Erick was probably my 3rd or 4th contractor i had out to look at my situation. I had 2 trees that were hanging over a busy street, hanging over my house, and covered with ivy/misletoe. I also had about 100' of oleander that was overgrown and needed to be trimmed down. Without knowing much about trees its hard to know what needs to be done other than my trees look bad and i have bunch of branches hanging over a busy street which makes me nervous... the other guys who came over were asking me what I needed. Erick pretty much told me what I needed. Most importantly though, Erick noticed one major trunk branch that was hollowed out and deteriorated. This same trunk line was hanging over the street. After looking at it, it was pretty obvious and I don't know how the other guys didn't notice that so it really spoke to his thoroughness. After pointing out a few other items I needed, it was obvious Erick was the most knowledgeable and qualified person to work on my trees. Erick's crew came on 2 separate occasions and quickly finished the job. After each visit, you would never know they were even there because they cleaned up so well. Personally, if i need any more tree service Erick will be the only person I'll call moving forward. I would have no qualms recommending him to anyone i know. read more

Did a great job with our palm trees at a very reasonable price. left the yard cleaner than before!

Professional, fast and reasonable pricing. The entire process was smooth, efficient and safe from the get go. The top of our neighbor's 100 foot redwood tree snapped off and pierced thru the roof of our garage during the windstorm. After request for estimate the night before, I got a call within 5 minutes and confirmation that someone would be coming over first thing in the morning. They came right on time for the estimate, gave me the best pricing (had two other estimates) and were able to get to work right away. The work was done within an hour and a half and they cleaned up everything really well. Thank you Romans for handling this stressful situation professionally, safely and quickly! read more

I put a bid out to 5 different tree trimming companies. As far as price goes, they're not the lowest cost option, but they're also not the highest. In terms of value, they came across as being the most professional. They opened up a view for us that's easily worth what we paid for the service. A tip if you work with Roman's: if you're like me and prefer to mark the trees you want to remove with ribbons/flags/paint, be sure to do that before the bid. During our initial walk through a few weeks before the job, I pointed at parts of the property and said "lets clear all the small stuff out and clean it up". The day before the crew showed up I walked around the property and marked "the small stuff" with ribbon so they could cut it down. My definition of "small stuff" was 4"-6" or smaller trees, which I based on my experience cutting trees in Indiana. Erick informed me in earnest towards the middle of the job that a 6-4" diameter tree is pretty big and what I was really asking for is to clear cut a few of the areas. Doh! it didn't help that I marked a few more to take down after they cleared away some of the brush on the first day. We walked around the property and prioritized the rest of the work. We were both a bit worried--he wanted to get his crew our of there in the four allotted days and have happy customer and I wanted to finish the work. How did it end? Fortunately for both of us the crew was able to finish in the allotted 4 days and the results look great. I'll be recommending them to neighbors and others who ask who took care of our trees. read more

Romans recently trimmed our 8 beautiful redwood trees and did a wonderful job. They were on time and very professional. They previously trimmed our trees in 2014. This time they did a light trim on our 125 ft trees. They cleaned everything up afterwards. We highly recommend Romans! read more

I can't say enough great things about Romans. Very professional and efficient! In particular Eric and Kathy made it so much easier.

I posted my review in 3/2022 and somehow the company had it removed. This tree company cut my oak/redwood trees without my permission. They accessed them from the neighbors' property and took way too much down when the oak trees were NOT dormant. Two other companies had refused to cut them without my permission while it was hot, so the neighbor got Romans to do it. I came home to find their crew sitting on my property. I talked to Erik or somebody from Romans and he said he only cut a small amount but my tree trimmers came by and said it was more like 20 or 25% of my oak tree. Somehow this company has gotten 2 one star reviews removed from Yelp. How is this possible? read more

I highly recommend Romans Tree Service for all your tree trimming needs. Eric provided an excellent quote for the job and Kathy and Americas were efficient in scheduling the task. Today, Mr. Jose and his team of three other professionals came on-site to work on the tree trimmings. I was deeply impressed with their work as they were efficient, dedicated, responsible, and trustworthy. They completed all the quoted tasks and left the area impeccably clean. The whole team was fantastic and undoubtedly the best! read more

Excellent customer service and work. We have had Roman's Tree Care come to top the oak trees on the back hill of our rental house in Orinda at least 4 times over the past several years, for the view. They also removed a large dead oak on the same hill. They are very reasonable for the large jobs, especially because all the work has been on the steep hill with a narrow windy road below (typical Orinda road). Erick shows up on time for the estimate appointments, is very knowledgeable and polite. The communication to confirm the estimate appointment, the job date, and any questions is excellent. Professional quotes and invoices are promptly emailed. read more

Really knowledgeable and helpful. Appreciated their taking the time to answer all of our questions and recommend a range of strategies. Highly recommend. read more

