Matilde’s Tree Service

We just had Matilde and her team come in and remove all of the huge, invasive, overgrown bamboo in our yard. The bamboo was interfering with our electricity/​telephone lines, breaking its way into the garage, and was a terrible mess. Her entire team worked very hard for almost 2 days, and ended up removing every last bit. I am so happy with how everything turned out. Her prices were competitive and Matilde is a sweetheart. She was here overseeing and directing everything her team did. Her sons are great too — they came to provide a free estimate and also did a ton of work. This is a true family owned business and I am so happy that I could support such a hard working crew.

They did a great job, removing a giant tree that had fallen down, and trimming another tree, which is now growing in beautifully. They were fast, clean, and very easy to deal with. Definitely recommend!

Great Service! Called on Monday, she came by on Tuesday, tree was gone on Wednesday. The price was fair, no damage done to my property and they cleaned up after themselves.

I am so impressed! I liked Matilde’s attitude and her confidence from the get-​go. I had called a bunch of services I had read about from Unilocal.Some good and some not so good. Matilde gave me a competitve price and came through with a fast and beautiful job in less time than she had thought. (it’s New Years Eve, so I think this made everyone happy!)
Originally, I was a bit gun shy with my neighbors tree that had overgrown into my back yard in a big way. My neighbor isn’t very pleasant and I was ready for a fight but Matilde’s crew was so careful that nothing fell into the other yard as well as trimming back the tree just enough that there was no problem! Big PHEW!
It takes a talent to trim back big trees and still give them some personality. They did this and then some… Matilde even brought me a few taquitos when she went for lunch. She is a sweetheart! I’m happy to support a female run company especially when they are the BEST!
I’m already looking for other projects for them! Such a breath of fresh air! I want them to do all my work around my house! :)

Great service!!! I called for a quote and Danny came to my house quickly on the same day to check out my tree that I needed removed and got me a quote right away. My tree was hanging over my fence and falling all over my neighbor’s garage and back yard. Danny even called my neighbor to make arrangements to make sure she was home and that his team would have access to clean up her backyard as well. On the day of the removal, Matilde came right on time and stayed the entire time to oversee the removal of my tree. The service was great and they even cleaned up my yard and disposed of the tree they removed. I am very happy with the service and highly recommend Matilde and Danny for any tree removal needs. I plan on hiring them to build a block wall for my back yard as well. Thank you so much!

40′ palm tree in my yard needed removal. So I called Matilde’s based on reviews here. Matilde’s son Danny came out for a look the morning after I called, we negotiated a good price, and two days later the deed is done. Matilde and her guys are seasoned pros, have the best equipment and know how to use it quickly and efficiently. The tree came down in three-​foot chunks, fronds put in the chipper, stump ground down to below grade, and everything hauled away, all in about 3 hours. Highest recommendation! Muy buena gente, muy simpaticos!

I bid out several tree services to take down 2 medium sized trees on my property. Matilde’s provided a free estimate, and they turned out to be the lowest cost. They scheduled the work within 24 hours of telling them to proceed. They also agreed to follow up in a few weeks to make sure everything looked good. Highly recommended.

Matilde and Danny run a great business.
Fair bidding. Reliable. Excellent work.

Matilde arrived early. She was very friendly and easy to get to know. Her crew worked fast and efficiently. They cleaned up very well and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Was completely satisfied we will defenetly be calling her for all our tree trimming needs. Punctual, quick, clean, BEST PRICE IN TOWN!!! Matilde and her crew are just great people to work with I highly recommend her! 5 STARS Thanks Danny and Matilde.

Cannot do!

A privacy hedge in the backyard of a rental property I manage had gotten out of control — it was beyond a height my regular gardeners could deal with. I found Matilde’s Tree Service here on Unilocal and given the good reviews decided to have her come out for a quote, which she was able to do within 2 days of me contacting her. I was happy with the quote and went forward with the work.
Because the hedge is shared with a neighbor they had asked to be present when the trimming work was done so I had to schedule the service about 3 weeks in advance. When the day finally arrived she brought out a large truck and chipper to make sure she would be able to take all the hedge material away. She clearly has invested in the right professional equipment to handle large jobs. Her worker carefully pruned the hedge to the height we wanted, also trimmed the front and sides of the hedge and cleaned up all the trimmings from the ground which was appreciated. I got to chat with Matilde and found her to be very pleasant and will definitely contact her in the future. We plan to have her trim the hedge annually to keep it from getting as overgrown as it had.

Many times I’ve hired Matilde and her crew of very dedicated, efficient and hard workers. Most visits involved removal of dead pine trees. This time it was for heavy brush clearance. I barely recognize the property after they left. So clean!

I called Matilde to cut down a huge palmtree in my backyard and she did a spectacular job. She and her crew came early in the morning and got straight to work. They began chopping and disposing of the pieces, they also got rid of the tree stump. In addition, Matilde didn’t charge ridiculous amounts of money like the other companies I had gotten estimates from. She is the best, and her personality is amazing. Thank you Matilde!

