EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Killian is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I recommend this company highlyPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Killian stopped by to look at a tree on our property that I'd been worried about, and his consultation was outstanding. His grasp of local regulations and the different methods for assessing tree health was far deeper than that of other arborists I've worked with. Because he doesn't run a tree-removal business, his guidance felt refreshingly objective and free of upselling. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian went out of his way to help us and we are incredibly grateful!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a consult for damage done by a trespassing tree company. Killian was very efficient and had a thorough mastery of this field, identifying every detail of concern. The extensive appraisal report he compiled was excellent and top of the line, complete with analysis and photos. It gives us an irrefutable basis for action against the negligent party. Couldn’t ask for better. All the other outstanding reviews are well deserved!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Killian was very professional and took the time to do a very thorough assessment of my property. I have a unique situation regarding a city maintained-tree with an aggressive root system that is causing different types of damage. I needed an expert analysis so that I can be sure to explain the issue properly without having to make any assumptions or guesses, as I am not a tree expert with any training. I also want to be able pull the permits to mitigate the property damage while still preserving the health of the city tree, if possible. I received a well-written and researched report that was well worth the money I paid, considering the complexity. There is no doubt in my mind whether I will have any difficulty getting the information across through the proper channels. The report spells out everything clearly in expert vernacular so that I can be confident that any misunderstanding of the issue is very unlikely. Killian was able to determine that the problem roots were far enough from the tree so that cutting them at the site of the damage was unlikely to be a problem, and further found that there was a significant amount of rotten material in a root flare at the base of the city tree, which was something that I was not even aware of. This could be a concern in the future and requires careful observation, according to the report. Several other identical city trees on my street have already fallen over in inclement weather and caused significant damage to my neighbors' properties. If you need an ISA certified consulting arborist to do an expert tree report on your property, I would highly recommend this service from Killian and California Ecology Arborists.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. knowledgeable, reliable, and punctual. great service.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First, when I contacted the company on their website with inspection services I needed for my very large oak tree, Killian Vendler responded promptly with a written detail breakdown of estimate for the options. Afterwards, we spoke on the phone and he was able to come out the same day. Wow!!! During our site meeting, Killian explained all the recommended work very clearly and explaining in detail the reason for his recommendations. He showed me the major recommended tree work on the photos he took during his walk through. Killian was a true professional and I highly recommend him.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Killian Vendler and California Ecology Arborists did an incredible appraisal for us. We lost most everything in the Eaton Altadena fire including well over a hundred fruit trees and dozens of landscape trees. The few plants and trees that weren’t lost were very damaged. His appraisal report of our loss included many pages of photos, maps, charts, and diagrams. He meticulously calculated everything, using his skill as an appraiser arborist to measure and project everything from the existing stumps and damaged vegetation -- all the replacement and damage costs. He even calculated the cost of proper irrigation system replacement (that was all lost too!) Thanks Killian and crew -- please keep up the good work!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A neighbor alerted me as several mushrooms had appeared in his yard also under the tree. It came on suddenly and apparently can be a sign of a potentially serious issue within the trunk of the tree. I reached out to Killian and within minutes he was able to discern from the pictures I sent him the type of mushrooms and that they were normal and of no concern. I really appreciated Killian's quick attention and response. Happy to recommend him!Posted onVerified Killian was very professional and took the time to do a very thorough assessment of my property.

I shared my concerns about our shrubs, and the team quickly connected me with Killian, who reached out shortly after to request photos of our trees. Killian provided excellent service--he offered clear, knowledgeable recommendations on the right fertilizer to keep our trees healthy and even stayed available via text while I was shopping to make sure I got the right product. Overall, it was a great experience at a fair price. We'll definitely be reaching out to them again for any future tree or shrub care needs.Posted onVerified First, when I contacted the company on their website with inspection services I needed for my very large oak tree, Killian Vendler responded promptly with a written detail breakdown of estimate for the options.

Thanks Killian and crew -- please keep up the good work!Posted onVerified We have a very old tree that we absolutely love. Unfortunately the tree started spreading roots onto our neightbor's property looking for water (possibly due to their installation of astroturf). We contacted Killian to come out to our home to take a look and give us advice on what could be done. Despite a busy schedule, he came on the same day. After a thorough and insightful inspection, he let us know what our options are. He is a skilled professional and promptly provided a very detailed report with photos. He obviously loves what he does and has high regard for nature and his clients.
