Robin and her team are EXQUISITE. And I don't use that word often. We had massive tree trimming needs after buying our house that had not had its trees trimmed in years - 9 trees total (2 palms, 4 olives, a pepper tree, and a few very large elms). From start to finish Robin was a pleasure to work with. She stopped by in person to evaluate the state of the trees and make great recommendations. She also took videos and took notes so she could relay her exact vision to her team that would be trimming the trees. Her team was also amazing. They cranked out this massive job in a single day and were super easy to work with and very efficient. Honestly couldn't believe how fast they worked and how great everything looks. At the end of the project the team shared pictures and spoke with Robin on the phone so she could ensure she was happy with how everything turned out. She even called out a few things that could be improved and they took care of it before they left. The cost was also very reasonable--and I check out 5 different vendors. They are a premium service that doesn't feel overpriced. I could not recommend Robin and her team more when it comes to tree/land services. Thank you again Robin and team! read more

This is the best tree cutting company I've ever used for my decades old magnolia tree. They arrived on time, and started working at eight in the morning. They really listened to my request to cut the canopy back. The lead man cutting made the whole tree look symmetrical and more beautiful than it's ever looked in years. He was fast and efficient and climbed all through the tree and lowered limbs carefully by ropes. His cleanup crew picked up debris and everything was taken to the curbside to be shredded later. The whole company is very well run and super efficient. They get my highest recommendation. read more

They were knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and went above and beyond to help me better understand the situation and my options. It is clear they care about helping people, not just getting the job. I was very impressed with their approach and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and trustworthy tree company. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Robin Hilton Land and Tree. They trimmed our huge pine tree efficiently and with real care -- taking extra time to make sure nothing was damaged, including our fence. The whole job was done professionally from start to finish, and they cleaned up thoroughly afterward (you'd never know major tree work had just happened). Best of all, the price was very reasonable for the quality of work. Reliable, careful, and respectful of our property -- we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will absolutely use them again. read more

2/16/2026 - It's been raining for the last 2 hours and Robin Hilton's team never blinked. They kept working, and in spite of the weather, did a magnificent job of removing trees, shaping others and cleaning up when finished. These people are the best. They are personable, efficient, safe, and punctual. We have been satisfied customers of her company for many years and will never use another service. Thanks Robin. You did it again! read more

This company told me from the get-go that they could write me a letter identifying the points about the trees that I requested, something within the scope of what an arborist should be able to do. Instead, they strung me along and ultimately decided they did not want to get involved. And, as Yelp readers can see, took a very, very long time to respond to my Yelp post. You can see the pattern in how they delay, delay and delay getting back to customers and only reinforces my justification for a negative Yelp review. read more

Robin Hilton and her team are outstanding. Amanda provided a prompt, clear proposal, and Robin made scheduling easy and convenient. Adrian and his crew were punctual, professional, and incredibly skilled. They safely removed a large ash tree in just one day--while others quoted three. Excellent work, great communication, and a spotless cleanup. Highly recommend. read more

Robin's team did an excellent job pruning our massive Italian stone pine tree, citrus trees, giant bird of paradise, and palm trees. Her team communicated throughout the day, completed the work in a timely manner, and did a great job cleaning up. They were easy to work with on the bid and scheduling the work. This was our second time using her company and we will continue to do so. Highly recommend this company! Thank you! read more

This is the second time we've used Robin Hilton. We really appreciate that they ask and then listen when we go over details. Their crews are efficient, fast and knowledgable. One of our concerns was blight transfer between trees. They handle this by throughly sterilizing their tools as the move from tree to tree. The clean up was literally perfect. They were able to restore the shape of our overgrown olive tree. They handled the Toyons perfectly, and worked around some rare and delicate plants under the trees with extra care. We will continue to recommend them to our friends, and use them again when it's time for the next trim. read more

I rarely post reviews, but I highly recommend this company for your tree services. Chelsea provided me with a written quote (the only company that did so), accommodated my requests, and was flexible with scheduling. The crew showed up on time, and cleaned up everything when they were done. read more

