Tree Care LA isn't the cheapest -- but they are the best. Oscar walks through all my trees one by one during the consult, and recommends the right work. He spots issues that my gardener hasn't! Julian and Cesar were out again staking and trimming my citrus and avocado trees - great energy, always willing to help out, and left a clean workspace. I'm a life long customer. read more

We needed tree work done on our property we are renovating before moving in. There was a lot of untended growth amongst the trees and shrubs and there had even been a fire which affected the largest tree on the property. It took us awhile to get the timing right for the work to be done, but TreeCareLA was ready to go whenever we were. Oscar who evaluated our site and the staff in the office were so friendly and patient. Yesterday was the work day. Oscar and the crew were so nice and fun to work with. They did amazing work and we feel so happy that the trees and shrubs on our property are going to be healthier thanks to their team certified professional arborists. read more

About two months ago, I was sitting in my house doing some reading when from the corner of my eye I saw a huge limb drop instantly, making such a loud sound, several neighbors came running out. This began our search in finding an experienced arborist to come look at our great big Mimosa Tree close to 70 years old on the front of our property. We met with a handful of arborist working for various tree companies in the LA area, and by far the one I trusted most was Nick with TreeCare LA. Not that the others were bad. It's just that Nick had a very detailed plan on how to help the tree and do our best to save it. A few tree companies suggested taking it down without giving it much thought. I wanted to give this tree every opportunity to thrive. Cost was secondary. Nick and his team of tree nerds, and I say nerds in the BEST possible way, came out to begin work on pruning and lightening the weight of the tree. However, after going up and starting the work they realized with the amount of cavities within the tree, it might be best to take the tree down. It was a hard decision for sure. I definitely lost sleep over it. Kind of like putting an old dog down. But I felt better about the decision, because they had put in the effort of going up and looking down on the tree as opposed to vice versa. To top if off, within one of these cavities, lived a very sizable bee colony which made the work impossible without a bee suit. So the team came out the next morning, bee suit and all, and coordinated with a bee keeper to show up and take the huge limb that the bees were living in, and then continued to take down the tree. I just want to thank Nick and his team for their hard work, for their knowledge and love of trees. I strongly recommend them to others and they will be the first to call when my trees need a little loving. In my next life, I will come back as an arborist :) read more

Highly recommend TreeCareLA. We had issue with large living oak tree branch that was resting on our house. I heard about them from a lecture given by Nick at Huntington Gardens. His consultation with us was very informative and thorough. He made recommendation to place support beam which his team was able to promptly place as well as prune back the offending tree branch. They cleaned up the yard with care, leaving it in better shape than when they arrived. Working with the office was a breeze. It is obvious that Nick and everyone on his team care about doing the best job possible and could not recommend them more. read more

Francis and his team did a great job trimming our two Brazilian pepper trees, part of one had fallen on our care a few days earlier, so they badly needed attention. Quick, efficient and beautiful job. Thank you read more

I can not say enough good things about the crew today. Not only professional and kind but just seemed like good people who cared greatly about what they were doing. They also all seemed to get along. Great team work. And my wife and I both felt our trees (especially our beloved old fig tree next to the difficult Canary Island Palm) were in awesome hands. They also discretely tied some of the fig branches to the cleaned palm tree trunk so we could get rid of a crutch that was underneath the cascading fig canopy. This freed up a lot of ground room underneath that canopy. We had been waiting 10 years to get this major tree trim off our "house list" and are very happy. Thank you to the TreeCare LA crew . Great work! read more

Highly recommend Tree Care, what a sweet group of tree lovers I was super impressed with them, the crew was very efficient and skilled and easy to work with and I was surprised at how fast they were and even how quiet and peaceful they were in getting so many trees trimmed and cut. Oscar, who did our consultation is genuinely enthusiastic about trees and took his time examining and explaining every tree in our yard before giving his recommendations and estimate. read more

Provided timely and careful trimming of trees and shrubs. I called because they have an arborist. His visit and assessment was very thorough. Office staff were great. We will use TreeCareLA again. read more

