Tip Top Arborists
Tip Top Arborists is a full service tree care company. Our team of ISA certified arborists and tree workers have been servicing Lancaster, Palmdale, Santa Clarita, Hesperia, Valencia, Victorville and surrounding Southern California communities since 1976. We deliver the best advice and latest knowledge on tree health.

Whether you have a tree that needs to be assessed for potential damage or pests, a tree that is leaning or has damaged limbs or questionable root systems, or trees that you would like removed for aesthetic reasons, we have the tools and the experienced team of tree care professionals best suited to complete your job.

You only have one chance trimming, pruning or cutting down a tree, so you better make sure you hire a tree service company who will get it done right the first time. All too often we meet homeowners who failed miserably to trim, prune or remove their trees by themselves. Their actions caused more problems than they solved.
Services
Tip Top Arborists was established in 1976 to provide arborist and tree services throughout the Antelope, Santa Clarita, Victor and Tehachapi Valley regions in northern Los Angeles County, California.
As an commercial organic grower, I need the very best quality mulch for mulching my beds and making my own compost. Jim and Jason from Tip Top ensure that the quality of my mulch is the best I can acquire. In addition, their crews are some of the best trained arborists I've come across. When they say on time and the best quality, they mean it, act it, and believe in it.
When the health or appearance of your trees requires professional treatment and care, it is critical you choose a certified arborist company you can trust. At Tip Top Arborists, we are committed to being that company for residential and commercial customers throughout Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, Victor Valley and Tehachapi Valley.
Tip Top Arborists tree trimming will help ensure your California trees will live long, healthy and safe in Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, Victor Valley and Tehachapi Valley. Trimming large trees is dangerous work which is why we recommend tree trimming be done by one of our technicians. They are ISA trained to use proper pruning techniques, from thinning to reductions, on trees of any shape and size.
At Tip Top Arbrorists we provide safe tree removal when the tree is beyond repair from severe damage and can not be saved. Our ISA certified tree removal pros take the time to carefully plan how best to remove the tree in order to avoid any mistakes or accidents that could injure our crew, equipment or customers property.

Great company to work with. They show up timely. The work is clean and professional. They even make sure your property doesn't get damaged. They kindly let you know to move vehicles if they foresee an issue. I love this company because they are so responsive if they have to reschedule. Estimates are emailed timely along with photos.

Tip Top Arborists have had a great reputation for years, so we decided to call for a consultation/quote. Tom was extremely knowledgeable about the variety of trees we needed to have trimmed and made excellent recommendations. He was very thorough when explaining their certifications and procedures the crew would follow. The price quote was reasonable, the crew showed up on time, they were efficient and all the debris was hauled away so the yard looked perfect when they were done. We will definitely call them again!

Tom Baal initially came to my residence and drew up a detailed description of the work I wanted done and gave me a tentative price estimate. Within five days he sent me an email with a contract detailing the work to be done and the cost. The contract covered all that we had discussed on his visit to my residence, which made me feel good in proceeding with the work. Soon thereafter I approved the contract on line and a date and time was set up to commence the work. The whole process of setting up an initial estimate and contract went efficiently. The work crews showed up on time and reviewed with

The crew arrived early to set up and were ready to begin at the appointment time. They trimmed my California Pepper Tree beautifully and cleared a few of the roots that were potential problems. My yard looked so much better when the finished. They cleaned up all trimmings and debris in the yard and around the chipper. Will definitely hire when necessary. Very Happy we hired Tip Top.

The crew arrived early to set up and were able to begin on time. They were very thorough and trimmed my California Pepper tree beautifully. Helped remedy a couple of toot issues as well. Clean up was spectacular, cleaned up yard and the area where their chipper was parked. Would definitely hire Tip Top Arborist again.

Guy was so cool to spare me some time on my backyard trees and landscape. He also recommended me a nursery that would know more on my species of trees and issues. When I told him my situation he made time to stop by knowing that he was only going to give quick assessment and advice on a couple dying trees.

The first time they came out they were great. Good direction good people, the second time they came out they did not do as good a job as the first visit, called them to let them know I had some concerns about the way they trimmed the trees this time, waited days for a return call, never received a call back... now when I call they no longer service my area... well there you go ...good luck finding competent service people!.

Tip Top Arborists was a great company to work With. Chris, the Certified Arborist/Estimator, came out to my home to give me a price for having trees trimmed, four of which are Chilean Pepper Trees in the front of the house. Chris answered all of my questions, gave me a verbal quote, and the next day the office called to set up an appointment for the work to be done. A few weeks later the crew of four showed up on time, and Jose was the foreman with the bucket truck. Another thing that impressed me was that Chris, the original estimator, showed up at the same time to brief Jose so that my trees

Their employees from estimator, to office staff to the tree removal crew were nice, professional and very easy to work with. I recommend them, 100%, for any service they can provide.

This is the most reliable, efficient, and professional tree service I have worked with in the last 30 years. These people truly know trees and they are the masters of their craft. I have hired them for two different properties and have never been less than very satisfied. Good counsel, great work, and ever exceptional clean-up! Thank you Tom Baal and Tip Top!

I had a huge 50 ft. Pine tree removed today I can now sleep without worry that that monster would fall on my house. I held my breath and prayed on windy and snow days.
This company is the best. I would not hesitate to call them again. They had a crew of 4 very knowledgeable arborists . I highly recommended this company. It was not cheap but they were able to cut down this huge tree and leave the property clean. No damage. I'm a happy customer.

Tip Top Arborists was awesome and exceeded expectations! Jim, the owner, showed up the day I called for an estimate. He emailed the estimate by the end of the business day. They were able to come out to do the work within a week. Jim showed up on the first day with his crew to review the job list and they quickly and efficiently removed four large trees and several stumps. They were on time, courteous, and cleaned up the yard immaculately. They came back a second day to finish up. They repaired sprinklers that got damaged in the process and replaced an exterior light on the patio that broke from

I've been using Tip Top for a few years now and am very pleased with their work. Chris comes out timely and gives an honest quote and communicates in a way I can understand as a layman. Izzy and his team go above and beyond and leave the job site in good clean condition. You won't be disappointed with this company, just the opposite.

I got a quote awhile back. There said it was good for 6 months. That was perfect because I knew I didn't want to have the trees removed just yet. I called almost at the end of the 6 months, and got scheduled. They called a couple weeks later said a spot had opened up and asked if want them to come the next day. Yes! So they came, worked quickly and efficiently. And surprisingly quiet for all they did. Those trees made a huge mess but they cleaned up even better than it looked before! Highly recommend to everyone! Thank you so much!

These guys are the most legit arborists in the AV. All professional crew and the work is unparalleled. I got a quote to remove a huge sycamore looming over my driveway/house/street and they threw in the dead trunk that was right next to it for no extra cost! Very satisfied.

I have been using Tip Top Arborists for years. They have been coming out every other year to crown clean, thin, and shape my Chinese Pistache tree. They have always done a awesome job every time.
They are very professional. I would highly recommend them.

Meeting my new neighbors I was horrified to see that the roots from my Australian willow tree had undermined my neighbors driveway and side walk causing major damage. My new neighbor stated that he would cut the roots from the tree and I thought it would be best to have the tree removed. I started my search with my gardener and other non-licensed arborist. My gardener explain that he would have to rent all of the equipment and he would not be able to make any money on the project.

The price range was over $1000 to have the tree removed. I decided to give tiptop a chance and was surprised that