Great Service! Three guys showed up on time and efficiently trimmed 5 of my 20 foot tall palm trees. They were very friendly and polite. Not only did the cut off the ugly parts, they "sculpted" the fat bark to smooth everything out. I will definitely use them again. A well oiled tree cutting machine! read more

Had my 2 redwoods thinned and laced out. Robin's team showed up with climbers, all the equipment, and a ground crew to protect the landscaping below. It was a great experience, and I would hire them again! read more

8/11/2025: My 2nd experience with Robin Hilton's crew and they did a magnificent job on my yard. Crew was courteous and friendly, and hard working. They went above and beyond in taking care of everything promised, and left with everything immaculate and clean. Highly recommended! read more

The crew showed up and got to work right away and worked hard all day. They stacked the wood where I wanted to keep it and ground out the stump so that I would never know the tree was there. They were very professional... They checked in with me to make sure I was happy with the process along the way. They cleaned up very nicely. I would use them again and I recommend them highly read more

Robin and her team did an amazing job on a 100 foot tall and very wide Torrey pine tree. The tree was massive and was hanging over two homes on a steep incline. The team took great care when navigating my neighbor's property and did a great clean up - especially on the neighbor's side. They did the whole job safely and with great care. Can't say enough about how professional they were during a long 10 hour day. Highly recommend them. read more

We had a large Canary Island palm tree that had to be removed because it was infested with the South American palm weevil. The crew from Robin Hilton Land and Tree Company (including Adrian and Elio) was very professional, hard-working, and super nice. The tree was on the edge of our small backyard, and was efficiently removed with no issues. Both our yard and the neighbor's yard were left clean. We are sad to lose the tree, but the removal was a great experience. read more

This was our first experience with the Robin Hilton Land and Tree Company and it won't be our last. We appreciated Robin's prompt follow-up on providing a detailed and typewritten bid.

We are very pleased with the company and the service they provided!!! read more

This was my first time using Robin's tree service and they did an amazing job! I got a few bids for the project and they were very competitive in pricing. The team was very professional, ​organized, and did such a good job of cleaning up after trimming the tree. I've never had a tree service company clean up the debris as well as they did ​leaving my backyard looking great.​ I'm also an animal lover and why wouldn't I want to use a good tree service company who is also so dedicated and involved in rescuing animals as Del Mar Dog Rescue! You just can't go wrong! read more

Amazing service! Robin and her team communicate very well and treat you with a personal touch. She came for an in-person estimate and went through the work we needed done in detail and with genuine care to ensure all was covered. Her quoted rate was highly competitive. We had compared her to four other businesses by request through Yelp. It was an easy choice with the combination of price, care, and communication from Robin and team. If you are looking for honest and great work done (big or small) I highly recommend contacting them. A+++ (P.S. she also runs Del Mar Dog Rescue. A business for a great cause). read more

I wanted to work with a local company and Robin was responsive and provided a reasonable value for the work I needed completed. We exchanged a few emails and then we arranged to have one large tree removed and stump grinding, and pruning of 2 large palms Queen and Bird of Paradise. They sent a team of 3 to start the process and an additional 4 for the clean up. They communicated well the process and were receptive to my requests. They also help clean up excessive debris in the neighbors yard with out me asking. Everything worked out well-Thanks Robin and yo9ur team. See you next year too. read more

Very professional and thorough and cleaned up beautifully - our extremely tall Canary Island Pine was methodically cut and taken down. Will definitely use this company again. read more

We have worked with Robin and her crew several times over the years. We had a towering eucalyptus tree removed along with an unruly ficus and several other trees trimmed. She is a personable and knowledgeable owner, with a skilled crew that followed our instructions, worked diligently and quickly. This was a large job that they completed in one day! They cleaned up all the debris and clearly care about the surroundings and their craft. Dependable and responsive, treats her team like family, all with an excellent price! We highly recommend Robin Hilton for jobs large and small. read more

Right away I could tell that they knew what they were doing. There was a big crew and they all got to work straight away. They were professional, hard working and most importantly our yard looks like it got a complete makeover. I'm amazed at all they could accomplish in that amount of time and could not be happier with how it all turned out and for that good a price too! Absolutely recommend this company! read more

