JR’s Tree Service and Landscape

JR and his crew took a large tree down for us that was beginning to undermine the house foundation. They were on time, very professional, and courteous. There was an older wood fence and arbor where a few branches knocked out several boards as they fell. JR found the same size and shape pickets and came out personally the next day to repair the damage. When they were finished everything was swept and cleaned. The job ending up taking longer than he thought, but he stuck to his original bid. These guys are great! I recommend them highly.

JR and his guys came and trimmed all my trees today, they did a great job I couldn’t be happier. The price was reasonable and they even left me the chips so i could use them as mulch! I had a huge redwood that needed topping because of the drought, Rudy climbed it and did the job in a couple of cuts. Jaime even put up with my late requests to cut more after they were out of the tree. all the guys were very accomodating and polite.
Thanks guys. I will definitely recommend your company and will be calling again if I need more landscaping work.

J.R. did an awesome job with a difficult situation, he put a row of beautiful trees in a spot that was formally a cement patch and he turned an ugly palm dessert into a lovely rose garden. He is very knowledgeable of plants and what works and gives you a good indication of what you are going to get in the end. He did a thorough budget that was reasonable and accurate and never came back asking for more money as many contractors do! He did exactly what he said he was going to do and in the time he said it would take. Very nice guy to talk to as well! I highly recommend him if you know what you want.

I’ve used JR’s Tree and Landscape service for almost a year. JR’s crew did the initial clean-​up of my yard when I purchased my house, and then began weekly maintenance. Recently, after putting in a pool, JR re-​landscaped the backyard, opening up a space that before (because of poorly placed plantings and some choices that did not fit the architecture of the house) made the yard look small, messy and a little jungle-​esque in some ways!
Included in the recent landscaping was the trimming of most of the trees (there is one we are waiting until January to cut back), the removal of succulents that while appropriate in California were not so appropriate with the English Tudor architecture on the property; planting of ground cover, plumerias (in a shady area obviously!), roses, cherry hedges, jasmine, mulching, reconnecting some previously existing and laying of new sprinkler lines, and some more clean-​up toward the back of the property.
The result is a clean-​looking, opened up space with an appropriate garden for the architectural style in addition to location of plantings and California climate that is on a water-​saving but plant-​appropriate timed sprinkler system. The front yard was cleaned-​up almost a year ago when I first purchased the property. We have kept all of the mature fruit and pine trees (some almost 90 years old and still bearing fruit!), and of course the old camellia bushes that were planted when the house was built in 1926.
JR’s guys who perform the weekly maintenance service are always on time, have never missed a week (they take one week vacation every year in August, but JR sends all his clients notice ahead of time) and they do a terrific job keeping up almost 11,000 square feet of property! The guys who work for him are clean-​cut, nice, polite and most of them are fluent in both English and Spanish. JR is not the cheapest landscaper out there, but often with weekly maintenance and landscaping, you get what you pay for — and they have transformed a yard that was over-​grown, messy and stylistically not quite right into a clean, pleasant oasis that encourages one to spend more time outside in the California sunshine!
I’m attaching some pictures both before and after — the transformation is quite astonishing! I highly recommend JR for both weekly maintenance and also for clean-​up, tree trimming, installing sprinkler systems and landscaping your property — he’s pretty easy to deal with, does what he says he is going to do, when he says he’s going to do it, and for the price that you agreed upon.
