Skyview Tree crew of Santa Clara County trespassed through back neighbor yard and shared fence onto family yard with healthy old growth ordinance sized Redwood tree on Thursday November 20th, 2025 without an appointment or notification. They had no county-required permit, and no 811 service was pre-marked around the yard before they arrived. The healthy, majestic, sacred and irreplaceable Redwood tree only needed simple pruning/trimming and had been inspected not long before this travesty caused by Skyview crew who removed hundreds of branches from the Redwood. They ignored my demands for them to stop, continued removing all branches, topping the tree, essentially to poach the wood. I contacted to Santa Clara County Arborist Inspectors San Jose Code Enforcement plus tried reaching Skyview Trees before they topped the very top of the tree. There's also a Skyview Trees business in Rohnert Park/Sonoma County with Arborist certifications, accreditations licenses in business much longer than Marisa and Jaime's company - The Skyview Tree Services crewman who trespassed and began poaching away the healthy Redwood used their license number 949233 under false pretenses to botch the Redwood up so badly it could no longer survive... a form of passive tree poaching, with permit and 811 violations to boot. Code Enforcement Director, II David Parker 408-535-7759 david1.parker@sanjoseca.gov verified the otherwise healthy ordinance sized old growth, protected California Redwood Tree was unnecessarily topped by Skyview crew after they purposely over-pruned hundreds and hundreds of virile old growth branches off the entire trunk of the neighborhood ecology and my family's sacred Redwood Tree. We never even received written or verbal notification to expect tree crewmen encroaching our private, personal yard and tree through the neighbor's yard by Skyview, nor the housing community management and community groundskeeper... This was an opportunistic tree poaching by Skyview and who knows what all their cohorts against a senior citizen's family home. Even the common area groundskeeper seemed to be in cahoots with Skyview and two weeks, December 4th after commicating again with Arbortist and Code Enforcement, he physically attacked me, causing multiple serious injuries, a 911 call. Law enforcement did file a report regarding that brutality and also the Redwood tree poaching attempt from November 20th. I had contacted 811 after that incident from November shortly thereafter due to the Skyview tree crew not having permits, and damages they caused as extremely skilled trespassers/poachers/tree-removers with expensive work trucks and heavy equipment. The areas Skyview Tree crewmen encroached were not premarked nor flagged prior to their intrusion on November 20th, 2025 and same thing before they trespassed again to finish poaching all the Redwood trunk full of highly valuable heartwood on Monday February 9th 2026. This time a permit had been issued a by Code Enforcement for "Dead Tree Removal", because Skyview intentionally murdered the Redwood Tree - and no doubt in my mind they had been eyeing the tree for some time while doing palm tree maintenance in the neighborhood common areas. This company has violated my family's deeply religiously held property and rights multiple times in addition to professional standards they purposely and knowingly disregarded to poach the sacred Redwood, all it's branches and timber. Redwood Tree poaching under pretenses of pruning/trimming (intentional over pruning and topping of healthy, ordinance sized old growth California Redwood) without permit in November 2025, and also no 811 premarking of areas is the legacy of Skyview license number 949233 to me - do your research about quality tree professionals not tree poachers with plenty of heavy and expensive equipment... They stole tons of Redwood lumber from our yard, including heartwood and mulch. And many of the yard stepping stones were damaged by their heavy equipment. Unforgettably beyond heartbreaking, Skyview's corruption.. Marisa and Jaime Mendosa 949233 need further investigation currently about their past and alleged "professionalism" guise regarding connections in California and other states, countries to tree poachers. read more

Luis and his team came yesterday and did a fantastic job. He was puntual and attentive to detail. He picked up all scraps, and left my house beautiful. Very polite and fulfilled all my requirements. Highly recommend. read more

Luis is prompt, communicative, courteous and fair in his pricing. He is open to work with you to manage the job in a way that makes sense for you. He and his team do great work and are conscientious, careful and clean in their approach. We have a large property and have had several oaks, Eucs, Olives and other trees maintained by Luis for the past year plus. There isn't anything that they can't tackle. I highly recommend him for any work you are considering. read more

Luis is knowledgeable and professional. We have used him multiple times with great results. Highly recommend!

