Time to edit yesterday's yelp. Roman's was a bit slow on their proposal. Yet since they undercut their competitor's bid a bit, we'll go with them. read more

I saw Roman's staff trimming across to my neighbor's orange tree , and they did very good job at there, so I asked them to do my backyard grapefruit tree to trim. They did beautiful job and their price is very reasonable. I am very picky, but they made no mess after that, they did very clean job as well. Now, I am very happy seeing nice trimmed my backyard trees. Thank you Romans' team staff! read more

I had this neighbor once who cut down all his trees and his yard was all stumps. It was not very feng shui but he never got a text while at work asking him if he knew a tree was down in his yard. A big tree. That happened to me last week. I immediately called Roman's tree service. They were responsive, sympathetic to the fact that it was an emergency (no damage but the neighbors weren't talking to me), and got the tree removed quickly. They even emptied my green waste bin. Besides their speedy service, I have to say they are very clean. They are like ninjas. You would never know that there was a tree down or any debris- really good clean up. The neighbors still aren't talking to me but if they ever ask me who to use for tree service, I will direct them to Roman's. read more

I called at least 10 tree service companies and had them out for estimates including several that I previously worked with these guys were GREAT. * Timely * Good/fair pricing * Treated me and my property respectfully * Did a professional job--shaped trees correctly * Plus they sent a thank you note! read more

We used Roman's Tree Service twice now for removing and trimming our trees after a big storm. They were fast,courteous and accommodating. They also trimmed the dead limbs out of almost every tree on our property and our neighbors property. They followed up about their service as well when I needed additional help to pass inspection for housing. I will always use Roman Tree Service. Its always good to know you have someone that is reliable and you can count on. read more

I'm not a huge reviewer but I had to write this one after the excellent job they did trimming the trees on my parents' property. Their prices were extremely reasonable, especially considering they are ISA certified, insured, and bonded. They really knew their stuff, too, and were able to trim down a huge oak tree while keeping it looking natural. My parents were impressed with their professionalism, and couldn't recommend them enough. read more

We have hired Romans many years over the past 10 to routinely trim our trees/shrubs and special tree removal projects. The first couple of times we were thrilled with their service, work and cleanliness. Over the years that started to decline. The last two years cleanup was a bit messy and last year they missed one tree to be removed and refused to return to finish the job. We were surprised and disappointed. Not sure what the issue was but we decided to change to another and couldn't be happier about the decision. read more

These guys are great. Very professional. Licensed, bonded and insured. They show up when they say they will show up, work quickly and efficiently and give a competitive price. They're very nice, too. They took down our three dying pine trees and ground the stumps in a really short time. We've used other services, but these guys are so much better. Talk to Nelzon if you call them (925-396-1018). read more

We had a eucalyptus bough come down in a storm, and we called Roman's to check it out and offer advice. Their advice was in line with two others, but their pricing was better. They arrived when they said, did the work, cleaned up and were a pleasure to work with. We'll have them back if the need arises, without hesitation. read more

We had a large 75 year old, Monterey pine that was basically on its last limbs. We called Roman's Tree Service, and three other companies. Roman's quotes came in mid range of all the others, so based on their timely response and the fact that they are insured and bonded, we went with Romans. They completed the huge job in one day, hauled the debris and the area was clean when they left. Our field rep was Nelzon Catellanos, great to work with, no sales pitch, no pressure and to the point. read more

They do what they say they are going to do for a fair price! Have used them 2x, once to remove a dead tree and another time for a general yard prune and groom. They are my go-to tree service. read more

Very, very professional and highly recommended. My husband and I did research on a few businesses that could cut down two sappy tress for us, that were damaging our property and all of these places were around $1200-$1400. We began to get discouraged, but when Roman's Tree Services came out, the gave us a good price that we could not refuse. Not only were the quick, they took their time to perfect their job and did an excellent job cleaning up the mess, especially on our very active street. If your looking for a company to cut down or maintenance trees on your property that will also clean up when their done, I would highly recommend. Their prices are very fair, with a free consultation. read more

