Oscar's Tree service ran their truck onto our sidewalk concrete and created a 4-5" deep crater. They refused to take responsibility even when we provided video and photo proof. They claimed there were cracks on the concrete before and therefore it's "damaged". It's quite different between a concrete with a few cracks vs a concrete with a tripping hazard crater. If you want an honorable company that will back their work, go somewhere else. read more

Sales rep came to the door, said "they were in the neighborhood." He gave me a reasonable estimate for tidying up a large camphor and we set an appointment for the next day. The next day (Saturday) the sales rep let me know they couldn't come. We set an appointment for Monday with arrival between 8 AM and noon. At 12:15 PM, not having heard from anyone, I called the rep and he said he would contact his manager. At 1:19 PM I got a text (presumably from a manager) saying they would arrive within an hour or so. At 2:30 I called the sales rep and said that if the crew didn't arrive by 3:00 they should cancel the job. It's now 3:20 and nobody has shown up or called in the last 50 minutes. I've been on the hook waiting for them for 7 hours. Very disappointing! read more

"Oscar's Tree Service" is truly experts, they did a great job! fast, good price, courteous and respectful of their surroundings! what more could we ask for! indeed a pleasure working with this company.

We had a tree branch come down, no damage, from our 80 foot tall cedar tree, while on vacation. I called Oscar when we arrived and saw branch and he came out the SAME evening around 6 to assess and recommend. We had him do work previously in 2017, and were pleased then. Fair prices and great work He and his crew came out the next day, following completion of a job, and took care of the problem and trimmed the entire huge tree beautifully. They were there early, by 8, and finished by 1. Great clean up and work. Definitely the guy to guy in the Willow Glen or greater San Jose area. I highly recommend! read more

We had a beautiful 60 ft tall Pine Cheddar tree, but it was causing problems. I searched and short listed three tree service guys. Oscar - in the very first meeting impressed me and my neighbor. He provided all details, how it needs to be done, he took care of PG&E, ground services and ground cable service. Within two days his crew removed the tree, very professional and very nice team. Highly recommend him. read more

3 years ago Oscar's Tree Service took out a huge sick oak tree. They did a good job at a reasonable price so I called them again 2 weeks ago for tree trimming . They answered right away but didn't show up. A week later Oscar messaged me to say he was sorry for the missed appointment and we rescheduled for the next day. Guess who didn't show up again. As a returning customer I would expect to be treated better. I even gave him a second chance. Boy do I feel dumb. No more Oscar's Tree Service! read more

We had a plum tree die and it was about to fall into the fence. We called 3 companies for estimates. All seemed professional and experienced, but Oscar stood out as being especially straightforward, honest and ethical. His estimate was very fair. He was conscientious about communication; he arrived on time for both the estimate and the subsequent job. He and his team were prompt, efficient, considerate and responsible. If I need tree work done in the future, I will definitely call him! read more

They know what they're doing... great value. They came to the house for a free estimate. As soon as we said, Yes! they were there the next day. read more

we have two dozen Italian cypress trees in our back yard. For several years Oscar has been the one to trim, shape and tie the trees to create a beautiful wall in or back yard. i am impressed that he is always prompt, offering great advice and has a professional crew that does great work. His fees are competitive and I would not consider using another contractor. read more

We needed a large tree removed and some trimming and pruning done on other trees in the yard. The large tree was sitting on the line between my neighbor's and my house, and if handled poorly, could have caused significant damage to either house or the fence below. Oscar and his team did an amazing job of managing the cutting and the trimming, grinding the stump and removing all of the debris. My neighbor was enthusiastic in his positive comments about what a great job Oscar did. Ten out of five - would definitely use again and recommend highly! read more

I got an estimate back in October for a tree removal, stump grinding, and root removal for a tree in my front yard that may be causing problems in the sewer line. I was impressed by Oscar right away and his depth of knowledge. He helped me brainstorm some ideas as to what to do to replace the function of this tree that was giving us some coverage from the street. Oscar also gave me some tips for my search for trees if I wanted to put another tree in its place. Post Holiday craziness and realizing that this tree was also clogging up my gutters, I called Oscar and asked if his estimate was still valid. He said it was and scheduled me right away. While it was hard to find a window of time due to the sporadic rain we have been having lately and my kids' complicated schedule, Oscar was able to work around my schedule. The crew worked quickly and efficiently. The stump and the roots had to be removed piece by piece (combo of manual and electrical equipments). 3 hours later, the tree, stump, and roots are all gone, hardly a trace of the tree that was there earlier. The crew cleaned up very nicely, covering the drain with a big piece of cloth and blowing the leaves onto the cloth. I already told my dad that I know a great crew for future tree issues at his home. My dad will certainly be calling them in the near future. read more

