If you own property in the Bay Area, you already know tree bids can get... aspirational…read more I've used EC Tree Service three times over five years -- everything from removing multiple 50-year flowering pear trees to taking out three tall birches to regular roofline trims so my insurance doesn't panic. Edwin's estimates are straightforward and fair. No "we'll reassess once we're up there." The number stays the number. I've also priced the larger companies (including The Davey Tree Expert Company), and the difference wasn't subtle. EC came in literally 3-4x less. Same clean cuts. Same haul-away. Same spotless yard. They show up. They move fast. They clean everything. In a region where contractor pricing sometimes feels venture-backed, Edwin is refreshingly old-school.

The first time we used them everything was good and had no issues. However, we ended up using them…read morefor a bigger project for the 2nd time and they didn't care about my flowers underneath the tree they were trimming. I have about 10 individual plants with delicate flowers in the ground that I planted underneath the tree and instead of dropping the largest branches on the grass in front of the tree to avoid my delicate flowers, they destroyed them by carelessly dropping those large branches one by one all over the flowers. I saw them on video do it too. I had to put some of the stems back together with ties however, one of my flowering plants died due to the damage being too significant. Won't be using them again. They need to not be so careless.

I also interviewed 5 other tree services, they were one of two services that actually gave me a…read morewritten estimate. The rest were pretty much verbal estimates. I was really impressed with the crew's work/removal on 3 cypress trees. They truly were "hardworking" in the removal process. Cleanup and hauling away more than I can ask for. Excellent job!

Efficient and punctual is great for any contractor! They took about 6 hours total to remove 1 very tall (but dead) Monterey Pine to about the fence line and trim away the dead branches on a second pine. The cleaned up and made the area even cleaner than it was before. All of the debris was hauled away and in the second tree they not only cut the dead branches away but also made it look nicer by doing expert pruning. Overall we are so happy with the work. They have easily won a place in our books for any future tree needs.

Foreman and crew were very professional and handled everything with precision and care. Thank you…read moreso much! 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.

Sean took care of filing the permit for the street tree and worked within my schedule. The crew arrived on time and did a great job expertly extracting the plum tree, grinding down the main trunk and a lateral root. They took their time to remove dead wood areas and shape the larger trees to comply with city regulations but still retain shape and shade. Same was done with the shrubs/trees in the backyard, improving spacing from the house and reducing height to not block solar panels. All debris was removed and ground up in their wood chipper. Very pleased with the results, see photos attached. I continue to recommend Sean and his team!

He provided a clear estimate, answered all of our questions, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. The crew who came out did an excellent job with our tree pruning.

We really appreciate Sean's expertise and the quality of his team's work. Everyone was friendly and reliable, and we are very happy with the result. We would definitely recommend them and would use them again for future tree care needs.

I called a couple other tree companies but you could feel the difference in the customer service when I talked to Jerry. Payne Tree Care lives up to its name ! Jerry gave me the fairest price but what also sold me was his character. Price is one thing but honestly is priceless. I have used this gauge on every Contractor I have worked with throughout my years and never have been disappointed. Quality of work was excellent as well as communication. This is why Payne Tree Care gets 5 Stars as well as the owner Jerry ! Kudos and looking forward to sending you more business ! Lastly... Cost: $1,450.00 to remove this huge branch, chip it up and clean the area. If you do use Payne Tree Care understand each project cost differs due to accessibility, height of trimming, removal and liabilities of possible damage of other structures during the process. I understood this but I'm giving you a tip on understanding how the contractor comes up with their bids sometimes.

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. They simply could not have done a better job!
