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.

With the strong storm winds we had, a large tree branch fell on our roof on Christmas Eve. We…read morecontacted EC Tree Service for emergency removal and trimming, and they were absolutely fantastic. Even though it was Christmas Day, Elmer showed up within 30 minutes and provided an extremely fair and honest estimate. His crew arrived about 30 minutes later and completed the job promptly and professionally. They were very careful with our clay tile roof while removing the large branch and also took the time to prune all the weak branches from the tree to prevent future issues. Everything was done safely, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with them during a stressful situation, and I truly appreciated their responsiveness and professionalism--especially on a holiday. I would highly recommend EC Tree Service to anyone in need of tree work.

The crew was timely (we agreed at 11am start time and they arrived at 10:45am), properly assessed the scope of work, was extremely careful and cut down the tree branch by branch as means to not damage any surrounding houses, cars, structures. They cleaned up all of the debris after the work was done. Their prices are extremely competitive. I had 3 quotes for the tree removal and they were the most competitive and the quality of service they provided is well worth the money! I highly recommend Joel's tree service if you need trimming and removal!

Jarvis and team are awesome, and I would highly recommend them for any tree work you might have…read more They removed several small to medium trees, trimmed back a couple others, and shaped a large hedge on our property. The team worked quickly, carefully, and when the time they were done, cleaned up so well, you could hardly tell they were here. The above is table stakes and what I was hoping for, but this team went above and beyond that: (1) They accommodated my request to wait until the weather cooled to trim our mature trees. This meant waiting a couple months. (2) Jarvis himself did the most challenging parts of the job. (For other companies, the person selling the work is not the same as the person doing it.). We weren't confident about some of the work we were asking for and whether we would regret cutting too much m, so he checked in with us often, letting us evolve our asks as we saw the work take shape. (3) In addition, we added / modified some scope, but Jarvis graciously added it in to the original estimate as opposed to nickel and diming us. Overall, great team, great communication, great work. The least I could do is leave them this review!
