We have a few ~300 year old oaks in our yard and the largest one lost two very very large branches, it was likely our fault as we were a bit overdue for a trim. The branches that fell were enormous and flattened a few chairs but all else was ok. A friend gave us a quote for someone who he said was inexpensive to remove the branches and two suggestions for arborists including Quality. First I had the cheaper person come over to give a quote on removal and he admitted he was not an arborist but said the tree was diseased and we should remove it, I was shocked the tree had a lot of new growth, a ton of green leaves/acorns and looked perfect healthy, it had not even occurred to us we would need to remove it. Then he eyed another one of our Oaks and said we should cut that one down too it looked diseased. Joe came by a few hours later, said both trees were perfectly healthy and immediately gave me a quote for removal of the branches and some heavy trimming. It was not cheap but worth it to keep a 300++ year old tree. He also did it almost immediately - the day after our quote, he said he was booked 3 weeks out but left some spots for emergencies. I have other tree work we need to do and will call on them again, I know I am getting quality work. The crew came with masks and worked efficiently, also cleaned some of the leaves that were in our pool. Great work! read more

Quality Tree Care is really an amazing company. Joe was super nice to work with and he is obviously an expert in his field. We had them remove a HUGE multi branched redwood tree and grind the gigantic stumps. Joe brought a crane in to do the job and his crew worked like an orchestra to get the tree down. They are fast, friendly, clean and polite to the neighbors! read more

Nice workers and great work. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a tree service.

Best tree pruning company ever; QUALITY TREE CARE. I just hired them to prune four trees on my property, plus some tree branches hanging over my fence from outside, and remove the debris. This company is the best; best price, best service, best follow-up on any concerns, best in resolving any issues regarding their work. Joe Mattos is a certified arborist and is the owner of the company. He promptly contacted me by phone during the course of the work, in response to some concerns I had. I could tell he cares about the reputation of his company. Additionally, his crew quickly returned after I noticed a few branches that needed to be cut a little shorter. I'd already paid them by that time. If not for their great customer care, they could have just put me off and forgot about it. Quality Tree Care has several great reviews on Yelp, which is what prompted me to contact them. I'm very grateful for the fine job they did on my trees. I'd hire them again in a second, and strongly encourage everyone to contact them for their tree pruning needs. They also do land clearing, property clean-up, and stump grinding. QUALITY TREE CARE, 925-689-8733. Located in Pleasant Hill, they serve several bay area communities. read more

I called owner Joe Mattos to come out and trim a couple of branches and get his advice. We had a walk through and then the next day two workers, Roger and Fernando, came out. After talking with me, Roger mentioned he saw I liked things to look natural. I thought they would stay one hour and instead stayed most of the day. I left for several hours. When I came home, the workers were gone and right away I saw that everything had been cleaned up. I was shocked at the difference in my house both inside and out. I had gotten used to more of a funky look outside. Roger and Fernando opened everything up yet kept the natural look. I did a double take when I came into my home and saw the difference. At first I didn't know what happened and then realized the natural light was coming in. Seriously my house looks like it had a makeover. read more

I've used Quality Tree Care twice on our home now. Both times there was a bit of wait due to lead times; probably due to their fair pricing, politeness of the crew, attention to detail, and quality work. On our most recent job a large silver maple and it's trunk needed to be removed from close proximity to the house. It was cold and raining, and I was worried about our new lawn being damaged by heavy foot traffic and machinery, or a limb falling on the house. When Quality Tree Care arrived the five (5) workers laid 12 sheets of 3/4 inch plywood over the lawn to it. Limbs were lowered carefully as they were cut, and the crew immediately removed them from the area. When the crew left our yard, three hours later, it was completely free of debris, They also trimmed limbs from a large sycamore tree that were brushing against the power line to our house and blocking the street light. We are very pleased and will definitely contact Quality Tree Care for future work. Milt Rayford / Pleasant Hill CA read more

They were on time, cleaned everything up and were very courteous! I'll definitely be calling them again!

I don't Yelp often, but I felt I needed to today. The workers were polite, professional and did as their company name suggests: quality work. They cleared out 3 large Texas Privot trees and did an exceptional job. The trees were up against fences, but that didn't stop them from removing the stumps. I was surprised. That must have been difficult. They cleaned up after themselves and were careful not to tear out any drip hoses. Like ballerinas with chain saws. :) read more

Joe and his crew are fast, fair, clean and know how to make trees look great. Why call anyone else?

