Here's our Acacia tree.

The first time we used Vega's they did a great job. The second time we used them they cut the top of our Acacia tree off. We also asked that one palm be cut and the stump left, which it was, but another type of palm was cut and the stump was also left when we specifically asked for it to be removed. My mistake was not noticing it said to not grind both. The real disappointment is the Acacia, which looks absolutely strange and terrible. When I explained the situation to Jose, he said "I guess they made a mistake, nothing I can do about it now". I'm so disappointed and have no idea how and if the tree will grow back. He also kept interrupting me which made me feel I had nothing important to say. He finally said to call him in a year and they'd trim it for free. I'll be calling someone else. Most of their reviews on here are great so I guess they don't need our business anyway.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SERVICE!! I needed to get my tree cut quickly before we start work on our roof. After contacting Vega's thru Yelp, I received a response quickly and within a couple of hours Jose came to do an estimate. He also made sure to get me scheduled within 2 days in order to be done in time. He scheduled me for 9AM Friday (Roofer starts Monday) and even tried to come a day earlier but I unfortunately missed the call. He and his crew showed up today (Friday) earlier than scheduled at closer to 8AM which was amazing! They were completely finished including clean-up in about an hour! AMAZING JOB! VERY NICE AND PROFESSIONAL. REASONABLE PRICE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We were happy with the work they did. Thanks!

While he was…read moregenerally responsive and made lots of promises, he misrepresented himself as an arborist when I needed one for tree root pruning around a sidewalk permit with the City of Oakland. Alejandro only told the truth after we had gathered a big 10-person crew of my general contractor's team, the city inspector and whole concrete team ready to pour the sidewalk. With all these men looking to him for approval as the arborist, he buckled and admitted he wasn't a "certified arborist" but a "licensed arborist." We were all dumbfounded. This colossal waste of time cost me several thousand dollars more from a two week delay and extra man hours over Xmas, when Alejandro left a big safety hazard of sharp nails, overturned plywood, and a mess of wood chips on the sidewalk that another crew had to manage when he was a no-show on the cleaning part. At least he did actually prune the roots after he found a real "certified arborist" to replace him. He did cut back the tree branches just fine. But If you need anything more official than a tree haircut, I don't recommend you choose Alejandro.

Assessed the situation and told me my options for tree removal, just a cut down or cut down + trunk removal. I opted for the latter. His price came in lower than someone else I had come and give me a quote, which I was surprised. My smallish pine tree (15 - 20 ft tall) was cut, stump removed, and cleaned up in 2.5 hours. Leo double checked if I wanted the hole to be left open where the stump was removed or cover it back up with dirt before they finished the project. I opted for them to cover the hole back up since I'm not ready to put in a new tree. Communication was good, he let me know when he was 5 mins out from my house and we were in communication about scheduling. Would definitely hire again.

Leo arrived, on time, & after a walk through & discussion, we agreed on a contract which was sent to me via email prior to scheduled job. Next day the job was completed with no issues. Leo & his Team, knocked it all out at a reasonable time. They were meticulous with their work and left the yard clean and tidy on completion. Leo is a friendly, professional and an *Expert* at what he does. He & his team trimmed, removed deadwood from two Pines trees, cut off a huge branch from my Oak Tree that was too close to my roof as well as cut down at least 5 ft. from our large Tree/scrub. Very efficient with each job task. After it was all done, I can't say how extremely satisfied I am by the work. I'm so happy to get this project done in such a quick turnaround. I will most definitely call on Leo & his Team for future home Tree Trimming+. I strongly recommend Alvarado Tree Service.

The small project was to take a pittosporum down about 5 feet and enhance the canopy shape. They did a very nice job on this. Meanwhile, the bigger project was being done by the rest of the crew. We have a very large Monterey Cypress. It needed to be cleared or dead branches, a good deal of weight, and a large lateral "window" created to allow a clear view from a back deck. With guys on ropes and a guy on the cherry picker truck (bucket truck), they go the job done. All of this was completed in an afternoon and within about a week of my contacting them. Additionally, I enjoyed interacting with the crew and with Willy. Certainly worth getting an estimate!

Nevertheless, the crew completed that and removal of the remaining trunk and root the following date with incredible efficiency and safety precautions to protect trees from falling. You're in good hands with Willy the owner, who is practical and understanding of the emotions around trees and his crew polite and exceedingly hard working. It was well worth the amount we paid which was competitive. It helps them out immensely when you can clear out space for them to work and secure parking for their chipper and truck.

They had a near perfect rating and were praised by pleased clients. After contacting Juan, he came over almost immediately to provide a quote. I wanted to update my high maintenance, overgrown front yard with low maintenance, drought tolerant plants and pavers. Juan listened to my ideas and provided his own useful knowledge. They were the right group for the job! Shortly afterwards, I also met Michael, the Project Manager. He and Juan manage several work teams that we got to see in action over the next several months. Workers were here religiously 5-6 days a week; usually starting around 9am and working usually until after 5pm in good weather and bad. The teams work incredibly hard and are extremely skilled in all facets of yard construction. Any concerns or glitches were met by almost immediate response by JV, whether or not the request came during the course of the work day. I was extremely impressed when Michael came by late one evening during pouring rain to clear water backing up onto the street and sidewalk due to equipment left at the curb. Near the completion of my front yard, I started to talk with Juan and Michael about completing the backyard and sides as well. They continued the pavers from the front with a backyard patio and paths on the sides. My old redwood deck was replaced with a composite deck and wood pergola, artificial grass, maintenance shed and complete lighting. Roxanne, their plant specialist, listened to my plant suggestions and designed a yard full of interesting plants to meet my requirements. Even though the job is now complete, JV wants to make sure customers remain satisfied. Many of my new plants were planted during the winter, and as I live in a frost zone, I was unsure of what would survive the winter. I'm pleased to say that only one type of flower planted in the front yard appears to be struggling, but Michael has already said they would be replaced if they didn't survive until spring. It's that type of customer follow through that makes JV Gardening amongst the best in their field. Now that my whole job is complete, I'm very happy that I used JV for the job. I truly think I made the best decision by hiring them!

They cut an extensive number of branches from the oak tree and let them free-fall on my property, which is full of plants. The branches damaged my plants extensively. My backyard was probably 4 feet high with branches, and 8 feet deep. When I talked to one of the workers, he said the plants were "OK", but that wasn't true. When I asked to speak to the supervisor from Madriz, the workers said he wasn't there. No one from Madriz told me that they were going to prune the tree and let large branches free-fall into my backyard onto the plants in my garden and garage roof. Completely unprofessional. With respect to your request for a video, I do have a video of your Madriz worker in my backyard pulling piles and piles of branches off of my plants in my garden. With respect to your comment that I was "yelling and screaming" and "harassing" your workers, you are gaslighting me. I don't yell, scream, or harass workers. It's offensive and untrue. If you wanted to dead-drop limbs from an oak tree into my backyard, onto the plants in my garden, you should have contacted me first and discussed it. You never did.
