Alejandro and Cal-Line Tree Care were excellent to work with. I hired them to remove a 50+ foot…read morepine tree, remove a large oak tree, and prune five additional trees on a steep hillside. Alejandro communicated with me throughout the project and followed up both during and after the work to make sure I was completely satisfied. His crew was professional, efficient, and left the property clean when they were finished. One thing I especially appreciated was that Alejandro took the time to communicate directly with my neighbors to make sure the project went smoothly and to address any concerns. I also obtained four quotes, and his pricing was very competitive. Based on my experience, I would absolutely hire Cal-Line Tree Care again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I had a mixed experience with Alejandro over the 6-8 months I worked with him. While he was…read moregenerally responsive and made lots of promises, he misrepresented himself as an arborist when I needed one for tree root pruning around a sidewalk permit with the City of Oakland. Alejandro only told the truth after we had gathered a big 10-person crew of my general contractor's team, the city inspector and whole concrete team ready to pour the sidewalk. With all these men looking to him for approval as the arborist, he buckled and admitted he wasn't a "certified arborist" but a "licensed arborist." We were all dumbfounded. This colossal waste of time cost me several thousand dollars more from a two week delay and extra man hours over Xmas, when Alejandro left a big safety hazard of sharp nails, overturned plywood, and a mess of wood chips on the sidewalk that another crew had to manage when he was a no-show on the cleaning part. At least he did actually prune the roots after he found a real "certified arborist" to replace him. He did cut back the tree branches just fine. But If you need anything more official than a tree haircut, I don't recommend you choose Alejandro.

We had Jose from Vega's Tree Service out to look at some dying hedges and chose to have them plant…read morereplacements. Jose and his crew did a good job. Based on that job, we had Jose come back to price planting of sago palms and trimming trees/bushes/hedges. His price sounded good so we scheduled a one-day job for the work. On the scheduled Tuesday, a crew of three arrived (but not Jose to lead the work). We had to explain to the lead what we wanted done (same as we had explained to Jose before). The lead did not appear to understand us completely. The lead even FaceTimed with Jose for clarification. Apparently, that didn't make it any clearer for the lead...as evidenced by the crew's work. During the first three hours, the crew only managed to plant the sago palms...half of them planted too deep in depressions. They ran out of soil. The lead found a bag on my property and asked if they could use it. After I told him no, he used it anyway and said he misunderstood me. One guy also had to leave to buy more soil for the sagos. After I complained to Jose, the crew provided a replacement bag of soil. The crew trimmed the palm trees and hedges ok. They, however, botched the rest of their work. They butchered the bushes, fruit trees and other trees. They only completed about have the work and didn't cleanup at the end of their day...saying they'd be back on Friday. We feel it is unacceptable for them to have left the job site in such a state...even if they planned to return. The crew also broke a yard lantern. Not sure if we can get a replacement. We cancelled their Friday return and only paid them for the work completed. We are not satisfied with either the partial job done or the price charged for that partial job. It's crap. Vega Tree Service clearly had a more important job elsewhere and sent an inexperienced/subpar lead and crew to do our job. Poor customer service. We will not be using Vega's Tree Service again. We also cannot recommend them to other customers.

Amazing communication and service. Easy to get a quote and get scheduled. They didn't leave a…read moresingle leaf behind. Thanks!!

My last review was positive but a bit facetious so let me just say, Chris and his team did an…read moreoutstanding job, for a very reasonable price. They REALLY know their stuff and are great, proactive communicators. I thoroughly recommend them.

Chris dumped wood chips at my house after we were connected by ChipDrop. This is meant to be…read moremutually beneficial: arborists dump chips for cheap and gardeners get free chips. Chris drove the dump truck, loaded with 14 cubic yards, directly over pavers that my friends and I painstakingly prepped and placed, despite there being plenty of obviously non-paver driveway. His driving error upended my pavers and even broke some of them. Then, driving off of the pavers (over the edge of my driveway) then back up over the driveway again to line up the truck messed up the _driveway_ too. All he said was that he didn't see the footpath and that I could get use glue on one of the broken pavers; no apologies, no offer to make things right, just griping about how he wished he could have gotten rid of the chips sooner because they were already decomposing in the truck (he had called ahead with urgency that it would be inconvenient for him to arrive in the afternoon like he planned, so I was trying to accommodate him arriving in the middle of one of my appointments with 20 minutes notice). Obviously this review isn't for tree service. However, both professionalism and machine operation are--I dare presume--integral parts of the arborist business and probably important to you too as a customer. Chris showed aptitude in neither in his work on my property and I can't recommend his business Tree Mechanics.
