Thanks for the great recommendation, Yelpers!! Jerry, the owner, answered the phone himself and had an estimate to me before the end of the day and then completed the job beautifully the following day. Our private property trees needed to be cleared for the HOA to do painting. He trimmed just enough and made the shapes even better. I actually recommended him to our HOA's Landscape Committee! read more

Jerry was extremely responsive to my urgent request to remove a tree that fell down due to the high winds on March 14. He provided a competitive quote and offered to do the job the next day. I would definitely use Jerry's firm for future tree work. read more

Jerry is fantastic! We have used him for regular pruning and emergency work. During regular pruning, he recommended that we remove a branch that extended way over our house. I honestly had not even noticed it, but he could spot weakness in the branch and a risk of it falling on the roof. So glad we had that removed before the recent storms! That was a great catch! We recently lost a large branch due to splitting. It fortunately fell across the driveway and not across the house! I called Jerry and he was out within hours to remove the branch (so we could get our cars out) and to clean up the tree. I highly recommend Payne Tree Care. You get very knowledgable care and incredible service. Jerry is also a really nice guy to work with! read more

A huge 40+ foot tree fell on my garage and neighbors house 2 days ago during the storm. I called Jerry and they were at my house within an hour and gave a great estimate for the job. They were working in no time and finished the job by the next day. Great guys and I highly recommend them. Many thanks for a hard job well done! read more

Jerry was courteous and prompt, had good suggestions without being pushy. He was there the whole time with his crew. He and his crew did a great job on several magnificent maples and other trees in our yard. His team had a good balance in shaping the trees naturally without over or under trimming. And he also gave my daughter's car a jump when her battery died in our driveway! read more

Quick response, quick service. I had a tree I wanted taken down quickly and they were able to come help me quickly.

Jerry is extremely professional, friendly, and makes great suggestions on tree care. We have a very special old growth Japanese Maple and he was expert in helping take care of it. He is responsive and reasonably priced. We will be using him exclusively going forward. read more

Jerry and his team were amazing! We had several large pepper trees that needed to be aggressively trimmed because the branches were touching/ over our roof. Jerry came by to chat and described all of the steps in detail. Not only did he consider what the trees will look right after the trimming, he also considered how the tree will grow and look years from now. He was professional and incredibly knowledgeable. The team came by a few days later and worked on our trees. They look so much better after. We also had them cut down a small privet tree in the back that was shedding into the pool. They were efficient and worked non stop until all the work was complete. The team also cleaned up EVERYTHING. While they were on the roof, they even cleaned the gutter and got rid of all of the debris in the pool! Incredible service!!! We'll definitely be calling Jerry with our future tree care needs! read more

Payne Tree Care - No more branches over the roof! - Tree Services Near Me

Very responsive over text, low quote, efficient work. Thank you!

Overall really good experience. Jerry came over, discussed the work, made some good suggestions and gave me an estimate. The work was not major - I needed several trees on my property trimmed. He followed up a few days later - did all the work we agreed on, a couple of minor extras as well, cleaned up everything nicely before he left. Really pleasant and professional experience, would certainly use them again. read more

Charged about 900$ to trim 6 trees in our backyard - a couple of them all bald so they don't block our solar panels. Came on time and did a clean and complete job after checking with us on how much of a trim to provide on each of the trees. True professional experience, worth the slightly higher cost than another place we got a quote from. Highly recommend for simple tree service. read more

The owner came out 20 minutes after I called, and was on-site the next morning to cleanly trim two trees. His crew avoided damaging the many the nearby plants. read more

I have used Payne tree care for years and even after moving away he continues to check on my in laws and make sure that their trees are well kept. Mr Payne is always on site and listens to what the customer wants as well as consider what is best for the tree with upfront pricing and honest work no upsells or extra fees. read more

