Elmer (and his crew) were great! They came in a the lowest of 3 bids. They came on time and did the job promptly. There were a few spots that my wife and I expected would look a little different. He finished the job while we were out, so I called him. He brought his crew back 2 days later and went over what we we wanted. One of the differences was that he trimmed a tree a little differently because he felt it was better for the health of the tree. We said we'd like it a different way for appearance, and they went ahead and did it they way we wanted (fingers crossed that the tree will be OK!). Will be using him in the future! read more

Jorge and two others did a really good job for us. They shaped the trees rather than just lowering their height and their price was very fair. Clean up was excellent and they were professional and pleasant. Would use them again no question. read more

Very happy to have my view back! EC was great to work with- starting with Irma on the phone, to Elmer (the boss) with a quote and on time and plan to have job done before Thanksgiving. The team showed up on time and worked efficiently to complete the job as specified. Then they cleaned up well, leaving us very satisfied. I recommend them highly. read more

So impressed with this company and the work they do. We shopped around for several estimates for having some trees removed on our property. EC trees was not only prompt in their communication but they gave us the most fair price and scheduled us in right away. They were easy to work with, knowledgeable and most importantly did INCREDIBLE WORK. Special shout out to Juan Umaña, Cesar, and David for their hard work and professionalism. The yard looks spectacular. Recommend EC trees for all of your needs. We will definitely be using them again!! read more

We have several down trees during the storm in March 2023. We have several quotes and EC's bid was reasonable. Everything was professionally handled, from quoting to setting job appointment to the actual work and billing. We work from home and was concerned with noise. But it turned out they were very quite, clean and didn't interrupt us at all. Very please with the results. Highly recommend! read more

We had 14 Eucalyptus trees that were eligible to be cut without permits due to fire hazards and within 100 feet of a residence. Elmer Cano, the owner came over and inspected the job and gave me a reasonable price for removal and cleanup. I needed additional visits for him to meet and talk to my neighbors about potential issues. My house has a huge downhill yard with steep inclines making cut tree debris to be hand carried over 100 to 200 feet uphill. His crew was efficient, mindful of my property and excellent workers. I started with a crew of 6 workers most returned during the 3 weeks. At times there were 12 workers loading 3 trucks with tree cuttings. I had 5 quotes, 2 were outrageous. I felt the most comfortable with the knowledge and ability to get the job done quickly, safely, and as promised by Elmer and his crew at EC Tree Service. If you need any tree work give them a call. You won't regret having them take care of your tree issue. read more

Elmer and his team did a fantastic and super fast job trimming our trees. I reached out for an estimate on Thursday, and trees were trimmed by Monday! They were super efficient, communicative, and made our overgrown trees very tidy! read more

This was my first experience with tree removal and I would definitely recommend EC Tree Service. I called and got an appointment right away. They came on time and gave me a quote immediately along with all their insurance paperwork. When the day came, they took down about 12 trees with zero debris. My neighbors came by and were blown away by how fast they worked and how clean they left my property and the street. read more

EC Tree Service came out on the night of New Year's Eve, which was a Saturday to boot, after a heavy rain blew a tree down and blocked the entire driveway and sidewalk to an apartment building. They got a crew out there working through the dark of the evening and had the huge tree removed before New Year's. The final stump was ground and gone by the afternoon of the next day. Amazing! read more

EC Tree Service did a great job removing a tree that fell on my house after a recent storm. The tree fell on a Saturday and they were able to come the very next morning even though it was a holiday. All of the workers were polite, professional, did their jobs well, and cleaned up after themselves. Elmer, the owner of the company, promised that his workers would make it look like there was never a tree there in the first place and they delivered. The company, which is licensed and insured, was also the most reasonably priced of the three bids I got before hiring them. I just got the invoice and there were no surprises - the estimate he gave was what they charged me. All in all, I am a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend EC Tree Service. read more

Great price very nice people I got 3 trees removed and one bush trimmed back they were done in a hour very good job and cleaned up everything. read more

EC and his crew are top notch professionals! From the quote process, reasonable pricing, help with the permit with the city, etc. For the actual work, they arrived on time, were extremely considerate to not damage any of the surrounding trees and shrubs when they removed a large sycamore tree (tying off each branch they cut down and carefully lowered them). They even cleverly thought of shielding my water feature from flying chips when they expertly ground the stump down! They cleaned up everything and left no trace they were here. In fact, cleaner than when they arrived! read more

