Skyline Tree Service

All I can say it great job and great people!!!

A serendipitous find. I answered a knock on the door. Joel asked if he could give us a bid on removing a dead tree he saw in our yard. I normally do not accept unsolicited bids but I had been planning on removing the tree. It did not hurt to get a bid and I had 9 more trees dying from pine bark beetle. He looked at all the trees and then brought his dad by later as he is the owner of the company. He said they would cut down all the trees and do stump grinding for a very reasonable price. I had trees removed before so I knew this was a competitive offer. I had also reviewed his other Unilocal reviews which were all positive. He brought the proper tree removal form for me and turned it into the city. I got approval quickly, as he has done lots of work in Saratoga. All the trees and stump grinding was done in three days and all the mess was cleaned up. They were efficient, quiet and did exactly what was expected. I would highly recommend them

I called Skyline Tree Service and spoke with Joel. He was my 4^th quote. His prices were inline with the others I just felt he was more professional.
I went ahead and used skyline to remove a tree and to trim another. Great professional service. Clean and efficient!
Would highly recommend!

Skyline just got done with doing a HUGE job and I am extremely happy with their work and professionalism. I had gotten another bid that I thought was high and Skyline came in at a more reasonable quote. Because there was so much work to be done, they had missed a couple of small items. When I pointed them out they quickly rectified the situation. I would highly recommend Skyline Tree service. They added a lot more viewing area to our balcony view of Anderson Lake!

I hired Skyline Tree Service after getting multiple bids. Joel and Timo showed up on time and did exactly what they told me they would do. They are careful, precise and know the business well. They furnished all the required paperwork needed to get on my property. I watched them working the whole time and could not find anything to complain about. They left my yard immaculate and treat their workers very well. I highly recommend their company. Don’t hesitate to call Skyline Tree Service for a bid. You will be happy you did. I am.

We had been neglecting the trees on our property for a couple years and needed some help with pruning them back and away from power lines. My husband and I found Skyline Tree Service on Unilocal and decided to give them a call.
Joel arrived promptly on time for a free estimate. He was ready to start the work in 2 – 3 days. He walked us through what he would do and how long it would take and answered all our questions. We got quotes from two other companies and found Joel’s to be the best.
We had three big trees to be pruned and many fruit and decoration trees that needed some shaping. He also threw in some hedge pruning to make our property look even and clean.
Joel and his crew were very professional, detailed, and respectful. They were clean with they approach and careful with our house, lawn, and other trees. They neatly stacked up their cuttings. When they left after two and half days, it was hard to imagine that there had been a lot of tree cuttings on the lawn. They left our lawn and sidewalk cleaner than before! They even blew the leaves off of our roof.
We are beyond pleased by their work. I would definitely call them again the next time we need tree trimming!

Julio pronounced HOO-​lee-​oh, is kind, patient, and dependable. Where this tree service shines is that Julio is the only person from a tree service I contacted (of 6 tree trimmers) to give me a clear plan to protect the flowers and native shrubbery I bought, planted, and nurtured with tons of ‘sweat equity in the last two years. The others were oblivious to flowers and talked vaguely of replacing any damaged plants, but he talked about how he would protect the plants, and he noticed them, too. One guy before him came close to trampling blooming flowers, stopped by my shriek.
Another special thing about Julio is the team he hires. When he said his team could cut with branches falling precisely where they wanted, he didn’t exaggerate. Not an iota of damage to fence, plants, or anything else. My past hires sometimes left a wake of destruction in their path. Julio talked about «paying a little more» to his cutting team, and I felt good about that. He even helped me solve a long-​time pond problem while supervising the tree cutting team. The price was a little lower than some, but in the general ballpark of other estimates, while the respect for the good of all, excellent service and outcomes, and good advice were priceless. He brought proof of both Workmen’s Comp. and Liability Insurance, so those issues are covered.
While many other tree services wanted to cut down all the Monterey pines at once, his feedback was consistent with my research and beliefs, not to mention tolerable pain and grief at losing my beloved trees. (The one that was leaning and threatened the kids in that yard was much preferable to all five, not to mention denuding the top of the hill.) He contacted the owner of the property behind mine (that I haven’t been able to identify on the street behind me) and got permission to use their yard. He got approval of the cleanup before leaving. Others have wanted me to contact them. It was a relief that he could tell what yard belonged to what house from the streetside. Another service provided.
The tree was taken down to ground level making cover much simpler and decreasing the grief of tree loss. Stumps are ugly, hard to cover, and look like the skeletons of dead trees. This was a big plus for Julio of Skyline. Julio and his team were an hour later in starting than promised. I actually liked that no excuse, but absolute honesty addressed the lateness.
Having experienced the services of several others, I would recommend Julio of Skyline Tree Services with applause and pleasure. Even though they are from San Jose I listed them as in the Richmond area because Julio comes around at intervals and is usually scrupulously timely as if the business were next-​door. I’ll call Julio of Skyline any time.
