Susan HyderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted Tip Top Arborists to help us with our dying mimosa tree. Jason came out and was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He diagnosed our tree and told us what they could do to help us save it. The work was done in a timely manner, and we were pleased with the results. Unfortunately, our tree died some time later (no fault on their part.). Tip Top came out and removed it for us at an extremely reasonable price. Everyone in the company from the owner Jim, the arborist Jason, the secretary, and all the workers were very professional, caring, and truly wanted the best for us. I would recommend them to anyone anytime! Johnny DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tip Top Arborists are hands down simply the best. Forget about all the rest. As a real estate professional serving SoCal since 1999, both myself, my neighbors, and clients alike have tried them all. I rarely make recommendations and very careful when I do unless 100% confident in repeat outstanding service over several years, but Tip Top is one company I can recommend without hesitation with a review long overdue. 1. Tip Top are highly trained licensed Arborists, not just tree trimmers. That's like comparing a Culinary Master 5 Star Chef to a burger flipper. Seriously. 2. They have top of the line newer equipment, safety gear, and multiple trucks/ crews able to handle any size job big or small ( They even sterilize their tools so as not to contaminate your trees from previous jobs, similar to a surgeon when performing surgery. Makes total sense, yet Tip Top are the only ones I have ever seen do that ) 3. Tip Top consistently shows up on time, crews work safely and efficiently, are super nice. They do a fantastic job, clean up afterwards and leave your grounds spotlessly clean. ( In most cases cleaner than when they got there! ) 4. There's a reason both City of Lancaster and Palmdale choose Tip Top Arborists as their official tree service in their communities. 5. Very importantly, Tip Top is fully insured and carry workman's comp insurance to fully protect you. Why is this important? Here's just one out of many like this I have personally witnessed... a neighbor whom hired a different company simply because they quoted a lower price. The other co. got injured on my neighbors property while doing the job and then sued my neighbor for liable because the other tree co. didn't have the proper insurance coverage! What? Yes sad but true story. The other co. told my neighbor they had insurance, when they really didn't because they let it lapse due to high premiums. Yikes! Explains how they were able to beat Tip Tops quote. ( Seems like while saving overhead, the other co. didn't care much about my suffering neighbors head. My neighbors stress was through the roof ) Bottom line, if you want peace of mind, no stress, and complete confidence the job will be done right the first time, just call Tip Top. Thanks Tip Top for all the years of exemplary service you've provided both myself, neighbors, and clients. Lily SofiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Connie BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tom Ball worked with Fish and Game to secure a permit to remove a hazardous joshua tree. Once the permit came through, the crew was very professional in protecting my property and each other. Michael HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing knowledgeable and professional service. I had several tall trees trimmed and a few removed completely. Awesome job. I will be contracting with them for continued maintenance. Bonawynn CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tip Top Arborists are absolutely the best! Part of the reason is simple. Tip Top experts are actual ARBORISTS which means they understand each tree and what requirements exist for keeping them healthy. They know what needs to be done to prevent roots from doing damage underground and what specific pruning, treatment, topping off, and. maintenance is necessary. They are very honest and dependable and their teams leave everything looking beautiful and properly cleaned up before closing out the job. I've seen others use other businesses to have their trees trimmed but the result isn't even close to what Tip Top does. I highly recommend this business. They've taken care of our trees for 20+ years. Charles ColemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with Tip Top Arborists. Their crew was prompt, professional and very courteous. They took great care to prevent damage to the sprinkler system and piping. Very good cleanup. Eva CoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic job thank you so much for all your work

Acton Tree Trimming FAQs
When is the best time to trim trees in Acton?
For most deciduous trees, late winter or early spring (before new growth starts) is the ideal time for trimming. However, deadwooding and hazard pruning should be done immediately, regardless of the season, to ensure safety.
Do I need a permit to trim my trees in Acton?
Routine trimming and pruning generally do not require a permit. However, if you are planning to remove or significantly alter a protected species like an Oak tree, Los Angeles County regulations may apply. Our arborists can help you navigate these requirements.
How often should my trees be trimmed?
It depends on the species, age, and location of the tree. Fast-growing trees may need trimming every 1-2 years, while mature, slow-growing species might only need attention every 3-5 years. We can provide a customized maintenance schedule during your consultation.
Can you trim trees near power lines?
Yes. Our crews are trained and equipped to safely prune trees that are encroaching on utility lines. If a branch is directly touching a high-voltage line, we may coordinate with the local utility company to ensure the work is completed safely.
Will tree trimming kill my tree?
When done correctly by an ISA-certified arborist, trimming improves tree health. However, “topping” or over-pruning can severely damage or kill a tree. We strictly follow ANSI A300 pruning standards to ensure your trees remain healthy and structurally sound.