We had Romans Tree Service crew this week trimming huge cedar and magnolia trees in front of our house. The crew were masked, courteous and worked diligently throughout the day asking us to check their progress and make sure we were happy with the results. The trees look beautiful; are now airy and symmetrical. The crew cleaned up all the debris when they were done. If you have any trees that need professional trimming I suggest that you call Romans Tree Service. The arborist will come and assess your trees; give you a quote on cost. It takes a while to get on their schedule but worth the wait. Very nice work; thank you, Roman crew. read more

We hired Roman's to thin and clean out our 7 massive redwoods. They were absolutely awesome! Covered our pool and other plants, even cleaned the pool with the pool sweep after. Our trees look absolutely beautiful and so much healthier. Then we had them remove two trees from our front yard- they removed both and came back the next day to grind the stumps- our yard looks so much better thanks to their crew! We are truly appreciative and will absolutely hire them again. I would highly recommend using them- thank you so much to the Romans team!! read more

We had 3 crape myrtles and a Meyer lemon tree trimmed and Romans did a fantastic job! A crew of 4 showed up on time, were very pleasant, trimmed all trees as we wanted and did a very nice job cleaning our yard and my neighbors. Money well spent and will definitely use again. Highly recommend! read more

I had a stellar experience with Roman Tree Service from start to finish. On the day of the estimate, they managed to do a quick, time sensitive trim around the power line to my house. The estimate to trim 3 oak trees was very reasonable and I arranged to have them complete this larger job when their schedule allowed. Communication was consistent and professional throughout. The crew members that did the work were personable and professional and in the end my trees were beautiful and the property was cleaner than before they started. An excellent company all around. read more

Could not speak more highly about Roman's Tree Service. From quote, to approval, to day of service, and clean up - everything was perfect. Our yard looks so much better and ready for the new year. Super professional with online service to view the quote and make a payment. read more

I can't say enough good things about this business. I have been using them for a number of years now, and I am always impressed by the professionalism of their management and work crews. Top flight service and work product. Particular shout out to Jose, one of the foremen. He has overseen the work at my house for several years now, and is always pleasant to deal with and takes tremendous pride in his work. Just outstanding. And I want to mention Erick too, who does a lot of the estimation work among other things. Fantastic to work with and provides fair pricing. Great company. read more

We had Eric's team work on two trees. One tree needed immediate attention for safety reasons. The guys were professional, safe, pleasant, and did a great job on both trees. They cleaned everything up and we are completely satisfied with the work they completed. They even took care not to disturb some nearby nesting hawks and gave free advice on trimming tomato plants! We are already planning on hiring Roman's again for another job. read more

LOOK NO FURTHER !! Roman's went above and beyond! Took extra time to leave property clean. Punctual, courteous and professional. read more

This company is top notch! Eric listens to your landscape needs and concerns and his crew is efficient and do quality work. His quotes are reasonable and fair! We have used them multiple times with over an acre of trees and disease and drought decimating our pines. While it's not a fun cost to budget for, Eric makes it easy and painless as possible . Thanks Roman Tree Service! read more

SUPER happy with Erick and his crew! We needed to have a tall (approximately 80') pine tree removed that was leaning over our house. They were referred to us by a family friend and certainly endorsed here on Yelp. We solicited 3 bids (actually 4, but one company felt the tree was too tall for them to handle). Roman's quote was very reasonable and quite competitive. Since they were referred, we chose them to do the work. We were not disappointed. They showed up on time and went about their work efficiently. The crew was conscientious of our property and took great care not to damage the surrounding landscaping. They worked hard and seemed to enjoy their craft. In the end, they left our home spotless! They raked, blew away the sawdust and cleaned everything up leaving the place like they found it ~ except for removing the tree they came for ;-). We give Roman's our highest recommendation! read more

Roman's Tree Service just completed work at my house - removed large tree, trimmed branches from very large oak trees, and trimmed back trees along property line. They were easy to schedule and very responsive. Great discussions with Eric regarding work scope. Made sure everything was cleaned up after completion each day. Very happy with their work and would definitely recommend. read more

I had a huge oak tree come down on my hillside and take out 4 other oaks at the same time. Having to clear 5 majestic trees was incredibly challenging and costly. Our insurance policy capped the cost at $590 per tree which didn't come close to covering this. I had 3 bids done and although one was a little cheaper, we went with Eric Roman because of his professionalism. They brought a crew of 7 guys who worked efficiently to get everything cut and moved off the hill without damaging any existing landscaping. After they were done, the entire site was picked up and blowered off before they left. Incredible value and professionalism. read more

