"It went great! The crew showed up right on time, spent nearly 3 hours trimming the tree (it is huge!) and cleaned up everything when done. Very professional and thorough. Highly recommend them!"

"The team did an excellent job and did a ton of work for the price. They trimmed two Eucalyptus trees that were WAY overgrown, several oak trees, and a variety of other trees and shrubs on our property, including removing two that were unhealthy. They were flexible - doing more quiet work when we had some important work-at-home calls - and they left the property cleaner than it was when they got here. Highly recommend!"

"P&J does fantastic work. I am more than pleased. Joe is an arborist and has keen knowledge of trees, when and how they should be pruned and groomed or even removed. P&J removed three trees and many shrubs, pruning and shaping many other trees. Stump grinding was done to the removed trees. His crew of seven and himself showed up on time at 8am and they were done at 1130am. Amazing! They are licensed, bonded and insured."

"Juan and his team were excellent. They removed two 50+ foot tall trees near our home in a tricky location that required chopping up the trees into smaller bits and lowering them individually by rope. They were on-budget, on-time, and far faster than their initial time estimate of 2 weeks (done in 1 week). A team of 5 were at our home every day for 6 days and got it all done. Super professional, courteous, kind to our neighbors, and great quality of work all around. A+ rating, would work with them again."

"Danne is excellent, and does the work himself (with a partner or two) for a reasonable price and cleans up completely afterwards. He also knows his stuff. I am so happy that my live oak tree has been cut back significantly thanks to his expertise, which told him that my radical plans for the tree could indeed be carried out without damaging it. Friendly, reliable and kind. Get a quote from this guy!"

"Work was done effectively and on time, Clear Vista Tree Service came to our apartment complex and did a wonderful job. They removed a huge pine tree and trimmed a bunch of other trees. They’re a good crew of men who work well together. They cleaned up well after themselves. We’ll be definitely contacting them in the future for any tree service."

"Villatoro Tree Service did an excellent job in removing 2 trees, trimmed the overgrown main tree and removed overgrown tree branches against the fence from our next-door neighbor. Jose and Sam were very professional and did an excellent job in tidying up the work site. I would definitely hire Villatoro Tree Service again."

"The crew was very efficient and got the job done very quickly. All the roots were removed where the big cactus and lager tree stem in the middle stood. Very nice grew and respectful. Will not hesitate to call them again to help out with yard work again. 👍🏾😍🥰"

"We had them trim four large Eucalyptus trees. Their bid was very competitive and they were very responsive. They did an excellent job, were very accomodating, cleaned up thoroughly and completed the task in one day which was ahead of schedule as they used a crew of seven. We were very satisifed with the job they did and will definitely contact them about future tree or landscape projects. We highly recommend them."

FAQs for tree service projects in Berkeley, CA

Professionals remove shrubs by first cutting back the branches using tools like pruning shears or chainsaws for thicker stems. They then cut the base close to the ground and dig around the root system to remove the roots completely, preventing regrowth. Finally, they’ll ensure proper disposal of branches and debris while complying with local regulations.

A bush stump will regrow if any portion of its root system remains. When even a small section of roots is left behind, new shoots emerge and regenerate the bush with leggy, spreading growth. Working with a professional landscaper ensures the complete removal of the stump and all roots, which is essential to prevent any regrowth, ensuring that the area remains clear and maintenance is minimized.
