I have used Specialized Tree Care every year to trim and remove trees on my Ranch. They do an excellent job at a great price. They cut, cleaned up and hauled of. GREAT JOB! read more

Very impressed! Detailed set up before pruning or removing trees, and detailed clean-up afterward. Even though they needed to return the next day to continue, they cleaned up all the sawdust off the patios before they left for the day. They were respectful and courteous and WOW do they work hard! Highly recommend! read more

We started using Specialized Tree Care a few years ago to help us get our overgrown trees back on track to a healthy growth, after years of overgrowth and neglect. Shaun and his team have done amazing work and their expertise is well worth the expense. The trees now look healthy and a simple annual trimming keeps them looking good all year long. Even neighbors stop by to admire the trees. read more

Specialized Tree Care has been our tree and landscape service for over 20 years. Always professional in consultation and work done on our trees. Annual pruning and most recently some landscape planting to replace old cover on our backslope. They are knowledgeable and gives sound advice before any work is done. Very fair in their assessment and price quote of what needs to be done. Thorough discussion and consultation of what needs to be done and if there are better alternatives, they will make you aware of it for your consideration. When the job is done, the follow-up to make sure you are satisfied is reassuring of how they stand behind their work. read more

We had a great experience with Specialized! Our initial consultation with Andrew for our landscape design was great. He had helpful suggestions and got a feel for our aesthetic right away. Once we settled on a design he sent us a detailed breakdown of all of the work that would be performed with the prices itemized so there were no surprises. The work was completed in a timely fashion and they did an awesome job too. Follow up and further communication was easy and Andrew always made himself available. Since we had such a great experience with the landscaping work they did, we recently had Specialized trim our oak trees. Shaun came out for a consultation and gave us great advice on how to handle our trees. He gave us a competitive quote and was available for any questions we had. Needless to say they came out and did an amazing job shaping and pruning our trees. Don't hesitate to work with this family owned business. They take pride in their work and it shows. Everyone we've interacted with has been professional and pleasant to deal with. We're looking forward to using them again in the future! read more

I've used Specialized Tree for years...looking forward to their annual cleanup EVERY year When I first switched my garden to water effective/drought tolerant I can't even count the number of landscapers who said they could help, only to harm & even kill some of my favorite plants. And a recommended tree trimmer who didn't clean between gardens caused me to lose cherished trees. I was very nervous to trust my garden to anyone Specialized Tree is not only experts, they're artists. From the 1st estimate I learned things about plants and their requirements that I never knew before. They also beautifully lace trees allowing managed growth with beauty. And while I found them to be less expensive on trimming/reducing than my monthly guy, they always give me an honest opinion on whether the service I requested is really needed. I recommend them to ANY and EVERYbody - I've never had such confidence in landscaper! read more

I've known Steve, and now Shaun forever. 35 years ago Steve was our one and only arborist because he saw tree trimming as an art. Not too much, not too little. Now Shaun has taken the arborist reigns and treats nature with the same respect. I'm always happy with the work and 6 houses later, will continue to appreciate the care and skill. read more

The team did a great job trimming our large Silverleaf Maple tree. What impressed me most was the time and care they took preparing the site before they started to work on the tree. They covered all our potted plants on our deck and removed the patio furniture so it wouldn't get damaged by the falling branches. Their attention to detail was great. Thank you! read more

