Ac Horticultural Management

To say that these guys are professional is an understatement! They are true masters of their trade!!! When Rene stopped by the first time - he didn't say much, just gave me the price and left. I knew right there that I was dealing with a person, who knew exactly what he was doing. Surely enough, on May 3 - they arrived as scheduled at 7 AM sharp, tried to be quiet, not to wake the neighborhood needlessly, while setting everything up. They masterfully removed a large pine tree on my backhill. And the final "blow" was literally when they used the blower to clean up my street, way outside of their immediate place of operation. WOW! I'm not bribed or otherwise coerced into writing this review and I sincerely wish AC Horticultural Management, Inc. with it's WONDERFUL employees and Mr. Rene Castillo to continue the legacy of Rene's father, who started the company and to deliver this incredible value and goodness to the community for many more generations of the honorable Castillo Family!!!

Rene and his crew are masters at both tree removal (when necessary) , pruning and landscaping yards to bring out the full potential of plants and trees. My front and back yards needed substantial work. Rene had been recommended from a friend who needed an incredibly old and large tree removed (and roots) because of the damage to a building structure. It was amazing to see how this mammoth job was done! Totally professional! When I needed work done on my own home, I knew he was someone you could trust. He's fast to meet with you, oversees what needs to be done (while wanting to maintain trees as much as possible) and his price is really reasonable. To some it may seem unbelievable, but my plants and trees seem a lot happier and healthier now that they are pruned and ready to grow back. It was a joy to work with Rene. I highly recommended his company, as others recommended to me.

I have used AC Horticulture three times over the past 10 years and this last service was even better than the first two! The crew was very conscientious about getting my garden furniture and decor out of the way of falling branches and debris and then restoring it once they were done. Each crew member was unfailingly polite and respectful. They did a great job on 5 trees, a bunch of overgrown shrubberies, removing an unwanted volunteer or two and de-fronding a 12 year old palm tree that had never been trimmed and was a brushfire torch waiting to happen. They cleaned up thoroughly - even skimmed my pool of stray leaves and twigs! Everything looks so good now!! Rene and his guys are the best!

Amazing team of hard working guys! Rene was fantastic and very knowledgeable. They removed two trees, trimmed some huge trees, trimmed a tangerine tree and a few smaller trees. They also planted two new trees. I couldn't be happier with their work. They were respectful of my other plants and trees, cleaned up so well it was hard to tell they had been there! I love the trees Rene suggested I plant. I would 100% recommend them if you need trees trimmed, removed, or planted. Thanks guys for a job well done!

If you don't care about damage to your property, hire them. If you do, you're better off looking somewhere else. We hired Rene and his team to treat our oak from a beetle infestation and trim the oak and a small olive tree. When they arrived we asked them to take care of our brand new gate when they take the branches out. We even offered to cover it, but they declined reassuring us that they're professional and they'll take care of it.

After they left, we checked the gate and lo and behold there were tons of scratches all over it. Although we have video (!) from the security camera clearly showing his crew dragging the branches over the gate and even slamming them into the gate, Rene refused to admit that his crew did the damage on the pretense that his crew denied it because the branches were wrapped with a tarp. Yes, the branches were indeed wrapped with a tarp, but the ends were still sticking out of the tarp and dragging over our brand new gate.

When confronted again with all our video evidence and a close up picture that clearly shows FRESH scratches, he claimed the crew said the scratches were already there. After which he completely refused to respond to any of our follow-up calls or emails. We have no complains about the actual tree service performed, but I am appalled that a company refuses to accept liability for damage they cause to personal property, despite asking for more than $1000 to treat and trim 2 trees. I won't post the video, but here's a picture of how our brand new gate looked after they left.

We scheduled a free estimate online with Renee and he never showed up we emailed him and he never responded. When I called the company they said he was out and wanted to charge me for the free estimate for him to come and see our tree and advise us on what to do. The response is not the truth how could we request a service if we had no idea of what needed to be done.

Be very careful I would strongly avoid read other reviews. We did find a couple of other very professional and honest companies who came and were willing to give us their opinion as to what needed to be done and costs for those services.

150% impressed with the work done! This is the second year that I contacted Renee for Palm trimming in my backyard. His team arrived exactly at our scheduled time and diligently and professionally completed the entire project in under one hour. I have 4 queen mature queen palms and 5 pigmy palms. Each were expertly trimmed with old heavy fruit stalks removed!

All was cut down, hauled to my front yard, everything chipped at the street, and my yard completely cleaned up. The entire crew was communicative, kind and worked as a fluid motion. I highly recommend contacting Renee at AC Horticulture for any of your tree trimming needs!

Incredible job. My wife did the hard part of setting up price quotes. She let me know that from the 5 quotes, AC Horticultural was one of the two fairly priced in her opinion. The price difference between AC Horticultural and the other company was fairly close so we went with AC Horticultural because my wife said Rene the person who quoted her was more professional and knowledgeable.

They did not disappoint. On time, efficient, and extremely detailed cleanup after the work was done. This is why my wife typically handles appointments like this, she has a good sense for reading people and getting a feel for them. A+ for AC Horticultural and my wife of course.

I'm very happy with how my pine tree looks after being trimmed. The crew was polite and very thorough. I almost made the mistake of hiring an unlicensed and uninsured company, so I am glad I chose AC Horticultural as they are licensed and insured. I recommend them highly!

Saw them working down the street from where I live and gave their office a call. They answered right away and let me know that if it was convenient for me that they would be able to have someone stop by within the hour and get the work done that same day. One of their members stopped by within 10 minutes, gave me a great price since they were already down the street.

I agreed to have the work done and they were able to do it that same day. Great experience. Was able to get a price, and work done all in the same day. Trees look great. I will be calling them back for next time, maybe arrange with my neighbor down the street to have it done same day again.

Rene and his team arrived on time and did great work. We have used other services in the past, but AC Horticultural knows what they are doing. The trees look great and they told us which trees to do now and the ones to wait until fall for. The job was complete and the clean-up was even better.

Absolutely loved this company. I had never hired anyone to do our trees and yard and was dreading having to find someone. Luckily my friend had used AC in the past and highly recommended them. I got 5 bids for the work and AC was the 2nd lowest (just off 200 on a 4k job from the lowest bid). They were willing to match the price so it was a no brainer to go with them.

I was going to go with them regardless since they came so highly recommended but it made it that much better that they worked with me on the price. The trees and yard looks incredible, and inviting. I will definitely be using them in the future.

Contacted AC Horticultural for an estimate on removing a large pine tree. Rene stopped by and gave us a competitive price. Rene and his crews showed up two days later and did a fantastic job. The crew was efficient and made sure to work carefully without damaging the rest of the landscape. I would highly recommend this company for any tree removal you may need.

Rene and his brother Steve are unbelievable in their business, A.C. Horticultural I have been with them for at least 10 years. From day one, I knew Rene and his team were the best in their field of gardening, and design. My yard is so BEAUTIFUL, and thanks to A.C. Horticultural, I am very grateful. You won't be disappointed in their business and creativity of color and design.
