White’s Tree Service

I am very happy with their services. I got a quote the same day and they were able to fit us in the next day with their busy schedule. Their team is amazing working together to have my giant tree cut down within minutes and they cleaned everything before they leave with the stump removed. They are extremely professional and they got every tools and machines needed to do the job. They have done more and well beyond the job called for. Thank you so much!!!

Totally forgot to write these guys a review they came out last year to remove two trees for my family awesome service great team very knowledgeable and caring. We’ve since sold the house and the new owners were remarking how healthy the backyard looked :)

Fantastic service. I searched for several weeks for a reputable company with all the right insurance to remove a huge eucalyptus from my back yard. Other bids may have been lower but the price offered by West Coast was still highly competitive and, after the job was completed I will say I was 100% satisfied. They were able to come sooner than promised, really worked with me on scheduling and did the job efficiently and safely.
When they were done, the yard was beautifully tidy and clean. I am a picky homeowner but West Coast Tree care met all my expectations. Highly recommended.

Great service and very professional! We had 4 big pepper trees in our backyard that badly need to get cleaned and trimmed. Our backyard looks amazing now! And they let us use their trimmers to clean up a few other things around the yard at no extra cost! Would highly recommend to anyone that needs tree trimmers!

Called them Friday 10÷2÷15 to get an estimate after another tree service called out and wasn’t able to complete my job. They sent out Jeff who gave me a great price on tree stump removal and tree trimming. Later on that day I get a call from them letting me know that they can start and finish that Friday. I’m totally happy with the work and will recommend and reuse them again. BTW Whites tree service has changed their name to West Coast tree service.

These guys were amazing. I had 2 large trees and several bushes removed. They show up on time and I was introduced to the entire crew of guys. They worked so hard and had everything done by 2 pm and the yards looked great when they were done. At the end of the day, the crew shook my hand and thanked me for hiring them. I would definitely be hiring West Coast again for landscaping jobs.
AWESOME COMPANY!!!

A+++! I wont be taking my business anywhere else. On short notice, they worked with me to fit into the schedule i needed. Additionally, these guys just went through hell and high water to get the job done. On-​time and at quote.
The crew showed early and were ready to work immediately when i saw them early. Initially, there were a couple hiccups (mostly due to old, dead wood being particularly hard on their chipper) but owner came down personally and addressed the issues extremely professionally and personably. The job was handled and completed beyond my expectations and i am extremely pleased with the result.
They just left here after cleanup and i am elated at the job being done, their professional handling of the situation, and the expediency of job completion. They even worked with DWP to make the job better for everyone!
Do yourself a favor and call them! I am already talking to them about a second job!

These guys are GREAT! They came to do a subcontracted stump removal and I could not be more pleased! They showed up when they were supposed to, went right to work and completed the job quickly. When they were done, they did a through cleanup and placed the wood chips around the garden for mulch. Outstanding!
More importantly, they are apparently one of the few places around that have this type of stump grinder which can get into very tight spaces and quickly reduce the stump to dust. I was impressed and so was the prime contractor for this job — I’m sure he will continue to use them in the future.
Nice job — THANKS!

I needed some heavy duty tree trimming and stump removal and I met Mike White training at Phenom Brazilian Jui-​Jitsu in Mission Hills (review of Phenom coming soon!). Mike struck me as a very upstanding guy and I wanted to give him my business. Mike recently changed professions and moved towards the east coast to pursue his new career.
White’s Tree Service (now West Coast Tree Service) is still in great hands! From the moment I called them I was impressed with their professionalism. Phone calls and e-​mails were returned quickly and the staff was very friendly in person giving me an estimate of the work that needed to be done. I felt that the estimate was very fair.
They showed up on the day of the appointment on time at 0730 and ready to go. They zipped through my trees and removed stumps with the greatest of ease. They were done and cleaned up by 1100. Jeff and Gonzalo were extremely friendly and very professional. They even do landscape design and we may be using them in the future for that.
West Coast Tree Service (formerly White’s Tree Service) is great. I would highly recommend them and we will be using them again. Thanks guys!