Extremely fair price for the amount of work they did. I had them out yesterday to take down four smaller trees with stump grinding, cut back an overgrown oak, and clear about three years worth of dead fronds on three palms. They put in several hours of work and left my yard clean and the trees look amazing. I am recommending them to all my neighbors, will be calling them for any future tree care needs. read more

Quality Tree Care did an amazing job for me. They promptly and efficiently helped me in a very stressful time. They also were very reasonably priced in a crisis situation where they could have exploited me with a higher price. I had a very large pine tree fall on both my house and a neighbor's house damaging both of our roofs among other things. It was also a dangerous tree removal situation. They promptly came out to give me an estimate, which I needed for my homeowners claim, and then also promptly executed the job with a high level of professionalism. After the crew completed the job they also cleaned up, leaving the area very clean. I rarely hire contractors to do work for me because I usually find them more concerned about money than quality, but I would highly recommend Quality Tree Care for others, and will use them again if the need arises. If you really knew me and how rarely I hire someone to do work for me (partly because I'm a perfectionist and have high expectations), you'd understand just how good this company is. read more

Joe and team did a great job removing two Monterey Pine trees from our backyard. I called on a Friday left a message and received a return call from Joe that afternoon. Scheduled an estimate the following Monday, Joe was on time, the estimate was emailed to me while we talked. After reviewing other quotes and choosing Quality Tree Care, Joe scheduled the removal for 3 days after I made my decision. Joe confirmed the night before the scheduled removal that his team led by Chris would arrive 0800 the next morning. The team was on time and immediately began setting up. Both trees were tricky in their own right, one dead the other very large (~65') with split and cracking limbs tucked into a back corner downslope of our lot. And the trees were situated near the fence intersection of all three adjoining neighbors. I worked from home the day the Quality Tree team came. My impression is that this is well run shop. On time, methodical, efficient, and safe are all adjectives that I saw the team embody. Both trees were down by noon. Chris departed but the rest of the team spent the afternoon chipping and cleaning up the site. I was extremely happy with the results. read more

This guy must be rolling in business and can't stand anymore. Why? Because when you call to find out information, he actually gets mad if you ask the wrong questions or don't have the exact information that he needs. Well, guess what Mister, if it is the first time you are going to have a bunch of trees cut down, how would you know what answers you should have had. You need to work on your social skills, as you are one of the rudest people we have ever talked to!!!!!! read more

I have several large oaks on my hillside property that were overgrown, dangerously heavy and hanging too close to the ground over open space grassland that connects to my property. These trees are so big along the property line that they would have been a wildfire conduit right to my house which sits right underneath them as well. Quality Tree Care was referred to me by another tree trimming company that didn't want the job because the trees and job were bigger than what they felt comfortable with. The crew at Quality came in and safely and carefully trimmed the trees to lift them to a fire safe level off the ground and remove the dangerous weight that was high in the trees. Not only do I feel that the trees are completely safe now, they are beautifully trimmed and now look symmetrically balanced too. Everything was completely cleaned up and they made sure I was completely satisfied with their job before they left. I will definitely use their service again and happily refer them to family & friends. I also felt the price was fair considering the large size of the job. Thank you Quality Tree Care!! read more

We are amazed and completely happy with the work from Quality Tree Care. Joe came out and gave us a quote and let us know that his guys could come out the following day and take care of our trees. His quote was given on the spot and was completely reasonable and the job done was incredible. Joe is a really nice guy who seemed to know exactly what to do. The guys came out and took care of the two trees that were originally discussed and when I realized I wanted more done, they were able to take care of that too. Our yard looked better when they left that it had before hand. They took the time to not only pick up the branches and pieces of trunk but they raked up all of the leaves that had gathered on the grass. After our tree stump was yanked out of the ground they filled in the hole. Having never worked with anyone in this industry we didn't expect it and are totally happy. I already have a friend who is eager to use them and I am looking forward to working with them again when we plant a new tree. read more

After talking to 4 different tree companies I chose to give Quality Tree Care my trust with 3 trees in my back yard. I am thrilled with my decision. The crew arrived on time, assessed the work to be done and discussed with me the plan in detail, then before I knew it two certified climbers has set up their gear and were working on my large ornamental pear tree, while another went to work on my two plums. I watched the entire process and was impressed with how the crew shaped, cut out dead wood unnecessary weight, preparing my tree for the next season, while maintaining it's shape and structure. Jose was the artist of the group and took pride in every cut he made. He assessed the job afterwards and made a few more last minute trims to complete the job. They followed safety procedures the entire time while their ground man cleaned and organized the job site throughout the job. The cleanup left my yard (and my neighbor's yard who was over hung by the Pear tree) just as clean as it was when they arrived. Joe's pricing was reasonable, and the results speak for themselves. I will use this company for my future trimming needs and my neighbors plan to as well. Thanks Joe to you and your crew. read more

Joe and his team did an awesome job in trimming my silver maple tree and trimming back my neighbors. Not only did they do a good job in trimming, they left me nothing to clean up. read more

