We had a huge weeping willow tree that was nearing the end of its life and was hanging over both my house 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. read more

I requested a tree and stump removal for my house. I texted after 5pm and Jose still answered and set up a time to meet the following day. He was able to remove the tree the same day and was very responsive. His team removed the tree and stump within 30 minutes. Overall, very satisfied. read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Jose and team on multiple properties and each time I'm am ecstatic on how my tree appears after their work. I would add a 6th star if I could! read more

Great crew, work and pricing. They work extremely fast which I appreciate very much because it means minimal complaints from neighbors. Looking forward to working with them in the future. Thanks! read more

Madriz Tree pruned a large oak tree in my neighbor's backyard. The branches extend over to my property by about 8-10 feet. They cut an extensive number of branches from the oak tree and let them free-fall on my property, which is full of plants. The branches damaged my plants extensively. My backyard was probably 4 feet high with branches, and 8 feet deep. When I talked to one of the workers, he said the plants were "OK", but that wasn't true. When I asked to speak to the supervisor from Madriz, the workers said he wasn't there. 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. read more

I had quite a few trees to be worked on in my garden, 5 of varying types, including one 3-storey or more Pittosporum with many dead branches on it which had never been touched in 40 years, and a Bottle brush or two which were by a fence and the sidewalk. Jose came out the day after I looked for bids. He was very pleasant to speak with and walked around making notes, drawing on his cell phone while he listened to what I wanted. He was one of three bids. Ultimately he was the one I chose being able to meet the other bid, but come out within 2 days to do the work, instead of one month!!! They arrived on time, the crew of three, with a big wood chipper etc and did a lovely job, with the best vibes, and did all the work in 3 1/4 hours. I would highly recommend them. They also cleaned up after themselves very well. They are incredible tree climbers also btw. read more

Madriz Tree Service did a fantastic job. The crew was professional, efficient, and clearly very experienced. They trimmed a large oak tree exactly as described and worked quickly while being careful and respectful of the property. Cleanup was thorough--everything was left neat and tidy when they finished. I'm very pleased with the work and would highly recommend them. read more

The owner of Madriz, Jose came at the time requested and gave me some recommendations and a satisfactory price for the job. His crew came later in the week and did a good job on my tree and took pains to clean up the site before leaving. read more

The Madriz team did an absolutely fantastic job on our trees! We had overgrown maple, liquid ambers, olive trees, and a lemon tree. The team was punctual, very communicative, checking in frequently to review their work, and all I had to do was show a couple photos, and they were able to thin out and shape the maple exactly how we wanted it! They have a great aesthetic eye so all of the trees looked beautiful after trimming. They also did a wonderful job cleaning and hauling everything away, so it looks like they were never here! Prices were very reasonable as well. They will definitely be our go to team for our annual tree trimming needs. Highly recommend! read more

Hi Jose, Hope all is well with you! Not sure if you have got my message earlier, so I reply here again. Thank you for calling out and clarifying your situation for delaying response issue the other day. I truly believe doing a business is not only focusing on if the case is big or small but determined if you are going to do it well for the long run and keep your company for the best reputation. You showed up for our estimate appointment 45 mins late, if you need that much flexible time it's best to give a time window than an exact time, because most people can only tolerance 15-20mins waiting without further notice, you can call or send a text message to let us know that you're going to be late, that works too, showing you respect our time too. You didn't respond within a few hours to my question like you said on your Yelp reply but DAYS, and I reached out to you first after waiting for DAYS. I like you, I can tell you are a good person, a good father, and I love the performance of your crew, but I also hope sharing my experience of how I feel during this process working with you can maybe somehow help you do even better with the business, not trying to criticize you. Hope you understand that. Wishing you have fully recovered from your cold and feeling healthy again. You know you can give a heads up to let the customers know your situation, we would understand, or you can have someone backup for you when you are sick or traveling than keeping customers waiting or leading to complaints. I sincerely hope I can give out a 5 stars to you next time! Best regards! Grace read more

