5.0 on Google.5.0 on Yelp.Here's why.
Front + back yard trimming★★★★★"I just had my trees done in my front and back yard, what a great team! Contacted them on Saturday, job done on Monday, fast, hard working and job done in less than 4 hours. Plus they left me the mulch for my garden. Definitely worth the 5 stars."
Palm removal + stump grinding★★★★★"UFO Tree Trimming cut down three, very tall palm trees two days ago — and ground out two of the stumps. I called them on Tuesday and the trees were removed on Friday morning. I was very impressed with their professionalism, promptness, eagerness to please, teamwork, and skill. They cleaned everything up beautifully and even replanted three ferns that were in the way. They offered us a very reasonable price. Thank you UFO!!"
Two-tree removal★★★★★"UFO Tree Trimming was very professional and they gave me an excellent price to permanently remove two very trees. I highly recommend this company and will be recommending them to everyone I know!"
5.0 ★Read all 50 reviews on Google →5.0 on Yelp (23 reviews) · 4.9 on ThreeBestRated — Palmdale top 3Same-day hazard removal★★★★★"I called today due to our front tree cracking. We were worried with the high winds it would fall on our home. They came out same day and performed the service before I returned with my food order! They also were lower in price. I appreciate them and the great service!"
Pruning + multi-tree removal★★★★★"Rogelio and his crew were professional, worked quickly, and cleaned up all the debris efficiently. We are very happy with their work and would highly recommend this company's services."
Four trees — San Fernando Valley★★★★★"We received fast, professional, and economical service in the San Fernando Valley from this tree trimming service. From requesting a quote through Yelp to when they left our driveway, everything went smoothly. Anthony, Alex, and Rogelio work great as a team. My dad helped me choose them; he liked that the father and son worked together and admired their work ethic and good nature. Rogelio quickly scheduled an in-person consultation, and within less than a week, four trees, including trunks and big roots, were removed. Their service is a great value… Thank you UFO Tree Trimming. 10 out of 10 highly recommend."
Seven-tree trim★★★★★"UFO trimmed 7 trees today. They were fantastic. Professional and eager to work to my satisfaction. They had the tools and knowledge for perfect results. I will not hesitate to call on them again."
Removal + replanting★★★★★"UFO Tree Trimming did outstanding work exactly as designed. They were very accommodating in retrieving a tree and planting for a nominal fee that was not in the bid. I would not hesitate in using their services in the future."
Campsite tree safety★★★★★"I recently hired UFO Tree Trimming for our campsite, and I'm very happy with their work. The team was professional, efficient, and friendly. They did an excellent job securing our tents, giving recommendations for dead trees and left everything tidy. Highly recommended!"
Scheduled trim work★★★★★"Excellent communication from start to finish. Worked with our schedule, quoted a fair price for what we needed done. Definitely will use their services again."

Brush gets chipped on-site for easy, eco-friendly disposal and hauled away. Want the chips as free mulch, or logs cut for firewood? Just say so — customers love that part.
In most residential situations here, no — but native oaks, street and parkway trees, HOA-governed lots, and protected species are the exceptions. Joshua trees are protected statewide and always require a permit. We evaluate before anyone cuts, free.
