    They were responsive and available quickly. They did great work in a very timely manner. Their price was extremely reasonable and they left the site cleaned up, hauling away all the trimmings. I would hire them again when needed!

    They do the tree disposal as well

    Five stars and even more! I would recommend anyone who needs tree removal or tree planting to contact Clemente! He earned every penny! We had three trees blocking natural light and shedding around our property and our neighbors' properties. Our backyard was looking awful before he came. He and his worker did a great job rearranging my plants, removing the trees, and cleaning up the entire mess afterward. He also planted new trees for us. My backyard looks fantastic now! We are so happy! You rarely see kind people working from their hearts, but this guy is one of them! He does his work with great passion and a smiley face! God bless you and your helper Clemente!

    We were looking to cut down multiple trees on our property, none of them were really that tall, but together, they were overwhelming in terms of maintenance, so we decided to just get rid of them. After fielding multiple quotes from highly rated companies, we decided on So Cal Pruners based on price. Clemente communicated well from beginning to end. He and his crew came in and knocked it out quickly. They made sure not to leave any mess and were very careful and completed the job as agreed upon. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone. Gracias Clemente, a ti y a tu equipo.

    Clemente and his team did a fantastic job . They were on time and got the job done the same day - multiple trimmings and removal of 2 30ft trees! And they split and stacked the wood for us. Highly recommend these guys and will certainly be using their services again.

    Info about spikes
    Paul S.

    A few years ago I lost a palm tree because it became diseased after the trimmers used spikes to climb the tree. In my Yelp request, I specifically said NO SPIKES, but I looked outside and the guy was up on my tree with spikes! They said didn't have a tall enough ladder, but they should have let me know they couldn't do the job per my directions. That's as bad as customer service gets. The issue with spikes is also well documented (see attached example), and if they don't know that they should be in a different business.

    What lemon trees? They're fast! See those eucalyptus trees? They're currently taking down three bunched together on other side.

    The benefits of these removed Eucalyptus trees are as follows: My fear of high winds has increased since the yearly droughts and because a drought, dry large trees, and potential homelessness gave me severe anxiety if the trees fell on to the property and created enough damage to where we would be displaced. How this project WILL pay for itself over time: We were washing our vehicles up to 3x a week for the past few years due to the production of sticky sappy leaves that constantly fell on our vehicles and we don't have to do that any longer. Removing the three 40' foot eucalyptus trees is going to save all of us countless hours and gasoline from going to and from the car wash and after negotiating the dramatic decline in work for the gardener that bill has also been reduced. Clemente's team was just fantastic! They were always early. They collaborate really well in a team. Clemente is a top notch communicator and we military personnel require that to complete missions! If you know a grumpy military veteran, then you know us military guys are difficult to please and when we're not happy we won't only tell you, but we'll show you also; read my other reviews for examples. A negative experience was not part of this project in any way. Clemente was always in strong communication every step of the way. They've put together a great team. I always read the negative reviews on a business because family and friends can write positive reviews, but the positive reviews outweighed the negative reviews and I didn't hold any of that information against SoCal Pruners. Things happen and make customers upset, but we need to understand that things happen sometimes and that's why I gave SoCal Pruners the opportunity by accepting their quote. They were responsive and professional in their communication and when all the other businesses didn't accept my request for a military discount after I received their quotes, SoCal Pruners did! Even if SoCal Pruners' quote may have been higher which wasn't the case, I would have still gone with them regardless because they Honored Military Veterans; I also expressed this to every other business. Clemente, and all SoCal Pruners, I hope you're reading this and pass it along to all of your colleagues. Thank you for being the ONLY business out of the four quotes I received to honor my request for a Military Discount. Please continue to grow with professionalism because that made a huge impact on my decision to write and share such a powerful and important review for your team. You've earned it SoCal Pruners.

    There's a huge tree on the sidewalk in our front yard that's overgrown and needed a trim. Found these guys on Yelp. Messaged them and Jesus immediately replied. He gave me a quote on Yelp for $350 and his guys came and trimmed the tree that same week! Super easy, fast, and super happy with the results. 10/10 Would definitely recommend these guys

    Jesus and his crew with SoCal Tree trimmers went above and beyond when removing the last of my Pine trees.

    Such an amazing family owned and operated company! We had them out twice this last week for…read moredifferent things. They did such a great job with the first thing, that having them come back out for something else just made sense. Daniel stopped by our house to give us a quote to trim our grapefruit tree and remove a tree stump. After speaking with a few companies, we felt like Elene's was the best option. He took the time to talk about the project, how to properly care for and trim citrus trees, and he was able to schedule the project for the next day. They came by and completed everything quickly and did an amazing job. After the project was completed we were able to have them back out in a few days to plant shrubs and transplant a hibiscus tree! Again, quick, efficient and job well done. Next we plan to work with them to trim our giant pine, and help us create a planter wall- two things that've been on our "list" for a long time. Over all working with this company was a great experience. I highly recommend them! Also- pricing was very reasonable, and aligned with other quotes we received.

    We had scheduled well in advance with this questionable two bit low budget bunch of renegade…read morenonprofessionals for removal of a dead tree on our property and I had even rearranged my schedule for them, but these dudes showed up a day early at the crack of dawn and rang the doorbell repeatedly, insisting that we allow them access to our property. They wanted to do the job a day early without any prior notice and claimed to be working on a job two houses down from us, which turned out not to be true. They were overly insistent, even yelling at my brother over the fence in the back yard to get his attention, and it soon became apparent that they wanted to do our job a day early because they had booked a more lucrative job into the time slot that had originally been reserved for us. I texted Danny, the leader of these renegades, who basically told me that if they couldn't do the job a day earlier, then they would not be doing the job at all. I tried to reason with him, but he simply stopped responding to my texts. Why couldn't he have just been honest with us in the first place and told us that they had given our scheduled time slot to someone else and needed to reschedule instead of trying to saddle us with the lie that they happened to be in the neighborhood and working two houses down from us, which wasn't true? Their lame excuses, their bad behavior, and their total lack of professionalism are frankly mind boggling!

    These dudes are the best! We agonized so much and wasted so much time getting estimates for removal…read moreof a massive dead pine tree in our back yard and were told by various services that it would take 3 to 4 hours to do the job, that we most likely would need to have a crane, and that it would be extremely tricky to remove. We had initially hired Danny Elene of Elene Tree Service and his motley crew, but his crew showed up a day early one morning without warning and basically demanded to do the job on that morning or not at all. Needless to say, we declined. We then proceeded to speak to several new tree services and settled on Jesus of Jesus Tree Service because he agreed to match our lowest bid, he was straight with us, he didn't play games or use scare tactics, and he didn't display an ounce of cocky bravado, as most of them tend to do. He willingly and happily showed us his license and his proof of insurance, and he was one of the very few who stated what should've been obvious to most, which is that removal using a crane would not be feasible in our case due to several rows of electrical wiring overhead. We decided to trust him and his unbelievably quick and careful crew, and it was quite an impressive sight to witness their outstanding teamwork. They were extremely focused, extremely efficient, unbelievably tidy, and they didn't trample on any of our many pretty flowerbeds. They removed the huge dead pine tree in short order and left the stump cut precisely at ground level. They also stacked up the resultant logs very neatly and left our yard spotless, without a trace of debris in sight. Best of all, they managed to complete the job in an hour and 15 minutes flat, in less than half the time that was estimated by the other tree services. All of the cautions and fears and warnings that had been proffered and impressed upon us by other so-called tree "experts" turned out to be totally unwarranted. Don't hesitate for a minute to hire Jesus and his crew. They are total professionals.
