Listen, folks, I've worked with a lot of contractors, too many of whom want a quick job and a fast pay before the problems surface. I hate negotiating with contractors and workers to come back and do it right. Bear I mind that EC Tree Service is a California-licensed and -bonded (I checked it out at www.cslb.ca.gov, license 903257) and presumably insured general contractor with a tree specialty license as well, so you have major protections if something goes wrong.
Wow, Elmer, you impressed me with your professionalism and rapid-fire high-quality service.
I needed two trees removed and stumps dug up and a bunch of my neighbor's oak tree's branches cut way back, with a gutter clean as well. Elmer and company were there on time in short order and did a great job, even being resourceful and industrious enough to figure out how to safely move my car out of their way to avoid its potential damage, as I couldn't be there. They had before-and-after photos of the gutters to show that the gutter work had been done.
Due to a misunderstanding, they had to come back early the next Saturday to cut the oak back more. Elmer patiently explained the limits before we'd need a city permit, and we agreed he'd do what he could. And that work was hard to beat.
I'd had a nasty bear of a time once with a tree company absorbed into Bartlett Tree "Experts," so bad that I had to involve an attorney, so I was skittish about tree firms. But EC and his company shine as a well-qualified customer-focused business.
EC Tree Service has the serious equipment, the willing and able manpower, and the rare smarts to do a professional job right away. Six stars. Just don't tell them they charge too little (the other bid I got from a certified arborist was significantly higher, with the stump removal a big $$ question mark).
I have a feeling they'll go far, and I wish that to be so. And soon. What more can I say? Check the other guys first, then come here for a breath of fresh air.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Vahid F.The Loop, Chicago, IL09Apr 13, 2024

When EC Tree Service was grinding the stump of a tree they removed, their equipment ran into a water riser that neither of us were aware of. They went above and beyond in getting my system back in working order. Given how small this project was, I was very impressed by their professionalism and their dedication to doing things the right way. I'm very grateful to have found this company and will be reaching out to them again the next time I need help with my trees.

We hired EC Tree Service for some tree work (oak trimming + some removals). They completed the work quickly and with high quality. We're very happy with the results and will definitely work them again!

I was hiring the EC Tree Service crew for a third time as I was happy with the quality of their work and customer service!
First time the crew took care of my 5 large redwood trees, second time they trimmed a large oak despite complexity of work in between tight spaces that are prone to damage, and during the third time they did excellent job of removing the poison oak that have been covering about 800sf (yikes) and did outstanding job of doing a general cleanup of the backyard.
Elmer did a great job educating me on potential (liability) pitfalls of trimming trees that belong to neighbors but overhang my property. Knowing that this company is licensed and insured helped me gain confidence that if such liability cases occur, they will be able to handle it. Also that helped me maintain healthy relationships with my neighbor when I discussed the need to trim their tree overhanging my property.
Based on my extended experience, I definitely recommend EC Tree Service to anyone.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Eileen B.Mountain View, CA22245Jun 28, 2024
I needed some stumps and a bush removed in preparation for a new fence. They responded to my request for a quote very quickly, and I received pricing the same day that they came out. The team was very pleasant to work with, and they did a great job of getting everything removed. I highly recommend them.

Since we recently replaced our lawns and trees, we figured it would be a good time to prune the heritage oak tree in our backyard, especially with the El Nino forecast.
EC Tree Service was professional, market-priced, and provided timely responses.
We look forward to future projects!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Leonard E.Los Altos, CA04Aug 1, 2024
