    After trim.

    We are extremely pleased with the services provided. The team trimmed two 50-foot trees precisely to our specifications and exceeded our expectations with their thorough cleanup afterward. Their crew demonstrated exceptional professionalism and efficiency throughout the process. I highly recommend their services and look forward to working with them again in the future.

    I did use them again!!! After my neighbor cut their side of the tree it caused an imbalance, and stress on the tree causing a crack. Quick response once again, and they did a beautiful job.

    Wow. I can't say anything but good things about this company. They price fairly and do an incredible job. They even cleaned up and the site looked even better than when they got here. They were able to give me an same day estimate and complete the job in the same week. I wish all services were like Garcia. Kudos to Fernando and Rolando his sons who represent the business so well!

    Rolando and his crew are the real deal--apparently he's been in the the tree business for 20+ years now. We're so happy to support a Mexican-owned Oakland business! We called Rolando for an emergency job when one of our acacia trees toppled over after the recent Dragon Storm. Rolando was on-site within a couple hours and his crew shortly thereafter to get to work. Since they got a late start they had to finish picking up the pieces early the next morning, but the entire job was done in ~10 hours or so. Nothing was left of the tree except the few pieces we wanted to keep. The crew did an excellent job of tidying up the yard after they were finished. We called Rolando back to remove another (this time upright) acacia tree and the crew showed up early and were pleasant to interact with. They began around 8:45a (agreed start-time was 9a) and were done by 5p or so, with stump removed and yard as tidy as ever. Thank you Rolando and team!

    Can't give a great review and cannot give a bad review. I messaged the gentleman. Informed him my property needed to have 2 trees removed. He arrived and had a conversation with the individual on the property. They informed him as to what 2 trees needed to be taken down. He looked and gave an estimate of around $800. When asked if he would remove the stumps. He said, no. Removing the stumps will kill the trees next to them. Hearing that. We decided to get a second opinion. We went with the second opinion. And the surrounding trees are still well and thriving

Alejandro only told the truth after we had gathered a big 10-person crew of my general contractor's team, the city inspector and whole concrete team ready to pour the sidewalk. With all these men looking to him for approval as the arborist, he buckled and admitted he wasn't a "certified arborist" but a "licensed arborist." We were all dumbfounded. This colossal waste of time cost me several thousand dollars more from a two week delay and extra man hours over Xmas, when Alejandro left a big safety hazard of sharp nails, overturned plywood, and a mess of wood chips on the sidewalk that another crew had to manage when he was a no-show on the cleaning part. At least he did actually prune the roots after he found a real "certified arborist" to replace him. He did cut back the tree branches just fine. But If you need anything more official than a tree haircut, I don't recommend you choose Alejandro.

Based on that job, we had Jose come back to price planting of sago palms and trimming trees/bushes/hedges. His price sounded good so we scheduled a one-day job for the work. On the scheduled Tuesday, a crew of three arrived (but not Jose to lead the work). We had to explain to the lead what we wanted done (same as we had explained to Jose before). The lead did not appear to understand us completely. The lead even FaceTimed with Jose for clarification. Apparently, that didn't make it any clearer for the lead...as evidenced by the crew's work. During the first three hours, the crew only managed to plant the sago palms...half of them planted too deep in depressions. They ran out of soil. The lead found a bag on my property and asked if they could use it. After I told him no, he used it anyway and said he misunderstood me. One guy also had to leave to buy more soil for the sagos. After I complained to Jose, the crew provided a replacement bag of soil. The crew trimmed the palm trees and hedges ok. They, however, botched the rest of their work. They butchered the bushes, fruit trees and other trees. They only completed about have the work and didn't cleanup at the end of their day...saying they'd be back on Friday. We feel it is unacceptable for them to have left the job site in such a state...even if they planned to return. The crew also broke a yard lantern. Not sure if we can get a replacement. We cancelled their Friday return and only paid them for the work completed. We are not satisfied with either the partial job done or the price charged for that partial job. It's crap. Vega Tree Service clearly had a more important job elsewhere and sent an inexperienced/subpar lead and crew to do our job. Poor customer service. We will not be using Vega's Tree Service again. We also cannot recommend them to other customers.

He came by today, several years after the first visit, as my trees need some more attention than what I can give (even with his advice). Alex was able to immediately apply a fungicide treatment, and was happy to explain everything he was doing. If you won or care for trees, do yourself a favor by calling Savant Arborist.

Chris drove the dump truck, loaded with 14 cubic yards, directly over pavers that my friends and I painstakingly prepped and placed, despite there being plenty of obviously non-paver driveway. His driving error upended my pavers and even broke some of them. Then, driving off of the pavers (over the edge of my driveway) then back up over the driveway again to line up the truck messed up the _driveway_ too. All he said was that he didn't see the footpath and that I could get use glue on one of the broken pavers; no apologies, no offer to make things right, just griping about how he wished he could have gotten rid of the chips sooner because they were already decomposing in the truck (he had called ahead with urgency that it would be inconvenient for him to arrive in the afternoon like he planned, so I was trying to accommodate him arriving in the middle of one of my appointments with 20 minutes notice). Obviously this review isn't for tree service. However, both professionalism and machine operation are--I dare presume--integral parts of the arborist business and probably important to you too as a customer. Chris showed aptitude in neither in his work on my property and I can't recommend his business Tree Mechanics.

No one from Madriz told me that they were going to prune the tree and let large branches free-fall into my backyard onto the plants in my garden and garage roof. Completely unprofessional. With respect to your request for a video, I do have a video of your Madriz worker in my backyard pulling piles and piles of branches off of my plants in my garden. With respect to your comment that I was "yelling and screaming" and "harassing" your workers, you are gaslighting me. I don't yell, scream, or harass workers. It's offensive and untrue. If you wanted to dead-drop limbs from an oak tree into my backyard, onto the plants in my garden, you should have contacted me first and discussed it. You never did.