Work involved removing logs and branches from previous tree removals in my downhill open space area - almost 2 days worth of work. Smart contractor - implemented a rope pulley system to drag the logs (some of which were very big) up the hill instead of alot of chainsawing and manual hauling. Crews were great. Owner of the company (Erick) and office manager (America) were courteous and professional. Smooth interactions with Erick and America which I appreciate. I've had dealings with another tree contractor in the Orinda/Moraga area and it was a nightmare dealing with that owner. Not so with Erick and America - thank you! My only small qualm is to respond within 24 hours but I understand things can get busy in that field. Roman's is licensed and insured - great. Will use Roman's again when the need arises. read more

Roman's Tree Service is by far the best tree service around. From his friendly hard working staff to America in the office I am so happy to have found them. Top notch, Erick is a certified arborist and really takes pride in ensuring the client 100% satisfied. He shows up pre-start of project, comes back throughout the day checking on progess and checks in with the client. I have hired his company numerous times and each time has been phenomenal. Their estimates are extremely reasonable as well. Keep up the excellent customer service! read more

We used Roman's for Monterey pine removal (3 trees) as well as oak tree pruning. Franklin came and did the walk through and provided the quote. We looked at others but chose Roman's and we were thrilled. *professional *accurate with their estimated time for doing the job *cleaned up each day *courteous We needed Roman's to go in our neighbor's yard to trim as well. They were careful and clean and satisfied our neighbor too! Highly recommend! read more

Erick was very quick, intelligent, and knowledgeable. His bid was competitive and the work was done very well, quickly, and cleanup was excellent. We then added more work for a second day and this was done in similar style. Work included both tree removal and large limb pruning on several trees. Highly recommended. read more

Roman's Tree Service is our favorite pick for tree cutting/trimming needs. Erick is very communicative and has an expertise on service plans. His crew is friendly and efficient. The price is reasonable and we also like their flexible payment methods (online Apple Pay, credit card, etc.). We would definitely recommend Roman's Trees to our neighbors! read more

Roman's Tree Service has done two large jobs for me in the past few months. Even though they are quite busy, they made themselves immediately available when a tree was posing imminent danger of falling and causing damage. They are: professional, skilled, clean and tidy, respectful of neighbors and very reasonably priced. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

This team is great, highly recommend!! Received multiple quotes on a recent job and Roman's proposal was by far the most organized and professional. Detailed-oriented and very hands-on with their work. They offered several walkthroughs during and after the job to ensure everything was to our liking. Great crew and outstanding work all around!! read more

I give my highest recommendation to Romans Tree Service. I contacted and compared 4 tree service companies with top ratings on Bay Area Checkbook and Romans was the best in terms of attention to detail and price. Other companies either did not know about, or wanted to avoid having to get, an Oakland traffic obstruction permit for the work. Romans employee America called Oakland Public Works repeatedly and went down personally to Oakland Public Works to get the permit at a time when Public Works computer had been hacked and the office was often closed and permit processing was stalled. When Erick Roman initially visited my site, he developed a plan, and presented a bid that was thousands of dollars less than other companies. After I accepted the bid, Erick promptly scheduled the work, and answered the neighbor's questions about the project so things would go smoothly. The other companies were not only significantly more expensive but none of them were interested in obtaining or even helping me obtain the necessary traffic obstruction permit or in developing a good plan to do the work with minimal traffic interference. I live in the Oakland Hills on a narrow winding street and it was a big job (removing two 50-yr old Monterey Pines on a steep hillside away from the street when it was raining heavily at times). Everything was cleaned up afterwards. It was an outstanding job and cheaper than any other company I contacted -- like $3-5,000 cheaper depending on who the other company was. Thanks very much Erick read more

I need to start by saying that I did not use Romans Tree Service, so my rating is based on why I didn't use them. My realtor recommended Romans Tree Service when I closed on a house. I wanted to address several large oaks on the property for fire safety, as they were encroaching on the house. I thought Romans was extremely professional and knowledgeable when they came to provide a quote. I would've moved forward with doing business with them, but decided it'd be prudent to obtain another quote. So, I called another local business (that is licensed with workers comp and had certified arborist who came out to assess the oaks and provide the bid). The bid came in at 1/4 of the proposed price of Romans, for the exact same work. And, this is without my telling this company that I had already obtained a bid (and as such I didn't disclose what Romans bid was for the work either). While I thought I was going to go with Romans, I'm glad I shopped as I saved a ton of money that I can use for other landscaping or even two plane tickets to Europe, etc!! read more

We needed to have 2 trees removed & stump grinded & major trimming on a Chinese Elm. Erick came out & gave us a verbal estimate which was reasonable & actually slightly lower than another company we had come out. When we decided to go with them I called them to see if they had a copy of that estimate since they did not send us anything via email. America said she would check & call me back. This was Thurs & today is now Mon & nothing. I even called today & got her VM. I'm sorry but my biggest peeve is not returning call when promised. It's as if tehy did not want my business & what a disppointment based on these great Yelp reviews. So needless to say we will be going with another company since they didn't even take the time to call us back or email an invoice. It should not be that hard people! What a shame. read more