Very good service and fair prices. Trimmed four of my trees in Walnut Creek and did a great job. They work hard, do what they say they will do and clean up at the end of the job. I did get several estimates and they were the best. Nelson ran the crew with his brother Johnny doing the high climbing. Will use them again. read more

We recently used Romans Tree Service to trim & thin out our Redwood tree. They covered our pool & our neighbors, left everything immaculate when finished and our Tree looks Great!! Highly recommend! read more

We had great success with Roman's Tree Service in the past when they removed an old pine tree for us. We decided to use them again, this time to trim an overgrown, mature Dutch Elm tree in our backyard. Erick Roman, a very professional arborist, came out to size up the job and to provide us with a very reasonable estimate. His crew came out a couple of weeks later to do the day-long job. His main tree cutter, Jose, did a marvelous job of trimming and shaping our tree. His clean-up crew also did a wonderful job of picking up and cleaning our yard after the job was done. I found their entire crew to be courteous, professional, and hardworking. Our backyard looks so "open" now with abundant sunlight streaming through the less dense Dutch Elm. Our yard and deck are now so bright, and our dog also loves the openness to lounge around the yard. We are truly impressed with Roman's Tree Service! read more

We've used Roman's twice now, to prune the gigantic Podacarpus in our back yard. The tree is on the lot line so we share the cost with our neighbors, and Roman's did more work for them. They are professional, economical and tidy! We are all very happy and will continue to use them. read more

I have used Romans for several years, based on the recommendation of a neighbor. They do excellent work and are very moderately priced. They know their trees and won't recommend cutting trees and bushes at the wrong time of the year. I won't actually trust anyone else with the trees on my property. If that isn't enough, they are incredibly polite and easy to work with. They clean up after the work is done to the point that you're not sure they were even there, except for the pruned trees. Fabulous company and hard working employees. read more

Roman's tree service has done several jobs for me. They are safe, efficient, fare priced and on time. I have recommended them to other friends and family members. They came recommended to me by a close friend who owns a Landscape Design firm and I am grateful for that referral! You will be too. read more

Awesome job as always. The workers are very polite and do a great job, they have removed trees, trimmed trees, and ground stumps for us and always leave the place cleaner then it was before they got there. I wouldn't think of using any other company to take care of my trees. read more

Erick's crew did a great job removing a couple of large Oak trees that were inches away from my home. They were careful not to damage the roof and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. I had a couple of minor things I wanted addressed after the job was completed, and Erick took care of them the same day I brought them up. I thought that was very good customer service. His prices are also very reasonable. read more

Our neighbor's tree fell into our backyard two days ago. Created a lot damage and debris. Not to mention half of the tree was still hanging precariously over our bedroom. I called Roman's Tree Service and they stopped the project they were working on to handle our emergency the same day. Erick has been so great to work with and came onsite to oversee the job several times. He made a very stressful, chaotic incident feel under control again. Our family's safety was put first. America, the scheduler, has been great about calling us back promptly and very nice to work with as well. We'll be having them return this summer to remove two pines on our property. Had other quotes for pines and Roman's is lowest. read more

Professional, excellent tree trimming, provided recommendations and really listened to my concerns about my trees.

These guys are a class act! From the estimate to the job to the cleanup - the staff were very professional. We had a 50 foot Monterey Pine removed and were a little nervous about the operation. However, Franklin's team did a tremendous job and handled it without a problem. They even cut up some of the wood for my neighbors. Highly recommend. read more

During the height of the California wildfires, red flag alerts were issued throughout the east Bay warning of high fire danger, excessive smoke and recommendations on limiting the use of equipment that can cause sparks. Despite this, Roman's Tree Service spent the day at an unoccupied house across the street from ours cutting down a large tree. The company was unresponsive when we called the office and spoke with one of the crew on site. These alerts are advisory, not mandatory, but with out-of-control wildfires burning half our state it seemed highly irresponsible for a tree service company to be working with multiple chain saws. Perhaps people will keep this in mind when choosing a tree service in the future. read more

