Trees For Needs

We had some serious tree trimming that need to be addressed in our front and backyard, including a couple tall Mexican Palms. Chris and his team were professional, prompt, and did an excellent job in caring for the trees. We will use Trees for Needs again and highly recommend their service to others.

We hired Trees for Need to do our Community trees. Wow what a difference! They look like art work! Carl is so honest, informative, and his staff is great as well.
And now… am hiring them to do my single family property! Can’t wait!

They came highly recommended to me by the city of Peoria’s arborist (yes, that’s a job, and he’s amazing too, Erik Wilson). Carl came out and did a consultation, gave me a quote. I love the 2 trees in my front yard (Chilean mesquite and Desert Museum Palo Verde) I was worried about the job getting done correctly, since learning more about trees and seeing so many butchered trees. Carl came out with the crew, mainly to reassure me since they knew exactly what they were doing. Also the office staff is great.

Carl and his team have met our horticultural needs admirably over the past three years. Everything from removing our very tall Palm tree after it died to trimming our bougainvillea regularly has been handled promptly. Clean up has been excellent every time. I highly recommend Trees for Needs.

We have used Trees for Needs for years and could not be happier. The knowledge and care that Carl puts into his work is amazing. Carl is a Botanist, not a landscaper, and can address problems you can’t begin to imagine. Every single encounter has been professional and on target. His crew has saved our trees time and time again by proper trimming, correct watering amounts and speed and certain specialized fertilizers. You get what you pay for, and we were tired of having to replace trees. His prices are very competitive. If you are clear about your concerns during evaluation by Carl, he then sends his crew on the appointed day and they do a wonderful, top notch job. Too bad you don’t have more stars!

I’ve been waiting a few weeks before posting a review because I wanted to be as fair as possible. On the good side, this company was prompt to return my calls & were sort of on time to appear (they came at the very tail end of their time window.)
On the bad side, they sent someone who didn’t speak very much English & he couldn’t understand what I wanted to have done on the trees. I was really hoping for a real arborist who could help me understand the different options, but I ended up just pointing and hoping for the best. When I came back after running some quick errands, I found most of my tree on the ground & somehow it still looked as scraggly as it started! I called the owner to complain and he said a) that I didn’t know what I was talking about, b) that I was looking for a free trim job, and c) that he could come by to look at it and to tell me that he thought it looked good (his opinion from the few cell phone photos that the trimming guy sent to him.)
They’ve been calling every few days to see when they could come and tell me that the tree looks fine, but honestly, I don’t think that will help me feel better at all. I don’t really want to talk to them again after being so insulted when I was really upset over the bad trim my tree had gotten from them…
Maybe if you speak Spanish and already know everything you need to know about trees, this would be an okay company to try, but I think that the owner should really consider whether or not he should personally meet new clients to better understand their needs and also really, really consider what he says to them.

The absolute best tree trimming and customer service! Kim is awesome and helped me get my trees serviced quickly. And my newly trimmed palm is beautiful! Very highly recommend them!

Have had these guys out to trim my trees twice now. I couldn’t ask for better service. The arborists are timely and do a great job with the trees. They even entertained my 3 year old, who really thought they had a cool job because they got to climb trees! The work they did on the trees is fantastic and lasts much longer than a trimming you might get from a general landscaper. They thin the trees out nicely leaving just enough branches intact so that it grows back looking natural. Even my giant Mesquite went two years without the need for a major trim! Would highly recommend!
