This tree service was used by our city to trim palm trees along our streets. I watched 3 different bucket trucks trim different trees and they were all done with perfection, the operators were experienced with chainsaw trimming. The clean up crew left it cleaner than before the trimming started and they were amazingly quick. This is a great tree service!

They arrived on time on a Monday morning at 7 am sharp. They handled the palm trees in a meeting methodical manner. I appreciate that they cleaned up and did their job with care.

Wanted to recognize this company with Ignacio Lopez and Marcellino on their professionalism and quality of tree trimming which was excellent. They really knew what they were doing and was non stop when trimming our parkway tree and clean-up with other team members. Our tree looks outstanding with the trimming job and I thank them for a job well done!!!!

This morning this company parked a full sized roll-off dumpster completely blocking our driveway for over an hour while they were doing tree service. When my wife needed to get out of our driveway for work she asked one of the crew who laughed snarkily her with an unapologetic condescending tone. It took calling the police, parking enforcement and WCA to have the truck moved. No apologies for the inconvenience. Don't hire these unprofessional clowns.

I had left a review regarding Wallace Birch, the recycling coordinator. My review was not as fair or accurate as it should have been. Wallace personally came to see me to see if he could provide some assistance. He was professional and polite. I explained to Wallace that I was trying to reach out to him to possibly open another wood yard in the Antelope Valley using my 7 acre property to facilitate. Thank you Wallace for coming out to palmdale to see me. I hope there is a possibility to get a business relationship with WCA in the near future.

The city of HB hired West Coast Arborists in May 2020, and they did a phenomenal job in our neighborhood. Every tree was trimmed and cleaned and cleaned up after. The workers, from trimmers to clean up crew were nice and professional with the locals. The city has trimmed the trees many times over the years, but never has a service stood out so much that I felt compelled to write a review. I don't know how much they charge, but I can attest to their quality work. Well done.

The worst! I have never seen trimmed this way. They trimmed the trees in Buena Park today. The trees are lopsided, full of holes. An arborist may own the company, but the guys that do the trimming are not! I ask one of the guys about one of the trees. He said to me he just saw it and was going to ask the guy who trimmed it about it. Nothing happened.

We had a 40 foot tall palm tree cracking & dangerously tilting & while swaying in the wind on our curbside parkway. The city brought in Alejandro Valenzuela the foreman for West Coast Arborists, Inc in La Mesa to complete his assessment. After making his assessment and upon approval he brought his crew out & they removed the palm tree quickly & safely. After the removal their clean up job was meticulous.
In our dealings with Alejandro he was courteous, professional, and understanding of our concerns for our neighbor's safety.
We would recommend this company and especially

A tree owned by the City of Santa Clarita at the end of my driveway had branches that had grown across the driveway. I am moving soon, and a 13'6" high moving truck needs to be able to pull into my long driveway. A different truck that came for our piano couldn't pull in. I contacted the City, and they hired West Cost Arborists to come and save the day, which they did! They trimmed the tree back and left plenty of room for the tall moving truck to pass through, and they were also able to maintain a beautiful, healthy look to the tree. They came well ahead of my moving date, and so now I can sleep

Very professional work. They did an extraordinary job cutting a huge pine tree in my front yard. They are very fast and time efficient, and also very clean. The tree was cut perfectly with no trace whatsoever. The workers are also very nice and helpful, John and Francis handled the job perfectly.

Do not, do not, hire these guys. Today I watched them try for an hour to figure out how to work the crane so they could trim palm trees. The supervisor sent a guy up with a teeny hand saw after he didn't know how to start the power saw.
They've destroyed a cactus garden and torn palm leaves off that weren't ready to be taken off.
Don't hire anybody from this company if you want professional workers.

WCA was out this morning to ant a new tree in our easement on behalf of the City of El Cajon and Eduardo Garcia and his crew did a great job! They had the right tools and equipment to dig thru the hard granite we live on and were done in a short period of time. Tree looks great and you couldn't tell they were there after the clean up!

I have to say, after reading the 3 previous reviews I'm not inclined to spend to much time on this.
West Coast Arborists were hired by the city of Vista to prune trees lining some of the city streets. This means that any tree approaching the street from a persons yard can be cut back. More like butchered. I have spent the last 5 years carefully pruning out 63 year old Magnolia tree to get it to the point that it has a beautiful, even umbrella shaped crown. Unfortunately West Coast made certain that it will never have one again. The cuts were incredibly poor ( face cuts, flush cuts and stub

These people came out and cut my tree this morning, apparently by request of the street cleaner. Seriously? The street cleaner? They BUTCHERED my tree. Claimed that they were going to "prune" it, but cut off HUGE branches. It looks so sad and just AWFUL. The foreman came out after I called and voiced my concerns; he was rude, condescending, and pointless to deal with. Horrible company that will destroy your trees. Because of the street cleaner.

Mike Palat, Area Manager for West Coast Arborists, was referred to us by the Urban Forests Council. Sadly, not responsive to questions, nor available to help with tree issues.

Disrespecting a neighborhood is no way to promote your company.

LEARN WHAT "NORMAL HOURS" ARE. 6AM is NOT the time to run a chainsaw.