Francis in the office, Nick and our tree tech were amazing! Fast, quality customer service. My Eucalyptus tree (like most in L.A. right now) have an invasive new Leaf Beetle. Tree Care came and did trunk injections and I already see a difference! Love it. If you want to save your Euca trees call Francis! read more

My avocado tree is doing great! Fully blooming today and swarming with honey bees (a good thing!) and hummingbirds! Thanks again for doing a great job! Stay safe and healthy. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Julian and Tim. The pruning was PERFECT, it goes without saying. But the thing I'm most grateful for is the way Julian handled my neighbor. Julian answered every question cheerfully, patiently, and with careful explanations about why such and such a cut would be bad for the tree and bad, in the long run, for the neighbor. Julian exhibited the skills of an international diplomat. I was gobsmacked. My neighbor was thrilled with the results and with all the understanding he acquired from Julian. As for Tim, he is another diplomat-in-the-making. Tim discussed the podocarpus with me at length, asked questions about what style of trim I like - sort of shaggy and wildish, or precise and geometric. Did I like the privacy the present state of the tree provides, etc. The two of them are great guys, and skilled at what they do. Another TreeCareLA success! read more

They already there book and they're telling me $500 to come and see it that's crazy Without knowing what was it They don't know what's the job They want to charge me just come and look at it Crazy read more

TreeCareLA is a one stop service for all things trees. In one day's visit they trimmed our trees with great skill and care. Plus, they treated a badly infested eucalyptus tree. Expert arborists! read more

Highly recommend! We have a large, beloved Chinese Elm in our backyard, and we got worried when we saw a similar one in the neighborhood that fell down after the winter storms. We searched for an arborist to do a consultation, and TreeCareLA came highly recommended on NextDoor and Yelp. We couldn't have been happier with the TreeCareLA team and the experience. Tyler was our arborist and was very knowledgeable. He noticed some potential root girdling right away, so recommended a root excavation in addition to an overall trimming/thinning. Tyler was then part of the great crew that did the work. They answered numerous questions, provided great aftercare instructions, and left everything spotless. The tree feels healthier already! Also a big shout out to Francis who was very responsive and communicative during the scheduling process. We'll definitely use TreeCareLA for all of our future tree care needs. read more

This company never lets me down! On time, permits in place, excellent work and they are true experts at what they do. Clean up is excellent and the the greatest attitude from the first call to the office with Francis, to Nicks patience with my endless questions when discussing the project. And the crew are always super professional and fun guys. Plus the follow up after the project is good-star level. read more

TreeCareLA - Great work! - Tree Services Near Me

Nick is the arborist I chose after much research and referral-seeking. He seems to be the most experienced, educated, qualified Certified Master Arborist perhaps in Southern California. I'm glad I chose Tree Care LA! I had made the unfortunate choice of purchasing a large ~17' Mesquite tree from a local nursery (Moon Valley). The roots were severely girdling the root ball. They had also planted the tree crooked and too low in the ground. By the time I contacted Nick, the tree was in a critical state of decline. Nick believed the tree would eventually die without drastic measures. He said the root girdling was the worst he had ever seen. The tree had lost a significant amount of it's live wood, and looked sickly. Nick thoroughly inspected the situation and gave me a range of treatment options. I decided on his recommendation to air-spade the root system to expose and unwrap the roots and position them radially. This was done in a delicate, surgical manner, so as not to injure the roots. At my request, Nick made a detailed report and gave me recommendations for continued care. A year later, the tree is starting to put out new growth and looks like it will survive. I can't thank Nick enough. Along with competent office staff and his certified arborists, Nick has the capability to handle the most dire of arboreal circumstances of any scope. His obvious love of trees makes him a pleasure to work with and I feel he is completely honest and reliable. I would not hesitate to call on him again and unequivocally recommend him. read more

