    Pruned oak tree

    Sergio and his crew always do a meticulous job pruning our sequoia, pine and oak trees, as well as cleaning up after the job. I was able to work directly with Sergio to select specific areas to focus on, and he was very professional and knowledgeable. They now use a high tech lift to reach outer branches, as well as their traditional climbing gear to reach the top of our tallest trees. Owner Gary is always responsive and comes out in person to provide accurate quotes and a fair price. I will be hiring Valley Tree Care again the next time our trees need trimming.

    My drone was stuck more than 50 feet up a tree and Valley Tree Care helped me retrieve it. Gary was friendly, professional, and gave me pointers on getting the drone down myself, but after I wasn't able to and embarrassed myself in front of the whole neighborhood (I tried for three days straight and people started introducing themselves to me), I called in the professionals. I'm happy this service exists because this is something you need to leave to the professionals, as climbing a tree can lead to injuries and a steeper hospital bill. It's important to do the job safely and correctly! Gary was transparent with the process and pricing. The technician showed up on time and was also equally professional and easy to work with. He did EVERYTHING he said he would do. Everything was as advertised as PROMISED. I highly recommend Valley Tree Care for your niche drone and tree retrieval needs! Thanks Valley Tree Care!

    stump grinder

    I highly recommend Valley Tree Care after they spent two days on our property trimming several large redwoods, an apricot tree, and a coast live oak. They also removed a dead tree and ground the stump. As the work took less time than anticipated by the owner, Gary, who did the quote, the cost was less than expected. The foreman, Sergio, was very easy to communicate with, and he did an excellent job of getting our feedback along the way and responding to our suggestions. They have new, well-maintained equipment which helps them to do the job efficiently. Gary came by to see the results at the end of the job which we appreciated. Kudos to Valley Tree Care for a job well-done.

    Asked for trimming a large Oak tree that overhangs my backyard. Gary gave me a fair price ad scheduled the crew for 3 days later. The crew headed by Sergio arrived on-time and got to work. They did a great job and cleaned up all the debris. I'm very happy with the work of Valley Tree Care.

    Thinned tree, with end weight removed. Bougainvillea rehung on porch beams.

    Winter and spring 2023 brought extensive damage to my front yard. Bougainvillea has hung from hooks on my porch beams for decades. An intense wind storm lifted the vines off the hooks, and they were too heavy for neighbors to rehang them. Then, branches just snapped off my tree on a couple of perfectly calm days. My friend who is a consulting arborist recommended that I call Gary Ortega of Valley Tree Care. Gary came over promptly and gave me a bid that was less than what I'd dreaded to remove the broken branches and rehang the bougainvillea. He said he was giving me a deal, and my arborist friend agreed that assessment. Gary also advised me to remove weight at the ends of branches and to thin the tree every 3 years. Sergio and his crew of two arrived the following afternoon and completed the entire job in two hours! Sergio consulted with me on how much wood to remove from the heavy bougainvillea, and I'm confident that the vine will grow back robustly. The tree is well-trimmed, and I don't expect it to break before its next thinning. I enjoyed working with Gary and Sergio, and I'm completely satisfied with the results of their work.

    Tree and stump gone!

    We are so glad that we chose to work with Sergio and his crew. The first step in the process was to have Sergio out to give us a quote. We wanted several trees removed and stumps grinded. He put everything in separate line items so it was easy to pick and choose what we ultimately wanted to do later. The day of the removal, the team took great care of our property as they dragged the branches out of our back yard, and they worked quickly to get the job done. We would work them again, and we'll tell any of our neighbors and friends to work with this team! Thanks so much

    See all

    Any chance you are able to provide free wood chips?

    Yes we give free wood chips minimum 12 yd. We will deliver anywhere that's reasonably close for free

    Any free estimate?

    They gave me an initial estimate, then had their arborist check out the details. Then I was given a firm price that I could except or reject. There were no surprises.

    Do you help sell second hand trees? I have a big tree needs to move out and I hope someone can remove it and sell it to other people as my yard has no place for it anymore after extension of the house.

    Hi this is Gary from Valley tree care. Unfortunately no we do not there's too much risk involved with it.

    Do you accept small job like trimming one tree? How much is your minimum charge? TriValley too far for you?

Edwin's estimates are straightforward and fair. No "we'll reassess once we're up there." The number stays the number. I've also priced the larger companies (including The Davey Tree Expert Company), and the difference wasn't subtle. EC came in literally 3-4x less. Same clean cuts. Same haul-away. Same spotless yard. They show up. They move fast. They clean everything. In a region where contractor pricing sometimes feels venture-backed, Edwin is refreshingly old-school.

Even though it was Christmas Day, Elmer showed up within 30 minutes and provided an extremely fair and honest estimate. His crew arrived about 30 minutes later and completed the job promptly and professionally. They were very careful with our clay tile roof while removing the large branch and also took the time to prune all the weak branches from the tree to prevent future issues. Everything was done safely, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with them during a stressful situation, and I truly appreciated their responsiveness and professionalism--especially on a holiday. I would highly recommend EC Tree Service to anyone in need of tree work.

Of all the companies that provided quotes, JC Tree Experts was the most detailed. Some simply scribbled a price on their business card, but JC Tree Experts emailed a detailed quote explaining exactly what work was included, debris hauled away, etc., photos of the trees to be worked on, arborist certification, and even their insurance certificate as evidence that the company and their employees were covered in the event of accident or injury on our property. This was by far more than any other company provided, and it was a clear indication of their level of professionalism. Theirs was not the lowest quote, but was much more reasonable than some. They arrived as scheduled to do the work - in fact, a little early. It was a large crew with two large trucks and a wood chipper. The crew confirmed the expectations with us and set to work. They were all cheerful and friendly, but worked quite efficiently, completing the work in less than an hour. They did a great job on the trees, cleaned up all the debris completely, and even used a blower to make sure they didn't miss anything. I wholeheartedly recommend JC Tree Experts. They simply could not have done a better job!