This was the first time we've used Skyview and picked them based on good reviews. Bernard came out at the scheduled time; wearing a mask of course -- there's still a pandemic. We walked our property, pointing out work we wanted done. Bernard asked thoughtful clarifying questions. It never felt like he was trying to upsell us more work. A few days later Marisa sent us a proposal via email and were pleasantly surprised. The price was fair -- very fair. We had a few questions about the proposal which weren't clear to us. For example, we wanted them to plant a small lemon tree in the location they removed a large stump; they clarified they would bring some extra planting soil if it was needed. We scheduled the work for a few weeks later on a day most convenient for us. On the scheduled day, four people arrived on time. Bernard helped get them started but then went on to another job. The crew worked diligently all day; we only saw them take one break at lunch! The job seemed to be larger than we all expected because, by the end of the day, it was clear they would have to come back to finish a few things. We didn't mind at all but we had to wait a few days because the stump grinder needed repairing. The delay of a few days allowed us to check their initial work carefully. There were a few trees/bushes we wanted them to trim a bit more which they happily did. Some of the workers didn't speak English confidently but all seemed to understand our questions and were very polite. We were impressed by Marisa (who runs the office) being clear and responsive throughout the whole process. We'll definitely use Skyview again. read more

Skyview Tree Service - Stump removed and lemon tree planted - Tree Services Near Me

When we first contracted this company they came out quickly for a quote, but once we had questions they just didn't respond. Finally after another branch fell and we bugged them again they made an appointment. We were initially quoted $1400, but they ended up charging us $2100!! They did a good job on the tree, except they trimmed a lot more than we requested. When they were removing branches that they cut up they completely tore up my flowers, grass and succulents. When they were done they just left and didn't say anything. Just Frustrated by the whole experience. Beware!! read more

Luis and his crew at Skyview did an outstanding job trimming a big oak tree that has grown over a few neighbors backyards and houses. He was on time, easy to talk to, assessed and planned the job systematically. He was very technically skilled climbing the large tree of over 50ft high, cutting overgrown branches, and lowering them safely to the ground protecting the roofs, fences, furnitures, equipment, and surrounding plants in the area. I was very satisfied with the quality of the job, his speed, cleanup after, and also the very reasonable and competitive price for the job. I highly recommend Luis and his team with Skyview. He has done many other jobs around the neighborhood. His direct line is (408) 382-1045 He came highly recommended and I have heard no complaints. read more

His direct cell is 669-649-0009. read more

Jamie and crew did an exceptional job to remove 2 Monterey pines that were completely dry due to bark beetles. These were very tall trees located in steep terrain. The crew worked efficiently and safely. They executed this in one day whereas another company had quoted 2 days. They left the place clean of all debris. The price was very competitive. I will use their service again. Jamie was very professional and pleasant to deal with. read more

Jaime and his crew showed up on time and set up the area on the street with safety cones and signage. They were all ready to go with safety gear. Its nice to see a company who cares about their employees. They all worked efficiently and were very aware of the surrounding items and did a great job of managing the falling limbs. We had 2 trees cut down; one had already fallen and one very tall pine. Clean-up was amazing, and they were so gracious when we decided to ask for a few changes and to make the stump into a pedestal for a pot! They even landed a job across the street and had that done in no time. We had a great experience with Jaime and crew and will definitely use them again. read more

This Erik guy and his people are very good with trees. They trim my palm trees in Fremont, and they did a very good job. They finished the works nicely and cleaned up really good. (Sat Afternoon April 27, 2024) read more