Knowledgeable, fair priced tree trimming in la! Very easy and clear communications with Matilde. They know what they are doing and not looking to gauge your pocketbook with unnecessary work. We will be her forever customer!

Thank you to Matilde and her team for trimming the giant tree in our front yard. It is one of those that is on our property but owned by the city. In the process, she dealt with a crazy «arborist» who tried to ruin the job. If that man had any expertise at all in trees, he would have known we were doing it a favor. «Trimming» is not «chopping.» Matilde educated us on what was happening with the tree (it had large dead branches weighing it down, and sap coming out some areas of bark– indicating that it was sick), and also had our best interest at heart. Our neighbor also hired her team for a big tree job. Thanks again, Matilde!

I called Matilde on Tuesday to ask for a mulch delivery for my front lawn. She said she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to find a good quality tree to make good mulch from. However, she kindly suggested to give me a call if she found one during the week, and two days later she called saying she could deliver a eucalyptus that same day.
She showed up that afternoon with a full truckload of very good quality eucalyptus mulch, along with some equally good quality branches for firewood. She and her coworker Victor were super helpful and friendly and gave me advice on landscaping as well. All in all, I was very satisfied with the service and I’d definitely call them again if I need mulch delivery in the future. Obviously, I’d highly recommend them for whatever specialized landscaping and tree care service you need.

Matilde, Danny and their crew were incredibly professional, prompt and pleasant to work with.
I needed a palm tree removed from the front of my house. It was planted long before I bought the place and it was butted up against the foundation and roof edge. It was only a matter of time before it caused big problems.
After calling their business line on a Saturday morning and chatting with Matilde, she told me Danny would call me back within 20 minutes to make arrangements to see the tree and give an estimate. Danny came out less than an hour after I called because he was already in the area for another estimate. By Monday morning, the tree was being removed.
On Sunday I remembered I had also wanted a quote to remove an old bougainvillea stump and dead, dried rats nest of vines that were tangled in the phone lines. I texted Danny to ask if they would quote me when they came to remove the palm tree. Matilde was able to do it while her guys were working hard chopping down the palm When I explained my budget, she worked with me on the price. But, later, when we saw how much work it ended up being to complete bougainvillea removal, we went ahead and paid the full original quote. People can’t be expected to take a loss on something like that and I was so happy that it was done.
The crew cleaned everything on my side of the fence and on the neighbor’s. I’m a picky person and was incredibly pleased by their attention to detail. I couldn’t have expected anything better!

This lady know her trees! And she takes them out fast!
I called Matilde a few weeks ago for a quote. She asked me to text a picture of the tree, and she called me back few minutes later with a quote. We weren’t able to schedule that week, but it was great to get a quote.
Called again Saturday afternoon and she got back to me Sunday morning, and came in (literally) 20min later to look at the tree and give me a better estimate. We agreed for the next day, and she was here bright and early Monday morning to take out my tree. Small crew, just Matilde and two men. As promised, she did drive up in a huge truck, complete with stump grinder and chipper.
Not an easy job. My tree rested against the foundation (reason for removal), so most of it needed to be removed by hand. They shaved it down as much as possible, very aware of water and gas lines, and pulled the remains with a landscape axe.
The whole thing took less than two hours. They removed everything, left me some mulch (my request), and offered suggestions on later work on the house.
I don’t have any more trees to remove, but I’d recommend you call Matilde if you need a tree removed. Great price, and quick turn around!
*UPDATE*
I asked for a referral on landscaping, and she passed me over to her son who does landscaping. Matilde had her crew do the job, but Danny designed and got materials. He ran a few options by me, and in the end found some good, heat tolerant plants. They worked through rainy days, which they said was a good thing! Made the soil moist. They installed new sprinklers so no maintenance required. Nothing but good things to say about this family business. If you’re not certain about some yard work, give them a call first!

Overall, excellent service! We highly recommend Matilde’s tree service.
Two of Matilde’s sons came out to our house (on a weekend) to look at our trees and give an estimate. They arrived promptly, and were really nice and helpful. It’s cool that the sons are helping this family business run so well.
Two days later, Matilde and her whole crew arrived! Matilde was exceptionally friendly, and she made sure we would be happy with the work. We had three large trees to cut down (ficus, an old citrus, and an old avocado), plus six more to trim. They set up quickly, and before we knew it they were chopping down the first tree. We left for work, and when we came home our backyard had been transformed. Not only did they cut down the trees, but they did a full yard cleanup. The previous weekend we had bagged 10 bags of yard waste from all the old trees, and guess what? Matilde’s crew removed ALL of the bags, as well as every single stray leaf on the ground. Plus they cleaned out the cements gutters running through the yard containing weeks of debris. They made our yard spotless! It’s really remarkable how far beyond the call of duty they went.
We can’t recommend them enough! It was a perfect experience, and our yard looks so much better.
