Gonzalez Tree & Palm Tree Trimming Service

We had a bad storm that split a pretty large tree in half and another one that was growing into our power lines and I requested a quote to remove the dead tree and clean up the other and they came out the very next day, gave me a more than fair quote so I scheduled. They fit me in within 2 days and even stayed until after 6pm on a Friday to not just finish the job (they did an amazing job by the way) but they even cleaned up all the branches and leaves that were already on the ground (not just the stuff that fell from the trimming but that was on the ground before they started).  I'd highly recommend them for their professionalism and great work for a good price.

great communication, showed up quickly and on time, did a professional trim job for a fair price.  I couldn't ask for more and will use them again.

Had them trim two tall palm trees.  The rate seems reasonable and they were responsive, available, friendly, gave a window and came on time.  They even asked how I wanted the trees to look when done and made sure to clean up and worked very efficiently.  I would definitely use them again.

Talked to Jose on the phone scheduled a time to come and give me an estimate. He sent his son and we agreed on a price and he wrote me an agreement for $700. They cut off a limb and it fell and did damage to my house at which point the son called his dad, Jose, and he came out and said he doesn't work for free and that if I wanted him to finish the NEW PRICE was $1500! MORE THAN DOUBLE. I said we had a written agreement for $700 and that was all I was going to pay.

I tried to reason with him and asked him if he had finished the job and I told him I was only going to pay him half of what we had agreed on what would he say. He kept having to use his son as a translator and we were getting no where.

He said, We are leaving, and didn't pick anything up and even left a huge limb that they had already cut hanging in the tree 30 feet up which could fall and due damage to my fence or someone standing under the tree. I cleaned up everything he left on the ground but I still have to hire someone to come and finish the job as well as paying a contractor to have the damage done to my house repaired. I'm guessing that will be around $1200 to 1500.

As far as recommending this business, proceed at your own risk. I don't think they are insured because they did not offer to have the damage repaired or give me their insurance information. That's why he wanted to charge me more to pay to fix the damage they had caused. When I have a written agreement I expect to pay that not double what we agreed on. That is why you have them come out and give you a price in writing so there are no issues later. He did not keep his word, damaged my property, and then just left. If you use ANYONE, ask if they have insurance and MAKE SURE YOU GET IT IN WRITING TO PROTECT YOURSELF.

Great work, especially with that sharp machete and my towering monstrous...that's the name of the cactus. This team showed up on time and quickly got to work. I asked for leaves left on the palm tree so there would be a little bit of shade. Leaving leaves on a palm helps it to grow slowly, which is great when you need shade.

I was impressed with the quick work, everyone had a specific role, there were no loafers, and the clean-up job was perfect. Thank you again for working with me through Text messaging.

We needed to get 4 palm trees trimmed up. I called Jose based on the reviews here. He had me text him photos of the palms I needed trimmed - he responded quickly with a reasonable quote and indicated he could do the work the same day. We weren't in a rush to have the work done, but grateful to have it done so quickly. he showed up on time and he and his co-worker got right to work. They quickly got the palm trees trimmed then offered to trim 2 over grown mesquites -- gave a reasonable quote so we had them go ahead and trim those as well. They did a fantastic job - cleaned up all the trimmings and hauled them away.  Probably not the cheapest around but the prices seem about the going market rate so not bad. They were thorough, friendly, and did quality work.

Did the work the same day I called.

Reasonable prices, slightly lower than other quotes I received.

Good quality work - the 2 Queen Palms I had them trim look great!

Jose and his team were excellent.  He was very responsive and communicated well.  He speaks English and Spanish.  Jose was quick to take a look and give me an estimate for a small palm tree removal and trimming of my large date palms.  He showed up the next day to quickly take care of it.  They did a great job, and cleaned up after themselves.  For me, that is a big deal.  I appreciated his team and will use them on a regular basis for trimming now!!

They did OK service, but very dishonest business practice.  I had storm damage tree branch that fell on my neighbor's driveway.  I called and agreed to a price with the owner Jose.  Even texted him picture of the branch.  He texted me a price to cut and take branch to trash with them when done.  I had to go to work, but my wife was home.  When they arrive, they told my wife price was only to cut branch and leave it at our curb side for bulk trash pickup, which was probably not for another month or 2!  That was not an option.  If we wanted them to trash the branch, it was going to cost more.  This is only one branch, not even a huge branch, which he has seen picture before giving quote.  Since we had to get it done, I was not home and had stop looking for another service when we made the appointment with him, had no choice but to pay him the extra.

