My homeowner's insurance sent me a notice of non-renewal due to trees too close to the house…read more(Wawanesa). This is happening a lot in Los Angeles because of the recent fires. I was very reluctant to have tree trimmers on the property again because some years ago I was sued when a worker was injured and his company refused to take care of him, so as the homeowner, I was on the hook. In crazy California, that's how it goes. Glad I had good insurance and didn't want to lose it. I did my research and found Pineda's tree care. Ernesto called and texted, came by and gave a very good estimate and even said he'd include removing a roof-high weed tree that had grown up along the rear of the house that the insurance hadn't even mentioned. Ernesto and a team of about 5 guys showed up the next day and I was very happy they were all outfitted with the proper safety equipment, including headgear. Very professional. They worked quickly, and well coordinated - obviously these guys had been working together for a while. In just a few hours they had a 40-foot overgrown pepper tree and an overgrown Juniper and the weed tree done and pulverized and the area cleaned! My wife works from home and she wasn't even disrupted! Their chain-saws were surprisingly quiet. If you need tree trimming or removal please call Ernesto. Very good man; He communicates very well, is responsive, and has a great efficient team. You really can't ask for more than that so no need to look anywhere else. Thanks, Ernesto, for the great Job! Hopefully, I won't have to think about trees again for a long time !

I have used Natural Wonders Tree's for several years after they were recommended by a certified…read morearborist. Their professionalism is top-notch. Juan Bautista, one of the owners, is a certified arborist himself, and he has an app that he shows you when he gives an estimate so that you can agree on exactly where the pruning will be done. He wants the trees to be healthy. So even when I thought that one of my fig trees should be cut down by a third, he canceled against any new cuts because it could damage the tree. Even though he could have made money by doing it. Edgar, his crew chief, is a certified climber.That is reassuring when tree work can be dangerous. Their cleanup is immaculate.

Interestingly, I submitted this review to Yelp in January 2026 and it disappeared…read more The quality of communication within Natural Wonders Trees' departments, and from them to client, has unfortunately declined recently. I've hired them several times over the past few years. From 2022 through 2025, after a qualified arborist met with me to discuss tree trimming needs and to give me a quote, he'd stop by during and/or after the work was being done by the field crew, to assure both himself and me it was being done according to plan. Also from 2022 through 2025, the office would give me the name of the foreman who'd be coming to my home with the work crew, and the foreman would introduce himself to me on arrival so I'd know whom I could talk to if I had any concerns (especially since most of the work crew don't speak English), and the foreman would come and tell me when they were finished so we could look over the work together. When I had Natural Wonders trim several large trees in January 2026, 1) I never saw the arborist (Juan) after I'd accepted the quote, even though I emailed the office and asked if he could please stop by. 2) On neither day of the two days' work did any of the workers introduce himself to me, nor act like he was in charge. The only communication I received from the workmen was a random one of the workmen telling me 'we finish tomorrow' at quitting time on Tuesday, and 'we finish' on Wednesday. Appreciated, but I never knew who was foreman, nor whom I could speak English to. 3) When the work was extended into a second day, I received an email from the office saying that Juan (the arborist) and "#3" would be there the next day. Juan wasn't there, and the office let me know after the fact that 'Alex' had been the foreman; but I didn't have any idea which of the several workmen that day was Alex. 4) Since when Juan originally came by to give me the quote, he mentioned that they'd have to clean up in the yard of a neighbor whose yard my trees' branches hang over. So I'd touched base with her to let her know. When they quit at 4 pm on the Tuesday, they told her that they'd be by at 8 am the next day. But they actually did not have the next day scheduled yet. When the office emailed me later Tuesday afternoon, they told me the next team would be there about 1 pm on Wednesday. But meanwhile my neighbor was staying home to let them in since 8 am that day, and texted me at noon to let me know that they were no-shows. When I mentioned this to the team who showed up at my house on the Wednesday afternoon, they said "we didn't know our schedules yet." Okay, so the Tuesday team should NOT have given my neighbor such a specific time to expect them on Wednesday, if they didn't know their schedules yet! They could have said something like "we don't know tomorrow's schedule yet, but the office will email Stephanie later today, and you can check with her." If they didn't know enough English for that, they could have asked the foreman for help translating (the foremen are partially chosen for their skill in speaking English). Juan (the arborist) called me a few days after I originally submitted a Yelp review; they were (apparently) notified by Yelp of my concerns above (and my January review never appeared on Yelp). He thanked me profusely for sharing my concerns, and he expressed surprise that there had been a different foreman on each of the 2 days; he said the office should have notified him. He also emphasized that the office never let him know that I'd requested for him to stop by on the second day. So to be clear, my concern is NOT that Juan fell down on the job; my concern is that the office did not communicate well with me or with Juan, and the foremen did not communicate with me, and the Tuesday team gave misinformation to my neighbor. Have they gotten too busy to be able to give individual attention to good repeat clients? When the work affects not only the beauty of my home but the safety of myself and my neighbors, and is costing me several thousand dollars per service, I would really appreciate the office providing clearer communication with me and more careful oversight of the job, like they used to.

