Just used A1 to remove two large birds of paradise plants that were damaging our backyard walls. Amazing experience! Andrew was the only tree removal service that actually met with me to answer some questions and give advice on our situation. His crew was quick and cleaned up well. Andrew himself came the next day and to grind out the stump. Very happy to have found A1 Stump Tree Service and would highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Andrew and A1 for any tree services. The City had sent us a violation notice and required a tree removal; Andrew gave us a very straight forward, no frills estimate and had the most reasonable price by far! Very easy to communicate with and has great follow through. Thank you Andrew and A1! read more

If you need help making a tree disappear... I know a guy. I needed a small tree removed and a couple stumps ground, and the company I usually work with was too busy to return my call. The job apparently wasn't big enough for them. A1, on the other hand, was quick to respond. The owner, Andrew, was friendly and gave me straight answers to my questions. The only downside was that Andrew is extremely swamped with work as well! He scheduled me for an estimate but didn't record it in his calendar, and so the appointment came and went with no Andrew. But I texted him and he was able to come by later that day. He showed me the endless stream of messages he gets for jobs that need to be done. I totally empathize - we're all busy, and tree companies have gotten busier during the pandemic. We could all learn to have a bit more understanding. Andrew ballparked a day when he might be able to return to do the work, and the actual day he came was just a day later. He kept me in the loop via phone and text. Once here, he made short work of the tree and stumps that were in the backyard. He has different stump grinders and was able to bring one that fit easily through the side gate. He spent a lot of time on each stump, going deep and being very thorough, grinding up the large roots as well. All that's left now is a nice bed of earth and mulch - it's like those trees never existed. Andrew hauled away all the large pieces, courteously not putting anything in my green bin. To top it off, the price was very reasonable, especially considering how in-demand these services are these days. So until we all start keeping our own heavy machinery in the shed, give A1 a call if you want to make your tree problem go away. read more

Our next door neighbor had 3 ~ 40 ft tall podocarpus trees that had grown out of control and were lifting up our property. They had agreed to take them out. Then suddenly they moved out and put the house up for sale. Not knowing who the next owners would be put us on a tight schedule to get it done before it sold. Andrew got right back to me and fit our job in for the next day. His bid was lower than the other two I received. But we chose him because he seemed all around more together and knowledgeable. Also the other tree people said the fence would need to be removed to get in close enough to really grind out the stumps so they wouldn't regrow. Andrew said taking out the fence wasn't needed. The crew showed up on time with state of the art tools. They worked a total of about 5-6 hours over two days. They were fast and efficient and gone before I could say thanks. They got in really close to the fence without damaging it and cleaned up perfectly. A special thanks to Andrew and his crew Reggie the site manager and Aurelio who did I'm guessing a lot of work. We are truly grateful for squeezing us in and delivering such a quality job. read more

Andrew and his team came out today and did a fantastic job trimming two of our overgrown trees. The crew was incredibly professional and efficient.

A1 Stump Tree Service - There were 3 of these large stumps, they ground them down to nothing. - Landscaping Near Me - San Jose, California

I needed a big tree removed and some pruning for a few. A1 was quick and thorough. Andrew gave me the most competitive quote and even though I took a long time to call him back he was able to honor it. Most other companies were way higher and chipping wasn't even included. A1 chipped everything and didn't leave a mess in the street for the city to clean later. As you can imagine, this was greatly appreciated. Thank you A1 stump. read more

I called Andrew for a quote, and he was out the same day to visit my property and provide me with a quote; the price was very reasonable, and the final results were perfect. I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any of the services he offers. read more

Andrew did a fantastic job removing six moderate sized tree stump from our yard. He was careful to avoid underground irrigation pipes and did an excellent job cleaning up. I can highly recommend him. read more

Requested a quote on Yelp, posting pictures and got 3 estimates on grinding two stumps, with one located in the parking strip, and the other one located in my backyard. The first two had no problem with the front, but getting to the backyard meant taking down my gate, and rain down spout on the side of the house for their 35 inch wide grinding machines to squeeze by. Luckily I found A1 Stump Tree Service, and with several sized machines to fit any situation, they provided a good price, and showed up the next day. Needless to say, they ground out the tree stump in the front making way for the new tree, and brought along a hand held grinder, grinding out the stump in the back without having to take down gate. They were in and out in about an hour. Fast, Friendly, and Affordable service, removing the old tree stumps making way for a new tree in the front, and a new home improvement project in my back yard. Thanx Andrew, job well done. read more

Andrew and his team did great work for us after a huge oak tree (shown) collapsed into our driveway, blocking our garage and crushing one of our cars. They responded quickly and in short order did the lion's share of work to remove a huge trunk and branches that undoubtedly involved a lot of logistical issues. I absolutely recommend them for projects like the one we had. read more

A1 Stump Tree Service - Landscaping Near Me - San Jose, California

I always get 3 quotes for home projects and A1's quote was right in the middle along with a very informative conversation re: their approach to trees. The crew was most professional, approachable, friendly, informative and so beyond artful at their craft. Our tree was located in a very precarious corner of our backyard and hanging over a very dilapidated wood roof. Nothing was damaged and they left our place as clean as a whistle. You would've never known they were there except for a missing tree - goal achieved!!! read more

Andrew is so responsive, knowledgeable and professional! Highly recommends him to everyone who needs tree service!

