I have a bunch of olive trees and a giant hedge that needed trimming after a couple years. I used Yelp to contact a bunch of vendors, and SOTS was one of the first to respond - within 15 minutes of my initial request. It was easy to schedule a quote. He arrived on time and quickly generated a very fair quote. On the day of service, Oscar and the team arrived on time and completed the work in the originally estimated time. The work quality was high - my trees look great. Of note, he was easy going as we reviewed his progress and requested tweaks. He also was very polite to my neighbors. read more

We have worked with Sherman Oaks Tree Service for a number of years. This time around, we had a tree limb come down after a storm. It was time to get several trees pruned back. Oscar and his team were great! Oscar came out for a bid and it was a very fair bid - great value for the price. The project was scheduled quickly and the team was efficient. The team not only did a great job on the trees but they also removed all the cuttings - all that was left were very nicely trimmed and shaped trees. read more

Firstly, I would like to commend the woman who answers the phone. She was very professional and helpful. Her job seemed to be to transfer the calls to Oscar, who seemed to be the main person to put together projects. Oscar would call me but unfortunately, he did not show up as he promised on a Sunday and then on a Tuesday to assess my needs! I needed a dead pecan tree removed and to fix branches of surrounding trees that were damaged by the burly branch that fell from the dead pecan. My complaint is not about the service of this company but solely about the treatment, or lack of from OSCAR. Oscar, I'm sure it is no skin off your back but to treat possible clients like you did is disrespectful. Natural Wonders Tree Service is here now, very professionally taking care of our problem. read more

During a wind event here in the SFV when all the tree services were super busy with down trees I could only get estimators to come out same day. That's until I called Oscar Lunares. Once I explained that the work had to do with two large Pine Tree branches ready to come down over power and cable lines after the cracked up high 60', from heavy winds. He came out within an hour and he and his worker started immediately on resolving the issue. To say this man's expertise is amazing would be doing him a dis-service. Not only did he do an amazing job he worked past sundown high up in the tree securing the heavy branches until the morning when he returned to work an additional several hours until the job was finished and cleaned, even leaving fire wood behind for next season. Highly Skilled, professional, caring Arborist All of this at a fair price. He even hauled the material away instead of bringing a very noisy chipper to the location when i told him we were next to a school . read more

Good price, the job was done on time and without issues. Would have them back again next time

Gave me the runaround - acted interested, but never showed up. I called and received a call back from the office secretary, and was told they would call me later that afternoon. I knew from them not showing up, I shouldn't really expect a follow up call, and I never got it, so I'm happy I didn't get my hopes up. Im rating strictly on how they handled my request. They're probably a decent business that does decent work - but don't put in a response if you're too busy, or if you see I don't live in the valley - good business people will let you know that they won't be able to help you once they realize they can't. Good business people don't keep you dangling from a string waiting for a call. Like I said, I can't rate their work, but they get 2 stars because the office secretary was pleasant, and she actually deserves 5 stars if I were only rating her because that's the only thing they got right. read more

The owner Gregg is a very hard working man, and his team is very professional and get the job done efficiently.

What an outstanding landscaping company. Worth Every Penny. Greg and his team were superbly professional and the work was reversing 10 years of growth. We worked with my budget, showed up on time, and left the place spotless. I so highly reccomend them. They also knew to have LADWP remove and replace the power so no one was electrocuted. Definitely call when you're ready for work. read more

The owner(s) of Sherman Oaks Tree Service should be ashamed of themselves. The wood chipper they brought onto the job site is so old and worn out that it belches out big, thick, black clouds of dense diesel smoke heavily laden with particulates and stinking diesel fumes. We have enough pollution in the Los Angeles area without them adding to it. Every time they would shove a limb or branches into the chipper it belched out giant plumes of disgusting black smoke. I would not give them the time of day let alone a job until they correct their equipment. This is heinous. On top of that they left pine needles and branches everywhere in spite of the fact that their bid included cleaning up the debris from their tree trimming. We paid very high prices - higher than the competition because they promised to do a better and more thorough job. They did not. They completely failed to do the job right. read more

THEY ARE THE BEST...ignore the rest!!! LOOK NO FUTHER! I've been using Sherman oaks tree service for the past 5 years and am more than happy with all there services. Oscar and his crew have always done a great job removing trees, grinding/leveling roots, beautifully trimming my 30 ft ficus trees, and leaving my property looking magnificent! They go above and beyond what is promised and for a very fair price. I have been a client since and never been disappointed. read more

Excellent service. Had a very random tree/seed related issue I was trying to solve and the staff at Sherman Oaks Tree Service went above and beyond to try and help me. These are extremely knowledgeable folks and kind hearted folks. Greg in particular is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled professional. Highly recommended. read more

