We had a big land clearing job. We called and got estimates from at least 5 contractors. JP Tree Trimming and Jesse were the most professional. More importantly Jesse was the most trustworthy. Being burnt before, trust is extremely important when hiring contractors. I trusted JP Tree Trimming from the beginning. Their contract was detailed and straightforward. When the weather failed to cooperate and the job went three times longer than expected, did I get a call asking for more money or complaints about the work? No, the job was done per contract and professionally. We highly recommend

I love JPs Tree Trimming. Jesse, the owner, is so knowledgeable about tree's health and trimming and/or removing them as well. He has all the right equipment to do big jobs such as ours and he's insured as well. He and his crew showed up on time and quickly removed two huge trees that were ready to topple. They ground out the stumps, cleaned up and even left me some premium mulch for my garden. What more can I say other than Jesse & crew "You're Tree-rific!"

The job was for coconut tree trimming and removal. Jesse Palumbo (owner of the company) immediately answered my phone call on first inquiry, then continued to demonstrate good communication throughout process. He got us on the schedule within less than a week. We met at the property before the actual day of work, to make sure we were on the same page, etc. He let me know as soon as work was done, and the crew did a great job. He is a certified arborist and is tree risk assessment qualified TRAQ, from the International Society of Arboculture. Super easy to work with, very reasonably priced, and

Jesse and his crew did a fantastic job trimming a huge Albezia tree in our backyard this past week. He communicates well not only with his clients but also his crew. You can tell that they have a lot of respect for him. He oversaw our job because of safety issues and watching them all work together as a team was impressive. This was the second job that we have worked on with Jesse and his crew and we will not hesitate to contact them again when tree trimming services are needed.
Update: Decided to trim more off of our huge Albezia tree. Jesse and his crew arrived this morning, as usual, on

We hired Jesse and his workers for removal and trimming of several tree's on our Anahola property. Jesse and his staff were very professional. They showed up on time and worked diligently each day. They were very effective in changing the environment at our property. It was pleasure to work with Jp's Trimming. We recommend them highly. Very high skill set and capacity to accomplish the task, small or large.