My parents decided to put their house on the market so we moved forward with getting a few Eucalyptus trees removed (those things grow like crazy). I found Andrew and A1 stump through a contractor, which is solid, because referrals are typically a trustworthy source. Andrew came by the house, assessed the site, and gave me an estimate. I didn't get any other bids because frankly, I don't care. His price was reasonable, he seemed to know his trade very well, I needed the trees cut down and I don't own a chainsaw. The best part is, Andrew and his guys used the wood chips from the Eucalyptus trees and spread them throughout certain parts of the landscape on both sides of the house, which REALLY cleaned up the look of my parents yard! Trees are always gonna grow, so I'll be using A1 Stump in the future for sure! read more

I recently had A1 Stump do some work on our house. We had a massive stump in the backyard that was a huge eyesore. In addition, we needed some other trees trimmed and some advice on roots affecting our concrete. Andrew and his crew were AMAZING! They were very professional, fast, and extremely knowledgable. They have done work for all of my family in the area but this was the first time I was the customer. I will continue to use them and recommend them to anyone looking for their services. Thank you again for your help! read more

I was very impressed with the service and in particular the people. Andrew and his amazing crew were on time, professional and cleaned up the job site nicely. I really thought they were exceptional.

I can't say enough about the efficiency and professionalism of A1 Stump. Andrew is knowledgable, friendly and has a great crew. I needed them last minute for an emergency as a storm wiped out half of our Sycamore tree! We ended up with 2 enormous branches on the sidewalk and our front yard. Andrew was great at getting a crew out there, I don't know what we would have done. Thank you A1 Stump for coming out in the rain to help with our tree! read more

I've actually used this service twice in the last three years. The first time they were at my home, it was a little over 3 years ago. They cut down some trees in my backyard and planted 5 fruit trees. They were incredibly fast, efficient, and clean. They took everything with them instead of leaving it on the curb which I have seen other tree services do. I know the are very busy but they are definitely worth the wait. I highly recommend them. read more

I used A1 on a job site a while back. Andrew and his crew were punctual, organized and professional. I then hired them to trim my folks trees in Willow Glen. My dad, who is never impressed with any contractors, told me to save his number, due to how happy he was. I used him once more at my house in Willow Glen, I had him take out (3) overgrown trees on my property that had grown in to the power lines, as well as removing the stumps. Once we were further along with the backyard, I had him come back and plant (4) trees. After my multiple experiences with A1, I wouldn't use anyone else. I have recommend them any time anyone has tree work that needs to be done. read more

We hired Andrew to remove four big stumps in our backyard. He was fast and thorough (there were a lot of big roots everywhere). He took precautions to protect our windows from rocks that might be thrown by the grinder.

We'll uses his services again when we'll have to prune the trees in the front. read more

We moved into a new home which needed lots of updating, paticularly a few trees that I assumed were dead and rouge stumps that needed removal. I was very surprised with Andrew's level of knowledge- he really knows his stuff. My "dead" tree was actually dormant and in regard to the stump, it was removed and I now have a plentiful stack of wood to keep for firewood. Good prices too! read more

Andrew at A1 Stump is one of our subcontractors and his tree work is by far the best in the Bay Area. Our estate clients are particular about who is on their property and Andrew of A1 Stump has proven to be a professional at what he does.

I called Andrew for a quote and he was out to visit my property and provide me with a quote the same day. He had his crew out to my house within a week. They started right on time and finished fast.

Last spring Andrew came out the day I called and ground the solid roots in the area between the sidewalk and street. A new tree was planted and a beautiful flower garden now grows in what was once hardly any dirt. Timing, price and cleanup were the best. I did A LOT of calling around for bids before selecting A1 stump removal. I have another project coming up and I'm just connecting with them first and hoping they can work me in again. read more

Got 2 tree stumps removed in the backyard. I called around and a lot of the companies won't do such a small job. But Andrew came out and gave me a quote on Friday and scheduled for Tuesday. The stumps were gone in less than 30 minutes. The job was done fast and throughly. His worker even removed new trees that are growing from the root without extra charge. I would use the service again. read more

First first thing first this guy Andrew had to have wrote these reveiws himself. "mad skills'' Who says that? my twelve year old! I hired him and had a horrible experiance.Not only was he late he also smelt like alchohol and his truck leaked oil all over my new drive way! crummy job, horrible service, and doesent even deserve this star! read more

So I called and set up a ppointment and 3 hours before appointment I got a call that Andrew could not come out due to a flat tire on his machine. We aggreed to get in touch the following day to set something up and I never got a call the next day or when I called I got a recorder in which I left a message and NEVER got a return call. I am guessing this guy has so much money and is doing so well he doesn't need any business right now. read more
