East Bay Tree Service Inc.

Victor is very nice and he got our job scheduled and 2 stumps (one was enormous) ground up the next day! Impressive service! He left the area very orderly as well.

We had a 60+ foot Eucalyptus and Bay tree that needed removal. Victor came the same day to give an reasonable estimate, scheduled removal the next day, workers showed up punctually at 8am, and worked 2 days. The workers were careful and skillful not to ruin the vegetable garden or come near the close by deck with the machinery or the 100−300# logs that were brought down. They also did a complimentary trim of another Eucalyptus that hung over from a neighbor’s property. When they left, they cleaned up the area as well as the street where the chipping was done. That evening, Victor called to make sure we were satisfied about the work and offered a log splitter for us to use for the firewood we kept, for no charge.
We have used this company before and have always had great service. We highly recommend them.

Victor and his crew recently did a large job in our yard including removal and stump grinding of a large redwood as well as another tree and trimmed several trees in our front yard. He did the work that was bid. His crew was efficient and tidy and did a great job.

We just had a big job of tree removal done at our home this past week. We had three estimates and went with East Bay Tree Company. I cannot say enough positive things about Victor the owner and his amazing crew. We had 2 large Redwoods, a Sycamore and many small trees removed and all the stumps ground. The job was done timely and professionally. Victor oversaw the entire project, keep us abreast of what would be taking place each day and even went so far as to quiet the machines when our granddaughter went down for her naps. We were so impressed with the job that we kept them on for additional work. They did a wonderful job pruning and shaping our Magnolia tree as well. We will continue to use East Bay Tree for all our projects in the future big or small!!! Thank you Victor and crew for a job well done. We are pleased!

I’m so grateful for Victor and East Bay Tree Service! Victor went above and beyond in helping with a donation to build a school garden at a San Francisco public elementary school. He was very responsive to my inquiries, made himself readily available, and even supported my school with the cutting and transportation of premium redwood lumber, which we used to build raised beds. It was unbelievable.
We never would have been able to accomplish everything we did without Victor and East Bay Tree Service, he really was so thoughtful to support the local community and students in need. I highly recommend them! Thank you so much!

We were directed to this company by my parents, who used them to remove a couple of huge and dangerous pines that were not well out in Lafayette, and raved out their work (they don’t really write reviews, but would definitely give them 5 stars).
This is a small company so is very busy and is not easy to schedule. But if you persist, they will do great work both on the trees and on the clean up.
We have used them twice now — once last fall and a second time this winter to clean up the yard of a house that we purchased last March, was a former rental, and had a complete mess of a back yard — trees and shrubs that had never been cared for. There were sick and leaning trees (safety hazard to us and our kids), overgrown trees with branches all the way to the ground, a pine full of dead limbs, and thick walls of weedy shrubs and vines like english ivy.
The yard now looks much better and with all the cleanup done is ready for a landscaper to come in and work with us on a permaculture-​type setup that includes to planting native California trees, shrubs, grasses and wildlflowers, and our favorite fruit trees and shrubs (and eventually some chickens).

Vitor did a nice, quick, and clean job of removing a big pine tree near my house. My neighbors also used his service and had good results.

Victor with East Bay tree service was really easy to work with. I had 4 other estimates, but people were either way too high or appropriately priced, but then when I would try to hire them, never hear back! These guys are fully insured/​bonded and reasonably priced to remove 7 trees!
I called for an estimate, he was able to come over and discuss the issue with our many dead trees really quickly. They were able to schedule us really quickly, due to another job we have starting in the yard. I really appreciated his tree knowledge, deciveness and communication. They took care of the trees and left not a trace behind. Fast, courteous, thorough. Well done! I would use them again in a heartbeat.

2^nd time we used this company for service on our property. The 2^nd job was not a huge job — a cut down of a 20 – 25 ft. cedar that had died. We got 3 quotes and found Victor’s to be the most reasonable. They arrived with a crew of 4 and 20 – 30 mins later the tree was down and they did a great job of cleaning up the mess afterward. If I had any suggestion for Victor that would make it even better, it would be «Better Communication». I know this was a «small job», but still — would have been much better to actually SCHEDULE this than just «show up between larger jobs when in the area». All in all, yes, I will use them again for my future jobs.

UNRELIABLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. Really our rating is NO stars but Unilocal requires at least one.
After using Victor’s services for two smaller jobs, we called him back in early August to give us an estimate for a much larger one. After agreeing to his proposal, we expected to have the work done by the end of the month. I asked Victor to give us at least a few days day of advance notice so we could organize our schedules.
After not hearing back for over a week, I called him. He said that could actually do the job the next day, but I just couldn’t be there on such short notice. Victor said he’d call me back soon since he was scheduling several jobs for the next week. BUT over a week later, I was the one who had to call him back. After I left a couple of voicemails, his assistant called to say she’d reminded him to call me.
None of our tree work was urgent, but we still wanted to set a date for the job. It took two more rounds of tracking Victor down, but finally on Sept 4– a month after the estimate!– we finally set the work date for Sept. 11.
On Sept. 9 I called him to confirm. He called me back on the10th, saying that his only experienced climber had called in sick so he ‘d have to reschedule our job. He promised to call me on the 13^th to update me, but he did not
Today, the 19^th, I called Victor. It took him a moment to remember who I was — even though I reminded him about the sick climber. Instead of reassuring me in any way, Victor began telling me,” the thing is, I’m starting to get all this government work…” I replied «that’s it. good-​bye.» I should’ve said it weeks earlier.
I don’t know why Victor didn’t want to ever actually perform the work we agreed on After all, he gave us a written bid and we were fine with it. If he had changed his mind about doing the job, he should have been upfront with us right away.
It’s a pity because we like to support local businesses, but enough is enough.

East Bay Tree service is the best of the best. We had a fallen tree blocking our driveway and we could not get in or out. We called many companies but being Labor Day weekend there were no responses. Victor contacted us less than an hour after calling and was at our property within 10 minutes. His bid was very fair for an emergency call on a holiday weekend with a very large tree to clear. They worked very fast and and cleaned up the driveway. I would defiantly recommend this company and will be calling in the future.

I had a Purple Plum that had fallen in a wind storm and left me with a large stump that needed to be cut off and then the stump ground. Victor of East Bay Tree came out the same night I called, gave suggestions on calling «Call before you Dig» (811) and then came out the next week and removed the stump as scheduled.
Reliable service, good pricing, professional and did what he said he would do. What more can you ask for in terms of excellent service.
I would highly recommend East Bay Tree for all tree removals and stump grinding. As someone who was in the business 35 years ago, Victor knows his stuff and gets it done!

We had a 300 year old massive oak go down last night at 11:00 PM. It landed in our driveway, preventing us from getting out. It also crushed a few trees, a fence and a neighbors gutter.
East Bay Tree Service was called that night, came out at 12:00 and surveyed, providing pricing and commitment to service the next morning at 7:30 AM.
I was shocked and thankful they were so responsive and caring.
This morning they sent a crew with the best equipment for large trees, took it apart, and cleaned up so we could get out before noon.
Thank you so much for your great service! We would recommend you to anyone!
Victor does an excellent job managing his crew and efficiently getting projects done in hairy circumstances…

East Bay Tree Service did an excellent job! They removed a large pine tree without any damage to the property or landscape. They were on time and clean up was immaculate!

Long story short– Victor is a great guy and gets things done. I needed the job done professionally and quickly and I don’t have time to mess around, my life is too busy already. These guys are great– they came out and did an excellent job (just have to wait a couple more days for the stumps to be removed). Victor gave me an excellent price and came with a highly qualified crew that were very professional and listened to my exact requests. A+++++

East Bay Tree Service has done work on our trees twice in the last year. Both times the results were excellent… better than expected. They are skilled in thinning out Oak trees and opening trees up to create a view. The second job was to clear ivy from trees and general over growth from the hillside behind our house. Another great job.
Victor’s crew is both fast and professional and the work is reasonably priced. I highly recommend and will continue to use East Bay Tree Service for all our future tree work.

Had a very good experience with EB Tree with them removing 4 pines, a dead birch and cutting back a large oak. A little trouble getting the job scheduled but the crew was on time an unbelievably efficient. The price was also the best quote I received and some of the other services came across very shady.

Lowest bid, very satisfied with the work. One huge, sick maple removed that was 15 feet from my house and had every possible service cable running through the branches, no damage to house or wire. Also trimmed up the poorly developed sycamore, next to the maple, it looks fantastic.
thanks highly reccomend

Victor and his crew did a great job cutting down 5 trees in my yard. One was a large pine growing diagonally into my neighbors yard. They were very efficient and precise. The crew all knew what they needed to do and did it. You can tell, they have great respect for Victor. I’m attaching some pics of the work in progress! (BTW, his price was the best as well and he is very responsive and accommodating.) One one wish (star) is that they prunned a bit more of the tree in the front. I think they were pooped by the end of the day since they also had my neighbor’s giant tree to prune. Otherwise, great company and highly recommended!

East Bay Tree Service is an excellent company! They cut back our large Oak tree perfectly and removed a stump — both at very reasonable prices! We recommend them for any tree services you may need.
