Jane H.

I wouldn't hire anybody else to do any work on my trees. I recommend him to anybody that needs this type of work. The artful work that he does on the trees is spectacular.

Description of Work
He's been doing work for me for the past several years. He does all my landscaping, pruning and cutting of all my trees as well as occasional planting. He's my go-to arborist.

Didier was on time for initial expert consultation, and completed all the work as scheduled. His crew was courteous, considerate, finished in a few hours and left the area completely clean. We now have a beautifully trimmed willow and a fine new Brisbane Box tree.

Description of Work
One sidewalk willow tree badly needed trimming, the other willow needed to be removed and replaced with a new tree.

My earlier comments detail what was done - and done well.

Description of Work
Didier responded quickly to my query on Angie's list. He showed up on time for our first meeting and explained everything very carefully to me. He showed up on the day of the actual work to make sure all was ready for his men to do the tree trimming/shaping. He was responsive to the request for slight modifications in the work. He acted as a professional and gentleman.

I ended up needing to wait for my walnut tree to have its leaves for longer, so he did the estimate in June and came back in September. They completed all the work in one day. The trees look great and they hauled away all the debris. I'm very happy with the job they did. He did exactly what he said they would. I wasn't home during the work and I'm glad I was able to trust them to do good work without me having to be there. I will use them again when my trees need to be trimmed. I highly recommend them.

Description of Work
Trimmed two trees, cut down several smaller trees and two bigger trees, removed large juniper bush, cleaned up palm tree, and trimmed Camilla bush.

MAUREEN O.

Didier determined the trees could not be saved because of root rot, which is what caused them to fall over. The two other bids we got said the same thing. Didier, however, gave me great detail over how I was overwatering, over mulching, how competing plants were getting too little water. It was an extremely valuable tutorial, something he did not need to do. The next day he happened to be driving past our house and noticed gushing water from our irrigation system. He stopped, rang our bell and pointed it out. His rates are already reasonable, however it's the extra care he takes which not only reveals his vast knowledge but also provides enormous value.

Description of Work
Came quickly to evaluate 2 trees fallen in a windy rainstorm.

Excellent. Didier is a true artist. His work is impeccable and communication skills are superb. Came with his crew and all the equipment required, minimal disruption and very complete supervision. I'm very satisfied and enjoyed the interaction. He honored is quote to the penny. Don't forget to tip the workers. Three cheers.

Description of Work
Trim, thin and shape five street trees and a large Magnolia.

Rusty H.

We've been using him for a while. Does good work. A little expensive but that's the only drawback. If our stupid Pittosporum didn't grow so fast, I wouldn't complain about the price... but the price is fair and the quality is good. I'm happy enough with his services that I don't feel a need to find someone else to do it. I've seen other tree pruners on our street and they just butcher the trees. Didier is artistic and he directs his people to make the tree look really nice.

Description of Work
Reduce/prune and shape a large Pittosporum; remove deadwood. Cleanup and hauling.

Didiier did an amazing job of pruning our Holly Tree. The tree had not been pruned in more than 5 years and it was a dangled mess. We needed to prune it for some upcoming work in our backyard. When Didier and team were done the Holly tree was really thinned out and it looked great. It gave us so much more open space than I had imagined we could get. They also cut down a plum tree and took out its roots. A very professional job, at a reasonable rate and down in a good timeframe

laura M.

When I first called he explained it would be best if I waited for the tree to be done blooming before pruning and that way I could avoid some of the shoots it was putting up all the time. No other guy had bothered to tell me that! So I called him back a few months later and he did a great job. It didn't look like it got hacked just a very good job preserving the size of the tree but definitely opening it up for more sun to come in my garden. Highly recommend.

MAUREEN O.

Didier is in a league of his own. We have a lot of trees in the front and back of our home, and over the years we've worked with most, if not all, of the well known arborists. His knowledge alone distinguished him from the other bids we were considering. He has a great aesthetic, was easy and professional to work with, and reasonably priced. I'd call him again in a heartbeat, and plan to.

Description of Work
Removed a fatally diseased tree (that another well know national Tree Expert Company was recommending we medicate, quarterly, at $400/dose). Replaced tree with 3 smaller Dodonea viscosa. Groomed/shaped 7 other trees. Extended irrigation system at no cost.

I was prepping my house for sale and Didier pruned an approximately 15' yew tree and did an excellent job for me. I would certainly hire him again but I moved from the Bay Area.

We agreed that he could start the work at that very time. He did so and was done rather quickly. My wife and I are very pleased as to the result.

I sent a request for a quote. Never heard back. But I can't find a website for this company and there haven't been any recent reviews. Does Angie's list check these listings?

Description of Work
I am correcting my review. After I wrote that I wasn't sure the company was in business any more, I did hear from them. In the meantime I had contacted another gardener so I had no further interaction with this company

Didier was prompt and professional, and very frank. He said he was more in the job of maintaining city trees (e.g. San Francisco street and garden trees) and keeping estates manicured. My project would not have made good use of his talents and he would have had to charge what he considered an 'outrageous amount' to bring crew and equipment to the suburbs. I appreciated his time and honesty. Unfortunately I am unable to fairly evaluate his price and quality of work.

Requested an estimate to remove a very large tree as well as trim another.

I spent about $2500 on that service. They were on time and we had several bids and they came in at a good price. They did a really good job and were thorough, neat, and not messy. They were also efficient. I would give them a top-notch grading. Their pricing was as good as anybody else.

I would have felt very comfortable having Didier do the work. He was open, straight forward and imformative, unfortnately, his price was not competitive with the others I had received, so I chose another Angies List highly recommended company.