I had a bad experience and then I had an odd experience. They came out and gave me a written quote with a date to come back and trim eucalyptus trees in the backyard. The date came and they never showed up. I called and I texted Oscar but nothing. I think they forgot that the date of the work was also a holiday. That's fine and I completely understand but the follow-up was non-existent. The strange part is many months later, I am getting phone calls from them. PS. I don't answer those calls read more

Five Stars to a great company! They arrived on time, walked the job, and went right to work. They were very polite and professional, and they did an excellent job! I will recommend them to everyone I know. The price was also very reasonable. Not having a specific company to call, I searched on line, and obtained five different prices. I am happy with my choice-nobody could have done a better job. Sherman Oaks Tree Service- look no further. read more

We've been working with Gregg and his team for 20 years now! My trees look AMAZING! They are extremely careful and courteous and do an EXCELLENT job of cleaning up not only our yard but our neighbors, too! They are the only company I trust to handle my forest which consists of cedars, pines, junipers, pittosporum, yucca and a 75+ yr old walnut! They are simply THE BEST! Thanks Gregg, see you in a few years! read more

I called to get a quick quote, they were right on top of it. I didn't have to wait long at all, extremely responsive and reasonable

This company had set-up an appointment to come to my house for a free estimate last Tuesday between 12-1pm but never showed , no call/text/ message . Very unprofessional read more

Gregg's team showed up on time with friendly eyes! They wore their masks, made my wife feel safe and were super pro. They completely cleaned up and when they left other then the tree being trimmed I wouldn't have know they were there. I highly recommend you call Sherman Oaks Tree Service for all of your tree trimming and removal needs. David S. read more

Gregg and the crew at Sherman Oaks Tree Service are by far the best tree service in town. I've used them for the past 5 years and recently had an emergency that they were able to handle quickly without any issues. Thanks Gregg! read more

I've been using Sherman Oaks Tree service since I moved to Sherman Oaks in 1994. When the owner, Gregg, came to my door the first he did was present his license and proof of insurance. Very professional. I've been using his services annually for my brush clearance. He grew up in this town, lives here still and knows all the flora and fauna of Sherman Oaks. He also starts the job just days (if not the next day) after being called. He brings a chipper and a crew (lead by Oscar) who have tree climbing equipment. They clear brush and cut trees carefully and expeditiously. I've seen similar jobs in my neighborhood take DAYS to complete. Sherman Oaks Tree Service typically finishes in a day. The wood is in the chipper and the property is clean of all debris. Fire is a big issue here and skimping should not be an option. Highly recommend. read more

Highly professional, and was quick to return calls to schedule a tree trimming job. His crew didn't need to be supervised. I told them exactly what we wanted and when I saw the pictures, it looked just right. Gregg provided his license and all the paperwork without me having to ask for it. He's very upfront, and very well priced. Would definitely use him again. read more

Unprofessional and overpriced. They are not remove all the dead or dying brunches! Never ever have business with them again!

Sherman Oaks Tree Service did an amazing job on my trees! I was specifically concerned about my fruit trees (I have a peach tree and a plum tree). In the past tree trimmers have cut them back so far that they barely survived! Greg's crew thinned them out and brought them down a little but didn't take off all the young growth. I anticipate an a bountiful crop next year! The rest of the trees look great, also. The shape is really nice and they are thinned but not hacked to death. This is my new permanent service! read more

Gregg the Owner, Oscar the Foreman and the entire crew at Sherman Oaks Tree Service did an excellent job servicing our trees. Thank you!

Thank you Gregg and Oscar for doing such a nice job at our apartment building. Your crew were respectful, kind and did an excellent job cleaning up. read more

The previous reviews are all 100%. This is a great tree service. They came out right when I called to give me an estimate and the guys, who were all really great, were there the next Saturday. This was a big job and they were amazing! Very reasonable price. Very trustworthy company. Highly recommend! read more

Oscar and his crew went above and beyond, treating our trees and yard with great care and expertise. Oscar's advice was spot on and the job his team did exceeded our expectations. Will definitely call again. read more

This is for inquiry and estimate request. Did not call on the promised day. I followed up and still no reply.

