I had two towering Cypress trees (over 26' tall) where the roots started cracking a 3' retaining wall due to the trees roots (inherited with the house, I would have never planted them there for this very reason). Also, this past year, one became heavily infested with spider mites and it was starting to spread to the other tree. Moreover, it was harrowing to watch them sway back and forth in high wind events. Reluctantly, after procrastinating for months, I came to the conclusion that it would be best to remove them asap before we get any more compromising weather this fall/winter and there was an actual retaining wall breach. I called Santos and he came out the next day & as he gave me a fair price for the work, we scheduled the task for the following week. His tree cutter was careful not to compromise my internet wires that were attached to the telephone pole and when grinding the stump his crew took extra care to avoid my irrigation pipes and landscaping wire. In addition to the tree clean up, they took away some other plant debris I had accumulated getting the area ready for the tree cutting and even cut some tree branches breaching my fence line from my neighbors house which was much appreciated. Although I am always reluctant to fell trees, Santos and his crew did an outstanding job and provided excellent customer service! I am going to have them come back out in the late fall to trim down and hedge back my bank of 6 podocarpus trees. read more

Santos and his team have done it again! They have trimmed my massive ash tree in the past and I needed their help again and they were able to schedule the job quickly, cleaned up all branches and debris after and did a great job. I'll only be using Santos and his team in my yard. read more

I had a great experience with Santos! I had called three companies to take down two trees. Ultimately, Santos was the best-priced and had the fastest turnaround. I was a little nervous because sometimes cheaper means terrible service. However, that was NOT the case. The crew showed up early at 7:45 AM and quickly took down two big trees (a juniper and a carrotwood), leaving no trace. I had a huge dragonfruit vine on the juniper and asked if they would leave me some cuttings to propagate. He seemed more than happy to accommodate the request. Santos was on site and even texted me when he had to leave for 45 minutes. At the last minute, I asked him to round out a little oak, and he took care of it immediately. He was friendly and professional, with great communication throughout. His team did great work at an excellent price! Highly recommend! read more

Santos was quick to respond and did a great job as expected. Trimmed and cleaned 3 tall plams and an overgrown tree within 90 mins.

It's usually a waste of time to write a review of a business that has 150 5-star reviews. How much more can one review contribute? But this company and its owner are extraordinary, and I would feel remiss if I didn't add my voice to the flood of 5-stars. We have a giant Ficus tree in our yard. 35 or 40 feet tall. Like all Ficus, it grows rapidly and gets bushy. It needs to be cut back. Twice in the past we have had it trimmed, and we were very unhappy with the results. My wife started to cry when she saw the tree after that first trimming; the second time she growled "butcher job" and refused to look at it for months. It looked like it had (barely) survived a forest fire. A few days ago Santos Peña and his crew came here to work on the tree, and the result is delightful. Instead of lopping off limbs wholesale, they climbed up into the tree and thinned it out, leaving most of the big branches and many of the smaller leafy branches. It looks like a tree now. His fee was quite reasonable. I've already made a calendar entry for next year when we'll bring them back to update and adjust. And during that year it will be pretty. One final note: his name is Santos Peña, with a tilde over the ñ. He said he couldn't get Yelp to accept that punctuation. read more

Santos and his crew are awesome! They took down 2 Canary Island Date palms for me and did a phenomenal job! After contacting Santos, he came by promptly to provide me with a free estimate. He was very professional, detail oriented, and had the best price/value by far. Santos was very communicative leading up to the service. He provided me with a transparent quote for all services. On the day of service, he and his team were prompt, worked efficiently and carefully, and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend Santos for any tree service needs. I will be using him again for my future tree needs. read more

Mr. Santos Pena and his team were an absolute blessing from the time he came to look at our two story twisted cypress that needed to come down until the tree was removed (about one hour ago!) He is skilled, experienced (many years as a arborist) friendly, personable, kind and exceptionally courteous. His estimate was very reasonable and competitive and he and the team did a wonderful job of safely taking the tree down and cleaning the yard afterwards. I need to mention his kindness-Mr. Pena had the team trim some branches of another tree that were stretching toward our roof and our home at no cost. He did this because he cares and wants to help people taking care of their trees.The team did a wonderful job of trimming the other tree. Would recommend him and his company highly. We are deeply appreciative of him and his work ! Thank you, Mr. Pena! read more

Santos Pena was great to work with! He was prompt in responding, always communicated well each step of the way, and did a great job on my tree.