Had a cat stuck in a tree far away from the city and suburbs. Oscar and his team responded promptly and professionally. This company is highly recommended and an Orange kitty is now very, very happy!! Thank you Oscar!! read more

Oscar's Expert Tree Service - Landscaping Near Me - San Jose, California

I am very pleased to have Oscar's team trimmed my trees. I have a huge two story high ash tree and three white birches that needs major trimming. Oscar's team gave me copy of their license, work insurance and property insurance. They arrived around 7:30am and started promptly. The trees are shaped beautifully and they gave me advices of what's best for the trees. They also cleaned up very nicely and cleaned up my neighbor's yard as well. I will definitely recommend them! read more

My neighbor used them to trim the part of the big pepper tree in the back of my yard, that extends into their yard. I did get another quote, but Oscar's was more reasonable, and a 3rd place I called, didn't even call back. I liked that it's Oscar I talked to on the phone. Oscar came out and did the estimate. He scheduled the date, he showed up that morning to make sure we were on the same page in terms of the work, and after his crew was done, he came back at the end of the day to make sure we were happy. They did exactly what they said they'd do, a very nice job. One reason why I used them after my neighbor used them, is that they cleaned up when they were done. Similarly, they cleaned up for trimming in my yard when they were done too. The guy *cares* about doing a good job. His prices are quite reasonable, and his people do good work. I have a few more trees I'll get him to come out and trim next year. Great guy and service! read more

Wow! A neighbor's huge oak tree fell on my roof. These guys were there within an hour! I've experienced shoddy tree service before, but this team was a well-oiled machine. Each person knew exactly what to do, they were extremely organized, and they were efficient. They finished the job in total within 8 hours, and there was a lot of tree with which to handle. I would highly recommend Oscar's Expert Tree Service in a heartbeat!!! read more

Didn't get to use their services but the person I spoke with is one of the most honest guys I've spoken with. I got a letter from the City about street trees that needed pruning, so I called Oscar's based on their stellar ratings. When I mentioned the letter from the city and started describing the trees, he stopped me and said that I would probably be better off letting the city do it and charge me, since it would most likely be less than what he would charge, sight unseen. Someone who willingly passed up a potential job because the customer would save money by not using them? That's business integrity right there. When I do need tree work that's not mandated by the city, I will definitely be calling these folks. read more

Oscar and his crew did a fantastic job. This was the 2nd time we called him to trim our huge cypress tree. His quote was very reasonable. They were very professional and got the job done right! He and his team took only a few hours to trim and clean the entire area. Oscar made sure that we were satisfied with everything before finishing. I will definitely call him again and definitely recommend them to others! read more

Not good. More of a butch job on the trees Hacked off an oleander tree without trimming it nicely. Just left it looks terrible And no response when I complained BTY. overpriced ! read more

Oscar is such a great guy to work with. He has trimmed my Palm, Magnolia, Olive, and Pine Trees for our large residential property over the past 10 years. He is hard working, professional, and best of all, trustworthy. recommend Oscars Expert Trees Service for all if your arborist needs. read more

We were looking to have the eucalyptus tree in our front yard removed. It was dying and just an eye sore. Called out a few tree companies who gave us pretty reasonable rates. We decided to call one more company before making up our mind so we called Oscar's tree service. Juan came out the same day and gave us an even more competitive quote. He even provided us with a copy of the company's license and insurance information with our quote. It was a no brainer - once we got our permit from the City of San Jose, I called Juan right away and he came out with his crew that weekend. Juan and his crew showed up early for the appt and was nearly done by noon. We were so impressed with their expertise and efficiency. they use precaution in taking down the tree and you can see they've been doing this for a long time! They were done by 2pm that afternoon. The other tree companies told us it would take them a full day, maybe even 2 days to get the job done. Not Juan and his crew! Thank you Juan! We do not miss our tree one bit. If you need any tree work done, give these guys a call. You won't be disappointed! I knocked them down 2 stars as the guys broke my sprinkler pipe when removing my tree stump. I had water spraying onto my sidewalk and running down the street! I called them to tell them about the issue and I never got a response!! read more