Amazing oak tree pruning! They specialize in working with large trees so we felt confident they can handle this tree. We not only wanted someone who understood tree structure and stability, but someone who could also make it beautiful. They did a great job and the tree is open and lighter. Great cleanup job after too. They also do bamboo removal. I will hire them again, Jose is really awesome. read more

Fast and friendly service! A large tree in my backyard fell because of the high winds we've been experiencing in the bay. The fallen tree was leaning against my garage and a neighbors shed. Within minutes, I was in contact with Jose on the phone and within a couple of hours, he was at my home assessing the situation and providing me with, what I think was a reasonable quote. Jose talked me through how his team would approach the removal safely for both his team and the structures in harms way. Within only a couple of hours, I had a quote and a time the next day for his team to come and remove the tree. Jose's team arrived early the next day with the first limb cut promptly at 8AM. They made quick work of the tree and were driving away by 11AM. They took care to clean any debris in my backyard, on my driveway and on the street out front. I would absolutely recommend Madriz services. read more

Their great crew did an excellent job at the reasonable price. Very happy. Highly recommend them!

Jose (the owner) responded quickly with an estimate. He was extremely thorough and his price was quite reasonable. His crew of five arrived as planned and ON TIME ;-). The crew was courteous and very communicative throughout the day. They ensured I was happy with each tree (12 in total) they trimmed and happily went back over one of them after I requested they do so. They left my property spotless too! They clearly take pride in their work and aim to make their clients happy and don't just rush to complete the job. I recommend Jose and his crew without hesitation and will definitely use them in the future. read more

I had a few things done by Madriz Tree Service done today: 1. Trim of large elm tree, 2. Pruning 4 fruit trees, 3. Removal of a few invasive privat trees, and 4 a couple palm trees trimmed. And here's what stood out: 1. Jose was very responsive to my requests. He came out to my home in a timely manner (early actually), reviewed all of my questions thoroughly, was timely with a detailed quote. And he didn't try to upsell me on other things. Just straightforward and fair. 2. When I finally decided on Madriz, they were able to accommodate my schedule. 3. They did a great job on all the trimming and removal. Staying very organized and safe. 4. The cleanup afterward was top notch. I would use Madriz again for all tree needs. read more

SERVICE: Vegetation cleanup - to clean up all the bushes and small trees on my hillside. After trimming things down, his crew thoroughly cleaned up all the debris. No mess left behind. Very efficient and friendly group! PRICING: Jose was very transparent and upfront in explaining how his pricing and services works. From going over all the details of: how many people necessary to get the job done, how long it would take his crew, and removal.

We hired Madriz ever after getting a lower quote from one other company because we liked the great communication and approach described by the owner Jose, and it was definitely the right choice. We hired them to remove a large pine and oak tree that were entangled together in our front yard and getting very large in preparation for landscaping, as well as to trim a couple of trees behind our house. They did an excellent job. The team of 3 men that arrived were punctual, efficient, and left everything in even better condition than we even expected. Highly recommend for any tree removal or trimming needs. read more

Great crew. Good work. Excellent price. If you're serious about getting some work done call now you'll be happy you did.

Jose responded right away to my inquiry and came over the same day to walk through what I was looking for and gave me an estimate right then! The crew was thorough, thoughtful, and patient with me (recovering perfectionist). Super happy with the results and would recommend their services to anyone looking for a reputable tree trimming/removing service. read more

Fast, efficient, thorough. Cleaned up everything (including the street) before they left.

