STC Tree Care - Before picture of the palm trees - Tree Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

Yesterday 17 May 2026 (Sunday) Wind gusts up to 45 mph in Sacramento broke a huge tree branch and it landed on my neighbors granddaughters car. Thank God there was no damage. Good neighbors helped me remove the branch from the car and clean up. The following morning (Monday 18 May 2026) I called STC and spoke to Eva and explained my urgent situation as the wind is still blowing hard. I was afraid more branches were going to fall. She immediately contacted their arborist Kevin. He came over within a couple hours (he was attending to other emergencies) and gave me a assessment and his crew was over within hours to cut more risky branches from breaking and becoming a liability. We decided due to the age of the tree and the constant branches snapping off and potentially becoming a liability to remove the tree this fall. Ugh I love my tree. I can't say enough how amazing STC is. They are professional at ALL LEVELS and fees are very reasonable. Especially in this urgent situation, I am so grateful for their understanding and quick action to help me. I have been a customer for the past 5 years. STC you totally ROCK! Thank you!

Sotelo Tree Company did an incredible job pruning our giant Walnut tree- we call her Wanda. From the site visit with Kevin and coordinating the project with Eva- every step was wonderful. The team was so organized and cleaned up the yard beautifully. Fantastic job and service= WIN! read more

My 89yr old grandmother had a massive tree branch fall in on her patio cover and destroy it. I called Kevin and sure enough he was there to rescue her. The crew went out and removed the branch quick fast and in a hurry. She was so impressed with their work and how it went from being a complete mess to just the patio cover. I absolutely love STC! They simply are the most amazing company to work with and care about real people with real issues. read more

They are very professional, organized, and trimmed my pepper tree exactly the way I had envisioned.

STC DOES EVERYTHING RIGHT. I've been using STC for over 15 years. Their pricing is competitive, the job they do is very thorough, all the way down to the clean up. Their office manager, Cassara really stays on top of things and keeps you informed. She's so professional and polite. Kevin is the arborist. Very knowledgeable, super friendly and will always take time to answer questions even if he's not working on your trees. Today two of my neighbors called him over to answer questions about their trees and another neighbor called him over just to chat. STC has done work for 6 of us in my court because they really do everything right. Esteban is the team leader and he makes your trees look like they belong on the White House grounds. I highly recommend STC for all of your tree trimming needs. read more

STC's crew did a pretty good job with the tree pruning/maintenance work but they could've done a much better job minimizing the impact of their work on our landscaping, which suffered significant damage. We fully recognize that some impact is difficult to avoid like large branches falling on plants but they could've been much more diligent and careful in removing such branches and preventing some damage and walking around certain plants (instead of stepping on them). After notifying STC of these concerns in real time, they were much more responsive and diligent. Another issues was cleaning up after their work. For the most part, they did an acceptable job but they completely missed cleaning the roof of a shade structure right below our tree despite a request to clean leaves/debris etc. If you go with STC, I recommend speaking with the crew in advance before they start their work to ensure these issues are minimized. read more

Big, old, damaged Ash tree removal. Excellent workers and quality work. Estimate was well below competitors bids. Estevan, Miguel, and Antonio arrived early, setup their equipment, and had the tree cut down and safely on the ground very quickly. They did everything requested and I am very happy that the tree is down and no longer a threat to the house. Great big "Thank You" to each of the guys! They were awesome, and I would definitely work with them and your company on any future projects. Price was fair, workers were easy to work with, and more than willing to go the extra mile! read more

This morning, the STC Tree Care crew removed a large branch that had broken off my tree. Good job. I appreciate it.

My husband and I purchased a home that had some trees that were not healthy and I contacted STC Tree Care and scheduled an inspection to determine our removal options. From the time of my initial conversation with scheduling, inspection and the removal appointments, my husband and I found the STC Tree Care team to be knowledgeable, professional considerate of our property and very thorough in handling our service request. Their prices were very reasonable, too. Thank you STC Tree Care Team. We will definitely use you again and recommend you to others so that they too can receive amazing service read more

Kevin came to see what we wanted to achieve. His calm, experienced wisdom gave us just the guidance we needed. He recommended trees that were best suited to, and would thrive in, our hot, full-sun environment. The entire crew was excellent. They rapidly pruned an aged, neglected Mulberry tree, and did an immaculate cleanup. They installed just the right (no seed pods) Chinese Pistache and Red Oak. All this was done with extreme efficiency. The guys were humble, courteous and very skilled. The whole operation was done in less than two hours. I highly recommend this company. read more

We needed a 40' Valley Oak removed, piss pour place it was planted at!! I got referral from Bettie Cosby, President and CEO of the Citrus Heights Chamber for Sotelo's Tree Care ~ we'd never used a tree service before so I called them up. Well, they were the nicest, most knowledgeable guys I could hope for....these guys know their trees!! Noe Cardenas, a certifed tree arborist, came out to look at our tree. He was professional and very courteous and answered all my questions about our issues with problem tree. Based on his adviced, we decided to go ahead and have them remove the tree ~ way sad, but the previous owner planted the wrong tree in the wrong place!! Their crew of 4 showed up at the exact time they said they would and 2.5 hours later the tree was gone. Also, for no extra fee they pruned our front-yard tree of its dead wood. Everyone on their Sotelo's crew was courteous and worked quickly to get the tree down. Then, they cleaned up all the debris so you wouldn't have know a tree was removed in our yard!! I would gladly refer these guys to friends and relatives for tree care! Cheers All read more

