Joe came out and spent a good long while talking to my daughter about my sick tree. He left without making a diagnosis. He said maybe it's over watered, maybe it has a fungus, maybe I can get a new tree from the nursery bought it from. No solid recommendation whatsoever to fix my tree Not at all worth the money that I paid him. Buyer beware read more

California roots was hired by us after getting at least 10 different quotes! They were reliable, communicative and best price around! They were very quick with coming out and cutting down two VERY large trees! Wish we had more trees so we could hire them again! Appreciate their hard work and promptness!!! read more

Joe and crew were stellar! I had gotten a quote two weeks back regarding some Queen Palms that needed removed. In recent months, they had become too tall for me to trim, and were dropping berries, blossoms, and frawns on the yard, and the neighbor's yard. I finally decided to pull the trigger, and Joe worked around my schedule. He brought an additional two helpers who cleaned as he climbed and cut. They had one truck with a chipper, and another with his saws and the stump grinder. Work began promptly at 7:30, and they were done by noon. There was no damage, they cleaned up my yard, and even went to the neighbor's and cleaned up his backyard with a few small pieces that had fallen there. They raked the soil collecting loose roots and tree fragments, and swept the deck where sawdust and the like had collected. The entire experience was great. I watched most of it, from chopping the trees down to grinding the stumps, and they were careful, meticulous, and professional. I would HIGHLY recommend them, and I even have him coming back for some work with my sprinklers and other miscellaneous tasks. Don't hesitate to give them a call. read more

I needed to have five queen palm trees trimmed back. I reached out to multiple companies but California Roots Tree & Landscape got back tell me the quickest and provide a great quote. I spoke with Joseph who was very professional and we setup a date and time for them to come out. California Roots Tree & Landscape arrived on time and was prepared to get to work. I will be differently calling California Roots Tree & Landscape anytime I need work done. Dont believe the people that rate only 1 star. This company is legitimate and does outstanding work. read more

I have used California Roots twice now to remove 2 palm trees and one almond tree. Joe and his crew are prompt, professional and quick! Everything from start to finish was excellent. No mess when they are finished. I highly recommend them for any tree service you need done. read more

Joe and crew did an excellent job on removal of two tree stumps. They came in the morning. When they finished, I got the invoice online, I saw the great job they did, paid online... done! read more

This guy is a total bully! I have no idea how he's received positive feedback. My wife and I paid him over $4200 for 18' of fence with two curved gates and the job he did was horrible. We paid a premium for a 'high end' fence with a design that we discussed extensively before hand and what we got was a a cheap piece of crap with multiple split boards, wobbly and crooked posts and gates that were very poorly constructed, sagging, and installed backwards (even after detailed conversations about which way they would open). He cut corners at every opportunity. When we called him on his crappy work, he immediately got irate and called us names and threatened to put a lein on our house. He even had the audacity to tack on another $200 (after $250 previously) at the end of the job because it 'took longer than expected'. Joe is NOT honest; far from it. We paid him under duress, and he still refused to come out and fix any of his work. We were scammed and I have tons of pics to prove it. We have gotten a lawyer and are in the process of suing him in Stanislaus Superior Court (not small claims). We will not allow him to do this to someone else. We intend to make sure he goes out of business. Additionally, he does NOT carry a licence to do fencing; only landscaping. BEWARE!!! read more

The only nice thing I have to say is they came out to do estimate same day, other than that not impressed. We wanted to replace our old fence and the guy who came out did not even have a tape measure! He just took pictures. When he emailed quote was inaccurate with a measurement of 20 feet over what the actual fence was. read more

Very good job!!! Best part joe and crew were reliable and courteous!! Did what was asked, I recommend them!! Joe is very knowledgeable in his work, thanks again!! read more

Joe and his crew did a fantastic job with my big trees in the backyard. A huge limb had fallen in a storm and I really needed both trees trimmed to be sure it wouldn't happen again. I was worried about getting just anybody to trim them because I really depend on those trees for shade in the summer. Joe is a certified arborist and really knows what he's doing. He not only makes sure the trees are cut in a "healthy" way but is also very concerned with the aesthetic value. California Roots is reasonably priced and one of the only companies that actually called me back when I was looking for tree services. Joe has been great with communication during the process and I appreciate his professionalism. read more

Very fast response. Called me back in less than an hour, came over same morning and gave a quote. Was there the next morning with a crew. Great job and reliable read more

We had a really good experience. They came out a few weeks ago and started the job that week. The rain impacted the time frame a little, but Joe was out checking on the rain and keeping us updated. They removed 34 cypress trees that had completely ruined our concrete, and then replaced the pad. It looks great. He had a great team and they made our property feel like a priority. I'd recommend them. read more

