Gruett Tree Co

I had them come out to trim my trees, they look beautiful!!! Everything was clean when they left and the guys were super nice!!! I highly recommend using them!!!

We had a huge Pine tree removed from our front yard and the crew did an awesome job. It took 5 guys and 2 truckloads to complete the job. They were very professional and used many safety precautions. This tree was very close to the front of our house but these guys protected our windows and the job was completed without any damage to the house or our yard. Would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Chris Mello is an ISA Certified Arborist. The first time I ever spoke to him and merely described a tree in my front yard that needed his attention, he knew right away what type of tree I had. A true professional, this guy knows his trees. I told him I didn’t want my big beautiful tree to look like a cropped piece of broccoli when they were finished trimming it. We’ve all seen it when people who don’t know what they’re doing butcher trees. Chris understood and even explained how damaging this can be to a tree and how it weakens the structural intergirty of the tree. If you want your job done by a kind, knowledgeable, professional tree expert, call Chris. You’ll be wowed.

I have a Commercial Building in Orange. My tenants let me know that there were some Trees that had died and needed to be removed! I called Gruett Tree Co. They went by the building and gave me an estimate. They gave me a Great price! they got the job done right away! The Team was very professional! and they cleaned up like nothing had ever happened!
Happy to deal with a company that does what they say they will do!
Job well done!
Thanks Gruett Tree Co.

Do good work, but pricing can be way out of line

Gruett has trimmed my two California Pepper trees yearly for about three to four of the last five years. I was always happy with there professional work and their pricing was also competetive.
This year I wanted one of the pepper trees trimmed and the other removed, as well as some other small bushes trimmed.
I almost fell over when I got the estimate. They were charging more to trim the one remaining tree than they had always charged me to trim and lace both trees. The tree and stump removal as well as the small bush trimming estimates were way out of whack. At least 50% more than what I felt it should be.
Bottom line, I ended up going with another tree service from the area who is also liscensed, bonded and insured and it ended up costing me LESS THAN HALF of what Gruett quoted me! The other company did a very professional job and there was no downside.
In my opinion the guy who comes out should be estimating the job, not someone looking at a few pictures back at the office. That is why I think the estimate was way off base. The field person apparently can not estimate the job. (unlike their competitor) The estimate must be e-​mailed or phoned to you later. Huh?
The person at the office didn’t realize the job was fairly simple and should have been priced more fairly. I thought, I could call and haggle with them, but why should I have to?
I gave them 3 stars because prior to this, I was fairly happy with them. Now it seems they have scared me away with their new prices.

Waste of $ 250.00. I was accused by our hoa of damaging common area trees by zealously pruning overhanging branches.
At my request, for a fee of $ 250.00, three gruett employees came to assess the trees.
The gruett employees viewed the over pruned trees and acted like I committed a crime. One employee referred to a tree as «she». However, they could take tree and soil samples to prove in court the trees were not damaged. They even had a tree attorney they could recommend.
The information Gruett gave me was nothing I haden’t already read on the Internet .
The tree company that made the original accusation has made a new assessment of no damage.
In fact the trees are healthy and never looked more beautiful!
Gruett tried to take advantage using scare tactics to drum up business.

Very professional. Showed up on time. Cut my giant palm tree in the backyard. Cleaned up and left. I would highly recommend them

Gruett is Great. Have been contracting with them for 5+ years and they always please me. Knowledable crew, great work, and they leave the place all cleaned up! I gladly recommend them.

Very professional service. They drove by and photographed the tree we wanted trimmed then emailed a quote with photo of tree to confirm it was correct tree. They did a very beautiful job on a large specimen olive tree that is an important centerpiece of our front yard. Reasonably priced for high quality work. Highly recommend.
