text: We typically try to trim our trees about every two years.  We obtained multiple bids from tree service companies that had decent ratings on either Yelp, the BBB or Angie's List. The bids were for pruning of 4 mesquites and 2 palo brea trees.  The Tree Amigos were higher than the lowest bid we got, but we chose The Tree Amigos since we liked the idea of supporting a smaller company and due to the fact that they have certified arborists that do the tree trimming.\n\nOne of the mesquites is quite big and the job done by Johnnie on that tree was very good.  Of the three remaining mesquites, two were fine and the third was questionable in our opinion.  To be fair, we did ask them to trim this mesquite away from a building, but everyone who has seen the tree is of the opinion that the tree was over trimmed.  Hopefully, it will fill back in as they have advised us it will.\n\nAs for the two palo brea trees they look good, but we felt that some additional thinning could have been done on these trees since a minimal amount was removed and these particular trees had never been professionally pruned.  We are not arborists so perhaps The Tree Amigos are correct in their trimming of these trees.\n\nJohnnie did mention to me that they had damaged one of the window screens and apologized for that.  Unfortunate, but I thought it was at least commendable that he informed us of this.  They very willingly offered to pay the cost to repair the screen and I have no doubt they will do so.\n\nLastly, the clean up job that was performed would rate a 3 out of 5 stars with us.  I had to ask Johnnie to further clean the grass area of our yard where there was a small pile of branches and other twigs left behind.  In other areas of the front and backyard we continued to pick up twigs for days after the trimming.  In comparison to other companies that have trimmed the trees previously the cleanup job was just not as good and I am just of the opinion that a business should leave the premises as good or better than how they found it.  Granted, the tree pruning is of greatest importance, but I think the cleanup job can leave a great final impression with a customer if done right.