I called California Roots for a back yard clean up. There was a lot of over grown bushes and plants, even bamboo. I got a quote on my neighbors tree that is starting to grow into my yard. During the quote it was apparent that Joseph knew his work. He showed a concern for the trees I asked about and gave me helpful tips about their care. (I have some Japanese maples) I scheduled California Roots for a backyard clean up. They arrived at 7:30 sharp and got straight to work. Before they were even done I couldn't believe the transformation. Joseph and his crew accomplished all that I asked and even a little more. They were professional, hard working, and reliable. I would gladly call them for other work and recommend others for their services. read more

We just had this company remove 2 trees from our yard, a 40 ft and a 20 ft. The larger one was in quite a tricky area amid power and phone lines. Joe and his crew did a great job: the trees were removed safely, with no damage to the many things that surrounded them. He arrived promptly, was very knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. Both stumps were ground along with an additional 2 stumps. Everything was cleaned up beautifully. We highly recommend this company!! read more

Joe and his crew just built us a 350 foot redwood fence, a custom gate, cut dead wood out of tall Cottonwood trees, removed old trees and shrubs, repaired irrigation valves, and hauled off a lot of yard debris. They did an excellent job. Joe was the only landscaper/fence builder who returned our calls promptly and showed up for appointments on time. His crew was here for about 2 weeks; they are polite, hard workers and take pride in their work. We will be using them again for more landscaping projects. read more

I really don't want to ever hear that the local economy needs help and we need to really give them our money. I'm all for doing local, heck my mom had a shop and hardly anyone local even shopped there. We've been trying to get people out to fix our fence for over a month now. One person has shown after countless calls to others. We'd do it ourselves if we simply had the time! If you want jobs and money show up when you say you will! Rant over. Thank you for your time. read more

Joe answered my call Monday (it was raining, so he wasn't on a job), met me at my house immediately and gave me what seemed like a very reasonable estimate on a big, scary tree removal job. He rearranged his schedule and started the job today. Got the big tree out before it destroyed my house. Turns out the tree had a nasty termite infestation. He'll be back tomorrow to trim up the remaining trees. Even before he's finished, I have no problem recommending him for his honesty and professionalism, and plan to have him do more work in the future. read more

Although I had some difficulties getting a call back, I did finally get in contact with them. The new lawn looks great as I hoped. They do great work and are very thorough. They also helped me out by moving some of the excess dirt to another place I needed it. I really appreciated what they did. I can't wait for summertime! read more

I contacted California Roots on Sunday, Sept. 17 and I believe it was Joe who returned my call the next day. Joe explained that he was very busy; and was working about a month out on tree removal but could come by for an estimate on Wednesday of that week. It has now been 2 1/2 weeks since I spoke to Joe. He has never called back, never showed up. Joe, your business may be doing well today but if you continue to put the all mighty dollar in front of providing excellent customer service word of mouth will eventually slow your business to a crawl. A word to the wise. If you can't return my call or keep an appointment you will never have the chance to earn my business. Customer service has to be #1 and when it isn't the proof shows in the workmanship. read more

Joe is an honest hard working owner of his own business. I've hired him many times and he does quality work. He takes pride in doing a job well. As he walks around assessing the job he clearly explains what needs to be done. His prices are reasonable, especially for the expertise he brings. He's repaired and replaced irrigation systems, replaced damaged lawns, and trimmed two very tall trees. He always leaves work spaces cleaner than the mess he finds upon arrival. Highly recommend him! read more

During the recent rain and huge wind storm, I had a 75 foot redwood ready to fall on my house. The fire department was able to come out and tie the tree temporarily to another tree. Joe and his crew showed up in the middle of the storm to look at the tree. It wasn't safe for anyone to work on the tree right then, but Joe returned the next morning and saved my house. This is the 2nd time I have used this company and both times the service was excellent. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs a true professional. Thank you!! read more

I called California Roots ( great name by the way) to have 3 60ft. California King Palm trees cut down. Joe returned my call Right away and were out to do a free estimate within a few days. They are fair priced and had it done within a week from when our estimate was done. They were very courteous of our time and our home. As you would think having 3 large Palm trees cut down can cause a large mess however they cleaned everything up even a few pieces that fell in the neighbors yard. I would highly recommend California Roots and will be using them for any landscaping needs in the future. read more

Removed two trees almost a year ago. Palm tree was 60ft tall and pine tree was 70 ft tall. Trees were were located in a tight space between two houses. He climbed the trees and roped the pieces down in sections. He did an excellent job. To save money I had him just knock the trees down and cut up into movable pieces. I hauled to the dump myself. He had great prices and was very professional. I would definitely recommend him for any tree removal. Best of all he returned my call and came and gave a bid when no other tree company would. read more
