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.

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.

It had become a real maintenance headache. On top of that, a bunch of small trees had started sprouting everywhere from the seeds constantly dropping from these larger trees.

They cleared things out thoughtfully and professionally, and the difference is huge--our backyard now gets much more natural light, and we're no longer dealing with constant debris buildup in the gutters. The whole process was smooth, and the results exceeded our expectations. Really appreciate the work--thank you, Precision Tree Care!

LICENSED AND AFFORDABLE…read more This past summer my sister was helping our parents of finding a tree arborist to trim tree branches from our neighbor's yard that were hovering over parents' backyard in Fremont. My parents felt the quote provided from the tree arborist was expensive. My sister asked me to find other trees arborists on Yelp. I asked J.T.S. Tree Expert for a quote. When I made the request on Yelp I also checked the box to send the request to other vendors. I met most of the vendors that responded through Yelp at my parents' place. In August I scheduled as many tree arborists as possible I could for a free estimate. I learned a lot from them regarding what needed to be done. Seeing multiple tree arborists provided me insights on what issues to ask. After the appointments each tree arborist provided me with a quote. One was really expensive even though he was licensed. There were a couple of tree arborists that weren't licensed that provided more reasonable quote. One thing I observed from my encounters with the tree arborists is they would tell you about the estimated quote for the trimming however when I received the quote there was another charge for the cleaning. When I met Jose and Veronica from J.T.S Tree Expert I showed them the backyard on my parents' home. J.T.S was the second to the last tree arborist I scheduled for an estimated quote. Jose told me that time frame for trimming the trees would be six hours. At the end I decide to go with J.T.S as they were not only licensed but also the cheapest as the quote included the tree trimming and the cleaning. I wasn't there on the day of Friday October 10 when J.T.S workers came to my parents' house for the trimming. However my parents were. They said the processed took about five hours. I went to the backyard on Monday October 13 to see the outcome. I was more than happy with the result of the branches that were trimmed. I can see the fence of my parents' backyard. If you need a tree arborist that is licensed and affordable I recommend J.T.S. Tree Expert, Inc.

This was a very difficult project located alongside a creek, and they were tasked with removing two massive eucalyptus trees-each over 100 feet tall-for our neighborhood. What really stood out was their precision and expertise. They completed the entire job without the use of a crane, which was especially impressive considering the tight access and creek-side location. Watching them work, you could tell they were highly methodical and relied heavily on geometry to guide every cut and control each section safely. The level of care they took with safety, both for the crew, our homes and the surrounding area, was evident throughout the process, and they left the site very clean once the work was done. The team was extremely hardworking and efficient-you could tell they are very experienced and they don't waste a single minute on the job. On top of that, the budget was very reasonable for the complexity and scale of the project. If you're looking for a highly skilled team that takes pride in their work, prioritizes safety, and delivers strong value, I highly recommend J.T.S Tree Expert, Inc.