Today I was looking for a Tree Trimming Service company and came across this company by looking at some Google Pics of their work and let me tell you..... they did an amazing job. I reached out and spoke with Jose and sent pictures of the work I needed done, and then he gave me a quote and did the job same day. Very Professional, and even left me some Logs from the tree I had them cut down to add to my fire pit (even said he'd drop off more logs if he was in the area and had some laying around ). Highly recommend if you need any trees or bushes trimmed big or small, they can definitely do the job! Thanks again yall!

So, how often do you need to use a specialist to trim your palm trees?  Likely not too often. But when you do, Jose and his guys are the people to call.

I found Jose through Yelp. He and his guys were everything and more that all of the positive reviews say. He answered my phone call on the first try, and he had his crew at my house to trim a 35 foot palm the same day. The price was very reasonable, and his crew did a super job, including cleaning up all the palm frond debris.

If you have an unruly palm that you're seeking to tame, Jose is your man!

Owner replied in a timely manner with a reasonable quote ready because I texted a photo of the palm tree I needed him to trim. Great turnaround; he & his crew did an exceptional job! I'm very happy with the quality of work and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need. A huge plus was that I was able to pay him via Venmo because I couldn't be there and he sent me photos of the finished job.

Last Friday, I decided I couldn't wait to have a couple date palms trimmed. My normal tree guy was letting me down, so i found Jose's company here on Yelp.

Jose answered his phone and requested that I send pictures. He viewed the pic's and responded. After a quick price negotiation, we agreed and he said his crew would appear in 20 minutes. Voila,.....they appeared. Within 4 hours of contact,......job done!

Jose's son, Joseph, arrived later and helped with the job. There were two tree climbers, and the job progressed with dispatch. They did 2 date palms, and a couple of fan palms. These are big trees, and there was a lot of debris that needed to be stacked in the street for the city's bulk pickup. I was consulted, and we left just as many frawns at the top as I wanted.

Good communication, fair price, sufficient clean-up, knowledgeable assistance. Pretty darn good first time experience. I've kept the contact info, and may well seek out their help again!

Thanks JOSEPH (-:

Jose and his crew did a fantastic job on our yard! We have two huge trees that were way overgrown-now they look amazing. All the bushes were trimmed, the lawn was mowed, and the rocks cleaned up. They took all the debris and left a beautiful yard! Price was reasonable and they showed up on time! We will use this company again!

Used them again this year. Trimmed my palms and assorted trees and bushes. Arrived on time and did a great job. Ready for the summer.

Terrible customer service. Quoted a price and quarter of the way through the job, I'm told they need more $ or they will have to pass. I said, we agreed to a certain amount, so they walked away, left the mess they had started all over the property.  I'm VERY surprised by these good reviews!

Called Jose on his cell and sent him a picture of the tree I wanted trimmed.  Quoted me a price based on the photo.  Showed up the next day on time and did a wonderful job on the tree.  Honored the agreed upon price, and cleaned up afterward.

Excellent service from start to finish.  I will use again in the future.

Job well done on one Mexican fan palm and easy quote via text with a pic. They were able to schedule service for the next day.  Jose even asked exactly how many fronds I wanted left at the top. Great work on the clean up and will definitely use again. I just wish they could do a printed invoice but they were at least able to provide handwritten one for the landlord.

Wow the job isn't even finished and I'm already posting a 5 star review. First their bid was half of the 2 other companies I contacted. Echoing prior posts Jose gave me a quote in the morning 2 hours later they started the job. A job which other companies told me would take all day (in order to justify their outrageous quotes) Jose and his crew will finish in about 3 hours. I had 2 trees removed ,way to close to my house, both removed with great care and no damage. As I type they're cleaning up every last scrap. Save your self aggravation and call Jose first.

Fast response and quick service.  I called to have 4 palm trees trimmed, and when the crew arrived, I noticed that we had a branch from a different kind of tree partially broken and about to fall onto wires.  The crew was able to take care of that on the same trip.  They hauled out all of the trimmings and left the yard looking better than when they got there.  Price was very reasonable.