Just had them trim my mature Liquid Amber city parkway tree. Yes, I had a permit from the City of Los Angeles to spend my money trimming their tree:((
White’s are D49 certified arborists as required by the LA City Permit. The crew did a beautiful job! Excellent thinning and deadwood removal while maintaining the shape & health of the tree. Without doubt, I have the best looking city tree on the block now. I’m having them back in the fall to trim my beautiful mature flowering pear tree.

I don’t have my own Unilocal account, so I am using my wife’s account to write this review.
Excellent service! These people are punctual, and they get the job done quickly. I have no complaints only praise for the outstanding work they did in trimming our 8 trees.
I worked with a few tree care businesses prior to West Coast Tree Care, and I would say they are the best tree service that I have done business with in the LA area. I most definitely would call them back to trim our trees.

This is my first experience with this company after getting several bids. They were fast to get here, gave me a bid on the spot and when they sensed the urgency of this huge tree that was rotted, they came the very next day to take the tree down. It wasn’t an easy job and involved a large crane and a big crew. The huge California pepper tree that was more than 100 years old, but this crew did an excellent job. They were all very nice guys. We are saddened by the loss of this beautiful tree but we will all be safer in the next high winds. They communicated with us every step of the way and did a good job with clean up, leaving us the wood we needed for our fireplace.
If I had a small concern, it would be the service charge for using a credit card. It was small but a surprise when I asked about it. I haven’t had that happen before.
We have a heavily wooded property and I will certainly use this company again in the future.

Wow, what a life saver! My kitten is only 7 months old and is a curious kitten. When she decided to sneak out and climb 40ft into a tree we didn’t know what to do. We tried encouraging her to come down, shaking treats and trying to talk her into making her way out. It was clear pretty quickly that she didn’t know what to do. She was scared, it was cold and winds were clocking in at 30mph. She had been stuck for at least 24 hours and we were worried. The fire department no longer does rescues so we had to find some solution on our own. That is when I found White’s! I called at 8:30am in Sunday and to my surprise they answered. They quickly sprung into action and started calling their tree climbers. 30 minutes later, they called to let me know that Jeff would be on his way. When he arrived only 30 min later Jeff’s professionalism was impressive. He quickly got to work and started scaling the tree to save our baby. As she went higher, he went higher. Patient, caring, careful, fantastic! He managed to get a hold if our baby girl and brought her down safely to us. We were so thankful that they came out to help us. I cannot thank their team enough! I would highly recommend them, they certainly went the extra mile.

Mike and his guys went above and beyond my expectations (and I have high expectations) lol. Removing trees, stumps, shrubs and vines with lightning speed and cleanliness! I was very impressed and would recommend White’s to everyone. Great price too!!! Thanks Mike!

This is my first Unilocal review and I can’t think of a more fitting crew to receive 5 stars than White’s Tree Service. Mike is genuinely passionate about his profession and conveys that when you meet him. His took his time examining our needs and gave us a realistic bid. His crew was prompt and professional. They take great care to maintain and clean as they go. We are already looking at other trees in the yard and will call them back soon.

I hired Mike for the first time in the spring of 2013. We have several mature trees on our property and they had not been probed in 10 years. He and his crew did a fabulous job of trimming them up, (including a MASSIVELY impressive job 30 – 40 feet up on a pine tree) and making them all look healthy and happy. Not only that, the price was more than fair especially considering they only took a day and cleaned up and hauled everything away at the end of the day.
In addition, I purchased some new indian laurel fig trees and some podocampus hedges to be planted. After a few weeks, there were a few issued I noticed that were developing in how they had been placed and how they were growing. I contacted Mike with my concerns, and he was at my house that afternoon to inspect the issue. He sent one of his guys out the next day and corrected it to my satisfaction, and has been great about following up with me to make sure there were’t any more continuing issues.
I have recommended Mike to other friends and they are just as happy with his services.

