One Tripp Tree Service

Thank you Dave of One Tripp for your professional advice and quick follow up on bidding a tree removal. My neighbor who lives on a canyon and had a monumental job to be done was very happy with One Tripp. Dave was kind enough to come over and give me advice on the removal of our melaleuca tree as well as advising on fertilization of our two palm trees needing care. No pressure and fair pricing.

One Tripp was recommended to me by my neighbor. When I received the estimate I thought it was high. I had received 2 other estimates — one being much less than One Tripp. When I questioned the reason for the high cost for trimming my 2 trees I was told it was at least a half day job. Because of my neighbor’s recommendation, I hired One Tripp to do the work.
The crew was very professional and courteous. It took approximately 2 hours for them to do the work. I didn’t think my trees looked much different after the trimming. I inquired about this and was told that cutting too much off of these types of trees would not be healthy for the trees.
As the crew was ready to pull away, one of their trucks wouldn’t start. They had to call the office and have someone bring a part out. The estimator brought the part, so when he arrived I took the opportunity to ask him about the high cost of the job.
I told the estimator the job was done much quicker than the half day he estimated. He said the travel time is included in the cost and he did not change the fee.
That day I called the office and explained the situation and asked if I could speak with a manager or the owner to discuss possibly lowering the high fee that I was charged. I was told the message would be passed on. No one ever called me back. I called a few more times and on one of the calls I was told the owner is on vacation and will call me when he returns. I never received a call back.
I called one last time today and found out the estimator is the owner. I will pay my bill and be done.

Dave came out again this year on request for a consultation as to which trees to trim or reduce and when. No charge, great advice. Same estimate as last time. I’ll wait until winter to make an appointment with them to get the work done. It is very clear he is an expert on trees, which is important to us because we want to understand options and consequences.

Watch out for them on the road! Almost ran into me twice. The driver looked like he was on the phone.

We have a business and One Tripp was very considerate of that, they came in early in the morning, they were quick about it and did the job beautifully. We have eight palms, we trimmed them to 40 degrees, their price was the best I had received when shopping around for quotes. We will be calling them again for sure.

Wonderful recent experience with One Tripp Tree Service. Got three bids for my job and Steve Hooker impressed me the most. He was knowledgeable and the price was fair. The crew was professional and friendly and I can’t say enough about the great job they did. They were careful not to damage other plants in and around the yard and their clean up was excellent. And this was not an easy job… big trees up on a hill in the back yard. When one of the landscape lights they had to pull out so it wouldn’t be damaged during the haul out of the debris was finickky about lighting up again, they came back twice to figure out and repair the problem, without my having to bug them. They just do things right. I will call them again when I have a future requirement, that’s for sure.

Terrific service & value. We had 3 trees trimmed with 2 of them being on neighbors property. They helped get the needed paperwork to go on neighbors property and did a great job cleaning up afterward. One of the trees was huge and with their arborists advice the tree was was cut back as much as possible without killing it. Thankfully our neighbors were all cooperative. We put off this tree trimming for 5 years and so very glad it is finally DONE.

Very good experience with One Tripp Tree Service. Hired them to remove a tree that was starting to push up against the house and neighboring house and One Tripp was very responsive and professional throughout. About same cost as the other two tree removal service companies in North County but One Tripp was much more responsive. I will use One Tripp again and refer others. Thank you!

I am literally thrilled with the service I received from One Tripp Tree Service! My husband and I obtained three estimates for the removal of our 30 year old ficus benjamina plus it’s stump and visible roots, which were destroying our fence and tiny yard.
One Tripp gave us the lowest price of the three estimates (the highest bid was double that of One Tripp’s price) and they had the soonest available appointment to do the work. As part of their bid they gave us the option to either keep the stump grindings or to have them removed. We chose the option of retaining possession of the ground chips, because we wanted to use them as mulch, and it has worked out beautifully! We usually buy bags of mulch, so why not just hold on to the free mulch?
The tree removal went amazingly quickly. The crew showed up on time and felled and chipped our enormous tree in about 40 minutes! Later, another person showed up and did the stump grinding. That took a bit longer because it’s more painstaking, careful work. The worker who did the stump grinding did destroy one sprinkler pipe and one sprinkler head, but I don’t hold it against him because the roots were extensively overgrown — that is why we had to have the tree removed in the first place.
Now I just smile when I look at my cleared yard and I look forward to planting a new garden with smaller plants that have less destructive and invasive roots.

We just moved into an older home with big beautiful trees. The sad thing is the trees were overgrown and not maintained. Thus, the roots were pulling up the sidewalk and driveway. Plus, one tree was leaning on the house roof.
One star for getting started on the dot! They were at our house 8 am with professional equipment already set up and ready to go. After assessing where they were going to cut, they started. Next thing you know. .. 1,2,3,4 trees down and ground down to the stump.
One star for checking in with us and keeping us posted with the progress. The crew seemed knowledgable and not some fly-​by-​nite, hire-​on-​the-​corner job. They even gave us advice on other trees.
One star for getting the job done lickety split. Other companies said they could do the job over a couple days. This took one day.
Negative one star for cutting the sprinkler system line and damaging the telephone utility box. One less for leaving a ton of grindings for us to haul ourselves.
We’re ready for winter! Anyone want some tree grindings?