We have/had a pretty overgrown property with a variety of trees that needed work including really old pines, a couple of oaks, a eucalyptus, maple, privets, etc.! Jose came over and we talked about each one of them and how to trim them naturally and/or remove them. He was very thorough going through the project with me giving me individual quotes as well as a quote for the whole project. We agreed to go with him after receiving a few other quotes not only due to price but because he really made me feel like he understood what should be done and listened to my priorities. He and his crew came and did an excellent job. It was a fantastic experience and we will definitely be using him next time! read more

We very highly recommend Madriz. They have an extraordinary focus on customer service and delivering quality work. Communication throughout our extensive tree trimming was flawless. They trimmed a half dozen trees and for each one took great care of the tree's health and aesthetics while restoring our view. We have worked with many tree services over the years and they are clearly the best. read more

They did such a great job at taking down a big tree in my backyard. It was starting to push up concrete with the roots and I was worried about it going under my foundation. They came in, took it down, removed the stump and hauled everything away. Great communication, great price, and great service. Def recommended! read more

If you need landscaping/tree trimming in the East Bay, look no further. Jose the owner has an engineering background and it is reflected in his professionalism and meticulous execution. We have a big, beautiful oak tree that was overgrown. The branches encased the power lines. Oscar and Aroldo did an awesome job. They were here on time, checked in and informed us about the process a couple times. They went above and Beyond. Tree trimming company with 5 stars. read more

Madriz Tree Service trimmed a humongous eucalyptus tree and Poplar tree which hung over my backyard today. The workers were amazing the way they managed their tools and climbed the tree. I am very happy with the result and would highly recommend Madriz Tree Service. Jose was very responsive and communicated very clearly and precisely. If you have any trees needing attention, I would highly recommend Madriz Tree Service. read more

Working with Madriz Tree Service for the second time was an even better experience than the first time. The first time we contracted MTS was to remove a mature agave plant whose flower was threatening to destroy some power lines. Then we knew that when the time came for any other landscape work to be done to our home we would hire Jose again. Indeed we did and we were thrilled with the process and the results. We received excellent service, in a timely and responsive manner, always with the most professional approach. The best thing of all was Madriz Tree Service's reliability and ability to perform the entire project. Our yard had juniper bushes deemed dangerous by the local fire department and we were forced to remove them. Our empty front yard is now looking beautiful and it's only been two months. I cannot wait to see it once it is mature! We will continue working with Madriz Tree Service next in November! read more

We have found the BEST tree service!! From our first contact with Mr. Jose Madriz we were provided with a prompt appointment to come and evaluate our situation with an enormous pine tree. He was very professional and knowledgeable. We've had several evaluations in the past as we considered the threat of the tree on our house. But with our increased fear of severity and frequency of our weather patterns, we felt an urgency to consult with a real professional. Not just a brave guy with a truck trying to make a few bucks!!! Ten days after our first contact (and only because they were very busy dealing with emergency situations) ....we had a crew of six experienced professionals at our door. From their prompt arrival time to set-up, to the time they had completed the job and cleaned up...it was most IMPRESSIVE!! to witness It was truly amazing to watch these men work during the hours that it took to cut down our enormous tree in a safe manner for themselves and our house!!! We cannot recommend this company enough!!! If you need a tree cut... don't wait to be in an emergency situation. Hire this company now!! They cleaned up after they were done so well that you could hardly know that they had been here! Except for the enormous empty space where our tree used to be. In our back yard, on a hill, way too close to the house! It was very sad to have to cut that tree. But the frequent sleepless nights fearing the worst with the past storms!! Was worth EVERY PENNY of our investment in this highly knowledgeable company with their experienced crew!! They were like a fine oiled machine!! Thank you once again gentlemen!! read more

Super easy to work with and his price was reasonable. His crew cut down two trees. Had no issues with company at all.