Wow! Just had three trees taken down by this crew and am very impressed. They were competitively priced, they did the work when they said they would, nothing drug out, and they did a fabulous job of cleaning up. I will so continue to do business with them! read more

My 3rd time to use them and they consistently do excellent work. Roger and crew were on time, fast, clean, and gave professional advice. Gave the house a refreshed look for improved curb appeal. Will use them again in a heartbeat. read more

Joe did a fantastic job removing some filthy palm trees from my property. He offered a fair price and threw in a free trim on my oak tree in my front yard. I will definitely call on him again in the future. read more

I had some similar phone issues as indicated here - not especially timely turn around. On the other hand, I got a quote very quickly the day Joe came to my house, and it was lower than the other quote I got. His crew was timely and the work they did was great. It wasn't rocket science, just cutting some trees down and hauling them away. I wouldn't hesitate to call Quality Tree Care the next time I need help with trees. I can take the slow return phone calls when the price and quality are good. read more

Joe deserve 10*'s. VERY responsive, no nonsense, FAIR and easy to work with. Call him first and save yourself time. Our weeping willow tree was in dire shape and we did not want to cut it down. Joe listened, understood, and came up with a plan to save it. SO happy that he HEARS what people say and makes every effort to solve the problem. We recommend his company and his crew without hesitation!!! read more

Joe came out and gave us an estimate. He was very professional, Knowledgeable, and reasonably priced that we hired him on the spot. The workmen that came to do the work where very professional and amazingly fast to complete the work. Joe had told us which stumps would need poisoning before they could be ground. They even ground a few extra stumps from some bushes we had taken out at no extra charge when they came back to grind out the poisoned ones. I would highly recommend them. They did a great job and cleaned up nicely afterwards. read more

We just had two 50' high trees removed from our backyard in Alamo. The price was very competitive, the crew was courteous, thorough and neat. When the job was finished they asked me to inspect the results. I was very pleased and would recommend these folks for tree removal. read more

A friend strongly recommended I call Joe and his team when some branches from my big maple tree fell into a neighbor's yard. Joe responded and came out to give an estimate that same day. He and his team are very professional -- in how they communicate, their knowledge of tree pruning and maintenance, and in managing the work area involving 3 backyards. They finished on time and cleaned everything up nicely. I have confidence that our trees will be healthy and safe, thanks to their work. I can highly recommend them. read more

Joe is fabulous. Very quick to respond and very helpful! We called him to come check out a dying tree in our yard and he was there within 2 days, promptly helped us with the arborist report and removal application, we scheduled the work promptly and the crew was great. Another company we called told us they were scheduling work out into February (3-4 months away)!! The crew left our yard cleaner than it was before. Really glad we listened to these Yelp reviews and called Joe to help us remove our tree before El Niño hits! Highly recommend Joe & Quality Tree Care. read more

These guys were awesome! Instead of waiting until mid December to get an estimate from another local tree care service (which was their first available appointment) I got Joe to come for my estimate right away. Price was right, they were able to come do the work right away, and the job was done just as requested for the price quoted. They did a great job on everything and did an awesome job on cleaning up when they were done. They exceeded my expectations. Nice folks and they really did a great job. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of this kind of service. read more

I recently called Quality Tree to remove some big pampas grass. Joe came very quickly and gave a quote that was much lower than the other person I called. We scheduled the job quickly and he sent a 4-man crew who got it done in a little over an hour! They were very professional and did a great job cleaning up. Highly recommended. read more

Great service. They came and cut down my oak tree in one day. They also cut up the wood into firelog size pieces so I can split it this summer. Great price too compared to the other tree services around here. They were also very helpful in obtaining the city permits to cut it down. read more

Joe was at my house within 15 minutes of calling him to give me an estimate after a HUGE pine tree fell in our yard onto our deck and porch. He gave me a hand-written estimate that day and said he could do the job that week. It fell on a Monday and Joe's (professional & experienced) crew was there at 9:00 a.m. Thursday morning. They were there until 5:30 and if I hadn't been there the majority of the day, I would never had known they had been there (except for the missing tree, of course!). They swept, blew and moved everything back to where it had been. They were very careful about protecting the front lawn from heavy equipment and branches, too. Also, the price was right - VERY reasonable. I have already recommended Joe's company to friends! read more

Joe came out and did another smaller job at my house last month, removing some very ugly and overgrown bushes/hedges along my property line. Work was done very quickly and exactly as we had requested. read more

Joe & his team are very knowledgeable & professional !! They do great work - quickly, at reasonable prices & they left my yard cleaner than it before! They went above & beyond the work I requested, making me a very happy customer :-) read more

These guys are amazing!! Not only was their pricing great, but the crew was fantastic. In less than a day they removed 2 giant redwoods, a birch, pruned/cleaned another 8 trees and when they were done, it didn't even look like any work took place - the clean-up was perfect!! I don't typically write reviews, but as far as contractors go, these guys were the best. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again. read more

