In addition to several trees needing pruning, I knew it was time to get some expert advice on our massive ornamental pear and two of our 45 year old citrus trees which were looking rather stressed. So, blindly choosing one of the two references you have on your site, I contacted Jeff Harvey (Arbor Expertise). After checking that his license and insurance were in good standing and that there were no complaints at the Better Business Bureau, a date was set. He and his crew arrived on time. As soon as he assessed the first problem, he set his crew working. I have to admit, I was impressed with all they accomplished in the allotted time. Not only in the pruning and cleanup, but the additional extras as Jeff answered all my questions and gave me hints on watering and fertilizing. I felt his company's service deserved a 5-star rating (with 5 indicating the best). Sincerely M. Bates P.S. [Jeff's business phone is (714) 318-1209]

I have used Jeff Harvey of Arbor Expertise for over 15 years. He is a certified arborist and grew up here in Orange County. He services all the County areas. Jeff does all the pruning and cutting himself to make sure things are done correctly. Jeff is also a landscape designer and understands the relationships of trees to the rest of the property and plantings. He is an excellent resource for recommending types of trees to fit the situation. The neighbors also use him and when we get together, we get a break in costs.
