We had a huge weeping willow tree that was nearing the end of its life and was hanging over both my…read morehouse and my neighbors. We also had some very tall oaks that needed to be trimmed back. Jose came out and was extremely conscientious and discussed ways we could keep the willow if we wanted. He even gave us different quotes to reflect our options. We decided removal was the best choice, and he was flexible in his quote to come closer to other companies I spoke with. The crew arrived right on time and were extremely efficient. I was worried the willow would be difficult to safely take down, but they were very safe in climbing the tree. They also cut the oaks completely back from hanging over our roof, and ground multiple stumps we had around our yard. They were finished in less than 5 hours and cleaned the worksite very well - they even cleared a brush pile we had from some trimming we had done ourselves the week before. I'm very pleased with the work Madriz did, and would absolutely use them again. We have a lot of future projects in mind that they would be a great fit for.

Really glad we found Cal Line for our tree work. Alejandro came out, took a good look at…read moreeverything, and gave us a straightforward quote that ended up being more reasonable than the other bids we got. What stood out most was how much he actually knew, he explained why certain trees needed to be trimmed a certain way and at a certain time of year, not just "we'll cut it and see." The crew showed up when they said they would, worked fast without cutting corners, and hauled away all the debris so we weren't left with a mess in the yard. They even took down a couple of overgrown trees and cleaned up some hedges along the fence line, and the whole property looks so much better now. Everyone on the crew was easy to deal with and clearly knew what they were doing. We've already got a couple more trees we want looked at and Cal Line will be who we call.

I love these trees and they were part of why we bought the house. I wanted them to be tastefully trimmed so they look natural while also making sure they're safe and we're not going to have dead branches fall when the rainy season hits. Alejandro's quote was very reasonable, and his brother and the crew was able to do some other tree work with a minimal increase to the baseline quote. They did such a good job I want to have them back to take care of some other trees that I wasn't considering prioritizing, including a shared tree with the neighbor. Thank you for the great work!

Jose is an amazing guy and easily runs one of the best tree services in the area!

Having full coverage and real expertise is critical in this line of work, especially since our trees were right in the backyard and extremely close to the house.

We will gladly use Vegas Tree Removal again and will be recommending Jose to all of our friends for any tree trimming or removal needs. Definitely a huge thumbs up from us!

We had Jose from Vega's Tree Service out to look at some dying hedges and chose to have them plant…read morereplacements. Jose and his crew did a good job. 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.

Back…read morein the mid-90s my then-girlfriend-now-wife had taken a chainsaw to it to tidy it up and the results were, in a word, mangy. Professional assistance was required. Somehow I found Peter and the rest, as they say, was history. I've since said goodbye to that sycamore but their work in my current yard includes removing trees, grinding stumps, thinning the Berkeley-protected Live Oaks, trimming pittosporums and assessing the safety of neighboring trees. Nearly 20 years later from our first meeting Big Chief Tree Service is still the only tree service and Peter Rudy is still the only arborist I work with. There are numerous reasons for this: firstly, Peter loves trees. It's true. And quite endearing. He thinks about what's best for them. He recognizes that some are considered more valuable than others. He doesn't judge people's favorites. He understands human nature (the desire for views, the desire for foliage, the disagreements that these stately wonders can cause between neighbors) plays a role in tree care. Additionally, his crew is amazing. They are incredible to watch work, high in the boughs. They're efficient, their work is great, their clean-up is terrific. And they're friendly. The Big Chief Tree Service guys have been a team for a long time -- and this reflects well on them too. I like working with people who like their job and enjoy one another. Who doesn't?

My neighbor provided me with the contact information for Joshua Batoon, who was the project manager/certified arborist for his projects, as well as a separate project for his next door neighbor. In a nutshell, the whole transaction was seamless and great. Joshua got back to me super timely and provided an estimate very quickly. He came and explained the entire process and timing to me in detail His crew were all great. Very well trained, very respectful of my property, and very customer focused. They proactively put no parking signs in front of my property to allow their huge truck to properly park and recycle the tree limbs and branches. They trimmed a huge redwood tree. that has been partially on my property since my family bought the house back in 1956. The tree is now healthy and looks happy!

Assessed the situation and told me my options for tree removal, just a cut down or cut down + trunk removal. I opted for the latter. His price came in lower than someone else I had come and give me a quote, which I was surprised. My smallish pine tree (15 - 20 ft tall) was cut, stump removed, and cleaned up in 2.5 hours. Leo double checked if I wanted the hole to be left open where the stump was removed or cover it back up with dirt before they finished the project. I opted for them to cover the hole back up since I'm not ready to put in a new tree. Communication was good, he let me know when he was 5 mins out from my house and we were in communication about scheduling. Would definitely hire again.

I tried to cut down a tall maple tree on the border of a property myself. It was near houses and a…read morepower line ran straight through it, so I couldn't just fell it down. At first, it looked like I could do it. The bottom branches went down easily to a pole saw. Then I had to start climbing ladders, and then onto roofs to reach more branches. Holding a long pole saw overhead while maintaining balance on a roof is dangerous and tiring. On the third day it was time to cut the super high branches. The only way we could do it was with a Arborist sling slot, and alot of rope rigging and a rope saw. It was a headache and the equipment seemed expensive. Thankfully Willy's Tree service drove by and saw us struggling and took pity on us. We negotiated a fair price based on the work we had already done, and what we were quoted from other arborists (which was so high that it lead us to try it on our own originally). He said he would be back in two hours, but actually ended up late. I'm not going to dock any points for this because I knew we were a side job after his main job, and it was spontaneously scheduled. After his other job was over, he came over with his crew, a bucket truck, and a wood chipper that eats 12 inch logs like potato chips. And the entire job was done in the time that it would have taken me to cut 1 branch. At the end of the day, as his crew drove away, I was thankful that they came in and helped at a very fair price. So lesson learned. Save yourself the headache of expensive equipment, dangerous risk to life and limb, and call in a professional like Willy's Tree Service.