Robin Hilton removed two large bushes and a stump from my property. Robin communicated directly with me and sent me a proposal and estimate. She also added that while they were at it, her team could plant the trees I had waiting to replace those removed. The work was quick and efficient! Would definitely work with them again! read more

I have used them twice and each time they left the area cleaner than when they arrived. Super skilled service and way cheaper than competition. If I had more trees to remove I would use them again. read more

I had three 65-foot palm trees removed to ground level. I was so impressed with the workers. Hard workers, efficient and thorough. They made sure the stumps were level, safe and attractive. Robin's estimate was the lowest and I trusted it due to her Steller reputation. I am so pleased with the excellent job they did. I would recommend this company. read more

They did a great job removing a number of Palm Trees from our front yard. Robin was very hands on and great to work with. Highly recommend!

Outstanding and thoroughly professional tree trimming, pruning, and shaping company. Have used Robin Hilton exclusively for several years, and have always been amazed at the skill of the cutters, and the attention to detail in the cleanup and removal of debris. I could not be happier with the results. read more

Hired Robin Hilton tree services again this year and had a few extra trees trimmed. There was a misunderstanding between us but Robin was very generous on the pricing.

Outstanding job! We removed about a 50' focus tree that was intruding our septic line and tank. Amanda was quick to respond, quote, and follow through with the job. The guys showed up on time, took the tree down in about 6-7 hours, ground the stump, and cleaned everything up like the tree was never there. They even moved three of my rose bushes, watered them, then replanted them back and watered again. Their love of climbing trees (they do it competitively), safety, and having fun on the job truly shows they're more like a family than "just a job." I highly recommend this company for any tree services! read more

We have two large Ficus trees in our backyard. This is the third year in a row Robin and crew have come out to them to give them their annual maintenance trim. I keep calling them back because they are friendly, affordable, and quick. When her crew shows up, they swarm on the project and finish up in a couple of short hours. They do a nice job of cleaning up afterwards and the trees look great all year. I am so happy I have a reliable company I can depend on every year to do this required work. Thanks Robin! read more

We had a great experience with Robin and her team for a full clean up of our overgrown backyard slope. Robin was thorough in her assessment of the work to be done, Chelsea and Amanda were quick to respond to our inquiries, and the crew worked efficiently to ensure our backyard turned out exactly how we'd envisioned. We would gladly reach out for future needs! read more

They did a good job cutting down the trees. However, I paid to grind the stumps and even paid extra to grind below ground level, but they did a horrible job with that. I was left with a mound above ground level. I was able to level it a little better myself with basic tools, but will have to pay additional money to someone to do it better. read more

Robin Hilton Land and Tree Company recently trimmed our palm trees and several other smaller trees. The palms were in terrible need of trimming and seeds were all over our backyard. They did a great job and the trees looked fresh without being over-trimmed like a bad haircut like some other companies have done. They cleaned up every frond, every seed, every tiny bit of trimmed debris to leave the yard spotless. I was so pleased with the results, I will definitely use them again when the trees need trimming. Great job. Highly recommend. :) read more

After a fairly extensive amount or research and quote collecting I came away with a clear winner for our needs. We needed to remove a palm tree that was outgrowing its space and would like cause some wall damage before long. Robin and team were awesome to work with. They were quick with the quote after asking some additional questions to ensure they had everything they needed to provide an accurate quote. They are happy to connect via email, text or over the phone to make sure they are being responsive which I find very helpful. Once we locked everything in we were quickly scheduled. The team stayed in contact with us throughout and felt very comfortable with their approach and professionalism. I encourage you to look at their rating (which is outstanding) and their number of reviews / ratings to help confirm what I have learned. At the very least I would give them the opportunity to see how they can help solve some challenges you may be needing help with. I will be using them again as my "go to" service and referral source in the future with family and friends. Very please with their organization and culture which is friendly, caring and responsive. Give them a shot and good luck with your project! read more

This company did a perfect job on a large eucalyptus that was overdue for a trimming. They worked hard with a big crew in a single day and made sure to be very careful not to damage other trees or plants nearby. The quote we received was very fair compared to other similar contractors. read more
