George's Tree Services in Downey

I hired George’s Tree Service after talking to Tom about my concerns of having my gardener climb the high trees. I felt much better hiring a licensed and insured company with many more years of experience trimming the tall trees, especially the tall palm trees which are now about 30’ to 40’ tall. They did an excellent job on the trimming and were great cleaning up and hauling away all the palm fronds that were removed. Some of the fronds were 15 feet long, and there was a huge pile of them. They also trimmed the Phoenix Palms, Sago Palms, Mediterranean Fan Palms, Giant Bird of Paradise, Carrot Wood Tree, and some other trees and bushes, and the price was very reasonable, compared to what I have paid other tree trimmers. I highly recommend George’s Tree Service and crew, and now they’re my go-to regular tree trimmer. My neighbors I have recommended them to have also been very happy with their service. Five Stars!

Had several overgrown trees that my neighbor was complaining about due to his pool. The quote was reasonable and we didn't have to wait long for our appointment. They were professional working on both sides of the fences to make our neighbors happy as well. Trees look great, clean up and haul away above and beyond! Thank you! We will be telling everyone how great your services were!

Very responsive and reliable service. Staff are professional, removed all trimmings, great teamwork. I would highly recommend George’s Tree Service.

I live in Lakewood and I've heard several good remarks about George's Tree service. Even though their in Downey, Lakewood isn't that far away. I gave them a call and Tom Cox's came out the next day to give me some sort of estimate on some Queen palms that needed topping. There was some other light shrubs that needed to be cut back. He seem very professional, and it appeared that he was well familiar with everything I was asking about. I accepted his proposal, and they came out the same day that we had agreed on for the service. Very professional company, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

I have worked with this tree service to cut and trim the trees at my home for nearly 25 years. Excellent service, well priced, professional, clean, lisecensed, and bonded. Some services try to offer lower prices or fly by night service, but George's is the real deal. They say you get what you pay for, and I know if you go with someone else to save a few bucks you'll wish that you had called these guys instead. Large company quality, friendly neighborhood business prices. Worth the call.

I have been using George's Tree Service for over 20 years. I am not sure who left the previous feedback, but it is not reflective of the service I have received from George's. They always arrived on time and left the area clean when finished. Never had any problems with the trimming and they had always perfectly shaped my trees. I would personally highly recommend George's Tree Service for any work.

I have used George’s Tree Service several times over the years. Their quality of work is excellent and consistent. The owner bids the work himself and is always involved to be sure the customer is happy with the work before they leave the property.

ENTIRELY INEXPERIENCED AND UNTRAINED. Do not use this service. They are untrained and have absoloutely no idea what they're doing. Entirely self taught, and will cost you more in the long run to have to upkeep and manage your tree(s). This service is notorious for going around Downey and tree topping, which if you just google "tree topping" there are several of examples as to why it isn't recommended to do this as it exposes them to rot, decay and infection. It damages the tree and leaves it powerless. TOPPING IS NOT HOW YOU PROPERLY CUT OR PRUNE A TREE. They came out to my property and I asked them to prune the 3 mid-large trees in my yard. I had to leave to run errands, come back to find the trees in my yard have been TOPPED. Nothing left. Sliced in half and exposed at the top, bare ugly branches. It looked terrible and left my front yard with ZERO shade. The birds in my yard now have no home, the hummingbirds as well. All desalinated. Because these guys would rather self learn to make a buck chopping your tree down rather than GOOGLE and LEAN how to properly do so. One person with a hint of common sense knows this is not how you properly cut a tree and understands the heaping of problems this causes for the tree's recovery. Someone that doesn't know what they're doing, would have no problem with this. Tree topping leads to ugly trees which require even more management and pruning in future. It's going to cost you more to manage these trees. Topped trees look ugly. The severe topping leads to the growth of multiple water sprouts. Unless you want your tree to be hideously hacked to death and "topped" left to die, don't use this service. They don't care about how your landscaping looks or if it's the best thing for your plants or trees. They just want money.