After years of neglect, I called Jerry to get an estimate for a front & back yard clean up. Being that he was in my neighborhood, I was able to meet him in just a couple of hours. Jerry was on time and friendly from the start. Even tried to recruit my son to play football for his team. :). Jerry had a very similar vision to mine, so it was not difficult to communicate my requests to him. His rate was not the cheapest quote I received, however, his company is insured, I could communicate with him perfectly, and he was able to bring 3 other men out do help get the work done. I had over growing shrubs, trees to be trimmed, and lots of ivy & weed to be pulled. His quote also included hauling away all the trimmings. I was able to schedule the work to be done for that very same week of getting a quote. Jerry & team arrived 15 min. ahead of schedule and went straight to work after greeting my husband and getting the power tools plugged in. Along the way, any major concerns were addressed with me to make sure I was the one making the final decisions. There was great communication through out and any of my requests for redo was also done. Since the team was ahead of schedule, Jerry even offered to do what was not originally put on the order. I was very happy that he was willing to go above & beyond what was called for. There was so much to be done and amazingly, the team completed the work well under the estimated time of completion. Through it all, the team was friendly and professional. The rate was exactly as promised, and not a penny was paid till the end and I was happy with the results. Jerry was great to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend him & to call him back for future maintenance. read more

We called Jerry yesterday and he came by within the hour to give us a bid on trimming our trees. He gave us a very reasonable bid and made an appointment for the next morning. He came on time. Jerry did a very efficient and professional job in a very timely manner. Jerry was very nice and the kind of person we like to work with. We would definitely recommend Jerry Payne to anyone needing this type of work. read more

Jerry was very responsive and professional. Good communication and great work. He listened and understood exactly what I needed done to my apple tree and bougainvillea. He and the crew were on time and completed the job quickly. And hauled away all the yard waste. He even gave me some advice for a tree the HOA is responsible for. Thanks so much Jerry. read more

Jerry was nice and responsible and his team was great and efficient. I'll definitely work with them in the future.

I called Jerry based on the Yelp reviews two weeks ago to get a quote on removing a dead birch tree and trimming three other trees (Chinese Elm, Japanese Maple, and Ficus). I had a dead Ash tree removed earlier this year by another contractor and the price I paid for that one removal was half of what I paid for all the services Jerry and his crew provided for me. Any homeowner's biggest nightmare is having your tree butchered so that you feel that you're getting a lot for what you paid for. What's more difficult is having the pruning and thinning done correctly so that you know that your tree was treated well. That's what Jerry and his crew provides. read more

Helpful even though I was calling about a service he did not provide. Referred me to the right resource. Will hire for tree service next time based on this kind of service philosophy. read more

The company is a local team of tree experts, and trimmers. I always get exceptional performance and expertise. There work cannot be beat and their prices are very reasonable. I would not even consider anyone else at this point, as I know exactly what I will get and how it will turn out. Thanks guys, keep up the good work. read more

We had two trees trimmed in our front yard, and three small trees and a stump removed in the back. Jerry was friendly and right on time both for the estimate and the work day. They got the agreed upon work done quickly, a little over an hour and they were already packing up. $500 for the lot including hauling of some extra debris (branches/brush) that was under the trees to be removed. read more

We had a few large unruly trees in our backyard. They responded to my request immediately and were easy to work with on scheduling. Service was friendly and trees looked great afterwards. Best part got a great price! read more

We planted a little crepe myrtle tree 9 years ago and it had never been pruned. I was noticing that it wasn't blooming as well as our neighbors trees and it was also forming this white powder on the leaves/buds. I found out that these trees need to be pruned and thinned out so they can breath. I called around and found Jerry to be the perfect person to help us. He was at our house the next morning to take a look at the job and the day after that he came and pruned the tree. Super fast service!!! He also gave me a great price and his crew did a super job with their clean up afterwards. I would highly recommend Jerry for any large or small job. That was another thing that was really special, he does big pruning jobs in shopping centers and for some people my job would seem too small or a waste of their time, but not Jerry. He gave me top notch customer service as if I had a dozen trees to prune. Thanks Jerry! read more

Payne Tree Care - Tree Services Near Me

Jerry is the best! He has trimmed my Magnolia in our front yard (it's huge) twice now. Both times he did a fantastic job. This last time I called him was because a branch was breaking and would have hit our porch and roof if it fell. He came out in less than 30 min, had the job done, and hauled it all away in less than a few hours. Great service, and he's a super nice guy on top. Will definitely call him for all my tree needs, and would recommend him 100%. Thanks, Jerry! read more

We hired Jerry to trim an overgrown maple in our condo patio. He is professional, personable, and extremely responsive via Yelp, phone, text, etc. We met to discuss the tree and he was able to take care of it the same day. Everything was done and cleaned up in less than an hour. We intend to be repeat customers when the tree needs sprucing up again! read more