Jose and his crew are like supermen of there trade. They removed a large Ash tree and ground its stump and trimmed a Willow tree from my front yard. I was impressed with all his equipment and how they used them. Watching them work was like a home movie running fast forward all this while doing excellent work. I would highly recommend using Jose he cares about your job. read more

I have a dead tree in my yard and need it removed. I called Jose (owner) and he got back to me very quickly. He came on the same day to provide a quote and was able to confirm a price $2250 right away. I had another quote for $2440 so I knew his quote was competitive. The other company requested access to my neighbor's yard though, which I could not get, so I felt Jose was offering a better service. Scheduling was easy and he had availability the next week. I decided to go with another 3rd company, but Jose was willing to match or beat their price. I think Jose and his crew would have done a great job though, but I already scheduled with the other company. read more

Madriz Tree Service did a great job from start to finish when we needed quick service on a tree limb that had fallen into a neighbors yard. He was very easy to reach and responsive to messages and calls. He showed up promptly to get a look at the situation and had several options about how to approach the work. His crew was professional and attentive to the work and took care not to damage several large maguey cactus we had underneath the tree. They cleaned up the fallen branches, limbed the tree and carried away all the debris, and did the work with care. All this made for us a stress free experience. And the final expense did not break our bank, which was a great relief. Overall, great work at an affordable price. read more

We needed to have several trees removed and others trimmed for fire safety. Madriz was clean, efficient and equipped. They even did a little extra weeding for us during the clean up. Jose the owner is knowledgeable, gave us a real quote in writing (others we checked out were not so professional) and was in communication after we set up the appointment. Last but not least, the price was affordable. read more

I will be a returning customer! We needed a large podocarpus tree and a row of bamboo trimmed. I really appreciated Jose going into detail on how they would do the trims and why. And the price was reasonable. It also involved dealing with debris in two neighbors yards and the team did a beautiful job cleaning everything up! Great experience overall! read more

Jose the owner will take a check from you in full at the time of service, then destroy your check, then come back to your property over a year later, stand on your doorstep and refuse leave till you answer the door. Then when you scream at him to leave your property he will refuse until you scream over and over and threaten calling the police. Spoke to Jose after, he does not understand that insisting homeowners answer their doors is wrong and illegal after he was asked to leave. read more

We moved to a new home with an avocado tree way too overgrown - overhanging the neighbor's house and yard, and dropping large avocados from ~80 feet. Jose and the highly skilled crew from Madriz Tree service did a phenomenal job fixing our problem while saving the tree. We chose Madriz because Jose gave the most honest estimate and seemed the most knowledgable and considerate of our needs compared to other services. The Madriz crew were able to remove huge branches without dropping them in the neighbor's yard, shaped the tree beautifully, worked around an old fence and buildings without damaging them, and cleaned up our entire yard before finishing up. We are so glad they saved the tree but made it way more manageable. It looks dramatically different now, but it's shaped so that it will grow back evenly and be more manageable. Madriz will be our first call next time we have tree/landscaping needs and I'd recommend them to anyone that asked! read more

Madriz Tree Service was great to work with. Prompt responses and clear communication were some of the highlights. The project was to remove a huge stand of bamboo that covered our entire North side of the house, so that we could have the house painted. When he was at the house to give me a quote on the bamboo, he noticed our Golden Rain tree needed significant pruning. He gave us a great quote and the job was finished with the bamboo removal in less than an hour. Thank you! read more

It was an excellent experience. We requested for two trees to be accessed which were in need of some attention to make them more beautiful and safe. The specialists (Oscar & Ronaldo) arrived early and started the work with the lower branches before mounting the "bucket" to reach the top of the approximately 40 foot sycamore beautiful trimming/pruning! The ~40 foot queen palm was next to receive a little trim. Great quality work included the cleanup. I will recommend Madriz to all the neighbors. Professionalism, artistry and great value!! read more

Jose provided a free estimate with some good advice on what to do with my trees. He has a really good energy and was super fast responding and scheduling services. Jose and his team did a great job pruning my overgrown trees and removing several dead trees. They did such a thorough job cleaning up felled fruit and debris I hardly recognized the yard afterwards. I am super happy with their work and would recommend them to anyone looking to support a local business. read more
