All of the debris was hauled away and in the second tree they not only cut the dead branches away but also made it look nicer by doing expert pruning. Overall we are so happy with the work.

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.

LICENSED AND AFFORDABLE…read more This past summer my sister was helping our parents of finding a tree arborist to trim tree branches from our neighbor's yard that were hovering over parents' backyard in Fremont. My parents felt the quote provided from the tree arborist was expensive. My sister asked me to find other trees arborists on Yelp. I asked J.T.S. Tree Expert for a quote. When I made the request on Yelp I also checked the box to send the request to other vendors. I met most of the vendors that responded through Yelp at my parents' place. In August I scheduled as many tree arborists as possible I could for a free estimate. I learned a lot from them regarding what needed to be done. Seeing multiple tree arborists provided me insights on what issues to ask. After the appointments each tree arborist provided me with a quote. One was really expensive even though he was licensed. There were a couple of tree arborists that weren't licensed that provided more reasonable quote. One thing I observed from my encounters with the tree arborists is they would tell you about the estimated quote for the trimming however when I received the quote there was another charge for the cleaning. When I met Jose and Veronica from J.T.S Tree Expert I showed them the backyard on my parents' home. J.T.S was the second to the last tree arborist I scheduled for an estimated quote. Jose told me that time frame for trimming the trees would be six hours. At the end I decide to go with J.T.S as they were not only licensed but also the cheapest as the quote included the tree trimming and the cleaning. I wasn't there on the day of Friday October 10 when J.T.S workers came to my parents' house for the trimming. However my parents were. They said the processed took about five hours. I went to the backyard on Monday October 13 to see the outcome. I was more than happy with the result of the branches that were trimmed. I can see the fence of my parents' backyard. If you need a tree arborist that is licensed and affordable I recommend J.T.S. Tree Expert, Inc.

This is the third landscaping…read morecompany we have worked with over our 4 years living here in San Mateo and we could not be happier. There are 3 big projects for which we contracted with Zarco Landscaping, because they continually performed above and beyond on the work. The first project was for a room that would flood when it rains. The team at Zarco quickly diagnosed the problem as poor gutter placement and cracks in concrete on the floor above, and they worked rapidly to connect a new sewer system and rebuild our concrete walkway. There has been no more flooding. The second project was to improve the terrain and usability of our backyard, which is on a hill that was very difficult to navigate. The Zarco team completely transformed the area, building stone steps and leveling the land with premium soil, mulch, and stone. Please see the attached photos (we wish we had before pictures, but it was all dirt and invasive plants before on a steep incline)! Lastly, our third project had to be done rapidly after the recent storms in the bay area. We needed three very large and dead trees removed that were at risk of falling on our house or the street. The Zarco team came the next day to remove all of the trees. Overall, the Zarco team has always delivered amazing service and treated us with respect. The prices are also very reasonable and competitive with quotes we received from other businesses. If you live in San Mateo or the Bay Area, we strongly recommend calling Zarco Landscaping for all of your outdoor needs!

Leading up to and during the project he was responsive and communicative. When he told us the work was complete, we paid in full -- only to discover afterward that an entire section of irrigation had been left out, despite being explicitly included in our written agreement. When we raised this, he suggested we had been unclear, but we had the itemized scope in writing. He said he would come fix it, and over the following two-plus months, we scheduled at least five appointments to have it finished. Each time, he either didn't show, sent a substitute without notice, or confirmed and then cancelled same-day. His responsiveness -- so reliable before payment -- dropped off entirely. He has since stopped responding altogether. In the process, other issues surfaced. The gopher wire was left too close to the surface, leaving sharp exposed edges near plants -- making that area unsafe to walk through -- and it hasn't effectively deterred gophers, who are still reaching plants and roots through gaps at the top. On multiple visits, despite telling us that he was coming, he sent different workers; they never addressed the outstanding issues and only weeded. On one visit, newly sprouted seedlings we had specifically pointed out not to pull, were pulled. His offer of a warranty was a factor in choosing him over other landscapers -- but he has not returned to finish the incomplete work or address any of the issues above so I'm not sure how his "warranty" even works. We'd strongly recommend inspecting all work thoroughly before making any payment, and getting any commitments -- including warranty terms -- in writing.
