Jim Brown’s Tree Service

The work is top notch. The problem is getting in touch with them. Mailbox is consistently full and variable chance of getting called back within one’s lifetime. I use them every year because of the quality, but do not use them if you need a job done in a timely manner.

I’ve been trying to get an estimate from these people for 2 months because of their positive reviews. For the first month, all I could get was a message saying that the mailbox was full. Then, a month ago I finally got ahold of someone that said that if I gave them my info, they would call me back to set up an estimate time and day. Guess what? After a month, still no call back.
Don’t let them waste your time like they’ve wasted mine

Really want to get all the great businesses rated here on Unilocal.Jim Brown’s is another.
I’ve used Jim B’s service three times now, and each and every time they were on time, professional, and had all the things they needed to leave my property looking fantastic! (No cut tree laying around for a week like another service).
The crew worked hard, they were fast and efficient, and even include junk hauling, so I got them to take my big old junk from my garage that was too big for me and my lil gurly arms to do a curbside pick-​up (I did have the pile all located in my side yard to make it easy on them and myself).
Prices are more than fair, licensed, bonded, removes tree stumps too, and has other services as well.
Thank you Jim B for giving me great service! Don’t hesitate to give their service your business!

Was supposed to be at our house early after noon, well it’s 4:00, no show, no phone call, not answering his phone… A friend recommended, thats just not good service

We had several people come give us an estimate to remove a tree and to do some major pruning (we are another example of previous owner’s «Tree Don’ts). Gerald came out and was super professional and knowledgable about all our trees and gave us an estimate to remove the tree and suggested we wait to do the major pruning that we needed.
Now, with all the estimates we got Jim’s was a little higher than the lowest one but we went with them anyway… for starters, the guys with the lower estimate basically said, «you might want to remove all that stuff because branches will be falling all over the place.» The second reason we went with them is because Gerald didn’t want to take our money NOW and put the trees we needed pruned at risk. He wanted to wait for the sale because it’s the best thing to do for the trees. I already have my tentative appointment scheduled and we will do the major job in the fall.
The team also got here on time, covered my windows with plywood to be safe, had a city permit to block off the lane, worked nonstop, and were done removing a monstrous rubber tree within three hours.
Jim Brown’s Tree Service now has a lifelong customer.

They are great! I got an in-​person quote the same day I called Gerald and had the work done the next morning. They showed up on time, were professional, did a great job and did it quickly! They were affordable and super easy to work with! I would definitely recommend them and will certainly be using them again!

Our property is a great example of «Tree Don’ts». Previous owners have made astoundingly bad tree choices all over our ½ acre. We’ve had Jim’s crew out twice for some big jobs. The last one was radically pruning 6 extremely thorny Palo Verde trees and removing another, all growing closely up against a fence on a sloped driveway. Then there was the giant pepper tree growing on a steep slope of loose dirt. The accumulated Palo Verde debris was at least 6 inches deep, with more in some spots, with a layer of dirt and rocks. I’m talking one *ugly* job. The trees were taken down to exactly the height I’d specified, and every bit of branches and twigs, as well as the pre-​existing mess was cleaned up. The dangerously heavy pepper tree is now a light, lacey beauty. As with the previous job of heavy pruning on 60′ olive trees with power lines running through them, I thought it would take all day but it was amazingly quick. They send a full crew who work well together and must be very organized to do such a good job so quickly. Jim replies to all messages and listens when you tell him what you want done. The men on his crew have a good attitude and do a thorough, professional job. I find the prices to be beyond reasonable, and will continue to call Jim for our ongoing tree corrections and maintenance.

Jim boils to the top of my list in many ways. First off, I called three places to get estimates and Jim is the only one that replied. As such, I cannot speak for price comparison, but I feel his price was reasonable considering the environment they had to work in. Several of our trees have hard wired lanterns in them (Think of Disneyland) and his crew worked around them with extreme care. I expected at least one to break in the process but they get an A+++ for care and caution. The second best surprise was to come home after work and find my tree’s all opened up and light looking, they didn’t chop them off in a hurry, very natural looking. Lastly, they cleaned up so well, they picked up leaves that were on the ground before they got here not related to the prune job. In all seriousness, they left things cleaner than when they arrived. There is no hidden agenda with this team, this is straight forward hard work with a can-​do attitude.

Jim B’s tree service was great! Jim came and gave me a quote and was professional and seemed to know his stuff. The price was great and he and his team were able to tackle my «small forest» in the time frame he gave me. His guys were super nice and cleaned up everything when they were done. I highly recommend using his services.

This is the first time I have ever given a review. I had Jim B’s tree service out to my home yesterday. Not only was his price better than everyone else, but he is the kindest guy and so is his partner. They have the best customer service that I have had in a very long time. They knew what they were doing to trim my tree and not whack it. I had two trees removed and a very large one trimmed and they left my yard very clean, they even blew the street and my front porch off. I will only call them back out to do my annual trimmings or as needed. Great bunch of guys

Showed up on time for quote for tree service. Two trees removed and huge jacaranda was trimmed. The crew showed up on time for the work to be done too. Left everything cleaner than it was beforehand. I will be calling them again with any future service needed.

Jim Browns’ Tree Service sets the standard of what tree trimming services should be. I got several quotes and Jim’s knowledge of my tree species and the best methods to cut them impressed me. His pricing was fair and reasonable. But what’s best is Jim and his crew’s great attitudes and strong work ethic. Two neighbors complimented on how great they were and one of them happens to be a certified arborist. She said that she rarely sees a tree trimming company that knows how to properly cut all of the various species the way this company did. I would undoubtedly recommend this company to all of my friends and colleagues.

I cannot say enough good things about Jim B’s Tree Service. They were efficient, knowledgeable, and they left my yard cleaner than it was before they came! The price was fair also. I would recommend this service to anyone.

A few different people recommended them, so I thought we’d be okay. Plus, his bid to remove our trees & vegetation was lower than the others, and now I know why. He assured me repeatedly that the bid included stump grinding, but now we have suckers coming up after only a few weeks and he wants to charge me to come back out. The crew was extremely messy & disorganized, and also damaged some irreplacable antique/​arty yard decorations that were out of the way, but apparently still too close. I’m kind of surprised someone didn’t get hurt on the job. At the end of the job, he was pissed off because it took longer than expected, so they sort of left in a huff. I do not recommend them!!!