Wow!! So professional. This company is spot on the best. From the initial meeting with Kevin to the very end I was so impressed. Kevin met me at the house and talked about the work to be done. He even used a cool laser pointer to show me the exact branches he was referring to. After I accepted the estimate, the work started about three weeks later. The crew showed up at the time they stated. I watched as they prepared to do their work. They all wore safety equipment including hard hats. I was impressed how one the crew harnessed up and ascended the tree. The work was very methodical. The crew was quick and efficient. They totally cleaned up even using a leaf blower. The branches were gobbled up by the equipment on the street. Not only did I receive a follow up phone call that afternoon, but I also received a mailed thank you card within days in the mail! Seriously, who does that anymore. I highly recommend this company and appreciate all the work they performed. Kudos!! read more

Sotelo's came recommended to me, and did not disappoint. Their arborist is fantastic: educational and informative. The crew was fast and efficient, and the massive tree I had them prune looks the healthiest it has in years. Great work, reasonably priced. Thank you! read more

These guys were great from the beginning. From my initial phone call, to the estimator, and the workers. I had 5 trees at my commercial business that needed pruning and building clearance. They were able to accommodate me prior to my business hours so they wouldn't interfere with my clients coming and going. I called for 3 estimates and they were by far the best priced. What I appreciate the most was how they cleaned up my property before leaving. Make sure you give this company a chance for an estimate, you won't be disappointed. read more

We had a 40'+ tree that was in sad shape and needed to be removed. I contacted numerous local places, and Sotelo's was easily our first choice. Timely contact, great communication, a competitive quote, and they clearly answered all of our questions. Their insurance and licensing all checked out, and they had great references. Less than a week later, the crew arrived as planned, and did a great job. (I should add, we have had another tree company out who started working on the same tree and left because it was "too much work"). The entire Sotelo's crew was great - very professional and clearly knew what they were doing. When they were done, they cleaned up the entire yard. I wish we would have contacted them long ago. read more

Extremely curtious and professional with reasonable pricing. Excellent communication and follow through. I told them my budget, asked for their advise. We had a very large stump ground & removed, top soil added and rwo trees planted. I am very happy with the results, and all done within our budget. Highly recommend this company. read more

May 22, 2020 I have to give this company a "mixed review." Late last year STC gave us a bid to trim a Valley Oak and a Ginkgo Tree. We gave very specific instructions as to what work we wanted done. The arborist wrote up an estimate that included the required City of Sac. Tree Permit. In Feb. 2020, we wanted to confirm what work would be done. He stated that the work on one side of the oak was NOT discussed and increased the estimate by $440. After we reached agreement on a price we scheduled the work. The day before the office called to inform me that they neglected to get a tree permit from the city and could not do the work for another 2+ weeks. Therefore, I cancelled the entire job. In April I asked for an estimate, just for the Gingko, accepted the price and scheduled the work for Thursday, April 16. Again, my instructions were specific. Thirty minutes before the crew was to arrive, arborist called to say that the crew got hung up on an earlier job [understandable] and they had to re-schedule. When I asked if the work could be done next day or Monday I was told [in a very curt manner] "I have next Tuesday available." The crew was courteous & efficient and removed several branches. But w/o the use of a "cherry picker" they couldn't reduce the end weight on several long branches, as recommended by a SMUD arborist. I asked why they didn't even have an extension chain saw, and was told that the arborist didn't feel it was needed. I still have several heavy branches that could break in a strong wind. The arborist, despite his knowledge, totally disregards that I am the home owner and a "paying customer." read more

I called for an estimate, Kevin came over earlier that I expected which was great for me, very fair price, we are seniors. The crew also showed up early, again great for me. They did all the work that I expected, very good cleanup.... nice guys as well...Thanks for your efforts. read more

A few years ago, Sotelo did some work for us when he was the foreman for a previous employer. Recently we saw one of Sotelo's trucks on a site and wondered if it was him. We called and found out he had started his own company. We were so happy for him we hired Sotelo and his crew for our next project. We needed a lot of work done, numerous trees & their stumps removed; trees trimmed and diagnoses on the remaining trees to determine if we could save them or if they too would have to be removed. Noe Cardenas, a certified tree arborist, diagnosed the trees which helped us to make the right decision. Sotelo and his crew were professional, punctual, extremely hard working and organized. They have the knowledge and the right equipment to get the job done. We are at the beginning of our project to start our own orchard. Sotelo, Noe and their crew will be with us all the way to help guide us in making our vision come true. Sotelo had a vision to own his own business and he has worked hard to accomplish his dream. Congrats to you and your entire crew for showing us what a professional, organized and extremely hard working crew can do to get the job done and done right the first time. Looking forward to working with you guys! If you need tree service call Sotelo you will not be disappointed! You will be impressed to see how well his crew works together to get the job done. read more