After my failed attempt to contact another highly rated tree trimmer I decided to contact Oscar's Expert Tree Service to trim and shape a single birch tree. I reached Oscar that evening and asked him if he did small jobs and he responded positively with the stipulation that there was a $175 minimum. I gave him the go ahead and we setup an appointment for 12:00 on a Tuesday. He called Tuesday at about 11:30 to tell me that he was running behind and that he would be there at 1:00. Sure enough he was true to his word. The job was done quickly. Oscar asked me if it was to my liking and then they cleaned up. All done within 45 minutes. Insured and registered with the California State License Board (www.cslb.ca.gov) and a certified arborist. All this and a real nice guy too. Recommended. read more

Have used these guys twice. One for a tree trim and another for tree removal. The tree trim was great but the removal was sloppy. They didn't finish the job in my opinion in removing the roots remains after grinding down the roots and left a mess. I called twice to have the remains removed with the 2nd call offering to pay more for removal of the remains and no call back which is pretty weak in my opinion. I like their crew but their cleanup is sub par! read more

Oscar's Expert Tree Service - Unfinished work - Landscaping Near Me - San Jose, California

Made an appointment with Oscar a week ago and he never made it. I called the day of the appointment and he said he didn't write it down. Bad business practice. read more

Guys did a great job, showed up on time and finished on time. They cleaned up nicely all around including the neighbors yards. Job looks great, trees are more airy now and safer above my two story house (they trimmed three Oak trees). I later hired them to do the gutters, and they did a meticulous and careful work there as well. I took off 1 star because we had a mixup with the neighbors, the crew went in there unannounced to prevent large branches from hitting the neighbor's patio but the problem was resolved. All in all I'm very happy, these guys care about the work they do and I'll definitely use them for my next tree trim. read more

Oscar's Expert Tree Service was an excellent choice for our work. We had three tall pine trees and a few other trees on our property that we needed trimmed back. Oscar came to do an estimate, arriving as promised on-time and provided an estimate on site. He also provided copies of his certifications, insurance and contractor's license - all up to date and conveniently in a folder to go with the quote. The team arrived on-time and finished the job to our satisfaction, cleaning up all areas of their work completely. I highly recommend giving Oscar a chance to estimate your job - we were happy with the choice. read more

I needed a very large dead pine treen removed from my back yard. I contacted several different companies reviewed on Yelp for estimates. Oscar was the only one that gave me a written itemized estimate. His price was also a lot more reasonable than others that I had contacted. He and his crew were on time, preformed the work in a very careful and professional manner and cleaned up my yard better than it was when they got there. I would recommend them to anyone needing tree service. read more

So Oscar came by this morning and I was in the shower! He waited for me for 30 minutes, apologized for what happened as his new employee did not know what he was doing He climbed my tree and looked over all and said tree is fine, should not have recommended for tree service and he tried to give me back my check! I told him it was not about the money and for him to keep it and I will rewrite my Yelp review I guess every small business have their challenges and at least he cared enough to try to make this issue right! Give them a try as their work appears to be ok Thanks read more

This past February I looked out at the yard and realized the fruit trees needed pruning pretty much immediately. It'd been a few years since I last had it done, and our trees are numerous and large. His crew worked on our plum, almond, ginormous fig, and two-story apricot. Oscar came out and gave me a very fair estimate. For extra, I could've had him take away the debris, but I don't mind having the city pick up our yard waste. He was able to get his crew out just a week or so later. The trees had at least six to eight feet removed to bring them back to manageable height, and they've been growing out for almost four months now. They look great, and I'm still going to get a good harvest from the apricot and fig despite the big pruning. I'm really impressed with what look like strategic cuts, allowing the trees to fill out to a beautiful, healthy shape. Oscar's crew also did a great job of cleaning up and taking everything out to the street. They even cut the large branches further down to a size the city's hauler can easily handle. The pile at the end of my driveway was as neat as an SUV-sized mound of hacked up trees can be. In short, Oscar's Expert Tree Service came out quickly and did a great job. I'll definitely use them again. read more

I was extremely happy to have hired Oscars Expert Tree Service to trim 2 huge 40 ft tall eucalyptus trees. Oscar came to my home to provide a very reasonable quote for the job at our scheduled appointment time. We agreed on a date and time and his 3 man crew showed on time which I really appreciate. His crew were very respectful, hardworking and 100% professional. They worked very safely, quickly and cleaned up all debris and left my property cleaner than when they arrived! I highly recommend this company! I will definitely hire Oscar's Expert Tree Service again as I have a huge Peppertree on my property I need to trim in a couple of months. Excellent work at a reasonable price!!! read more