I've been using Sherman Oaks Tree Service for years now. Responsive, affordable, professional, quick, yet thorough. I wish they would do my gardening too! read more

These guys are great -- quick, professional, thorough, and friendly. We've used them for a number of years every spring to do hillside clearance on our back hill -- trimming pines, removal of dead branches and junipers, etc., as well as tree trimming and maintenance in the front yard. Excellent, consistent crew -- same guys every year. They know the property and do a fantastic job. Leave the place absolutely spotless and couldn't be nicer. I don't understand the negative reviews. Our experience is 100% positive. Will see them again next year. read more

I called this company to get a quote. He went out to the site. I then called to get the price of the quote ands he said " AM I GOING TO GET THE JOB?" I AM SICK OF THESE BOTTOM FEEDERS ASKING FOR QUOTES AND THEN GOING WITH ANOTHER COMPANY!" Unprofessional much? What is the point of calling for a quote, but you will not give us the price unless we agree to go with him! Good luck Gregg! Your customer service skills are lacking. RUN AWAY FAST! After reading the reviews I now see that I am lucky he would not give us a quote! read more

After leaving a voicemail with Gregg on a Sunday afternoon for some serious tree service, I was DELIGHTED by his extremely prompt response time to discuss the job. Furthermore, I was absolutely THRILLED that his workers were able to come out the very next day! Gio and Lalo arrived right on time. After studying the geometry of the tree Gio and Lalo safely, thoroughly, and expertly scaled one of the largest pine trees I have ever seen. They were extremely PROFESSIONAL and I would recommend Sherman Oaks Tree Service to anyone who cares enough to have the job done professionally. read more

If you don't have anything nice to say...but in this case I absolutely must. They did not do what we had talked about, and when I called to ask them why, owner immediately started yelling and cussing at me and called me a liar. Extremely unprofessional, unbelievably rude and unnecessarily confrontational. He did come by the house however so that I can show him what I was talking about, Greg cussed and yelled some more and when he finally came down and gave me a chance to explain, he sort of apologized, and then asked for more business!! $12,000 worth of more business! As if I would ever work with a company like that again! Horrible customer service, and by the way, the work was quite shoddy too. read more

I would not hire these guys if they were literally the last tree service in California. My neighbor is having them work on her tree and they're spewing wood chips (and small branches) all over the street and into driveways. I pity them if any sticks hit and damage my next door neighbor's car. They covered my car with wood chips because their chipper isn't in good repair AND chipped material comes out of a hole RUSTED in the side of their truck. The crew made no effort to alert neighbors that there might be problems. Maybe they sent out their third tier crew to this small job, but I advise avoid them - you don't need the hassle of your neighbors sending their repair bills to you. I just hope the sticks stop flying soon. read more

We needed our trees trimmed for fire insurance purposes and a large dead tree removed. Oscar and his team from Sherman Oaks Tree Trimming did a great job. They were professional, courteous, on time and their price was reasonable. I highly recommend them for all your tree trimming needs. read more

Sherman Oaks Tree Service provided excellent service and workmanship. Our job was large - it was a multiday job to cut down 6 large pine trees (50ft tall each) and a plum tree. The job was difficult as it was in a steep canyon. Gregg spent significant time informing us of our options, and provided a creative solution - to reuse the trunks of the trees as soil retention structures. The job was completed at the quoted price (beating the competition) and in a timely fashion. We were 100% satisfied with the job, and plan on using Sherman Oaks Tree Service again for tree service. read more

Prompt and fast. Cleaned up a huge mess in the backyard. Great people and very helpful! Thanks! read more

Just had a great experience with Oscar,Brandon and Lalo at Sherman Oaks tree. I called four different tree services on YELP and Sherman Oaks Tree responded quickly and were the only company willing to come by and do an onsite estimate. The others preferred me texting them tree pictures and giving quotes over the phone. When Oscar arrived he had proof of insurance and an extimate sheet already started. He assessed the job, saw a few other smaller trees needing branches trimmed and pointed those out. He negotiated on his price, while adding the extra work he saw and ended up right in the middle of the other 4 bids. Only two companies had liability/workmans comp insurance. The work was done efficiently, safely and quickly, I would have no hesitation recommending them. read more

Sherman Oaks Tree Service exceeded our expectations in every way. We had an overgrown ash tree that needed extreme pruning, along with about 50 ficus/Hollywood hedge that had never been shaped. There were also a couple of coral trees that needed attention. Our yard was an overgrown jungle. Oscar and his three-man crew arrived on time, completed the entire job in about 3.5 hours, and did a tremendous job cleaning up. We are thrilled with the final result. Oscar was extremely helpful in sharing his plant and tree knowledge, making recommendations for how to improve our remaining vegetation with proper watering and care. We will definitely use Sherman Oaks Tree Service in the future, and we highly recommend their work for anyone who wants a professional pruning job. Oscar and his team are hedge artists. Extremely satisfied first time customers. Worth every dime. read more

We have used Greg and his incredible crew many times over the past 20 years. Fairly big jobs. Greg is fair and honest. His crew is amazing. They will listen to how you want the work done and will deliver. Make sure you consult with Greg before you make any decisions on your project. read more
