The city's Tree Removal Permit system regulates work on protected species, requiring certified arborists for assessment and removal of trees over 38 inches in circumference or designated heritage trees.

“We have used Roy and his crews for over 20 years. The reason you hire a professional Arborist is for their ability to look into the future and understand how to shape and care for your trees today so that they are healthy and looks great in the future. They have successfully maintained six redwood trees, one large live oak, Japanese maple, white birch, and fruit trees. Hiring someone who drives by in their pick up truck will be less expensive but in the long run, your trees will not be healthy Nor they be safe. Like so many other things you get what you pay for. My wife and I are very happy with all of the services we have received from Davies Tree Service”

“I recommend West Valley Arborists. A large oak tree was hanging over my house but I had received contradictory information in the past about what to do about the overhanging limbs. I was very comfortable with Simon’s solution and expertise. Ricardo, the crew lead, carried out Simon’s vision and the crew did an outstanding job. Not only does the tree look natural (not like it was just butchered) but the crew protected the property during the process and did a great clean up. I look forward to West Valley maintaining my Redwood and sycamore trees.”

“I recently had Franck Cadena (Arborist) from SavATree lead the tree trimming work at my property, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. 🌳 Franck demonstrated excellent knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. He collaborated very well with neighbors, ensured safety at every step, and managed all activities efficiently and thoughtfully. The work included Crown Cleaning and End-Weight Reduction — removing dead, weak, or diseased branches, thinning laterals to reduce excessive end-weight, and improving light penetration and air circulation. All pruning was done according to ISA standards and safety regulations, with disinfectants applied to tools to prevent the spread of disease. Franck personally remained on-site to review the scope of work and pruning cuts, ensuring full transparency and top-quality execution. His team also hauled away all branches and left the site perfectly clean after the work was completed. I highly recommend Franck Cadena and the SavATree team for any tree trimming, pruning, or arborist services. Their expertise, professionalism, and care for both trees and the community truly stand out! 🌿👏”

“I don’t usually write reviews, but after dealing with a cracked driveway in Santa Clara caused by old roots, I feel like I should share. We finally decided on tree stump removal because the remaining stump kept pushing up the concrete and was becoming a tripping hazard for our grandkids. LJR Tree Services showed up on time and explained how deep they needed to go so the roots wouldn’t continue causing issues. It was louder than I expected, but they worked efficiently and kept the area contained. When they finished, the space was level and ready for repair. No leftover chunks, no scattered debris. For a retired couple trying to keep up with home maintenance, that kind of straightforward experience really matters.”

My family had a huge checklist of things we needing doing before we could sell our home; L&T did everything we needed with minimal fuss and super-easy to work with.
