A big tree in our backyard fell during a big storm not too long ago. The branches were already cut off, but the main tree still had to be removed. We got a few quotes. Abel gave us a reasonable price. My husband and I also liked that he was very knowledgeable about trees. Fast forward to today, the crew came early and worked fast. They were professional and very polite. They hauled away all the branches that had already been cut off, which left our front yard clean. They cleaned up really well. The crew did an awesome job!

Amazing work at a great price! Couldn’t be happier as in only half day, the crew removed a problem tree that was threatening the foundation of two houses. They also provided proof that they were fully insured, unlike other companies in Orange County that were fudging it.

This company DOES NOT prioritize what would be of best interest to you, the homeowner, and your trees. This company prioritizes getting quick jobs.
As new homeowners, we were concerned about a large ~40ft tree in our yard that was spilling onto our 2 story back unit, so we called Discount Tree Care Arborist for some advice. The person they sent out was, in hindsight, not a true, certified arborist (although they do seem to have one on their staff, as I will talk about later). He told us the tree needed to be trimmed immediately to prevent damage to the structure that it was touching. He gave us the option of trimming/lacing it, or trimming it to the point where we wouldn’t have to call him back for another five years. As new homeowners with an overwhelming to do list, that sounded great! Something we could check off on our to do list and not have to worry about again for five years. Little did we know that this would doom our tree.
The job was completed, and the tree was cut/trimmed/topped back significantly. It was a bit shocking to see the final result (see after picture from May 2023), but assumed these guys knew what they were doing since they are “arborists”. Over the next month the tree lost whatever leaves it had left and as new, inexperienced homeowners and someone who doesn’t have much knowledge about trees, we assumed the leaves would grow back the next season.
Fast forward over a year and the tree has never recovered. Leaves never grew back. We called the same company back and a younger fellow (Abel, I think was his name) came out to assess the tree. He said that the tree was probably cut too extremely causing the tree to go into shock. The tree never recovered and now the tree is dead. He did say that he was the certified arborist on staff at this company and asked who came from his company to do the job last year. Unfortunately, I did not have that information anymore and leads me to believe that the first person who came out for our job from this company wasn’t really an even an arborist and it was strange to me that they didn’t even know who they had sent for our job. It also frustrates me that they didn’t send their real arborist the first time around resulting in a dead tree.
I do bear responsibility for not doing better research on how to take care of the tree and how we should have gotten it trimmed before agreeing to the service. I have since learned about the risks of topping trees and the best time of year to trim/cut, etc. On the other hand, I would have expected a company calling themselves “arborists” to lead and help their customers to make the best decisions for the well being of their trees. I’m frustrated and sad that this company did not prioritize the well-being and future of our tree but rather prioritized getting that quick job at the cost of a beautiful tree. We’ve recently contracted a couple other tree services and another certified arborist all of whom have agreed that there is no coming back for this tree. Now we get to spend another $1k+ getting the remains of this tree removed before it potentially falls over because it’s totally dead now. And I can tell you that we will definitely not be calling Discount Tree Care Arborists for that job and will not be recommending this company to any friends, family, or neighbors.

This company is phenomenal!! Abel was more than fair on the price of our project. The crew came and were thorough from trimming our trees to cleaning up and hauling off. They were done in two hours making our complex look stunning 🤩. Highly impressed with their drive, work ethic, and commitment to make sure the job is done right and to the standard the customer wants. They proved themselves to be very valuable. They more than earned my business and are now my go-to arborists hands down. I will share with everyone how amazing they are!!

We needed someone to remove dead palms from the palm tree in our front yard. Abel responded within minutes, and was extremely professional. He said he would come over within an hour to look at our tree so he could give an estimate.
True to his word he was there, asked questions about the scope of the work to be done and quoted a price that was 40% less than the LOWEST price. Once we agreed to the cost his team arrived within 20 minutes. They worked quickly, and cleaned up after they were done.
We are so appreciative to Abel and his team and will recommend to anyone looking for a professional tree trimmer.
