Prunin Arboriculture & Maintenance

Avoid this company like the plague! Do not work with Rob Biehl. The reviews don’t lie. Unable to reach the man to take care of multiple stains left on patio and driveway after pruning four date palms. Very poor communication and not concerned with customer satisfaction. He has multiple addresses, so check out reviews in Irvine, Cerritos and Foothill Ranch.

This is a company to be avoided. The owner, Rob Biehl, is deceitful, dishonest. I had to hire another paver driveway contractor to come in and fix my fraudulently-​installed driveway. Biehl claimed he laid «roadbase» before placing pavers, but there was no gravel base at all under my pavers. Photos taken by second contractor prove this. So my driveway failed.
This man is a con man. Don’t know how he can stay in business!

OMG I wish I had read a review before working with this horrible company. Rob, the owner was the most deceitful, con man I’ve ever encountered. We have a sizable property with a substantial amount of trees. A neighbor recommended the company but we found out later it was when it was operated by a reputable owner. We were charged several thousand over what was given in the estimate, and expected to pay before the job was completed. Rob made promises which were never kept.
Where to start. His truck broke down in our driveway spilling the entire contents of the transmission. To help I paid to have another truck bring their equipment up to the property which I was not paid back for. When asked about the 8quarts of fluid stain on my newly paved drive he came back with two bottles of dawn dish detergent which he left for us to clean
The initial work was to enhance a view corridor of the mountains. After several attempts to do what was asked, he had his crew cut ALL branches one ONE SIDE of three trees 40′ trees. As you could imagine, this ruined the trees that were each over thirty years old. He also removed a 45′ protected (tagged) oak tree by mistake. When confronted he said to take another tag from an adjoining tree, so the forestry dept would not fine him. This offense is 10k fine and that was their response?
He promised to double chip all trimmings from the work, and evenly distribute it over the property. Instead he dumped a single 8yard pile of poorly chipped (once chipped) in our driveway, and said he would chip it again upon their return. 9 months later, and several requests he came to finish and never touched the old debris or delivered a 8yard of composted material as promised for not performing originally
I wanted to sue his company but instead contacted three other tree companies to come in and Repair, and finish the horrible work instead
I have documentation from each of the other companies as to the gross negligence of this man and his company. The balance we had previously was approx 2k, but we had to pay 4800.00 for tree services to remedy and finish the job, 700.00 for disposal of debris, and 490.00 to remedy drive way.
Then the nerve of Rob to never return emails or any correspondence, but wait 8months then send us another bill for for over 4k which he said was interest on thge original 2k balance. I saved EVERY PIECE of information from Prunin, his emails, and three other contractors whom all of which said they happily would assist in legal proceedings.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMANY

In 15 years of working as a concrete contractor, Prunin is by far one of the worst contractors I’ve ever worked with. Save your time, money and mental sanity and avoid this company like the plague. Poor customer service, unctuous billing tactics, horrible communication, the list goes on.
