I requested an estimate for tree trimming and they sent someone within a few hours. The estimate was very reasonable, and they came out the next morning to complete the job. The workers arrived early, finished quickly and efficiently, and cleaned up thoroughly, taking away all the debris. I highly recommend this company!

They came out and looked at a small fica tree that needed shaping. We agreed on their bid, and I was told they would call with the appointment time. Two weeks passed without a call. I contacted them last Friday, and a woman put me on hold to contact somebody. She came back on and said Monday between 8 and 9am. Nobody showed up, and now it's Wed. I've called 8 times, and all calls go to voicemail. Don't waste your time.

I collaborated with Martin to clear a large hill of brush, trim several trees, repair sprinklers, remove shrubs, install a large grass area, and plant various plants around the property. Martin was reliable, quick to respond, and extremely helpful. His team finished the work on schedule and clearly took pride in their work. I highly recommend working with Martin!

They did a remarkable job of clearing ivy from my block wall fence, adding wood trim to my hillside staircase, and removing a chain-link fence as well! I highly recommend them and will certainly rely on their services for future outdoor yard projects.

Martin Gutierrez (owner) and his MGA team of Ruben, Roberto, Nacho and Miguel came through again for our diverse landscaping needs. We have used MGA Tree Service five times since 2017 and they always exceed our expectations. From trimming our huge Canary Island pine tree to our big pepper and ficus trees to hedges and general cleanup, the MGA team is always very friendly, professional, thorough and efficient. We highly recommend MGA for all of your extensive landscaping needs.