I had an apple tree stump in my back yard that needed removal. These guys came by exactly at the appointed time. Unfortunately, because of the location of the stump they could not do the job, but they told me immediately and were professional about it. I recommend them if your job can be handled by their grinding machinery...I'm sure they are excellent at pruning and emergency removal as well. read more

I can't say enough good things about Roman's Tree Service, a family-owned business in the East Bay. We live on a hillside property populated with a number of very tall Monterey Cypress and Monterey Pine trees. Over the years, we've had Roman's come out half a dozen times to do tree pruning, thinning, topping, and in some cases, removal. I've always dealt with Nelzon Castellanos, a very pleasant, accommodating fellow, who I understand is related to the owner. Best of all is their prices. Roman's price almost always is significantly below their competitors' prices. Honestly, even with all the money we've spent with Roman's, I can't think of a single complaint. A good company. read more

Romans Tree Service just completed a 2 day job at our property in Lafayette-- 4 big valley oaks, 2 clusters of redwoods, and several other small items. Erick was wonderful to work with, from the bidding process all the way through job completion. He and his great crew involved me in several of the aesthetic decisions-- offering cut by cut guidance in some of the tricky situations. I can't express how happy I am with the result-- our property looks so beautiful now! (And yes, the clean-up was meticulous!) I will have him back in the future, no question! read more

Had several estimates done, Erick provided a fair estimate the "first" time, and there were no hidden costs that "later" developed. He and his employees were courteous and professional, cleaning up the debris when the job was done. The work was scheduled for a time and date, and completed ahead of schedule, with the service being done promptly. Very satisfied, would hire again. read more

EXCELLENT COMPANY! We highly recommend them! Better than 5 stars! We recently bought a fixer with a whole bunch of trees and bushes on the property that needed to go. They gave us a competitive bid; in fact we added another section of removal to the bid since we could afford to do it. The day of removal they were prompt and professional and did an AMAZING job! They worked really hard, did a great clean up job and knew what they were doing. They removed 7 very tall cypress trees by trimming them down into toothpicks and pulling out the trunks- truly difficult work they made seem effortless. They also trimmed a huge redwood, lemon and avocado trees, and removed countless chunks of overgrown rosemary and evergreen bushes. We are absolutely thrilled with the job they did. We plan on hiring them again when we are ready for the next phase and highly recommend them! read more

Thanks to Yelp I was able to do my research before selecting an company to come and cut some critical branches. After further due diligence with 3 quotes I found Roman to be the most cost-effective and I was also impressed most with his customer service. He showed up when he said he would, he provided an estimate quickly and stuck to it. His team showed up on time as we'd agreed and they were polite and efficient. The guys followed his instruction, were very careful around my sprinker heads in the lawn and even moved some potted plants so they wouldn't be harmed. They did a GREAT job and tidied up so well you'd barely know they were there. Next time I need some trimming done I'll go right to Roman's. read more

They have amazing group of people...very nice and quick. The price was very reasonable. Highly recommend them. read more

We had several trees and very large oleanders to have removed in 2018. Romans came highly recommended by a friend who I knew was particular about his yard and was happy with Romans' work. I called initially for an estimate and Erik returned my call on the same day. His estimate was very fair and chose Romans from many competitors. We're very happy we did as all the tree removal was done in a timely, clean and thorough manner. Whenever I have called Romans with a question or stump concern, they have responded with great follow-through. We will always call Romans for our tree needs and highly recommend them! read more

Ericks crew has worked on our property a couple of times. Super professional crew, very reasonable. Recommend very highly! They are busy and you may have to plan ahead of time. Thanks for the great work Romans Tree Service! read more