Wow! Jerry is a tree artist! He shaped our ugly and overgrown tree into a masterpiece! Jerry gave me a great price, arrived on time, cleaned up the whole area and did a wonderful job. Jerry and his crew were all very friendly and easy to work with. He texted me with his exact arrival time and then showed up at that time! I really could not be happier with the service from start to finish! read more

Jerry responded quickly to my request to cut back a tree that was overgrowing my roof and was able to come by to give an estimate. Jerry was able to come out the following morning to cut it back so that it cleared the roof and fence. He was great to interact with and worked efficiently. He even spoke to my neighbor to trim the part that was on their property so that the tree would be trimmed in a balanced way. Very happy with the experience! read more

I used Jerry after shopping around the neighborhood. I called a few places and got some astronomical quotes. Jerry was the lowest quote by half! He came with two workers promptly trimming my huge tree in the front yard, REMOVING the hideous juniper bush, and tastefully chopped the neighbors pesky tree from over my pool within an hour! I was so impressed and pleased! He's a great guy and has a great friendly and professional team. He's definitely got our business every time! read more

I can't say enough good things about Jerry and his team. He's responsive, fair, honest, friendly, and know what he's doing! We've had him do projects for us for years and just had him help us out at our new house. He collaborated with us on exactly what we wanted, was very professional, and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. I would recommend him to anyone who needs professional work at a fair price. read more

Best and most reliable tree service in Sunnyvale. Jerry is a man of his word and super friendly. I have used his services for 2-3 years now and I am a loyal customer. read more

I hired them to trim a tree in my backyard. While trimming a large branch, they cut a large part of it in one go and let the entire branch fall on the plants below. I was planning to remove those plants anyway, but they never asked me if this was ok. They could have cut smaller chunks and not damage the trees below. I did not raise this problem with them and decided to let it go. I further saw that there were a lot of wood chippings from the branches that were still lying in the backyard. They blew them to one side, but did not pick them up. I decided to let that go as well. But then later in the evening I saw that they left some of the tree leaves and small branches in my yard waste bin. The contract explicitly stated that it included hauling all the debris. I have no idea why they would seem it was appropriate to put some of the debris in my own bin. I emailed them about this, and no reply. I expected better from a licensed tree removal service. read more

Jerry is a great guy and provided great, timely service. He even offered to dispose of some extra yard waste for me. I would highly recommend Payne Tree Service. read more

Jerry trimmed my three trees last year. Great value, quick response, very good service. Would recommend him to anyone.

I highly recommend Jerry Payne Tree Service. Jerry called almost immediately after I requested a quote on Yelp. He was friendly, knowledgeable and understood the problem we were having with a HUGE Chinese Elm tree near our pool which sheds about a foot of leaves every fall. Jerry has been in the business for 30 years and really knows how to shape and clean up huge trees. The job was done quickly, efficiently, the tree looks great and our neighbors are also happy with the results as they wanted some shade left in their yard from the tree. Thank you Jerry and crew.

The trees and brush in my backyard had grown out of control and I wanted everything removed. I called up Jerry and he was able to stop by my place within the hour to evaluate the situation. He was upfront about what he could do and what would need to get done by someone else (stumping). He gave me an exact price which I thought was good for the amount of work and headache it would cause me to take care of it myself. After our initial meeting, he called me within a week with a time to do the work. He showed up on-time with a couple other workers and immediately got to work. They were quick, cleaned up well after the removal had been done. He even provided a reference for somebody to take care of the stumps. If I ever need tree/removal service in the future, I would definitely give Jerry my business! read more

Update: we went ahead and they did a fantastic job with our two huge trees. Highly recommend!

We needed to get two tree cut down in our back yard and decided to call Payne. Jerry Payne arrived around half an hour later, gave us a great estimate and returned a week later to do the job. They actually arrived early, did the job quickly and cleanly. We will definitely use him again! read more

Our experience began like many others, in that Jerry was working at our neighbor's house. I went next door, apologizing for the interruption and the business owner; Jerry, could not have been nicer. He came by and gave me a very reasonable price for what we wanted done, (overgrown trees trimmed, bushes shaped), and let me know that he could do it that same day! The work was completed and Jerry cleaned up behind himself, leaving no mess behind. Our yard looks terrific and we already have a future job lined up for him. read more