I called Gonzalez Tree Trimming and left a message, but I also text him per his request on his message. We communicated back and forth via text message, I sent him a picture he gave me a very reasonable price and showed up first thing the next morning to trim my palm tree.
I'm glad I googled searched for a palm tree trimmer finding a good dependable one with good Yelp reviews.
Originally I had inquired on Home Advisor, most was unreasonably high priced the one I had chosen never showed up. I called him twice both times he said he would be here in 20 minutes, never showed up.
So far to date Home Advisor is 0-3 for having responsible contractors on 3 projects I've inquired with them on.

Great work, very fair price and excellent clean up. Will be using this crew for all my major palm, tree and shrub work.

I didn't find out about this business on Yelp but at dexknows.com (link  below).

dexknows.com/search/?wha…

Since I saw a lot of good reviews about the business, I decided to give it a try. I called and talked to Jose. He came out and did an estimate for my frontyard and backyard which have total of 17 queen palm, some shrubs, and a big tree that need to be trimmed down. The estimate come out very reasonable as the whole package including mowing the grass, blowing the entire yard, and clean-up. Jose and his crew come the next day and didn't leave until everything got done at around 7:00 PM. The whole landscape looks clean and wonderfull.  I highly recommend Jose if you ever need any landscape work or tree trimming, especially palm trees.  I am really happy with his work.

This guy has a lot of good reviews, but I was definitely not satisfied with the pricing. He quoted me more than double the price I normally pay and then haggled down to the price I expected to pay. That's just offensive and I won't use his service. I would not recommend this service if you don't want someone trying to take advantage of you.

I had a dead palm tree I needed removed so I requested bids from five Yelp businesses including this one.  I received a prompt reply, sent him a photo and received the most favorable quote of the bunch (actually one quote didn't even come in until the following morning).  He was going to come by the following morning between 8 and 9 but text me late in the afternoon and asked if they could come by in 15 minutes - I said sure, come on over.  A crew of four showed up and this 20 year old Queen Palm was gone in 20 minutes.  Hauled away all the trash, blew off the entire (admittedly small) front yard, see ya!  Great job, thanks.

Did a great job trimming my palm trees.  They work really hard and the trees look great!

I guess the minimum you can select is one star or I'd choose zero.  Based on all of the great reviews and what I've seen in the past couple days, I believe that this company must have changed hands.  They cannot be the same people who got those reviews.
The attached phone number provided on this Yelp page no longer works.  There is a very simplistic web page provided, however, that includes a new number which I called and left a message.  I'd like a tree removed in my front yard.
I got no return call, so I called again the next day.  To keep this short, they do not show up when you make an appointment nor do they call to let you know they're not coming,  Then when you call them, first they act like they've never heard of you, then they apologize and say they'll be there in two hours.  Nope, no show and no call.  I don't think these can be the same people who got good reviews.  Nothing worse than waiting a day and a half for someone who says they'll be there and never shows up or calls.

I reviewed Jose's service last April on YP because I didn't know it was on Yelp. I cannot recommend his service more highly than I am. He came out with his crew and trimmed my 40' Ficus , cleaned and trimmed the back and front yards immaculately. I should have taken a picture, because now it looks as bad as it did. I'm about to call him again. On time, professional, competitively priced, and the best yard work of 5 different people I've had in the last 11 years. The best!

I phoned this gentleman for palm tree clean up, sent him pictures at his request and received a timely and reasonable quote. I hired him based in these 5 star reviews. He said he would be here in the afternoon the first day, so I stayed home all day and waited, waited and waited.  He never called or showed up. I finally called him at 6:30. He said he would be here the next day at 3:00, so I took another day off of work. Again, I waited, waited and waited without the courtesy of a phone call or text.  In my opinion, he owes me a days wage.  No respect for my time, therefor I can't see a reason for giving these people any stars, but Yelp says I have to Atleast rate a one star,  and I am a nice and tolerant person.

Amazing service! I called in, sent in pictures on my phone, received a free estimate and Jose was at my house the next morning. He was in and out super quick and both trees look great. I will be using this service again in the future.