I recently used Roman's Tree Service to remove a twenty foot bay tree and trim a wild plum tree. They also trimmed an ornamental Japanese maple. I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Roman's. The owner, Erick Roman, arrived at the property to provide an estimate. After surveying the needed work he provided a complete written proposal which included his proof of liability and workers' comp insurance printed out from the mobile office that he carries in his truck. He also included the date and time his employees would be there and their names. Both men, Jose and Oscar, arrived on time and did an outstanding job of cutting and clearing. Access to both trees was on a hillside and difficult but the workers made it look easy. They also thoroughly cleaned up the area and disposed of the debris that was generated. When I got home from work the yard was so clean I couldn't tell that they had been there. Another reason that leads me to recommend Roman's without reservation is that Erick is a certified arborist and his expertise and knowledge were extremely helpful in diagnosing problems I am having with an ornamental. Finally, his prices are competitive. I found Roman's tree service from a favorable review in Consumer's Checkbook Magazine. I believe in the value of the Yelp community and would like to spread the word. read more

We had them do a sizable job and were very happy with the results. The crew even ground a few extra stumps that had been left by the previous owners.The yard was left in immaculate condition - you wouldn't know anyone had been doing work there. Highly recommended. read more

After searching for a tree company and reading up the reviews on Yelp, I decided to call Roman's Tree Service for a quote. Erick came on time for the appointment and was able to give me an estimate on the spot. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I was asking him all kind of questions about trees and he was nice enough to answer every one of them without rushing to his next appointment. Once his crew came on site, they did a great job at my property. They cut down 3 old pine trees (maybe 50' - 60' high) and pruned back a large maple tree. This was no easy task, as I have a fence, wood deck and my neighbor trees next to or beneath those trees. They took their time and were very careful with the entire job. . I am glad that I got Roman's Tree Service to do this job! read more

I'm disappointed to write this review, but I'm also deeply disappointed not to work with this company. Erick came out and looked at my trees, and gave me some great suggestions for supporting some very stressed trees. He clearly knows what he's doing and he's a very nice guy. He promised me a bid within a few days, but it never came. I have called repeatedly over the last six weeks. I really wanted to hire him, but I needed to know the cost and how it would be broken out. His receptionist tried to contact him two different times while I waited on the line, but didn't succeed. So, I'm giving up. I had one other bid, and I'll go with that as it also has good reviews. read more

Moved into this home just over three years ago. Romans is the fourth tree company we've had come out and our quest is now over. Once this professional, respectful and ever so careful with your garden/plantings crew finishes - your trees will be healthier, more symmetrical, better balanced with limb weight -and your quest for a decent tree service will be over too. We will never use another fly- by -night crew again. We've had horrible experiences with unqualified, chainsaw happy crews that were probably hashed together and just want to knock out your job in a few hours so they can ring your neighbors doorbell and solicit more jobs for the afternoon. I am passionate about gardening and know that a good, thorough pruning can not be rushed. One bad cut can irreparably damage a tree even ten years out. Romans crew was nearly surgically precise and their clean up immaculate. His bid was not necessarily the highest, and I would have paid probably twice what I did for the quality of work we received and the overall results from his crew. I would recommend this company to my Mama - and that is REALLY saying something! Franklin was our foreman, and he and his crew walk on water - period. read more

So, I never thought I would need an arborist, much less have such a strong opinion of one, but Roman's Tree Service ROCKS. Eric is extremely knowledgeable, responsive and attentive, and his crew did a spectacular job. He gave a fast and reasonable quote for some extensive work at our house, and was a lifesaver when halfway through the job, we ran into some issues with the city and had to go through a permitting process based on an obscure and unpublicized zoning ordinance on our property (there is no way either we or the Eric would have known); Eric quickly (like within a few hours) wrote up a report, and we were able to move through permitting faster than I would have ever imagined. He then was able to come back and finish the job quickly and our property looks amazing. Please consider Roman's Tree Service for all your Tree needs. read more

After reading reviews and getting estimates, I chose Roman's for a yard with several large elms and eucalyptus trees. I didn't choose them because they had the best estimate, which they did, but because Eric took more time to go through the yard and discuss the project to meet my needs. I've seen a lot of bad tree work in my day, so I was careful to pick someone who seemed to really care about the work. Eric brought in a double crew (two climbers with a handful of other workers), allowing them to complete the work in one day when other bids would have taken two. They were fast, efficient, and at the end of the day the trees look beautiful and the yard was cleaned up immaculately. Like 5 stars say, it was as good as it gets. read more