There are ways to do business respectfully and there are not. This is the first negative review I have ever done and I stand by it 100%. I only hope it helps others choose a better company and avoid the experience I had with Specialized Tree Works. First, let me say I called this company for a half-day "yard clean-up". I was told they did these and was quoted IN WRITING $725. I was subsequently "up-sold" in person to hire the same two person crew for an entire day. We walked the property, I explained all areas I wanted to one day have addressed and the owner said that if I had his crew for the full day, all of these issues would be addressed and more. I was assured that "you will be looking for more for them to do by the end of the day" more than once. I then received two more estimates, one for a half and one for a full day. The half-day had increased to $1450 and the full day was $1850. The $1450 quote was for the exact same 8 items specified on the original $725 quote, with the $1850 quote only adding two more items. When I inquired as to all of these things, I was assured that the $1850 was the best way for me to go regardless and that if I did not use a credit card with additional fees, he would take another $75 off the price. I was also assured that one of the team members would be in communication with me during the day and speak English. Of the 10 line items specified in the "proposal", only half of what was promised was completed. Most importantly, the clean-up I originally came to them for was not done. Dead plants, bushes, trees were not removed, shrubs were not shaped or trimmed, the entire back area, driveway, and front slope were not touched. Moreover, they were even damaged by the half day focus on an oak tree that wasn't even in the proposal or a priority at all. I called mid-day (no response), and then asked the owner at 2pm when he finally stopped by as to my concerns and was assured they were "making their way" to what was on the proposal. I was not able to exchange even two words with the worker who supposedly spoke English, as he was in the trees most of the day, when the goal was cleanup. The most disheartening part of this experience was how my concerns were addressed in the end. After sending a detailed email as to my disaticefaction, I was told he felt they did nothing wrong and that he would come up the house to go over this with me. Not only did he NOT come, but missed two appointments which I took off work for and then finally sent his other manager Andrew. This was the most disrespectful interaction I have ever had upon sharing concerns on a job with anyone in my life. Not only was he dismissive, defensive, and abrasive when, in fact, he WAS NOT EVEN THERE, he dismissed all of the proposals as meaningless. He said that he didn't care or believe what I shared regarding his crew because he "knew them". He said that I wasn't charged enough four times, that I should have been additionally charged for dump fees (which were specifically included in both quoted fees), that all of the written details of what would be done meant nothing and that they were willing to do only ONE thing to rectify the situation: remove one large dead bush. To add insult to injury, when I said I would simply pay the total specified less the $75 by check, he said that I could only have that discount with cash, when we both knew it was not a cash issue but a credit card fee accommodation. As he was leaving, he then pretended to backpedal, asking if he could do anything else, and when asked again what that might be, he simply said again that I was actually given too good of a deal to begin with and he would have never quoted any of that to me. BUT THE OWNER DID. AND HE DID IT IN WRITING. If a businesses does not intend to back any facet of a proposal, one shouldn't be given. Finally, I must say that this last interaction felt demeaning and echoed every possible reason people go with larger companies where they are treated with more respect and the work is backed. read more

We have used Specialized Tree Works many times. they are EXCELLENT. They did a great job on pruning our trees, shrubs and removal of shrubs. When they left not only did the yard look GREAT but they cleaned up as though they were never there. tim & claudia read more

I can recommend Specialized Tree without hesitation. They have been helping us look after our trees (coastal live oaks, all types of fruit trees, Canary Island pine) for ten years, at least. Shaun and his crews provide knowledgable and efficient service (cleaner after they left than before!) and really helped us during a wind event when we lost an oak in the middle of our street. Their prices are reasonable and I always feel as though our trees are well taken care of. read more

Specialized is courteous, prompt, fast, and in all other ways professional. Janice in the office is very kind and responsive, and Shaun the arborist provided a lot of helpful insight about our pepper and podocarpus trees. Both crews that worked our property were fast, attentive and careful, and cleaned up beautifully. The pricing is also competitive. Highly recommended. read more

I requested an estimate for trimming 7 trees in my backyard. They came out to give me an estimate within a couple days. It was a very fair estimate. They did the job about a week and a half later. They did a fantastic job over about 6 hours with four persons. They were very adaptable to what I wanted and did a thorough job. They are licensed/bonded. You don't get billed until after the job is completed. Very happy with their service. read more

About a year ago we had Specialized trim our very large oak trees. They did a great job. This year we needed to re-landscape our large side yard. Andrew came by and we discussed our ideas. After interviewing a couple of others we decided to hire Specialized again. We were not disappointed. Andrew and Jorge and the other gentlemen were so efficient and kind. They are hard working men. As you know here in July the days are only getting hotter. But each day they arrived and worked very hard until the job was done. We are very pleased. The yard looks beautiful. We have trimmed fruit trees and 2 new apple trees and lovely DG and stone pathway and a large circle of DG with polls for future lighting. We highly recommend Specialized for all your landscaping and trimming needs. Thank you guys. read more

As a Real Estate Broker, I've always been quite particular with any Home Improvement or Property Service Providers I might contract (be it for myself or a Client). That said, I had to let you know how impressed I am with the job completed by your 3 Man Team (led by Pablo). The Tree Trimming was impeccable AND so was the Crew's Job Completion Clean Up. My North Hills Tustin Neighbors have already made glowing comments so I've relayed your contact details and emphasized your trustworthy, efficient & reasonably priced services. You couldn't possibly know how exceedingly RARE it is for me to lavish such praise without a single, solitary or even slightly negative "could use improvement" comment. I literally can't say enough GOOD THINGS about Specialized Tree Works & Landscape. read more

Specialized Tree Works does a great job trimming trees. Timely, efficient and clean work.