So excited to have found Nick and the Tree Care team. Nick came by for a consultation and I felt like I learned so much about tree health and what type of canopy restoration we might be able to achieve. We recently had 10 trees installed by a large nursery and it did not go well. The yard is over planted, the trees are planted too close together and the majority were planted too deep. Nick helped to allay my concerns and offered a long term plan of care helping me to understand what my options were. We discussed the options of rehabilitating the canopy of a tree that we very foolishly topped when we first moved into our house. Don't top your trees!!! Proper pruning and tree care is so much more beautiful than a sad and bluntly topped tree. The tree is looking so much healthier and happier just a few days out - and well immediately after it looked so much better. It's a completely different experience between having a cheap tree trimming service and having professional arborists that care about the long term health of your trees come. At no point did I ever feel like I was being pushed or upsold. We have multiple trees but only one was ready for pruning according to Nick, so we decided to check in on the rest of the trees at the end of the year. I never felt rushed and always felt like my concerns were addressed and considered. Nick is very knowledgeable and in this industry for the right reasons. The price is reasonable and well worth it to have your trees look like you live in a botanical garden. As for the day of service: Nick came and went over the job with his crew. They were all very kind, courteous, and quick (without rushing.) It was actually mesmerizing to watch them work with such care as they moved through the tree branches carefully selecting what to remove. The yard was left cleaner than it was when they arrived. The crew also excavated the areas around the bases of all the new trees that were planted too deep to get them to the right height and at the same time found and addressed girdling roots that were on every tree. These roots would eventually have killed our trees as the girdling wraps around the trunk and chokes it (not technical explanation but that's what it looked like to me!) Will definitely be a long term client. So happy our trees now have knowledgeable Tree Care experts on their side! Very excited to watch our yard transform and grown over the coming years. read more

Very knowledgeable and a professional company that helps in all aspects of taking care of trees and landscaping around your house and property. We have used them for 10 years, and have been extremely happy with them! Nick and his crew are the best and hard working, and clean up everything. read more

Nick, Francis, and the entire TreeCareLA crew are phenomenal. They truly care about trees and provide expert guidance on how to care for them. We have a number of mature trees on our property each a different species and each serving a very specific purpose. In particular we have a few that help screen a neighboring boulevard. The TreeCareLA team works collaboratively with us to keep the trees healthy in a way that also meet our goals. They are extremely knowledgeable. It's like Christmas morning whenever Nick comes over for a consult - I get to learn so much! They know what they are doing and also have integrity. They won't do certain jobs if it is going to risk the health of the tree. They also have your best interest in mind and will recommend holding off on pruning if a tree doesn't really need it. They've also helped treat our trees that had fungus and boring beetles. The crew is also so friendly and kind, and really cares about getting the job done right. I trust them and follow their advice, and you should too! read more

TreeCareLA - Crew in action! - Tree Services Near Me

I highly recommend. Our Cape Chestnut tree was in bad shape and needed substantial trimming. The TreeCareLA crew removed a lot of dead branches -- some significant in size -- while managing to keep the tree shaped. They dug around the base, and advised me on future watering. They also cut back branches from the neighbor's yard that were hanging over our roof. A great, hardworking team with knowledge and experience. All debris was cleared and hauled away. TreeCareLA coordinated with DOT to have no-parking signs posted a day before the work began. Dealing with Francis at the office was easy and an estimate was sent out quickly. A stress-free experience I'd definitely repeat. read more

Needed to have my backyard trees trimmed. But also wanted to learn what types of trees I have in my backyard. I was concerned that most tree trimming companies would come in and hack away at the trees. And was also concerned that my particular tree trimming needs would be too small of a job for most tree trimming companies. I contacted TreeCareLA after reading the reviews here on Yelp and on Google. And I wanted to pay it forward by sharing my own positive experience. The office staff was helpful in setting up an appointment. I explained my tree trimming needs and what I got in return was more than I had anticipated. A consultation appointment was made with certified arborist - Oscar Sanchez. From here on out referred to as Dr. Oscar, PhD in Trees. (Cue - Enter the Dragon Music and Smoke Machine) Oscar was prompt for his appointment. He practiced safe social distancing for our appointment. He answered all of my questions and identified all of the trees on my property. He then offered suggestions as how best to keep the natural canopy and health of the trees. The quote was provided very quickly after our consultation. And then setting up an appointment was also done with ease. My particular tree trimming job was considered "small" but that didn't mean "less" service. On the day of the tree trimming, the team of tree experts and Dr. Oscar arrived. All safety measures were in place and clean-up was done in parallel with the tree trimming. I was most impressed with how quiet they were and how clean everything was left afterwards. They checked off all of the boxes on my wish list of the ideal tree trimming company. Courteous, professional, educational, insured, safe and prompt. That's it, if you read this far down - what are you waiting for? Your trees deserve the best, believe the hype! read more