I worked with Jaime who was in charge and lead the way. His quote was very fair and competitive. He was a pleasure to work with, was always on time and was very responsive. Him and his team were able to get the job done on one of their off days. I don't much experience with tree trimming but it looks like they did a good job. They trimmed and cleaned 9 redwoods, took down 2 trees that were too close to the yard and one dying cherry tree in the back yard. They did a great job with everything however there was a tiny bit of trash left behind and the stump grinder (who came after I got approval about the gas lines) cut through one of my sprinkler tubing's and just hid everything. I actually installed a new sprinkler controller later that afternoon, so as I was testing the different zones I noticed one of my tree drippers no longer dripping. I was able to find where it got cut which was right in the area where one of the stumps was dug up. Evidently in their service agreement paperwork they say they aren't responsible for any damage done which is understandable but if there is damage done I would expect to be informed about the problem instead of finding out for myself randomly. It's an easy fix and Jaime apologized and said if I'm not able to fix it he'll help out in anyway he can which was kind of him. I wish the person who damaged the tubing would have just told us in the first place. I would have Jaime do work for me again in the future. read more

My neighbor called for tree work, not me, and they needed my help throughout. They needed to park a crane in my driveway, pick up dropped tools in my yard, one guy asked if we had a rake they could borrow. The tree didn't even go over my property and they kept needing my help. Traffic cones with thier logo sit neglected on our Lakewood sidewalk even after I told them to please pick them up in mid June. Maybe they need someone to do clean up after them. Updated: 7/19/20 read more

David and his crew were PHENOMENAL, walking through the tree-tops, dangling, up IN IT! a true understanding of how to prune and HELP the trees to be healthy!

Jaime and his team were hired by our condo complex for tree removal. I would like to particularly thank Jaime for his thoughtfulness, care, great communication, and professionalism. By accident, during the removal, a pine cone fell onto our patio table and broke one of the table's tile pieces. Jaime apologized multiple times and insisted that he find a replacement part. He made extra trips to our yard to find the right match over a couple weeks. After discovering that the particular piece was discontinued, he bought us a whole new set of 8 tiles for the table! It honestly looks even better than before - plus we have 2 extra pieces on hand now! He was very generous and persistent in wanting to make it right, and he went above and beyond what we expected or what was required. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Jaime and his crew did an excellent job on a project between my neighbor and myself. He removed a 120 foot tall ecalyptus tree that was split on our properties.

Thank you Jaime and the Skyview Team Jay Lipscomb read more

I had my 25 foot oak tree trimmed today by Jaime and his crew at Skyview Tree Service. I cannot say enough how pleased I was with their work.

Best part was they left my yard and my neighbor's yard cleaner than it was before. Highly recommend and I will definitely use Jaime again. read more

Excellent company. We heard about them from Nextdoor and I contacted Jaime via cell. He got back to me right away and we arranged a time to do an estimate. After agreeing on the price, which was very reasonable, his crew showed up later in the week at an agreed upon time in the morning. They got to work right away and did a fantastic job clearing away overgrown tree limbs and brush in our yard. They also removed a dead tree and were very careful about keeping the tree balanced and maintainers aesthetics. My neighbor also had them remove a dead tree in his yard since they were already there. The entire crew worked for something like 7 hours (as Jaime had estimated) and they left our property cleaner than when they arrived. I will definitely use them again and I definitely endorse them as an overall excellent tree servicing company. read more

After SkyView did some work for my in-laws, we had them come out the next day and give us a quote for our home. They were able to fit us into the schedule very quickly- a 3 day project that started a few days after we received the quote. Our property looks great! It's amazing how much more light we have in our backyard now that the dead branches have been trimmed off from our trees. They also did a great job cleaning up after themselves, moving our potted tomato plants back into place, etc. Highly recommended! read more

Their pricing was very good too! read more

Skyview just finished a day cleaning deadwood out of our hillside property, pruning very large walnuts, California Buckeyes and oaks, grinding some old stumps and removing poison oak.

Too good to be true.... Got the lowest quote from this tree service, they were to do some tree topping for us, and we thought this would be quick and smooth... Husband took time off to make sure he was here to oversee the work, the day of the scheduled service, they just did not show up. We called several times and only got message, so we left numerous messages, and never even got a call back to explain why they wasted our time. Very disappointed...not professional and not dependable! read more

Amazing work today from Jaime and his team. They thinned out 2 giant redwoods and took an old stump out of the front yard for me. Great deal, great service, very professional and clean. I have other projects I need their help and would not think to call anyone else but them. read more
