I never write reviews but when asked by the owner of this company I could not say no. I was doing a remodeling project to a house I bought in the west hills. We need to have some trees removed in order to accommodate an addition. I got 2 bids. The other tree service was enthusiastic to get started and offered me a great deal to get started right away, but then I talked to Jeff at Urban Forest Pro and he let me know that I needed a permit, that I could not take out as many tree as I had wanted without added costs (red tape and such). I paid extra for Jeff's expertise but boy was I glad I did when the city forester stopped by the job site to see what we were doing and all of our bases were covered. I could have gotten thousands of dollars in fines going with that other company. Jeff let me know that he received a letter from the city stating they are cracking down on these fly by night tree services and that home owners will be fined. My advice is cover your bases and hire a professional.