Mike at All About Trees has been our arborist for over 25 years. He and his crew are reliable,…read morehardworking, knowledgeable and very professional. Today we had 3 very large pine trees trimmed and our greatest concern is always the furry friends that call these trees home. Other tree companies may scoff, but Mike understands and his crew always look before they cut. We greatly appreciate this. We also wanted to save branches to use in landscape around our yard. We've seen this at various So Cal parks and arboretums and like the way it adds to the "woodsy" feeling to the flora. The guys not only were courteous about this, they also regularly checked to see if we wanted any of the saved branches trimmed. Some yes, but some long ones will get a special arrangement and the guys helped haul those to a separate staging area. Aside from the 3 very large pines, we had cypress, juniper and a "smaller", juvenile pine we needed trimmed and "tipped." The juniper has a draping privacy aspect to a side patio Hubs was thinking of clearing out, but after walking through and cutting as Hubs pointed, we had a nicely sculpted, shorter drape w/dead branches cleaned out and perfect clearance from the house. The additional pine needed to be clear of a property line, but we also are working towards a particular shape with that tree, since it's young. The crew understood everything, communication was great and Hubs is happy with the results. If you are in need of an excellent, licensed, bonded, professional crew - that has been working together for over 20 years! - call All about trees. Valerie will answer and get you on Mike's calendar for an estimate. Tell them "CC" sent you. Cheers! "CC"

In just one day (seven hours!), their crew pulled off a complete overhaul. They trimmed the long hedge that borders the property, shaped up all the bushes, pruned the palm trees, and even removed a giant cactus that was taking over. They didn't just focus on the big stuff either -- they took care of all the debris, cleaned everything up beautifully, and even cleared out some overflow that had crept into my neighbor's yard. Total pros. The price was very reasonable, especially for the amount of work they tackled. The team was fast, respectful, and clearly knew what they were doing.

Gotta love Tino and A Cut Above Tree Service!…read more I needed to cut down pine trees and trim palms and trim an oak. Tino was quickly available for a on-site estimate. I liked that he gives deals for paying in cash and that I got a written estimate. He and his team are very detailed. They cut the palm trees to my specific liking (3 leaves remaining on each palm). When his team came, it was a big crew who got the job done on about 2 days. I love that they cheered as they worked, it was such a positive vibe. One very important thing is that they take safety very seriously. Safety of the working team, the customers, and the property. Everyone wore so much PPE. And every ladder used had a spotter. I greatly appreciate that Tino is with his team the whole time and he'll ask me to check and see if things are to my liking before he deems them complete. We did hit a pause because 2 of the tree trunks are near a street light. So we needed to see where the electricity runs. I tried call the city and LADWP, but it turns out what's needed is a dig alert. Tino opened a dig alert ticket. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for the city to draw the lines to the street light. It's definitely no fault of Tino and I appreciate that he wants to do things safely. So, to be continued! I'd highly recommend A Cut Above, they live up to their name!

So now I am uploading late review. This is my 2nd review with Father and Son company. Last year, I had to remove all trees on my hillside due to my downhill neighbor's complain. It was not small job because there were a lot of dead trees on the hillside. My budget was limited and tight. I called Melesio and explained my situation, asking senior discount and most affordable estimates for me to avoid any hassle with my downhill neighbor. Melesio treated me like his mother and understood my situation, gave me affordable estimate with senior discount! He did cut and trim down all dead or grown up trees on the hillside for 2 days. No more complaint from downhill neighbor. Without his affordable estimate for me, I probably was in trouble with my downhill neighbor. Many thanks to Melesio and his team. I highly recommend this company.
