Skyview Tree crew of Santa Clara County trespassed through back neighbor yard and shared fence onto…read morefamily yard with healthy old growth ordinance sized Redwood tree on Thursday November 20th, 2025 without an appointment or notification. They had no county-required permit, and no 811 service was pre-marked around the yard before they arrived. The healthy, majestic, sacred and irreplaceable Redwood tree only needed simple pruning/trimming and had been inspected not long before this travesty caused by Skyview crew who removed hundreds of branches from the Redwood. They ignored my demands for them to stop, continued removing all branches, topping the tree, essentially to poach the wood. I contacted to Santa Clara County Arborist Inspectors San Jose Code Enforcement plus tried reaching Skyview Trees before they topped the very top of the tree. There's also a Skyview Trees business in Rohnert Park/Sonoma County with Arborist certifications, accreditations licenses in business much longer than Marisa and Jaime's company - The Skyview Tree Services crewman who trespassed and began poaching away the healthy Redwood used their license number 949233 under false pretenses to botch the Redwood up so badly it could no longer survive... a form of passive tree poaching, with permit and 811 violations to boot. Code Enforcement Director, II David Parker 408-535-7759 david1.parker@sanjoseca.gov verified the otherwise healthy ordinance sized old growth, protected California Redwood Tree was unnecessarily topped by Skyview crew after they purposely over-pruned hundreds and hundreds of virile old growth branches off the entire trunk of the neighborhood ecology and my family's sacred Redwood Tree. We never even received written or verbal notification to expect tree crewmen encroaching our private, personal yard and tree through the neighbor's yard by Skyview, nor the housing community management and community groundskeeper... This was an opportunistic tree poaching by Skyview and who knows what all their cohorts against a senior citizen's family home. Even the common area groundskeeper seemed to be in cahoots with Skyview and two weeks, December 4th after commicating again with Arbortist and Code Enforcement, he physically attacked me, causing multiple serious injuries, a 911 call. Law enforcement did file a report regarding that brutality and also the Redwood tree poaching attempt from November 20th. I had contacted 811 after that incident from November shortly thereafter due to the Skyview tree crew not having permits, and damages they caused as extremely skilled trespassers/poachers/tree-removers with expensive work trucks and heavy equipment. The areas Skyview Tree crewmen encroached were not premarked nor flagged prior to their intrusion on November 20th, 2025 and same thing before they trespassed again to finish poaching all the Redwood trunk full of highly valuable heartwood on Monday February 9th 2026. This time a permit had been issued a by Code Enforcement for "Dead Tree Removal", because Skyview intentionally murdered the Redwood Tree - and no doubt in my mind they had been eyeing the tree for some time while doing palm tree maintenance in the neighborhood common areas. This company has violated my family's deeply religiously held property and rights multiple times in addition to professional standards they purposely and knowingly disregarded to poach the sacred Redwood, all it's branches and timber. Redwood Tree poaching under pretenses of pruning/trimming (intentional over pruning and topping of healthy, ordinance sized old growth California Redwood) without permit in November 2025, and also no 811 premarking of areas is the legacy of Skyview license number 949233 to me - do your research about quality tree professionals not tree poachers with plenty of heavy and expensive equipment... They stole tons of Redwood lumber from our yard, including heartwood and mulch. And many of the yard stepping stones were damaged by their heavy equipment. Unforgettably beyond heartbreaking, Skyview's corruption.. Marisa and Jaime Mendosa 949233 need further investigation currently about their past and alleged "professionalism" guise regarding connections in California and other states, countries to tree poachers.

We are 100% happy customers (-: We requested for all of our different palm trees, box shrubs, and podocarpus hedge to be trimmed back (all if not most were at least 2-3 stories tall). The crew was on time, extremely efficicent and communicative. Everyone was very mindful of our neighbors fence, property, roof line and powerlines. Everyone had PPE on and were so incredibly safe when scaling the trees and hedges. Clean up was very thorough. Majority of our fronds and hedge were processed by the chipper and hauled. Our neighbor was so impressed with the crew he also hired them on the spot to take care of his street tree. It is impressive how much green waste we produced that day. Luckily the city picks up yard trimings on the street so his crew broke down anything else we had to sizeable chunks and neatly piled for SJ GreenWaste to pick up. We will be happy to call them again for yearly tree maintenance service.

He set a time for the estimate, let me know he was on the way, and arrived at the time agreed. Joseph inspected my yard areas with me and had some ideas that I hadn't considered. He gave a competitive estimate, including an accurate timeframe when his crew would arrive. His team also arrived on time. They're equipped like professionals, including all their gear and grinders. They look like they've been working together for a long time as they were quite efficient. They collected all the scraps and blew away all the debris so my yard looks really clean. After they left, Joseph did a walkthrough with me to make sure everything was done right. Thanks so much. I'll definitely call you guys again when I need more work done.

I believe this company was hired by the county or another entity, but I want to bring a serious…read moreconcern to your attention. My husband spoke briefly to the crew to suggest that, before trimming the manzanita located on the property line, they verify whether it should be pruned, as manzanita can be a protected species in the Sandhills area. He shared this information only to be helpful and to ensure compliance with local environmental protections (see: https://www.santacruzsandhills.com/endemic_plants.html). As my husband was walking away, one of the workers referred to him as a "pendejo" to others on the crew. Both my husband and I are Spanish speakers, so we clearly understood the remark. This raises two concerns: Crews representing your company that are being hired by the county should verify which plants and trees they are cutting or pruning, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas such as the Sandhills. It is completely unacceptable for your employees to insult residents--especially while representing your company and while on the job.

PG & E sent out California Tree Solutions to trim trees growing too close to the power lines. We explained the trees are very old and we wanted a minimal trim necessary to be safe and meet their minimum requirements. As you can see from the images, California Tree Solutions butchered our tree. We are at the point of waiting to see if it survives. We were told an arborist would supervise the trimming. She did not. All the supervisor could say is "We heard you and we are both ridiculously annoyed with that crew. We now take a different crew for sensitive properties. All we can do is apologize on his behalf." Nice. Our tree is decimated, and they are sorry. To add insult to injury they left all the branches in a pile, some in front of our business and some by the dying tree. They said a chipper would be out. Our fault we didn't ask which year. They never showed up. Run them off your property unless you want to watch your trees, as we are watching our once beautiful oak, die a slow death.

They were supposed to remove the tree and the stump. They removed them and then covered the stump with a big pile of wood chips and verbally told me that they completely removed the stump.

Of all the companies that provided quotes, JC Tree Experts was the most detailed. Some simply scribbled a price on their business card, but JC Tree Experts emailed a detailed quote explaining exactly what work was included, debris hauled away, etc., photos of the trees to be worked on, arborist certification, and even their insurance certificate as evidence that the company and their employees were covered in the event of accident or injury on our property. This was by far more than any other company provided, and it was a clear indication of their level of professionalism. Theirs was not the lowest quote, but was much more reasonable than some. They arrived as scheduled to do the work - in fact, a little early. It was a large crew with two large trucks and a wood chipper. The crew confirmed the expectations with us and set to work. They were all cheerful and friendly, but worked quite efficiently, completing the work in less than an hour. They did a great job on the trees, cleaned up all the debris completely, and even used a blower to make sure they didn't miss anything. I wholeheartedly recommend JC Tree Experts.