We cannot offer a more glowing testimonial or recommendation for the professionals at Specialized Tree Care than this endorsement. They have skillfully cared for our trees for the past 3 years. Regrettably, 4 years ago we hired an unknown "drive by" gardener who misrepresented himself and his men as "tree trimmers." They climbed my 30-year old tree with spikes (called gaffs) and punctured the trunk, which later caused our tree to become diseased and nearly died. After that, I called an arborist to heal the tree, and asked for a true professional to trim our trees; and, he referred me to Shaun Peterson at Specialized Tree Care. The Specialized Tree Care team are comprised of caring and true professionals--from Shaun to Janice to the caretakers who expertly trim the trees and always leave our yard immaculate. The service fee is worth every dollar. We highly recommend these terrific folks, and we would not entrust our trees to anyone else. Steve & Lisa read more

A granddaddy Oak tree at my place lost a big limb, falling to the road edge... Shaun at Specialized came right out and gave us a bid to remove the limb. Prompt. I 'bit the bullet' and decided to get an additional estimate for thinning the entire tree. Five stars for the artistic tree trimming work Specialized performed. The thinned Oak tree is more more majestic than ever. They did an excellent job. Those hard working fellows were willing to add some fine touches to the trimming (my suggestions) at the end, too. I recommend them. read more

We had such an amazing experience with STW. Shaun came out and looked at our very old and amazing Oaks that needed attention, gave us a great price to have the work done. Scheduling was easy and quick. The men who worked in the trees and on cleanup were, thorough, careful and clean. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you STW!! read more

This is the second time I have used Specialized Tree Works to trim a row of hedges across the back of my property & to thin my huge Magnolia tree.

I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of their services. read more

They came out on time for the bid, did a detailed estimate, and the crew did a wonderful job! I highly recommend them and have already to neighbors! read more

The company does a good job trimming your trees, but they are higher in price than others. In the past, I received excellent service but just recently I was very disappointed with the condition my house was left in. They left a stain on my driveway, either from eating on it, or gas/oil from the chainsaw. Also, there are marks all along the side of my house from where tree branches were transported. Also, during the job, they did side work for my neighbors, but used my house as a dumping ground. The clean-up after they were done was almost unnoticeable, using only a leaf blower. I had to sweep down the side of my house, the driveway, sidewalks and gutters. I would get quotes from others. read more

We had Specialized Tree Service trim 11 of our trees and they did a great job. The trees were expertly trimmed and the crew were unbelievably careful of our surrounding bushes and plants. They put everything back that they needed to move. Very pleased with the work. read more

We had our backyard landscaped 10 years ago and the 3 trees (1Willow and 2 Pittosporum silver sheens) had grown so tall that they were entwined in the telephone wires. I have a professional landscape company who maintains my yard on a weekly basis. I called the landscaper about 6 weeks ago to give me an estimate to trim the trees. 2 weeks went by, no response. I then mentioned this to the lead gardener 2 weeks in a row and still no response. I then contacted STW and Shaun came the next day for an estimate. Within 3 days Sergio and team were here right on time, and got to work right away. I was impressed with their precision and the fact that it took them almost 4 hours to complete the job. When they were done they had me come to check out their work, which was perfect. read more

If you are like me you may have waited to trim trees or had your gardener do it. This year we decided to hire a professional service and we are glad we did. They trimmed 3 trees including the palm verde and crepe Myrtle and palo verde in the back yard. Now looking at all 3 tree I can tell you why it's worth it to spend the money on a professional service. Just looking at the trees you can see how they will regrow properly and shaped and look much better than before. I watched the workers and they took their time analyzing the trees to get the right shapes and cuts not rushing the job Cleaned up well. Will use again because price matched quality and I thought it was a fair price well under 1 quote but more than the lowball quickly job. read more

Are your trees out of control? Not really looking like trees anymore? Not getting as much fruit as you used to? Could be you need an expert! An arborist. Specialized Tree Services reshaped our trees, explained how the pruning allows sun to get into the center fruits...I know more now and my trees are beautiful! We had 5 trees done at a very reasonable price. Shaun was great at the consultation and the team that came to reshape very nice and took away trimmings. Highly recommend! read more

Extraordinarily good job. Scheduling was easy, the workers were polite and efficient, and the craftsmanship was worthy of an arborist. And just as importantly, they cleaned up spotlessly when they were finished trimming. The work was worth every reasonable penny we paid. read more
