Who else has uncooperative, unfriendly neighbors with massive trees that dump endless debris into…read moreyour yard and pool? Or they have branches that present a fire hazard and are close to your roof, giving animals a perfect highway to your attic? We were dealing with it all!! Armed with the city's municipal code and state case law, I researched property lines, talked to the neighbors, and called seven different tree companies. Zazueta Tree Specialists was already at the top of my list when my neighbor mentioned they had just used them and were 100% happy. That sealed the deal for me!! Carlos Zazueta--the super friendly, highly skilled owner and certified arborist--gave us a very reasonable estimate, and we excitedly scheduled our day of freedom from these invasive trees! The crew arrived at 7:30 AM sharp in a clean, professional logo truck with a serious wood chipper. After reviewing the plan to trim back five encroaching trees with Carlos and my hubby's guidance, they got straight to work. Their performance was meticulous, fast, and exacting. The crew (shoutout to Alex & Juan!) was incredibly friendly, professional and engaging When we asked. They left us with clear airspace, a spotless yard, and TOTAL PIECE OF MIND! We were so impressed with Carlos's expertise, professionalism, and customer service that we've already engaged his family's landscaping division (Zazueta Landscaping) to assess our entire front and backyard for a complete re-do. Save yourself the hours of overkill research I already did and just call them!!! You wibe so glad you did! P.S. In the "after" photo of the massive oak tree, it might look like the top branches weren't cut back entirely. Carlos explained that they always prioritize the long-term health of the tree. We got the safety and clearance we needed without harming the tree!

Daniel Soto and his crew did an excellent job removing a massive, dying walnut tree from my…read morebackyard. I initially found Daniel because I was looking for an arborist (to assess the dying tree) that also performed tree removal services. Daniel was knowledgeable, responsive, and fast with providing a quotation. A few days before the job, someone came out to cone off the street and put up parking signage in preparation for the project day. On the day of the removal, they brought both a bucket truck and a crane. The crane allowed them to lift the massive trunk straight up safely over my fence and out of my yard, which meant no fence dismantling was required (other bidders stated they may need to). The pricing was super competitive and communication with Daniel throughout was great. They handled the stump grinding, cleaned up the yard perfectly, and did me an extra favor by moving the heavy pavers that had been hidden behind the tree to another neatly tucked-away spot in my yard. A highly professional crew and licensed arborist that I will hire again.

We will definitely use West Coast Tree Care for our future pruning needs.

I called a couple other tree companies but you could feel the difference in the customer service when I talked to Jerry. Payne Tree Care lives up to its name ! Jerry gave me the fairest price but what also sold me was his character. Price is one thing but honestly is priceless. I have used this gauge on every Contractor I have worked with throughout my years and never have been disappointed. Quality of work was excellent as well as communication. This is why Payne Tree Care gets 5 Stars as well as the owner Jerry ! Kudos and looking forward to sending you more business ! Lastly... Cost: $1,450.00 to remove this huge branch, chip it up and clean the area. If you do use Payne Tree Care understand each project cost differs due to accessibility, height of trimming, removal and liabilities of possible damage of other structures during the process. I understood this but I'm giving you a tip on understanding how the contractor comes up with their bids sometimes.

Him and his team were able to get the job done on one of their off days. I don't much experience with tree trimming but it looks like they did a good job. They trimmed and cleaned 9 redwoods, took down 2 trees that were too close to the yard and one dying cherry tree in the back yard. They did a great job with everything however there was a tiny bit of trash left behind and the stump grinder (who came after I got approval about the gas lines) cut through one of my sprinkler tubing's and just hid everything. I actually installed a new sprinkler controller later that afternoon, so as I was testing the different zones I noticed one of my tree drippers no longer dripping. I was able to find where it got cut which was right in the area where one of the stumps was dug up. Evidently in their service agreement paperwork they say they aren't responsible for any damage done which is understandable but if there is damage done I would expect to be informed about the problem instead of finding out for myself randomly. It's an easy fix and Jaime apologized and said if I'm not able to fix it he'll help out in anyway he can which was kind of him. I wish the person who damaged the tubing would have just told us in the first place. I would have Jaime do work for me again in the future.

Skyview Tree crew of Santa Clara County trespassed through back neighbor yard and shared fence onto…read morefamily yard with healthy old growth ordinance sized Redwood tree on Thursday November 20th, 2025 without an appointment or notification. They had no county-required permit, and no 811 service was pre-marked around the yard before they arrived. The healthy, majestic, sacred and irreplaceable Redwood tree only needed simple pruning/trimming and had been inspected not long before this travesty caused by Skyview crew who removed hundreds of branches from the Redwood. They ignored my demands for them to stop, continued removing all branches, topping the tree, essentially to poach the wood. I contacted to Santa Clara County Arborist Inspectors San Jose Code Enforcement plus tried reaching Skyview Trees before they topped the very top of the tree. There's also a Skyview Trees business in Rohnert Park/Sonoma County with Arborist certifications, accreditations licenses in business much longer than Marisa and Jaime's company - The Skyview Tree Services crewman who trespassed and began poaching away the healthy Redwood used their license number 949233 under false pretenses to botch the Redwood up so badly it could no longer survive... a form of passive tree poaching, with permit and 811 violations to boot. Code Enforcement Director, II David Parker 408-535-7759 david1.parker@sanjoseca.gov verified the otherwise healthy ordinance sized old growth, protected California Redwood Tree was unnecessarily topped by Skyview crew after they purposely over-pruned hundreds and hundreds of virile old growth branches off the entire trunk of the neighborhood ecology and my family's sacred Redwood Tree. We never even received written or verbal notification to expect tree crewmen encroaching our private, personal yard and tree through the neighbor's yard by Skyview, nor the housing community management and community groundskeeper... This was an opportunistic tree poaching by Skyview and who knows what all their cohorts against a senior citizen's family home. Even the common area groundskeeper seemed to be in cahoots with Skyview and two weeks, December 4th after commicating again with Arbortist and Code Enforcement, he physically attacked me, causing multiple serious injuries, a 911 call. Law enforcement did file a report regarding that brutality and also the Redwood tree poaching attempt from November 20th. I had contacted 811 after that incident from November shortly thereafter due to the Skyview tree crew not having permits, and damages they caused as extremely skilled trespassers/poachers/tree-removers with expensive work trucks and heavy equipment. The areas Skyview Tree crewmen encroached were not premarked nor flagged prior to their intrusion on November 20th, 2025 and same thing before they trespassed again to finish poaching all the Redwood trunk full of highly valuable heartwood on Monday February 9th 2026. This time a permit had been issued a by Code Enforcement for "Dead Tree Removal", because Skyview intentionally murdered the Redwood Tree - and no doubt in my mind they had been eyeing the tree for some time while doing palm tree maintenance in the neighborhood common areas. This company has violated my family's deeply religiously held property and rights multiple times in addition to professional standards they purposely and knowingly disregarded to poach the sacred Redwood, all it's branches and timber. Redwood Tree poaching under pretenses of pruning/trimming (intentional over pruning and topping of healthy, ordinance sized old growth California Redwood) without permit in November 2025, and also no 811 premarking of areas is the legacy of Skyview license number 949233 to me - do your research about quality tree professionals not tree poachers with plenty of heavy and expensive equipment... They stole tons of Redwood lumber from our yard, including heartwood and mulch. And many of the yard stepping stones were damaged by their heavy equipment. Unforgettably beyond heartbreaking, Skyview's corruption.. Marisa and Jaime Mendosa 949233 need further investigation currently about their past and alleged "professionalism" guise regarding connections in California and other states, countries to tree poachers.
