“V&E did a fantastic job on my pines! After strong winds and rain, Eric called while they were trimming to let me know I had a lot of broken branches up top. I was lucky they got me scheduled so quickly!”

Five decades of caring for Orange County's trees
V&E began in 1972 when high-school friends Vic and Ed — both Orange firefighters — started trimming trees to supplement a fireman's paycheck. As word spread, they left the department to grow the business full time.
Today we serve homeowners, HOAs, contractors and public agencies across Southern California, but our office is still right here in the City of Orange and our foundation is still the homeowner.

“I have used V&E for many years on several properties. They are licensed & insured, which provides peace of mind. Their tree work has been consistent year after year.”