I can't thank Sotelo's Tree Care enough and will hire them over and over. Their crew went over & beyond my expectations, even moved things that had nothing to do with tree removal, just as a courtesy. Not to mention, they were done in less than 40 minutes! This entire business is professional, friendly, trustworthy and aimed to please. Thank you! read more

Professionals! From the office staff to the on-site crew, they were great! On time, honest and provided open/clear communication and they cleaned up the yard very well after the job. We would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to trim/prune tress. Thank you Sotelo's team, great work! read more

Had some work done to two 55 foot oak trees on my property. One needed some pruning and one needed a cable because of a split in the middle of the trunk. From the first moment I called them they were very professional. Kevin, the arborist, was very kind and extremely intelligent. He came out to assess the two trees and gave me a proposal promptly. I hardly knew the crew was there, they were very efficient and professional. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Excellent service! Miguel was up front and honest, while his crew was prompt, professional, and very courteous to our neighbors! We had two trees taken care of that hadn't seen pruning in years, they look great now, healthier! Sadly, we also had one large tree removed (couldn't be avoided) but, Miguel has given us great ideas and help with placing some new trees that will look great and not damage the property! Once they completed the job, everything was cleaned up, things that were moved were returned, and they took care not to damage surrounding plants & property! Great Job guys! I'll be a returning customer! read more

This guy Kevin, the so called arborist is a piece of work! He will come out and give you some great advise and lead you to believe that he will be the one coming out and closely supervising the job to be done but guess what? He may stay 5 minutes then leave. He did this to me and I was appalled at who he had working on my trees. These guys were surely picked up for the job in a local Home Depot parking lot. It seemed they didn't know " Jack" about trees or trimming them. I try not to hover over workers because I choose to trust in their professional integrity. Some workmen have none. . These idiots knocked a nest out of one of my Oak trees and didn't even bother to tell me! I just happened to ask if they seen any nests in the trees? The nonchalantly pointed on the ground and said " there" . I went and picked up the little nest I seen 4 baby birds . One died from freezing. I hurriedly took them to Loomis Basin so Gold Country from Auburn could come get them. ( God bless Gold Country & Loomis Basin) I was happy that I was able to save 3 but that one that died cut to my very soul. So as far as I'm concerned these clowns from Sotelos suck! They also traumatized my Oak tree and I felt it was way to expensive.. They promised to drop off some much but never did. Do not trust the fast talk that Kevin gives. He will not stand behind his promises. Shame on you, Sotelos! I wish I could give you half a star you half a--ed tree trimmers. read more

Use this company if you want to get lost in "tree verbiage" when they do not trim your trees to make them safe or off your roof line. They seemed like a better quote than the three others, but steer clear of their seemingly cheaper rate because you get what you pay for. When I emailed them after to rectify the situation because I couldn't even tell where they trimmed our trees, and everything was still over our roof line, they sent their Aborist back out but he was accusatory and making it our problem - saying we didn't understand his wording of "end weight reduction", and he even asked why we didn't go with or normal tree guy, and then further said there was nothing he could do! He didn't even offer to come back or prorate an additional tree trimming to keep a client. We were severely burned by the wording of an arborist. Hopefully this review will help you make a decision, read the fine printing, and do not give money until you see the work. We paid $1190 for work that my husband could have done. read more

These guys are great. They took a 60ft tree out of my mom's backyard. The whole crew was personable, friendly, polite and respectful of the property. A hard to find combination in todays world. They did a fantastic job all for a very fair price. The equipment they had was very well kept and made the job go quickly and easily. At the end they cleaned up the entire area and left it as they found it just minus one huge tree. I would recommend this business to anyone with confidence. read more

I found Sotelo's on the arborist and BBB sites. We had Sotelo's trim 2 very large trees. When they gave their quote, they explained exactly what they would do and also pointed out issues from prior trimmings. They came when they said they would (both to give the quote and to do the job). They got the permit for us and were very professional in their communications. They did a nice job and cleaned everything up well. Our trees are heritage trees (= large) and they didn't have any problems. Their price was similar to the other quote I'd received. I'd definitely call them again. read more

Miguel is awesome. Very knowledgeable, courteous and punctual. We had a very tall split trunk pine that was diseased and ready to fall. Miguel and his crew came out the next day on what we both felt an emergency to take the pressure off the split. Took them about five days to complete and communication throughout the whole process was excellent. He did a final walk through with me as we had several more trees removed and fully cleaned our property. I would highly recommend Sotelo's and in particular Miguel! read more

We used Sotelo's tree care this month (Sept 2016), and they did an excellent job. Our job involved removing several small volunteer trees, trimming some bushes, and trimming a neighbor's tree that overhung utility wires. The Sotelo's crew was careful to understand exactly which plants were to be trimmed/removed, and how much trimming we wanted. They were careful to clean up (and remove) all the plant trimmings and debris, and to leave our yard tidy. They were also careful to be respectful of our neighbors, by cleaning all the debris that fell into their yards. We will definitely use their services again. read more
