Our large pine tree died from wood borer beetles. I highly recommend Design Tree Maintenance. From start to finish the experience was phenomenal. Zahari our arborist was very knowledgeable and patient. Daniel kept me in the loop on scheduling. If you are ever in a situation like ours, please don’t hesitate to give them a call. Very professional, knowledgeable and affordable.
Jose’s Crew just left my home after completing the job I hired Design Tree Maintenance to do in my backyard. They arrived at 1pm, cut the tree branches, topped off the tree, and hauled all the debris out to the wood chipper. I had cut a much smaller tree myself, and they hauled the debris from that tree out to the wood chipper too. They cleaned up the whole backyard, raked, and hauled that debris away for me as well. They were super quick and efficient with the whole job. They completed the whole job inside of one hour! So amazing. Thanks Jose and your crew for doing a great job!
The estimation process and design recommendations were a pleasure to work with and the results are fantastic. I just wanted to express my appreciation on the wonderful professional work the crews did. It was much appreciated. Before and after pictures included. I’m eagerly anticipating the new plants and new tree growth.
Outstanding design and craftsmanship. I was so excited for our new build and could not visualize what to do with our large lot. Ben designed a magnificent yard with options we could scale up or down depending on budget. I cannot believe how much I love our yard and how that has quickly turned into my favorite aspect of our new house. The crew even finished early!
Have been dealing with Design Tree for over a decade. They have been great, and I have been recommending them to family, friends, and some of my own clients. Just had some work on my large pine tree, and Rene, the lead man, did a great job with the help of his crew. A shout out to Nick as well who did the evaluation. Thanks!!👍😎
