I'll be recommending them to my friends and neighbors.

We've had a massive palm tree that we've been planning to get rid of. These guys gave us an incredible quote compared to competitors that we could not pass up. The guys worked fast & efficient and responded to a few small requests we had at the time of job. 5 stars all around & will definitely use again when we need tree care in the future. Thanks Hernandez family & crew read more

I wish I can give him 5 stars but I cant. Nestor is really bad at communicating. Takes for ever to answer. Sorry I tried to hire him but took my business elsewhere read more

Update to previous review. Nester left a hand written note on my door explaining he had a family emergency to attend and apologized for not showing up to our appointment. He came over a couple of days later and took care of the tree trimming with his crew. They did a great job. read more

I had a tree trimmed by Nestor. Coordinating the work was easy and quick. He arrived and did the work and cleaned up. The price was right. He's my guy from now on! read more

Nestor and team are professional and take Care of business safely and efficiently. No matter the size or shape of the tree they will take it down and grind the stumps. Highly recommend for anyone in this area who needs any type of tree care or vegetation management! read more

Nestor gave us a great quote and did the work for my father the next day. He identified a problem tree (that was going to damage the driveway) and quoted on that one too. My father was thrilled with his promptness and professionalism. His prices are very fair too. read more

Nestor and his team are great! The price I was quoted was better then most. Nestor explain to me what he would do and it was done right.

The neighbors behind me used Nestor Hernandez Tree Care to trim their trees. While we were away at work, without our permission, Nestor's crew entered our property by breaking into our gate, moved our BBQ, plants, and pet items and left trash and a water bottle behind in our yard. They left the gate unlocked when they left, which could have been a hazard for my dog and cat which use my yard. There was not even a note saying that they had entered our yard, much less broken into it. Nestor's crew led my neighbor to believe we were home and had given permission for them to enter which we did NOT. I tried to contact Nestor, but I could not leave a voicemail because his voicemail is full. We have contacted the police about this matter. I would also like to update that based on our neighbors description, the debris that fell on our side of the property did not pose an immediate hazard or an emergency. To respond to Nestor's comments: We left home at 7:30 AM. We never heard a knock between 7 and 7:30. It is not unreasonable for people to be at work on a weekday during those hours. No attempt was made to contact us outside of that. Again, from my neighbors description, the material on my side of the fence was deemed not dangerous and just minor debris. It is illegal to break and enter onto someone's property without permission. You violated our home. read more

Nestor and his crew are absolutely amazing. The took down three 65 foot redwoods from my backyard in one morning and they did it for half what anyone else would do it for. I will definitely be using them for all my trees in the future! read more
