"We had two redwood trees come crashing onto our house during the March 2023 'bomb cyclone' event, punching a hole through our roof... Dennis came out within 2 hours, and Miguel and his 7-man team were on site the very next morning."
"I asked about a price for trimming back my drooping palm trees and a twisty old yucca. Dennis and Miguel gave me a good price and said they could do it TODAY! WOW! They Did!"
"Since 2016, Dennis has been my go-to person when tree service is needed... They have short waiting time, work efficiently, and make the site clean upon finishing the job."
"We had an emergency where our tree fell onto our neighbor's property yesterday while we were out of town... Dennis and his crew truly saved the day and were so kind/prompt etc."
