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.

With the strong storm winds we had, a large tree branch fell on our roof on Christmas Eve. We…read morecontacted EC Tree Service for emergency removal and trimming, and they were absolutely fantastic. Even though it was Christmas Day, Elmer showed up within 30 minutes and provided an extremely fair and honest estimate. His crew arrived about 30 minutes later and completed the job promptly and professionally. They were very careful with our clay tile roof while removing the large branch and also took the time to prune all the weak branches from the tree to prevent future issues. Everything was done safely, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with them during a stressful situation, and I truly appreciated their responsiveness and professionalism--especially on a holiday. I would highly recommend EC Tree Service to anyone in need of tree work.

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.

The most unprofessional company I've dealt with in a long time. I contacted Magestic Tree Service…read morefor an estimate to replace two city-required trees under strict deadlines imposed by the city. The representative came out, looked at the property, and assured me they could get the work done quickly and would send over a quote shortly. After that -- nothing. No quote, no follow-up, no response. I understand if a company is too busy or simply doesn't want to take on a job. But ghosting customers, especially when they are dealing with city deadlines and potential penalties, is extremely unprofessional. A simple "we're not interested" or "we can't take this on" would have been far more respectful of my time.

I've worked with several different tree companies, and Gary and his team led by Sergio stood out to…read moreme for their excellence - both in communication and quality of work. Gary first visited and gave a thoughtful explanation of recommended work. He also connected us with an arborist to consult on some of our struggling trees, which was very helpful. We had many trees that needed significant trimming and/or shaping (in part due to poor work done by a previous company) as well as stumps to be removed. Sergio and his team did a great job, clearly had attention to detail, and communicated well as we discussed the plan - expressing their ideas clearly but also listening to feedback. One of the challenges I've seen with some other companies is the owner talks a good game but the crew isn't at the same level. But that wasn't our experience with Valley Tree Care -- Sergio and team really delivered. Very impressed and will use them again for our future tree 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.

However, this morning, I find myself meeting a team member from JMV Tree Service, who is a licensed arborist and very professional, and I asked him if he could remove a few trees for me. He said yes and once he saw the project and its scope, he told me he could complete the project in a few hours. Then about 30 minutes later, he sent a crew. (It's all in the timing)!! To my amazement, they removed all of it while I was at work and they did such a fantastic job. I wish I did it months ago because this tree has been bothering me and dropping things in my backyard and it was driving me crazy. Absolutely bonkers... so much so, I bought a leaf blower because this tree was making such a mass every day on the deck. And in just a couple hours and for a very fair price, Jonathan and his team at JMV Tree Service did a fine job and made it very easy for me. Yes, I will keep them in my contacts for help with my trees in the future. I'm glad my neighbor introduced us and I am very grateful because they know their stuff and they did a great job.

Javier from JC Tree Experts came to give us a quote on pruning two citrus tress. We were impressed…read moreby his professionalism and clear knowledge of the task at hand. 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!
