Testimonials and Reviews

"WOOOOW!!!! Paul The Tree Barber and his Crew did such an "OUTSTANDING" job on our trees that we are "EXTREEEEMELY ELATED"!!! Paul is very professional, easy to talk to and full of information. Out of all the arborist we spoke with, he was the ONLY one who correctly identified what kind of trees we have (Kaffir Plum Trees). We highly recommend him for any job large or small. We will most definitely hire him again!! KUDOS to You Paul!!! : ) And Thank You Sooo Much!!"

"FANTASTIC job all the way around! P.S. Do you really think this is enough to write "start to finish!" Worth the price!"

--Cathy O, Vista

"Paul Rider and The Tree Barber team have been taking care of our trees for over 10 years...and that speaks volumes! They have given new live to a struggling coral tree, prevented ficus from over-running the property and planted a myriad of splendid trees in our landscape, along with the coaching to care for them. I wouldn't trust our trees to anyone else and they know there is a standing appointment in Escondido with us every year, along with additional consulting. Quite simply, they are the best!"

--Cathy M, Escondido

"Paul is an arborist not just a tree cutter. He was very knowledgeable regarding the proper way to trim my trees to maximize the safety and preserve the beauty of the trees for future growth. The crew was there promptly when he said they would be and completed the job earlier than expected. Everything was cleaned up completely and I was very happy with the look of the trees and the job in general."

--Veronica C, Escondido

“I would not hesitate to use Tree Barber again and recommend this company to friends. First of all, they promptly returned my call and came out for the estimate right away. On the day of the service, the workers were on time, neat, professional, and the results were excellent! I got a chance to meet with the owner, Paul Rider; he was knowledgeable and trustworthy. I feel like I chose a quality company to work with.”

--Robin W, Rancho Bernardo

"For the last 15 years, my husband and I have relied on Tree Barber to care for our assortment of junipers, pines and ornamental trees. Paul Rider is an excellent source of advice and information. He and his team keep the health and wellness of each tree in mind with every decision. We recommend the Tree Barber for the quality and timeliness of their service. Your trees will thank you.”

--The Lilleys, Escondido

“This isn't a couple of guys with a chain saw, a pole saw and a panel truck - this is the real deal. Big, noisy equipment. Chippers, stump grinders, chain saws, guys that can climb a huge palm tree in seconds, and real, honest-to-goodness arborists! Tree Barber is worth every penny.”

--Linda K, Escondido

“I was very pleased with the service, from the moment I contacted their office to get an estimate to the completion of the job. Had 4 trees trimmed and some root stumps taken out. After the job the clean up was excellent, that is a big deal for us since we have no way of hauling anything away. I will have them again next year.”

--Marta K, Escondido

“After several bad experiences we decided it was time to pay a little more and work with a truly professional company. We've used Tree Barber twice over the past 18 months. Both times I met with Paul beforehand to discuss the work to be done, get the estimate and schedule the trimming. Both times his guys were punctual, friendly, professional, and extremely careful with our landscape lighting, irrigation heads, and plantings in the yard. We have three large and valuable date palms in our front yard - the crew trimmed and then sculpted "pineapples" into them for an amazing look.”

--Don K, Carlsbad

"The crew arrived early! Yea! They had lunch in the shade of the 40 foot pine that needed trimming and shaping then went to work. The owner (Paul) arrived to check on work progress and confer with the crew. It took 5 men 2.5 hours to complete the work. The pine tree being the biggest challenge and in need of work. They did an outstanding job on all of the trees and they look beautiful. They cleaned up after the trees were trimmed, not leaving anything behind. Except for the fact that the trees look beautiful again you would not know they were there. The owner is knowledgeable and available to the work crew and to the home owner for input at all times!"