I will be a repeat customer! read more

We are new to citrus trees and, after researching on google how to trim them, decided we were better off hiring a professional. We reached out on Yelp to find an experienced arborist to trim our citrus trees. Santos responded to our request for a quote immediately. He was able to come out and look at our trees within 2 hours. We were glad we worked with him as we discovered our trees were infected with several different types of insects. We thought the fruit was twisted and distorted because of lack of water. Santos was honest and fair, offering to give us the information so we could spray for insects ourselves. He also noted that the trees should not be trimmed, as it would shock them. This time of season and that we should wait until january to truly cut them back. All of the information he provided was in line with the research we had found. We decided to hire Santos to come and spray the trees, he cut back the sucklings that were taking over our trees, and sprayed organic treatment to help get our trees back to health. He was knowledable, honest, fair, and inline with the costs of other quotes. We will absolutely stay with Santos for life!! read more

Professional and efficient! We and our neighbors were looking to have a portion of the canyon slope behind our properties cleaned up to mitigate wildfire risk. While we were out of town, one neighbor took the lead to reach out to several companies. Santos' quote was competitive, but what we really appreciated was that he returned to our neighborhood to meet with my hubby and me, explain his estimate, and address any of our questions. Communication with Santos was great; he was very responsive and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Santos and his team worked efficiently and diligently. They placed tarps over our gate and fence to protect them from the debris that they hauled away. They also cleaned up our yard better than it was when they arrived. Our canyon slope is now clear of weeds and overgrown vegetation. We were super impressed with Santos and his team and highly recommend them! read more

Santos was great in every way! Communication before and during was excellent and there is no language barrier. His crew did a great job and cleaned up well. He even brought a smaller stump grinder because I have a narrow side yard access. He was great about altering days when my fence installer delayed me, and that alleviated so much stress!! Price was very fair too. I highly recommend Santos Pena tree service. read more

Excellent customer service from the start. Santos called less than a minute after submitting an online quote for tree trimming, came by the next day to provide an estimate, and the job was done by the end of the week. Prices for the services provided were competitive. We will definitely be using Santos Pena Tree Care and Services for all future tree care needs. read more

Santos was great to work with! I never had trouble with communication with him and he came right on time for his free estimations and for the job! I needed palm trees cleaned and trimmed and also an eyesore of a tree needed to be cut down. It was done faster than I expected and him and his crew cleaned up all the things that fell off very nicely! His prices were very reasonable but on top of that I was impressed with his expertise. He explained very thoroughly between just using sharp cleats or using a rope to climb up the palms. I had no idea that there was a choice as I have always had guys just go up on cleats. I plan on having Santos come back every year for my palms! read more

I had a fantastic experience with Santos Pena Tree Care and recommend them highly. I had 2 giant trees which were very overdue for a trimming.

Santos is great--I've had him come out a couple of times for trimming and removal, and he always does an excellent job. Communication is clear, pricing is fair, and he works hard right alongside his crew. What really sets Santos apart from the "roving tree trimmers" is that he cares about trees and knows how to trim them without butchering them. I believe he's working on his arborist certification/degree which is impressive. He is interested in the health of the tree and the art of trimming (just enough trimming and shaping of the tree or whatever you prefer). A few trees I had trimmed by other tree trimmers left me worried if they'd ever grow back, and one of my trees became brittle/less heathy. With Santos, however, I know the job will be done right. -------------------- NOTE: This review is entirely my own and written on my own initiative--no one asked me to write it. I have no prior relationship with the company, and I didn't use artificial intelligence to write, edit, or revise this. I'm simply a satisfied customer who wanted to share my appreciation. read more

Santos is a great communicator and his team is very professional and efficient. I'm happy I went with his company!

Just great! Santos is a really nice guy first off. But he is also very conscientious about the work that he does. I had a tree removed and he asked if there were irrigation pipes nearby. There were. So he came over to inspect it himself before he gave me a quote. I really appreciated him being so thorough. They did a great job of moving the tree and not damaging any of my other landscaping and especially not the irrigation pipes that were there! To top it off, I thought his pricing was very fair! I will definitely use him again for any type of tree service and I think you guys should too! Definitely 5 Stars!!! read more

We had a variety of large trees that needed proper assessment and strict removal for some. Santos came very promptly upon my initial call and took a very thorough look through both front and back yards. He is very knowledgeable, genuinely loves trees and what he does, and provided sharp and honest input and advice without ever trying to sell a job that is not needed. His prices are also reasonable and fair. I had met with 2 other tree experts before, but had no difficulty choosing Santos and his crew for the work in the end. Not only was each job very well done and exactly as what we had discussed, but they also left each area immaculate despite pretty colossal piles of debris. Very professional, but also very personable and a great communicator throughout; those jobs can be substantial and bring their share of unexpected challenges once on site, therefore it can sometimes take longer than planned- as was the case with the job before ours; but Santos made sure to provide timely updates so I could adapt on my end as well. He also had the kindness and elegance of offering a small discount to the initial quote to make up for the slight delay. Excellent work ethic and excellent work. Would highly recommend his services and will gladly hire him and his crew again. read more

I'll be the 189th 5-star review for Santos Pena Tree Services! I hired Santos to remove a huge pine tree, and his crew did an excellent job - - quick and efficient, with careful clean-up of both my patio and my next door neighbor's yard, taking care not to damage any plants under the tree's canopy. I always get at least two estimates for any job, and Santos' estimate was lower than the other, for the exact same work. And one thing to consider - Santos brought a crew of 3 or 4 other people, and they completed the job in approx. 2 hours - - and the equipment (saws, grinders, powerful leaf blowers) is very noisy. The other tree guy would have had only one helper, and he estimated the work would take at least 4 hours - - which would have meant loud noise for twice the time (and your neighbors will thank you if the work can be completed quickly!) And as much as I dislike the idea of removing a mature and healthy tree, it was a fire hazard and a nuisance, and my patio looks SO much better now that it's gone! read more
