Robert’s Tree Service

I called 3 companies to get quotes. One was a no-​show, so it was Robert and one other company. Robert was a full 30% cheaper and had equally good reviews on Unilocal,so I chose him. I needed him to trim and shape a couple of trees, take out a pine that had grown too close to my roof, trim up a very tall king palm, and mulch up a VERY large pile of yard waste so I could reuse it on my gardens next year. His crew arrived on time, and were polite, fast and efficient doing exactly what they said they would. It took less time than I expected, and the price was exactly what was quoted. The crew was a little rough on some surrounding shrubbery, but in fairness the quarters were a little tight, so its understandable. I will hire them again next time I need tree work.

Robert came out on Friday to give us a quote and his crew was at our house at 7:30 Sat. morning. We had 7 trees removed and they did a great job.

I contacted Robert on a Wednesday for a quote to cut down two dead trees in my yard. The quote was given to me at that time, but I still needed to discuss with my husband. About 2 hours after he left, I called him to schedule the time to cut down trees. We set Friday morning. Here we are on Friday afternoon and I still have two dead trees in my yard. I called him around 2:30pm and asked when he will be coming. His response «we got a bigger job that started today I can come out Monday»
Do yourself a favor and if you value your time go elsewhere…
And check his license… the license number on the flyer he gave me is invalid or expired.

Robert and his crew took down three eucahalyptus trees for us — with many branches leaning over the house and roof! In addition, they ground the stumps…They did excellent safe work and excellent cleanup and at a competitive price. I will use them again in the future.

Good job. Great Price.
I feel like they set realistic expectations from the beginning in terms of price and time. Of the quotes I got, this was the most reasonable by far. I had about 20 large palm trees that were in need of trimming and they came in and did the job well. Everyone, including the crew, was very nice and courteous. They did such a good job cleaning up at the end of each day that it was actually cleaner than before they arrived! I will definitely call these guys next time I need to have this done. Thanks guys!

Very reasonable and fast. Called one day, got an estimate and they were trimming that afternoon. Left the yard super clean. Would recommend them and will use them again!

I got three bids for two very large trees in my front yard. Roberts was the least so I was skeptical of the service but after reading reviews here chose them.
They did an amazing quick job I couldn’t have been happier.
No need to look anywhere else these guys are the best.
Left the place clean and they have insurance.

I got three quotes to trim 4 very tall palm trees and to remove a tree that was rubbing my roof. Robert came in with a very reasonable quote. He is also licensed and insured. This was very important to me because of the liability due to height of the palms. He was very friendly, and thoroughly described what he was going to do. When I read Robert’s reviews on Unilocal,I was convinced he was the man for the job. Robert told me he could get it done in about a week. I asked him if he could make it sooner, since I was preparing for an event at my house. Two days later he called and told me he could do it that day after 3 PM. I was a little skeptical that he could get it done by dark. I was even more Skeptical when he got hung up on his previous job an arrived at 4, but he arrived with a six man crew. By 5:30 his crew had completed all the work, hauled away the trimmings, and thoroughly cleaned their work site. They were fast, friendly and professional. I will definitely be calling Robert next time my trees need trimming.

These guys were just awesome. Robert got right out and gave us a bid and got the job done in record time. Wasn’t an easy job either. We had a HUGH Ash tree that had to come down because it was causing us all kinds of problems with our plumbing. They made it disappear in record time, stump and all and did such a good cleanup you would never know they had been there. I will Diffenently recommend them to friends and family. I LOVE Unilocal. I have found some GREAT contractors on here.

Read the reviews and they were right on. They have me as a customer for life. Fast, efficient and cleaned up well. Removed a large palm without even damaging a plant. Trimmed 4 other palms, an avocado and a large fig in 4hrs for a very reasonable price.

I usually don’t write reviews. But the service was great. Came out on time for an estimate in the morning and gave me recommendations. Finished the job before I got home and the four palm trees were trimmed and trunks clean shaven. No mess left behind. Highly recommend.

