We couldn’t decide whether to remove a backyard camphor tree or just trim it. We got a prompt estimate for the cost of both options. We decided to trim it and were able to schedule the trimming for 3 weeks later. They did a thorough job and the tree looks so much better. The crew was very personable and efficient and they did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards. We will use this company again.

Even though Matt gave the estimate, his father was the one sent to do the work. I talked to Matt afterwards and obviously was told there was nothing to be done. After a number of months, the trees still look horrible. Trees that once framed my yard and were the envy of my neighbors, look awful. I am considering having these trees that are 25 years old taken down completely. I had other tree work done at the time, which was fine.
Description of Work: I am so disappointed in the work done on my redwood trees. I asked that the dead wood be taken out only, but my trees are left with huge. gaping bare spots and half branches. The trees now look like they are dying. I know that some trees benefit from somewhat of a 'windowpane' look, but not redwoods. I have never seen redwood trees look like this and am heartbroken after nurturing these trees for 25 years.

We talked with three tree trimming services from Angie's List and all three were professional and responsive, pricing all about the same. We chose Elite Tree Service because Matt had the best suggestions for trimming the tree and, a certified arborist, would be on site to direct the work himself. Though it was a small job relative to most, Elite worked it into their schedule and did the work in a timely manner. They worked fast and efficiently and did a great job of clean-up. Also put down plywood to avoid damaging new ground cover under the tree.
Description of Work: Our overgrown plum tree required a professional pruning.

Description of Work: Very large eucalyptus tree with possible root compromise. Beginning to show some stress and dead branches throughout. Matt Jenson who is a fully insured and certified arborist examined the tree and said we could save it. Performed a very professional job of cutting out the dead branches and trimming it back. It was a fully grown tree and a very big job. Safety was my main concern because the tree was is a high wind area and we were afraid dead branches would fall on surrounding homes. I am extremely satisfied with the job and felt confident in Mr. Jenson's judgement. the trees now shows signs of health and a lot of new growth. Services were prompt and very reasonable. The Jenson family is friendly and cordial (father and son), easy to work with. They thoroughly cleaned up the place and surrounding street after completing the work. I recommend them without reservation. You will be happy with their service! They probably have more than one office now because the address on their letterhead is 1400 Lawrence Rd., Danville, CA 94506.

Matt showed up on time and listened to what I was concerned about and provided information on each of the species in my yard. He made recommendations for both what to do and when to do it as some trees need to be trimmed in certain seasons. He then provided an estimate that covered what I wanted and it was very reasonable. The crew showed up while I was not at home and completed their work very quickly. I expected them to still be there when I got home but they were gone and had completely cleaned up, everything was done, and it all very much meet my expectations. When I received the bill it was for exactly what I expected. I will certainly use this company again as I have a few more stumps to cut down/remove and a couple trees I forgot to ask them to cut back.
Description of Work: Removed a dying magnolia tree, leaving a stump close to the ground (did not have them grind it out), trimmed a tall pine tree, trimmed back a Sycamore tree, cut down two stumps closer to the ground and removed an Oleander plant leaving a stump (did not have them grind it out).

Matt came out - gave estimates for several projects around my property that I was considering. He was prompt and professional. I received two other bids and decided to go with his service. I was a little disappointed that he did not call me back right away - and it took a while to get the work scheduled. However, the work was well donel and I was happy with the outcome.

Matt arrived late on the day for estimate; however, he did provide advanced notice. The estimate was below all other bids which I have received. I have requested for copies of insurance and workers comp for verification and they did provide a valid of copy everything via email. Matt and his crew arrived on time on the date of service, they did a great job and did it fast (really fast). Everything was cleanup nicely afterward without any damage to our house. I would definitely use them again.

Ed came out and gave us a quote to for the work we needed performed which was substantially lower than the other 3 bids. I called to set up the work date and left a message which was not returned. I called again and set up the job with a secretary for the morning. On the day of the job, Ed called to say that there was a mix up with the schedule and they couldn't come out until the afternoon. Shortly after lunch, Ed and his crew of 4 men arrived to do the job. They immediately started working on my large birch tree. Ed's crew cut the big tree while Ed pruned all the small, young trees. He can visualize what the trees should look like when fullly grown and trim them back accordingly. They looked great when he finished. They also removed the nursery and support stakes from all the trees since they were no longer needed. They gathered all the branches and other debris and efficiently chipped them up and hauled everything away.
Description of Work: They reduced & trimmed 1 large birch tree, removed 1 medium birch tree, pruned 10 small, young trees, removed 1 small tree. They chipped away all cut branches and hauled it all away.

Matt, of Elite Tree Service, arrived promptly at the scheduled time to assess the work we needed done. He was very courteous and professional, taking the time to explain how he thought each of the trees should be trimmed. He gave me a written estimate that was in line with other estimates I had received for the same work. On the day the work was performed the crew arrived later than scheduled, but they did call ahead of time -- i.e., before they were due to arrive -- to let me know and to give me a new ETA. Upon arrival, they got to work immediately and finished all the tree trimming, stump grinding, and cleanup in about an hour. So in effect, they ended up finishing at about the time I expected them to had they arrived on time. They were very professional, courteous, and efficient. We will definitely use Elite Tree Service again.
Description of Work: We have a tree along the driveway that provides privacy between our bedroom window and our neighbor's window. But the tree has been way beyond needing trimming, to the point where it was beginning to engulf the neighbor's house. Elite Tree Service cut the tree way back and reshaped it so that it would provide a barrier that would grow along the fence line instead of grow outward toward the houses on either side of it (as it had been). They also pruned and reshaped a tulip tree in the backyard that was blocking the sun from a portion of the lawn, and ground a bay tree stump that had begun regenerating shoots.

Excellent. Ed (owner/estimator) gave an estimate that was well below other estimates I received. He scheduled the work within a week of date the estimate was approved. He showed up with a crew of 4 and they completed the work in about 1 1/2 hours. Very professional. Very efficient. The trees look like they got a serious haircut, but I think that's what happens when you prune.
Description of Work: Prune and shape 2 plum trees. Cut back tree branches back from side of house. Also Cut 8 rafter tails showing signs of wood rot (We live on a hill and the rafter tails were about 30 feet off the ground. I couldn't find a handyman willing to take on the project). All materials except the rafter tails were chipped and hauled.

They were very nice on the phone when we called to set up the appointment. They arrived on time and they were careful not to tear up my yard while removing the trees. They even cleaned up all the debris.

Always prompt, cleans area thoroughly when work completed and the men working with him are as polite as he is. Excellent knowledge of what he is doing! Knows what to do with each variety, first time he thinned and trimmed to extent I wondered if he had harmed them. They are here (years later) healthier and in better shape. Above amount is for average maintenance for small area. Tree removal or large jobs have been as high as $800.00. This tree had fallen and was blocking the sidewalk and half of street, he came within a day since emergency. Also gave excellent advice about leaving roots to prevent mud slide on slope. This saved money as well.
Description of Work: He has trimmed a large amount of tall but thin trees that cover the whole back of the house. Large trees in front /Fir tree very old and large/removed fallen very large tree/removed deep rooted bushes/hedges/etc.