AKA Jose's Tree Service; Jose said to text him pictures of my palms to get a quote for trimming & cleanup.  He was very prompt with the response and gave a fair price so lined them up.  Jose + 2 came when scheduled and they did a really great job--my palm trees have never looked this good!  Quality work and they cleaned up around the work area when done.  I'll definitely do more business with them.

He asked me to send photos so he could quote me a price. Sent him photos. When he showed up he said the photos weren't clear (not true) and tried to strong arm me into a higher price.  I told him to leave.  I do not trust him and would not do business with him.

I've been using Valle Verde for a few years now and they always do a great job. I've used them for front yard clean up as well as rock removal. Highly recommend.

They did a great job!  I'll use them again.  Valentin responded quickly and did a great job.  Polite, respectful and cleaned up after trimming my tree.

I am so happy to have found Valentin and the crew at Valley Verde Lawn Care. They have done several jobs for me, including a full clean-up/makeover of our front and back gardens that left the spaces looking better than ever before - and for an incredibly reasonable price. They also removed a stubborn vine root ball from deep under a perimeter wall, and their thorough work was the only thing that finally stopped it regrowing. Great service

Valentin and his crew did an amazing job!  We needed landscaping done sort of in a pinch and they got the job done.  Everything looked clean and manicured.  I would use them again in a heart beat!

Valentin and his crew did an exceptional job bringing our front and back yards back to their former glory. Well,  actually, better than before as I don't think they ever looked this good.

Valle Verde was quick to respond, quick to come out and see what we needed,  and provided a bid that was very reasonable. They scheduled the job and were very communicative about when and what time.

Given their commitment to excellence and customer service  their time on property can sometimes run long so they did arrive later than anticipated. But, again,  this was due to making sure the previous appointment was completed to their high standards. Valentin did, of course,  communicated this to me and keep me apprised of his progress. This was affirmed when they spent almost 7 hours (!) trimming, cutting, and cleaning our property. They even touched up areas I didn't even ask for.  I had even asked if they would plant a couple of cacti I just couldn't get to.

The invoice was exactly as agreed with the tiny extra charge for planning the cacti.

I cannot recommend Valle Verde enough. They are professionals from beginning to end. For any and all landscaping needs in the future,  they're my first and only call.

Thank you Valentin and Valle Verde!

Valle Verde is an excellent landscaping company. I appreciated Valentin's promptness, attitude and expertise. He was trustworthy, reliable and dependable as well. He listened, asked questions and gave advice ensuring a great customer experience. Most importantly, his patience, kindness and positivity was evident throughout. The overgrown shrubs in our yards needed extensive trimming, and we also requested front and back cleanups. The crew gave us landscaping we can finally be proud of. They trimmed the shrubs incredibly well and cleaned up the yards beautifully. I am so happy to have found this professional landscape company. Valle Verde has such a great reputation so I know how busy they are. So, I was relieved when Valentin expedited our request. Appreciated the service from this amazing company!

Trying to get a quote for new service. Very non-responsive. If they don't respond to potential new clients, that doesn't bode well for communication with existing clients.

This company is incredible!!! I found them here on Yelp and reached out to get a quote and Valentin got right back to me. We were not able to sync our schedules to meet face-to-face so I just described what I want and he came by and then texted me a quote which was more than reasonable. They then came by and took care of my front yard making it look better than it has in years. I have a lot of desert landscaping that went totally crazy with all of the rain and they were able to trim back and weed the whole yard. When they were done he then texted me pictures of their work and I loved that I was then able to just Venmo him the agreed to payment.

I highly recommend Valley Verde Lawn Care and I will absolutely be using them again.

Valentin and his crew do excellent work at a very fair price!  They did an initial clean up for us a few weeks ago, and made sure every detail was right!  We then had him remove and replace our gravel with a lighter color (an annoyingly tedious job!), regrade our backyard and reinstall a dry river bed.  He finished the job on budget, and well faster than initially estimated.  Valentin is an excellent communicator, as well....which we have found over the years is a very underrated quality in any contractor!  Thanks Valentin!  Looking forward to more work in the future!

Extremely pleased with Valle Verde.
Showed up at promised time and were very efficient and the price was reasonable.  I have found my new go to Service!