Did a great job on my trees in the Oakland Hills. They took them down very quickly, professionally, with no mess and at the price quoted. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I moved into our new house several months ago and included with the house was a very large yard and many mature trees. It was that time of the year to have the trees trimmed so we checked out Yelp and there were 3 Tree trimming companies that stood out from all others. After getting estimates from all three companies we decided on Romans. Well this past Friday they arrived at our house at that the scheduled time and Eric Roman (who gave us the estimate) also came out to lay out the work for the crews. We had about 9 mature trees trimmed and a VERY large (and long) hedge brought under control. What a fantastic job Roman Tree company did. They were VERY professional and I could not believe how clean the yard was when they left. When we met Eric Roman I told him that we were looking for a tree trimming company that will be trimming our trees year after year. We will definitely be hiring Romans next year. read more

Very professional, great estimate and assessment of work needed, explained everything thoroughly and fair price. Definitely agreeable with a few extra things asked at the last minute! Very happy with the level of customer service and would absolutely recommend them! read more

We appreciate Professionalism and it is obviously important with Erick Roman and his team. Erick was on time for the estimate appointment and gave us better pricing than two of their leading competitors. We wanted to keep the mulch, so that helped with the pricing. It took a couple of phone calls to get the appointment but America (the woman who does the scheduling) got us IN! Erick made us feel comfortable during the estimate and on the day of the job, as he is friendly, funny and most importantly professional. He supervised the workers during the whole 4-5 hours! All the guys were friendly, professional and work efficiently. We had (5) trees cut: Chinese Tallow 80ft stump removed; trimmed Redwood; cut down another redwood, cut down Black Walnut, trimmed branch of old Oak tree. All items done to perfection! No issues whatsoever! Everything went way above our expectations! The team cleaned up nicely. We have a pond and they even skimmed out the pond, which surprisingly, they didn't get much in it! Erick had us inspect everything once the job was done. We were soooo pleased!!! Our neighbors poked their head over the fence and wanted some mulch, so Erick also helped them out too! Our other neighbor now wants Ericks number!! We've used the other leading company before, who were also very professional, but the truth is that we thought the quality of Roman's Tree Service was better as well as pricing. We would not hesitate to use them again and we will recommend Roman's to our friends and family! Thanks for making this experience so EASY on us Erick! read more

Erick came to our home to give us an estimate to take down a very large, but dead, tree in our backyard. He was very kind and made some excellent suggestions when I asked about future projects in our yard. He was also a good listener! The men came yesterday (on time) and worked very hard all day. They did a great job taking down the tree. There were five men and I was very impressed by the teamwork. I noticed that they were always concerned for the safety of each other. Also, they were like good campers. They left everything better than they originally found it! Last, but not least, when I called, the office staff was also very helpful and kind! When I was looking for someone to do the job it all seemed so overwhelming, but Erick and his staff made the whole project go so smoothly! That was a relief! read more

The reviews are accurate. I got three quotes to remove a tall Monterey pine. Romans beat the other quotes but a wide margin and their work was professional and on time. And that's no small task. Our tree was both tall and dangerously leaning over our neighbor's yard. They did a masterful job. I am truly impressed. They will be my go to service. Only gripe is their response time after we accepted their quote was too slow. But I suspect they have a busy book of business. read more

Romans Tree Service is fantastic. Don't hesitate moving forward with them. Erick Roman is professional and is serious about meeting his customers needs. He and his crews do a wonderful job. Careful, clean, hard working and efficient. You won't be disappointed. Their prices are very competitive, too. I highly recommend them and I'm content with them being my exclusive tree service. We had a tricky situation involving trees affecting multiple neighboring views in Lafayette. Love Lafayette is our motto except that kind of thinking can fail quickly when a residents tree or view is involved! Erick helped address neighbors concerns prior to, and during the work to keep everybody happy. In the end it seemed to have went down well and the motto Love Lafayette remains intact. Thanks Erick and Romans Tree Service. read more

We used Roman's Tree Service for a variety of cleanup in our yard, including removing one full grown oak, trimming the dead limbs out of almost every tree on our property and working on our neighbors property to remove some overgrowth obstructing our view and limbs overhanging our property. Working with Erich and his team couldn't have been a better experience. Erich was responsive and checked in on the project multiple times throughout the day. His team was hard-working, communicative, courteous and really took extra care (including 'playing goalie' around our outside lamps to keep falling branches from hitting the light fixtures) to ensure our property was protected from the falling limbs. I would recommend them for any job, big or small, and will definitely have them back on our property the next time we need work done. read more