TreeCareLA gave my lovely, old jacaranda a beautiful lift and I am super happy with their work. My tree has been drought stressed and I was concerned about its health. They uplifted it - it feels taller and slimmer. I appreciated Oscar, their very knowledgeable arborist, who was generous with sharing his knowledge of trees. And Francis was on top of everything, kept me informed and all that. I highly recommend TreeCareLA. read more

After trimming my trees with a different service, a Chinese Elm which is a feature on my patio started oozing sap down its trunk in a very concerning way. I called TreeCareLA and spoke with Angela, who was incredibly helpful over the phone. I ended up wanting more information than what she could tell me--which was already incredibly useful-- so Oscar came out for a consult. Oscar was a joy to work with. He was a treasure trove of information about all the trees on my property, and helped me understand what was happening with my Chinese Elm. I recommend reserving some time in your schedule to get into the details with him, it really helped me understand the ecology of my property. Highly recommended not only for diagnosis, but education. read more

Recently bought a home and inherited a giant Canary Island pine tree. The Tree Care LA team was quick to respond when I reached out to schedule an assessment. Nick paid us a visit soon after and happily answered all my questions about tree care (felt like a mini class in tree care). He sent over an estimate later that evening (cabling, trimming and thinning the tree) and scheduled the work a day or two later (was about two months after the initial visit). The team showed up on time and were a pleasure to work with. There were 6 total, 3 up in the tree to do the trimming and 3 down below to clear the debris. It took them about 4 hours to do the bulk of the work and then another hour or so to clear out all the branches/debris. I highly recommend this team; very thorough, very professional, a cut above the rest read more

TreeCareLA did a great job identifying the trees on my new property and giving advice on how to best care for them. While we had to wait a while for LADWP to trim the trees off the power line, the crew did a great job trimming and thinning out my trees! The clean up job was great, too, and communication with the office and the team was top notch! read more

I can't say enough great things about Nick and the entire TreeCareLA team. We first hired Nick when we moved into a new home and needed help identifying the many plants, shrubs and trees in our new yard and advise on care and pruning. He is very knowledgeable and helped us get some of the more unruly and unhealthy ones in shape. He also identified a dying tree on our neighbor's lot that posed a danger to our house should it fall over. We got that under control as well. More recently, we used his and his team's services to clean up a section of shrubbery that was affected by another neighbor's house fire. TreeCare LA removed the burnt foliage, ground and dug up dead roots and recommended a few nurseries and plants/sizes to investigate as replacements. Very highly recommend!! read more

Nick, Francis and TreeCareLA are great. The team did great work, and our trees look fantastic and healthy. I will be happy to use them again and again. read more

They are fantastic. First, the owner Nick Araya is the ONLY Board Certified MASTER Arborist in the area. There are many Arborists, but he is the only with that certification. His crew was on time-and excellent. They all seemed so happy too! Hard work digging a Root Trench- but they were all fantastic and diligent. They all came with masks- did the job and left as if no one had been there- TreecareLA is obviously a Company that not only takes care of their customers, but their employees too. So rare! I 'd never use anyone else. read more

I have a baby fruit tree and Karina was most kind and helpful with her advice and suggestions. Thank you very much. Love this company and everything it stands for! 100% highly recommend! read more

Our five year trimming on our 60' Cedar was spectacularly good. The tree had I'd say as much as 30 percent removed and looks cared for rather than hacked. We loved that everyone was skilled, safe, and professional with each other. They were cheerful, attentive, and hard-working throughout the entire project. A+++ for the work and attitudes. Your company is without a doubt the best service company of any kind we've ever had. And we know that comes from the top. The culture of a company is determined by who runs it and by that measure we know, appreciate, and admire your worth. We and our important tree thank you. read more

I have had TreeCareLA out to my properties for tree pruning three times now. Nick Araya does a great job of accommodating my needs while making sure that the trees remain healthy.

