Luis from First Class Tree Service knocked on our door. They were cutting trees of neighbors behind us. He saw our 40 year old pine trees from the sidewalk, asked if we would like them to see the trees and give an estimate on getting branches trimmed. My first instinct was to say no, we have a tree trimmer we have used since moving to Simi. then i thought why not. Luis and Rey both came to look at the trees. I told them we were planning on having the tree slightly leaning towards the house removed and the other re-shaped. Rey gave me an estimate for cutting the tree, reshaping the other 40 year old pine tree, 3 tall liquid ambers, and a camphor tree. I told them i will talk to my husband. The quote was very competitive. When my husband called back, he told Rey he wants the stump of the pine tree grounded. They agreed on the price and worked on the trees March 17, 2023. Rey, Luis and 6 other members of the crew arrived on time and went right to work. The pine trees were on a slight slope, by a concrete wall and leaning towards the house. The tree to be removed cannot be cut at the base, trunks had to be cut 1-1/2 to 2 ft at a time depending on the width and be slowly brought down safely. Considering the size of the tree, cutting the branches, bringing huge trunks down, positioning the grinding machine on a slope, only one corner brick was dislodged. AMAZING . While working on the pine tree removal, rest of the crew were busy trimming, re-shaping the other pine tree plus 7 midsized trees: 4 liquid ambers, a 40 ft tall melaleuca tree, an apple tree, 1 camphor tree, 4 crepe myrtle trees, 1 carrot wood tree. What i like was i gave them an idea of what i want done on the trees. I asked that branches of the Camphor and carrot wood trees be cut so none were hanging over the wall towards our neighbors yard. They did all the things i requested!! i am very happy with their work. We are very very happy with their work, highly recommend First Class Tree Service, and will continue to use them in the years ahead. THANKS Rey, Luis, Jose and rest of the crew!! read more