Fast, professional, & thorough cleanup - they pruned & tidied up a very large old oak tree. The crew started the afternoon after I got the estimate which was awesome - I didn't expect them to be available so soon. They finished up the work the following day, even cleaning up the neighbor's roof under the tree. read more

Oscar's Tree Service was very professional. He was very knowledgeable and gave a fair estimate to have oak, palm, and pine trees trimmed and/or thinned out. He was punctual and his crew did an excellent job. His crew removed and cleaned up all the branches and palm fronds. I would recommend Oscar's Expert Tree Service. They did a great job! read more

We have 3 large redwood trees plus other assorted trees in our yard. We have had Oscar's trim our trees and remove some old large bushes. They have some great workers who can climb the trees (these are big redwoods) and thin the branches out. We liked them so much that we have had them out twice as well as having them do some work for my mother-in-law. Nice people and the trees look great. read more

I left a message for Oscar late on Sunday afternoon, as a very large apple tree in my back-yard lost a branch on my patio, crushing my patio table, umbrella, etc. He called me back within the hour, and after discussing it we determined that the situation was not urgent, and that I could save money if this could wait until Monday morning. Oscar and his team arrived first thing on Monday morning as promised. We discussed the job, (both cleaning up the fallen branch and giving the tree a good trim) he gave me a very reasonable price, and they went to work. Within 2 hours the job was done. They cleaned everything up! Really cleaned it up! No branches, twigs, leaves, or even fallen apples! They also helped me put back all the surviving furniture and pots back on the patio. Great Service - Thank you Oscar and team! read more

After using many different "tree guys" over the years, with mixed results, I think that we have finally found our "go to" outfit for tree maintenance. Oscar's did a fantastic job pruning our 50 ft tall Italian Cypress trees, which were out of control and badly in need of a topping. Oscar's is fast, friendly, efficient, and they know their stuff. They even included the palm tree trimming as part of the job. These guys climbed these 50 ft tall cypress trees, and I knew right away that they knew what they were doing! I was impressed when Bob told me that they had cleaned all the debris out of my neighbor's yard, without me even having to ask them to do it! Bob is the crew chief, and he did a very good job of keeping us informed of the progress of the job. I highly recommend Oscar's Tree Service. read more

I called Oscar for a quote. He came out and gave me his estimate for his tree trimming service. His price was competitive with the other quotes I received. He and his crew showed up on time, did a great job and cleaned up when finished. Total professionalism. read more

Oscar and his crew did an excellent job for us! We had a fruitless mulberry that had grown too big for our yard. My husband called him and Oscar showed up the same day to give us a quote. He arrived on time and immediately gave us a binder with copies of his workers comp coverage, his CA license, and a copy of his Certified Arborist certificate. Oscar and his team show up at promptly on the scheduled day and put his crew into motion immediately. His crew definitely knew what they were doing. They were very efficient and quick. They started at 9:30am and had vacated our property by 1pm. I was amazed not only at the speed of their work, but also their efficiency and attention to detail to get the job done right. Once the tree was out, they did an excellent job cleaning up the yard and blowing out our gutters as well as our adjacent neighbor's gutter who was affected by the leaves blowing in all directions. Very impressive and considerate! I was so grateful they did not leave that mess for me to clean up! I truly thought they would just finish and walk off the job. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a tree removal service. They are excellent and a credit to their profession. read more

I have two European Birch trees in my front yard that I planted 20 years ago. They are magnificent and I love them. Through the years I have them trimmed and went with the least expensive bid. I was never completely satisfied with the work. I had Oscar come to my home and saw a thoughtful and courteous man and one who had a lot of knowledge. He was wasn't the cheapest, however, I am 100% satisfied with the job. He will work with you. My trees were trimmed by people who are trained by an arborist. Thank you Oscar. read more

Oscar is awesome!! Highly recommend his service!! Came over on a Saturday gave me quote for a tree that had fallen, came on Sunday and cut the tree up, cleaned up the yard and the roofs for both houses. Excellent job. Came over to my other house, give me a quote, trimmed both trees and cleaned up. My neighbors told it was a awesome job. read more
