We recently hired Bay Area Tree Care Inc. for vegetation management and hillside cleanup in Pinole,…read moreand I truly cannot say enough good things about Fernando and his crew. From start to finish, Fernando was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The crew showed up early to make sure they could start as close to 8:00 AM as possible, which I really appreciated. Everyone was extremely friendly, professional, and respectful throughout the entire process. We had a steep hillside with a lot of overgrown ivy, lower shrubs, and areas that needed cleanup, including the patio area, along with selective tree pruning. I was very clear that I did not want the hillside overly cleared or stripped, as keeping the ecosystem intact was important to me, and Fernando listened carefully to exactly what I wanted. The crew worked incredibly efficiently, did an excellent job clearing the underbrush and ivy while preserving the natural feel of the hillside, hauled everything away, and left the entire property -- including the patio -- immaculate. It's hard to find companies that are this reliable, communicative, and respectful of your wishes. Fernando and his team delivered excellent work at a fair price, and I would absolutely hire them again!

We have worked with Fernando for 15 years and they have always done great work. This past week we…read morehad a dangerous situation where a large branch fell very close to our backyard patio - Fernando had 4 men out to work on the trees within a few days and they really worked hard and trimmed a lot from our backyard trees.

I've never left a bad review before. I generally don't like negatively impacting a business, and I…read morealways prefer to give someone the opportunity to make things right. Unfortunately, after multiple chances, I feel completely disrespected by my experience with Cal Line Tree Service. We had a stump in front of our house, so I contacted Cal Line and Alejandro sent me an estimate right away. The price was great and the reviews looked good, so I decided to move forward. Before agreeing to the job, I specifically asked whether the work would damage our sidewalks because we had just paid to have them redone. I was told not to worry because they wouldn't damage them. From the beginning, the communication was frustrating. They gave me a time to show up and didn't. Eventually, a worker arrived and began grinding the stump with a large machine. While my girlfriend was home, she repeatedly heard rocks and debris hitting the windows. I immediately contacted Alejandro, but he assured me not to worry and said the job was done. When I got home, I was shocked by the condition of the property. There was roughly a foot of mulch covering the entire area, far beyond where the stump had been. I started cleaning it up myself and filled a green waste bin, with plenty more still left to remove. That's when I discovered the damage. The newly redone sidewalk had chunks missing from it. The EBMUD box and its brand-new lid had also been completely destroyed. I was extremely concerned because, as far as I could tell, there had been no proper utility-location process before the work was done. Had a utility line been hit, the consequences could have been far more serious. I contacted Alejandro and told him this was unacceptable. He said he would send someone out to clean everything up. Once again, they didn't show when they said they would. When someone finally came out and started removing the waste, we discovered that the stump hadn't even been removed below sidewalk level. I had specifically been told it would be taken approximately two feet down so we could eventually plant another tree. Alejandro acknowledged my disappointment and said he would come back and make it right. The same worker eventually returned--again, not at the time promised. Unfortunately even more damage was done to the sidewalk. This time, debris and waste were also spread throughout my lawn, burying plants in the process.Once again, I came home and had to clean up their mess myself. At this point, Alejandro has repeatedly told me he wants to make things right, but despite multiple opportunities, he has not followed through. No meaningful repair, no call, and no appearance. Mistakes can happen in any business. What matters is how you handle them afterward. I gave this company several opportunities to correct the problems, and instead I've been left with property damage, additional cleanup, damaged landscaping, and a job that wasn't completed as promised.

We had a huge weeping willow tree that was nearing the end of its life and was hanging over both my…read morehouse and my neighbors. We also had some very tall oaks that needed to be trimmed back. Jose came out and was extremely conscientious and discussed ways we could keep the willow if we wanted. He even gave us different quotes to reflect our options. We decided removal was the best choice, and he was flexible in his quote to come closer to other companies I spoke with. The crew arrived right on time and were extremely efficient. I was worried the willow would be difficult to safely take down, but they were very safe in climbing the tree. They also cut the oaks completely back from hanging over our roof, and ground multiple stumps we had around our yard. They were finished in less than 5 hours and cleaned the worksite very well - they even cleared a brush pile we had from some trimming we had done ourselves the week before. I'm very pleased with the work Madriz did, and would absolutely use them again. We have a lot of future projects in mind that they would be a great fit for.

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.