I spoke with three other tree services. None of them wanted to come and give an estimate and one (The Branch) told me that I live too far in Escondido… then asked to text a photo. The estimate from the other guys were way over the top and gave me scary stories about the palm getting sick if it got nicked. Robert was assuring that this would not happen as they use new blades. I was extremely nervous about my 17 year old Canary Island palm; I have never hired anyone to prune it. I watched the whole 2+ hours of work as Robert’s guys carefully shaved it’s trunk down, trimmed rows of fronds off and carved a beautiful pineapple under the canopy. Thank you Robert and crew!

We received 5 quotes and though not the lowest (only by $ 150) they were still 1/3−½ lower, than what other companies were quoting. We chose them as they are licensed, bonded and received positive reviews here on Unilocal.Their team arrived promptly and did various jobs, tree stumping, palm tree artistry, cutting down branches from over 100 ft plus tall trees, cutting up firewood, & chipping wood. They left pool area where they were working immaculate! They were simply AMAZING. We hope to have them back to do other work. Highly recommend them. They lived up to great reviews on Unilocal

Called one day. Out the next day. An hour and a half later, tree gone. Left everything clean, follow directions perfectly. Left me perfectly cut pieces of firewood. Price was very competitive, I would totally use again.

My palm trees were growing out of control into the neighbor’s yard and it was time to trim them down. Robert’s Tree Service gave me a quote the same day that I called and a reasonable time frame to get the job done. Five guys showed up at the scheduled time and trimmed the trees as promised. They even took all the debris with them and left the yard clean. I wish I had taken before and after pictures to post with this review. Robert has good references and he trimmed the trees without damaging the trunks with spikes like the last guys did. I will be using his services again!

Great value resource! Roberts crew does excellent work, is very efficient, and leaves the job site tidy. While I will bid out bigger jobs, I still chose his service even when he’s not the lowest … Robert will work with the homeowner to do what he can to keep the job within budget. Never disappointed.

Robert gave an estimate the day that I called. Two days later he has just completed the most awesome job removing a palm tree and trim another overgrown camphor tree. They were in and out in less than 2 hours cleaning up any debris in the yard. What a great job, I would use their services again for sure. Robert was so nice and professional…

Robert came out the day after I called for an estimate. The day after that, his crew showed up to start work. It had been years since our huge backyard had been cleared. Our palms were overgrown, the California Pepper tree branches touched the ground, and our huge yucca cacti had tons of old fronds hanging down. The crew did an amazing job, and I’ll be sure to invite Robert’s Tree Service back in a couple of years to do the job again!

Robert and his crew did a great job removing my 50ft palm tree. Robert immediately returned my call for an estimate and showed up within the hour to check out the job. He arrived early in the morning as promised and efficiently removed my Palm tree. He hauled the tree parts and shrubs and completely cleaned up. I highly recommend Robert for his tree service. Excellent service!

Robert’s just trimmed our trees for the third time in about eight years and his crew does such an excellent job I had to come and write a Unilocal review for them and put them on the grid.
We first hired Robert when our trees were big – now they’re montrous – but his crew climbs up them and, skillful as surgeons, they cut out just the right branches to keep them beautiful and prevent our neighbors from complaining about overhang into their yards.
Just like we did four years ago, we Unilocaled and Googled other tree services here in North San Diego County and received five bids, and once again Robert’s Tree Service was over a third lower than the next lowest bid. Last year, I’m afraid we made the mistake of having our gardener trim the trees with the disastrous result that he topped all the trees – trees that we planted because they grow taller and narrower than most to accomodate our long and narrow backyard – what a mistake!
So glad to have been able to hire Robert’s back this year and have the job done right! When we need our trees trimmed in another 2 – 3 years we won’t be bothering with gathering bids – Robert’s has our business for life now!
