If you own property in the Bay Area, you already know tree bids can get... aspirational…read more I've used EC Tree Service three times over five years -- everything from removing multiple 50-year flowering pear trees to taking out three tall birches to regular roofline trims so my insurance doesn't panic. 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.

We had a large birch fall over and hired EC to remove the tree and grind the stump. They did a…read moregreat job from start to finish. They were able to come out promptly (Elmer was at our place within an hour after I contacted them) to provide a quote. The price was very fair. They had a crew out a few hours later to remove the tree. The foreman was respectful of the property, careful not to damage surrounding landscaping. A second crew came out to grind the stump and did such a good job redistributing the mulch that it looks like there had never been a tree there. Both teams were friendly and explained what they were going to do. The invoicing was accurate and easy. Will definitely consider EC again for tree work.

Two and a half weeks later, after getting alternative bids, they came ahead of schedule with a lift and very professionally removed the two large trees. The crew asked me about sprinklers as they had to work with big logs near their controls that stuck up out of the ground - I assured them that they were turned off and not to worry. They were very careful to return to their yard to get boards to cover my lawn before moving their lift on to it. I had said I didn't mind any damage to the lawn as it's not the greatest lawn and I could easily reseed and dig it over. Highly recommended. The crew are the best at cleaning up of any of the arborist firms we've used in over 25 years in Portola Valley. I am delighted the trees are gone - the garden is much lighter and I don't have to worry about branches hitting my head outside. The trees had dropped a branch 16 years earlier that went through the pantry wall and on two other occasions had dropped branches almost as high as the house on the lawn that I had had to saw. So it was time for them to go.

We initially called Solomon to assess two large pines leaning dangerously on our hillside, and he also identified two additional dead trees that posed a risk to a neighboring property--something we really appreciated. In a single day, his experienced crew of about eight crew removed all four trees, chipped everything, and left the area impressively clean. The team worked efficiently and with a strong focus on safety throughout the job. One of the trees was very close to our house, but they handled it with precision and no issues at all. Over the past 25 years, we've worked with other tree services, and Pineda stands out for their reliability, professionalism, and ability to stay on time and on budget. They consistently meet, or beat, competitive quotes. We also value supporting a local company that consistently meets--and exceeds--expectations. Highly recommended.