I called Mike for a second job, because of the great work he did the first time. The first time his crew removed a 3 – 4 story tree wedged between 2 fences and patio. The tree was taken down, logs stacked for my fireplace, stump ground and mulched for my planter bed. I hated to take down the tree, but I recycled it with his help. The second/​current job was removing several diseased trees from a very step side hill. Very tough job, masterfully executed with no damage to other landscaping.
Mike returned my call right away and came out the next morning to give me an estimate. I use White’s Tree Service because of thier skill, but in addition, they are very reasonable with pricing and schedule. He scheduled and completed the job the next day!
His workers/​associates are polite and professional. I feel very comfortable having them on my property and recommend them to others. They are my company as long as they are in business!
Please support this ethically run business.

I called Mike because my friend Lisa was the first to review them and I had been looking for a tree trimmer. He returned my call right away and came out the next morning to give me an estimate. I also had estimates from 2 other companies. 1 company even matched his price, but I went with White Tree Trimming because I felt like I was in good hands and they knew what they were doing.
It took me at least 6 months to actually call him back and have him start the work. He still had my estimate on file (which is impressive) and his crew came out the next day.
They trimmed 2 HUGE trees I have that were actually touching the roof of the house and the back shed. He also trimmed my citrus tree, a huge bird of paradise and cut down and ground the stump on a tree that had fallen over with all of the winds. Oh and he moved a sprinkler and set up a drip system so my citrus tree can get more water
They did a fantastic job!!! He even fertilized my citrus tree! I love the way my trees look and now I can start my garden in the front yard.
His guys were so polite and professional. They were on time and left the place spotless. Mike comes out and works side by side with his crew and worked on the drip system himself and even called and made sure I was satisfied with the service, the quality and the clean up afterwards. He was a real sweetheart.
I have not 1 negative thing to say :)) I will be calling them ANYTIME I need any tree trimming and would refer them in a heartbeat.

Came across White’s listing here. I liked the idea of not just butchering my ten giant eucalyptus trees, and having them trimmed the right way.
My trees are big. They need to be cut back every few years to not be a threat to my neighbor’s house, and not to drop crud onto my driveway. Again, I like my trees, and just want them trimmed back and down. I liked the idea of having an experienced person do a careful job.
It took two attempts to get a response from Mr White, who completely ignored what I wanted to accomplish, and just kept parroting «I’m not going to top your trees.» I couldn’t get him to come give me a quote, possibly suggest other solutions. After several weeks of this, I’m looking elsewhere.
Makes me wonder why someone who supposedly cares about trees, and has a business carrying for trees, would turn down a ten tree job. Also, I couldn’t get him on the phone and give him my info. I had to use his website to request a quote, kinda douchy, and one of the questions you have to answer is what is more important: price, quality, or schedule. Makes me think that if you choose price, like I did (ten trees, after all), he doesn’t respond.
To sum up, terrible customer service, and that means once star.

I cannot recommend White’s Tree Service enough. I had several estimates and had done my homework before meeting Mike. My first instinct to hire him was when he clearly suggested preserving the natural look and integrity of the trees (no topping, over pruning, etc). He was not the least expensive bid, but man, did I make the right decision.
THE JOB:
1) Remove LARGE eucalyptus branch hanging over neighbors roof from my tree. Very involved rope/​pulley work
2) Trim/​prune several fruit, citrus, Junipers, olive, misc trees and clear deadwood.
3) Mulch and wood chip several areas and add tree nutrients.
4) Remove ivy growing up trunk of large tree
5) and some misc odds and ends
THE WORK:
1) The crew was amazing, courteous, and respectful of all my property. In addition, every one spoke perfect English, which was a big help for some of the esthetic questions that came up along the way.
2) The quality and integrity which they brought to their work was amazing. Mike even came back a couple times to finish up some final things he felt could be slightly improved and promptly repaired a light that had been damaged accidentally.
3) The cleanup was the greatest I have ever seen on ANY job. Not only did my place look cleaner than when they arrived, but they took special care to also clean any neighbor’s yards that had incurred fallen debris.
THE VERDICT:
Without hesitation I would recommend Mike to any friends/​family and will hire his crew again to do my next pruning job in 3 – 5 years. Also, one final note is that my horribly malnourished citrus trees are already greening up considerably and bearing new fruit. They are very happy with my decision as well. This is only 1.5 months since they did the work.