Was recommended to Quality Tree Care by another tree service and told to contact Joe (owner). Joe was prompt in calling me back to schedule an appointment for a proposal for the work needed (which is the only reason I'm giving them 1 star) and gave us competitive pricing compared to some of the other companies I had called. When I contacted him to schedule a day for completing the work he didn't have his schedule with him and asked if he could call me back. Joe never called me back so I emailed and called him a second time in attempts to schedule a date. Again I was told he didn't have his schedule with him and that he'd call me that evening. It's now been almost a week since we've last spoken and needless to say I never received a call back. As I am typing this review I received a missed phone call from Joe who wanted to come to our house tomorrow to do the work... too bad I've already had another company come out and complete the work. Guess Quality Tree didn't need the work all that badly! Definitely would not recommend Quality Tree Care.. save yourself the headache and work with a company who actually knows how to run a business and get the job done. read more

We hired Quality Tree Care to remove two 65 ft plus tall, Monterey pine trees that were on their way out and a risk to nearby neighbors. Before hiring anyone, we checked each vendor's credentials with the California State Licensing Board. We learned that in order to remove large trees, which is a very high risk endeavor, the contractor must have a contractor's license with the CSLB, and also must have an approved classification of D49, which means they have a license to safely remove trees (many landscape companies are not licensed to remove trees). Also, the contractor must be bonded, have current insurance and workers compensation insurance, which protects the home owner should any mishaps happen while providing service. We found that almost all the small owned businesses were not licensed to do this work, and did not have workers compensation. The large businesses did have right credentials. We compared Joe's pricing to the larger vendors, and because his was a bit lower, and he could start on the projects sooner we hired Joe. We were completely satisfied with the service and clean-up his company provided. We will be hiring Joe for more tree trimming in the future and highly recommend him. read more

I have hired Joe and Quality Tree Care twice over the last several years. Joe was recommended to my by my friend and neighbor three and 1/2 years ago, after we had a horrible wind and rain storm and one of my very large live oak trees fell into my neighbor's yard. I had two other tree companies come and give me quotes and Joe was the least expensive and he also could be there the next day to cut the tree up and clean up the mess that the fallen oak had left behind. His crew did a great job. After the great experience I had before, I have just hired him again to cut down 5 large pine trees that were beginning to die and to trim back and shape several live and white oak trees and removed all the undergrowth in my back yard and along the hillside behind my house. The men he has working for him are wonderful. They cleaned up all of the branches and the yard looks like a park now. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants "quality" work done. read more

Quality Tree Care removed three tall Cedar Deodars and trimmed two others on the uphill side of our property very close to the fence. They protected the fence with three large pieces of plywood and managed to work around two bird houses that were mounted near by. Joe helped us evaluate the options (trim, remove or a combination) and his team of five men were on time, polite and amazingly skilled. It was a pleasure to watch them handle such a difficult job and actually manage to be cheerful as they worked. We had four estimates, all of them were within $500 of each other. We selected Quality for three reasons: 1) they were able to grind the tree stumps using a small grinder, other companies indicated it would be too difficult to use their large grinders on the hillside; 2) we checked the Contractor's State License Board and Quality was licensed, bonded and had worker's comp; 3) their price was one of the lowest. The stump grinder broke down and as promised, they returned two days later to finish the job. We'd hire them again in a minute and our neighbors are lining up as well. read more

we hired joe mattos of quality tree care to do a large job consisting of lots of delayed maintenance-multiple large dead trees + pruning many other trees and some stump removals. joe is a certified arborist and we found him quite knowledgeable where our trees were concerned. the price he gave us was fair for the scope of the work. his crew showed up on time, worked all day, and cleaned up afterward so that we almost couldn't tell they were there. the job they did was exceptional. they also did a few extra things for us without charge. overall extremely happy with the service we received, and could not recommend them higher. we will certainly be calling them again. read more

I contacted Joe Mattos for an estimate to cut some cypress trees in my yard. He came out a few days later and gave me a fair estimate. Within the next few days Roger and Fernando came out to do the work and they did the most beautiful job on my trees possible. They worked most of the day and cleaned up not only my yard but my neighbor's. They went next door and talked to him and asked if it was okay to come over to clean up some branches. They did an outstanding job. I called Joe the next day and left a message commending the job they did. They are quiet, clean and systematic. Joe knows his work and so do his crew. Absolutely use this company. They are wonderful and know their trees. My compliments to Roger as well. He went above and beyond to do what was necessary to make my trees look beautiful. Thank you all. I will be calling you back when I need more tree cutting/trimming. Great, great company. Jay Bonelli read more
