    When looking for an expert in evaluating trees an arborist is who you'd pick. They are licensed and professionals in this area. While I believe this company has the license and experience to gain the title - communicating with the arborist is rather difficult. One thing was said at the initial estimate. While something entirely different occurred at the end of the job. Additional charges were quoted when an invoice was sent. The work was completed and 4 large trees were removed and stumps grounded up. When questioning the quality of the job ($5,025) it was received as hostile and not permissible. Clearly this company doesn't value the customer opinion or satisfaction part of doing business. I felt my concerns were legitimate as the lawn was torn up from the equipment used. The city street had hydraulic fuel marks from the equipment. And roots were present at the stumps. Questioning this seemed reasonable to me. Especially since I've never had large trees removed before. I would never recommend this company to anyone I know or who needed a tree service.

    We had this MASSIVE tree...very tall & a trunk about 3' wide. Not sure what kind of tree it was but it all too frequently would drop pods. No matter how well the area was cleaned...pods and small branches. Called three vendors. NorCal Arborists gave the best offer. Fast forward they arrived (unexpectedly) Sunday morning and three hours later the work was completed. They cleaned our yard and our neighbor's. The work was quick and professionally completed. See before and after photos. Highly recommend NorCal Arborist.

    Great work being done.

    I "enjoyed" our trees as they grew higher and higher and their leaf canopy provided shade for our…read morehouse and decks as well as home for many species of birds that serenaded us mornings and evenings. They grew to a height of over 40 feet and were starting to decay. I should have dealt with this earlier. I called several tree services and three came, gave me a bid only to walk off the job because the trees were rotting and more than half had hollow trunks. Tony from Acampo showed up, gave me a very competitive bid, showed up to do the work on time and then walked off the job due to trees being too dangerous. But unlike the other companies, he offered me the only other option; to hire a crane, do traffic control (because the only place the crane could work from would be on the busy road next to our house). Of course it was a lot more expensive but what choice did I have? So I accepted and after taking care of the permit for traffic control, reserving the crane and getting the crew together, Tony stated work on time, 30 days later. I was there when the crew showed up; I told my wife that these guys were obviously confident, professional and they all knew their jobs and acted like a well-oiled machine. Everything went according to plan. They started at 6:30 am and soon the crane was lifting sections of trees that were as big as a bus and weighed over a ton carefully over my other trees and fence to the road surface where some of the crew cut it into sections that were fed into the chipper. 4 hours later the clean up was underway. It was a dangerous project. Tony complied quickly when I asked that me and my property be named as an additional insureds on the Acampo Insurance policy and when I asked for confirmation that the crane operator was insured and that all of the crew were covered by worker's compensation insurance. When it was over, I breathed a sigh of relief. The job was handled professionally, no one was hurt and my property was not damaged. Tony had warned me that due the deterioration of the trees, several things could go wrong but his crew was on its toes the whole time and everything was handled well. I have already asked Tony to give me a bid to reduce several other trees on the lot before they reach the same level of deterioration. From the beginning he treated me fairly and I am confident that he will do so again. Based on my experience, I am heartily recommending Acampo to anyone who needs expert tree service regardless of how big or small the job is. Nelson Barry San Francisco June 21, 2023

    In January 2023 we had 3 large trees go down in all the storms. We had Acampo out and they quoted…read moreus over $100,000 to remove 3 trees. That's not a typo. Over $100,000. We got quotes from a few other companies and ended up getting all the trees removed for around $20,000 (still a ton of money). I'm well aware of the reality of 'surge pricing' but this is just inexcusable, and it makes me question the ethics of the company. Please beware of price gouging, especially during/after storms, and get several bids.

    Carlos was a pleasure to work with. He met me in the…read moreevening outside of his normal work hours for a quote which I appreciated very much. He's very knowledgeable about trees and I learned as well about the types of trees I didn't know I had. They are busy and so the turnaround time for a quote took a bit longer than I expected but nothing a couple of reminder texts and patience couldn't fix. The quote was professionally done and itemized by tree and quantity. They are licensed and bonded. I verified myself. You just never know, accidents happen. The crew was punctual and by 730am they started. By 1230pm the job was done (including clean up). Carlos texted me progress photos throughout the day which I appreciated greatly. As they trimmed the trees, he let me know another tree was dying bc it was hidden at the time of when we did the quote. Understandable since we met in the evening so it was starting to get dark and towards the end we used the flashlight on our phones to see. He gave me a couple options on how to proceed with the dying tree. He also noticed that my gutters were full of leaves and clogging my drain which he cleaned. I appreciated that very much. Communication is key and Carlos's communication was as I would expect from a professional - Excellent. For payment, I really liked that he said I could go check out the work first to ensure I was happy with the work before payment. I went out to the property two days later. I was very impressed on how nice my backyard looked! My trees were in need of a serious trim. He took payment over the phone. Note there is a fee for using credit card if you choose that method. In a heartbeat I would choose Santana Tree Trimming again!

    I contacted them, and they responded to my message to send some pictures. I sent 3 photos and never…read moreheard back from them. I chose Santanas because of 5 star reviews. For me, no response back should be zero star.