With the BIG RAIN finally slowing, I have to say I am really alarmed at the "down MEGA TREES" within our coastal area of Montara down to Half Moon Bay, California. In case you want to know about a company that I highly recommend to help during this crazy time, it is EC Tree Service in Los Altos, CA. The owner is Elmer Cano, and his Office Manager " extraordinaire " is Irma. Sharing my experience might cut down on your research in 2023. In late 2022, I was concerned with the enormous pine trees in my backyard. One hanging over my garage and one over my house. The other four pine trees also concerned me. All six looked distressed and diseased. ( Initially, I was just going to cut down two trees and requested bids) I solicited three bids. EC Tree Service was in line, price-wise, with the other two companies. I hired EC Tree Service over the others because they provided a copy of their business license, proof of insurance, and their Worker's Comp Insurance with their bid. (Whereas other bidders only submitted their business license and proof of insurance.) I checked all three bidder's via phone to make sure they had current business licenses and current insurance policies. The only company that was "current" with their business license and insurance was EC Tree Service. Also, they were the only bidder that had Workers Comp Insurance. (State Compensation in San Francisco usually handles this for California and proved to be helpful to me) The Workers Comp Insurance not only protects workers, but it also protects you as a homeowner and your neighbor's property. as well. EC Tree Service Owner, Elmer Cano, listened to me (I like this) and came up with a plan to not only cut the two trees down but also remove the bad deck in the backyard, an old hot tub, weed whack the backyard, and shaped two small trees. His pricing for this extra service was super reasonable. When the project started, his company was on time each morning, which I feel is important. Also, Elmer assigned a Crew Leader, who worked with me to let me know what his staff was doing next. What a great team, with extreme efficiency. ( FYI, the owner checked in with me by phone and in person during the two projects.) Talk about lots of big trucks for EC Tree! One truck would leave with tree rounds and chips absolutely full, and another huge truck pulled in. I think I saw at least three trucks per day. Also, the crew delighted many neighbors with a climber up a huge pine tree and staff below supporting him... Fun to watch. Who needs a tree crane? Honestly, I was so impressed by this work, I decided to take the remaining four trees down. No surprise, the second project went great. I am so relieved...With this 2023's giant storm happening on the coast, just a few months after EC Tree took my six pine trees down, I did not have trees to worry about. I absolutely feel blessed that my pine trees did not hurt anyone or their home. Every person from the Owner, Elmer Cano, to the Office Manager, Irma, and finally, to the crew, exceeded my expectation. They got the job right and I am lucky to have found them. Kathy M Montara, CA PS. FYI, I didn't escape damage from the 2023 storms-- EC Tree is coming back this weekend to remove my heavy gate and part of the fence that came down. Sorry If I went on and on about EC Tree. It makes me feel good to have a bunch of super people helping us on the coast! read more

Ultra impressed with Elmer the owner, Geronimo who was the crew head, and Irma from the office. Elmer gave us a very competitive bid, while also demonstrating his expertise. He also was up front with the fact that getting a tree removal permit was going to be a rough process, and it certainly was! Irma gracefully navigated the dungeon that is the county bureaucracy during covid. It's with her persistence that the county even did its job a month after the permit should have issued automatically. Geronimo was personable, knowledgeable, and tackled a brutal job with enthusiasm and professionalism. If anyone within their service range needed trees to remove for any reason, I could not recommend EC Tree Service highly enough. read more

EC Tree Serv. is an exceptional company. Incredibly efficient, and very reasonably priced. The crew is prompt, polite and, quiet - no yelling instructions. After cutting down a huge Cedar and trimming my hedge, they left my yard cleaner than they found it. I have already recommended them to several friends. read more

These guys are great. Very professional, tidy and efficient. I will absolutely be using them again the future. Highly recommended.

Would highly recommend EC Tree Service as they were efficient, prompt, and did a great job trimming, thinning and raising the canopy of my large oak tree. They did a thorough job cleaning up also. Jarvis responded quickly when I requested a quote and he came out within a few days. I was able to schedule the job within a couple weeks. Ender and his crew showed up on time and did a fantastic job trimming my tree and cleaning up afterwards. The job took a full day but my oak tree looks terrific! Price was very reasonable and fair. I would definitely use EC Tree Service again! read more

I have never had a better experience with any service company. I sent an email request on a weekend and the service was completed the following Friday. It could have been sooner but I wasn't available until Thursday for the estimate to be done. Really nice staff, efficient and quick work, done exactly to my specifications. I only wished I had asked for more! I recommend EC Tree Service unconditionally. read more

I had an Oak tree fall on my gate on a Sunday morning. I called three or four tree services companies and EC Builders was the only company that responded. They had it all cleaned up within a couple of hours for a very fair price. I highly recommend them! read more

Fantastic service and reasonably priced. I had a great experience with this team and highly recommend their services. I called with an urgent issue (unsafe tree) and they sent out their CEO immediately to check out the situation and they were prepared to come out as early as the next day to work on the tree. After the work, I received a very thoughtful email from the CFO checking in on the end result. Very impressive. The contractor involved mentioned that other tree companies weren't able to come out for months and were twice the price! I am so thankful that one of our neighbors recommended EC. read more

Elmer and team came to trim trees, bushes, shrubs today. They went the extra mile and made myself and also my neighbors very happy with their work. Elmer is very knowledgeable about trees and needed care. Would highly recommend! Thank you again! read more
