    Before trimming, this tree was becoming very unsafe due to the weight. Wild beautiful, it needed to be thinned out.
    Kristi L.

    Willy is a life saver. I'd been worried about some trees in our backyard for a while and with the upcoming storm, I decided to call and have Willy come take a look. He came immediately on Monday - I think I called at 4:30 and he was outside by 4:50. He came to our backyard and pointed out several areas that should be tripped back to make it safe. When we asked when the soonest he could come, he said tomorrow. By the next day, an entire team of tree cutters arrived and they were in and out within a few hours. They cut back the trees, opened them up so wind would go through them, and still kept the privacy of our backyard. Sure enough by Wednesday, we got more rain and wind from the storm than expected and I'm so thankful Willy and his team made us a priority. I don't know if our trees would have made it through the winds. Thanks Willy and team! We will definitely use you guys again and refer you to our neighbors.

    We used Willy 4 years ago and he did a fantastic job, so we called him back to do some more trimming and removal. Very responsive, he called the same day and set an appt the next day. Was on time and brought a crew of 4 with him. Within an hour they were done thinning our redwood tree and trimming several fruit trees and the removal of another. Paid attention to cleanup too. Fee was very fair and affordable!!!

    My mangled guava tree.

    Willy was so helpful removing a big chunk of our ash tree that had a large branch drop during the storm in March. The same section of the tree had also dropped a branch into the yard in January and it was clear that the whole section needed to be removed. Willy showed up within 24 hours to inspect it and had a crew there the following morning to complete the work, which took until about 2pm. I also approved them trimming some of my other trees while they were on site and the overall bill was a lot less than I feared it would be. The only reason I reduced the rating to 4 stars instead of 5 is that later in the day the crew had a careless trimmer up in the tree and another on the ground. The one in the tree cut and dropped a large branch onto my beautiful pineapple guava, breaking off a large section in the middle of the tree. Shortly after that a different trimmer cut off a significant amount of my blooming ceanothus tree, which didn't need pruning and shouldn't have been touched. All in all I'm glad I had the work done and they did a great job on my giant ash tree, but the training and supervision of the crew must be lacking or these errors wouldn't have left me with two of my smaller trees damaged.

    Willy and his team came on time and did such a great job! Very aware of our neighbors yards and worked very efficiently. they cut down our 50 foot palm tree and tore out our bamboo. they have a great team who are all so nice and work very hard! Was so easy to work with. Would definitely recommend and trust these guys to do big or small jobs.

    75 year-old Magnolia tree, trimmed and canopy thinned by Willy's Tree Service
    John W.

    Willy's Tree Service thinned, trimmed and cut back excessively grown heavy branches on our 75-year-old large Magnolia tree in the parking strip. This tree had never been professionally maintained. (I used to cut some of the lower branches until I could no longer safely reach any.) Willy and his four-man crew expertly took on the task -initially I wanted to cut back away from the roof, gutter and low branches hanging over the driveway (I had to duck to get into the car) and to have some lower branches over the neighbor yard removed. Willy did an assessment of the tree condition, and I am very pleased with the completed work. The tree now looks great (see photo- I didn't take a before picture, but you couldn't see the sky through it!). Willy addressed with me the heavy branches on this old tree, and I feared the possibility something could come down in a heavy storm. I am glad to have the excessively heavy branches thinned and removed. My wife and I both think the tree has a far better appearance now. His price was reasonable and fair; with two men in the tree, two on the ground, with Willy observing, directing the workers, and keeping any traffic safe during the work, it was an efficient crew. Everyone hustled. I will look forward to Willy's Tree Service doing work for us in the future.

    We are very blessed to have found Willy's Tree Service. From the initial contact to completion of job we experienced nothing but excellence in customer service. They have all the proper and best equipment to accomplish the job safe and efficiently. Willy's team was promptly on time and had our job finished well ahead of expected completion time. Job price was in line with requirements and expectations. Highly Recommend Willy's Tree Service Thank you Willy and Team.

I can't say enough good things about Luis (crew manager), Jonathan & Juan the project managers. All around so thorough , responsive & good people. We received 2 quotes to remove a large leaning sequoia in our yard. Searching for my final quote I saw Luis & team pruning my neighbors large tree. I asked if he could quote us & he walked right over with a very reasonable quote on the spot. We quickly exchanged info, got scheduled w project completion in 2 weeks. They were responsive to all my questions & took down our giant tree in under 4 hours. They were efficient & respectful of our space. Can't wait to refer JMV to everyone I know!

However, this morning, I find myself meeting a team member from JMV Tree Service, who is a licensed arborist and very professional, and I asked him if he could remove a few trees for me. He said yes and once he saw the project and its scope, he told me he could complete the project in a few hours. Then about 30 minutes later, he sent a crew. (It's all in the timing)!! To my amazement, they removed all of it while I was at work and they did such a fantastic job. I wish I did it months ago because this tree has been bothering me and dropping things in my backyard and it was driving me crazy. Absolutely bonkers... so much so, I bought a leaf blower because this tree was making such a mass every day on the deck. And in just a couple hours and for a very fair price, Jonathan and his team at JMV Tree Service did a fine job and made it very easy for me. Yes, I will keep them in my contacts for help with my trees in the future. I'm glad my neighbor introduced us and I am very grateful because they know their stuff and they did a great job. On time ... and on budget. So easy, Yay!

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.

Based on that job, we had Jose come back to price planting of sago palms and trimming trees/bushes/hedges. His price sounded good so we scheduled a one-day job for the work. On the scheduled Tuesday, a crew of three arrived (but not Jose to lead the work). We had to explain to the lead what we wanted done (same as we had explained to Jose before). The lead did not appear to understand us completely. The lead even FaceTimed with Jose for clarification. Apparently, that didn't make it any clearer for the lead...as evidenced by the crew's work. During the first three hours, the crew only managed to plant the sago palms...half of them planted too deep in depressions. They ran out of soil. The lead found a bag on my property and asked if they could use it. After I told him no, he used it anyway and said he misunderstood me. One guy also had to leave to buy more soil for the sagos. After I complained to Jose, the crew provided a replacement bag of soil. The crew trimmed the palm trees and hedges ok. They, however, botched the rest of their work. They butchered the bushes, fruit trees and other trees. They only completed about have the work and didn't cleanup at the end of their day...saying they'd be back on Friday. We feel it is unacceptable for them to have left the job site in such a state...even if they planned to return. The crew also broke a yard lantern. Not sure if we can get a replacement. We cancelled their Friday return and only paid them for the work completed. We are not satisfied with either the partial job done or the price charged for that partial job. It's crap. Vega Tree Service clearly had a more important job elsewhere and sent an inexperienced/subpar lead and crew to do our job. Poor customer service. We will not be using Vega's Tree Service again. We also cannot recommend them to other customers.