TreeCareLA - TreeCare LA 35+ ft up in the air - Tree Services Near Me

I hired TreeCare LA earlier this week to trim up my two elderly Brazilian Pepper trees and a very large White Sapote. Oscar and his team were absolutely superb, and I cannot recommend TreeCare LA enough. Oscar came out to survey the trees and make a plan of action. The White Sapote has grown very large, and they did a great job thinning it out and improving its long time stability. The Brazillian Peppers are delicate and required a lot of consideration to pull out dead/decaying limbs, while maintaining balance of the trees. They also uncovered a bird's nest while trimming and were mindful to leave it undistributed - you can tell that Oscar cares a great deal about his work. All of my neighbors have commented about how much better the street is after their work, and those who observed the work in progress were thoroughly impressed. If you are trimming your trees, you really want an actual certified arborist who is going to leave the trees in good health, not someone who is going to waste your money by chopping away haphazardly. TreeCare's price was very good, and far less than other arborists I reached out to. TreeCare has you covered, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. read more

The TreeCare LA team was awesome from start to finish. They first come for a free consultation to assess your situation, then they provide an estimate for the work needed. We needed 2 growing canary palms removed (before they got too big and out of control) as well as pruning of a way overgrown orange tree. They also work with the LA DOT to set up a no parking zone, to ensure that there is enough parking and space for the trucks. The team that came out on the day of was friendly, professional, and efficient. They finished the job within 3 hours and did a thorough job cleaning, leaving no debris behind. I highly recommend TreeCare LA for anyone that needs tree work or pruning done! read more

Nick did an amazing job saving our hillside tree which had a substantial vertical split down its trunk several years ago. The other tree experts we'd consulted had recommended chopping it down, but with Nick's careful and intricate repair, the tree is still going strong! I forgot to write a review at the time, but am very grateful for Nick's knowledge and his love and care for trees! read more

Oscar was very informative and took the time to explain what needed to be done in my yard. The Yelp "Pay $100, Get $150 off service was a nice bonus. Highly recommend. read more

Oscar is the BEST! Knows everything there is to know about trees and explains everything so thoroughly and in such an understandable way.

TreeCareLA - Great work. - Tree Services Near Me

TreeCareLA is a great operation. They come to your home to assess the work, you get a written estimate usually that day. They then work with the City to post parking notices on your street 2 days before the job, avoiding parking and flow problems on our smaller streets, and are in communication before the job by text. Then a team of licensed arborists and crew come and do a great job. A former company, who I won't name here, trimmed a large, deciduous tree of ours into "Lions Tail" pompom branches a couple years ago, resulting in lots of new growth on the outer branches and a look not consistent with it's natural growth. TreeCareLA trimmed that tree beautifully yesterday, doing only work that was needed to maintain the health of the tree, eliminating dead branches and some unwanted growth. This was our second experience with them, having entrusted them to our large, old fir tree in our front yard last year. We're happy to have access to a company like theirs. Thanks again, Nick & crew. read more

TreeCareLA is an awesome company, full stop. Every person I dealt with was great at their job and happy to help. We had an arborist, Oscar, come out to evaluate the job and give a quote. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We have several different species of trees, each needing different types of work. Angela was especially kind and so helpful getting our job scheduled, etc. The crew that came out was friendly and professional. They were happy to answer all of my questions and they did great work, and were having fun too. The cleanup was also strong. We will definitely continue using them in the future, and will happily refer friends their way. TreeCareLA - thank you for all the great work. read more

We needed a prop / brace for an oak tree that was leaning over our master bedroom (instead of taking it out or living with the fear of it toppling over). TreeCareLA was one of the only companies in the Los Angeles area that we found did this kind of work. We scheduled them to come out based on a photo of our tree, they came out, and did the work. I would recommend. Thanks Colin and team! read more
