Agri-con Tree Care Professionals is a full service, licensed company that is looking forward to meeting and exceeding all of your expectations. In business since 1989, we are experts in the field and would love to share our expertise with you. Call Agri-con today!

"10/1/02 Initially, Francisco was very good at calling to schedule the initial estimate and following up with faxing the requested reference list and bid. The pricing seemed fair for the amount of work we wanted done. The workers arrived on time on the day scheduled, and they worked quickly and efficiently. However, the third day, they were here only 45 min. or so, then left without a word, and did not return. We received no call from Agri-con to say when they were coming back. Two days later, my husband called Agri-Con to find out what was going on, since we still had not heard from them. Apparantly, Agri-con was doing another job at a friend's house, a job they had gotten through our referral, and they were planning to grind the stumps for both jobs at the same time (tomorrow). It would have been more more proactive and better customer service had they called us and let us know what the status of our job was, instead of making us call them to find out. Since the job is not completed, I would like to wait until that time to give you my final rating. 10/2/03 - Francisco and his crew were back out at my house, and they were very considerate of the fact that my husband was sleeping; the crew worked on trimming back some shrubbery and trees, then they came back in the afternoon after my husband awoke to do the stump grinding. That was very considerate and very much appreciated! 10/6/03 - the job is 90% completed. We are waiting for our pool decking to be removed; Francisco recommended we wait until then to grind the palm tree stumps and any roots that may be in the area. We are very satisfied with Agri-con's work, have recommended them to several neighbors and friends who have used them already, and would definitely call them back when the next pruning/trimming is needed."

Tree Service business locally owned and operated we feel invested in our clients and constantly strive for customer satisfaction. Call or message us to schedule an estimate today!

"A&Y Performed a tree removal for me. It was approximately an 80-foot tree very close to my house and backyard deck. I was a bit nervous as I had seen "TREE Fails" on YouTube. Their insurance was current and complete so that helped my nervousness:) The crew arrived on time and had the tree removed by noon. I was very impressed and highly recommend A&Y for tree removal. They left the worksite clean and split the rounds and stacked the wood for me (I wanted it for firewood). I felt the price was fair and the customer service was excellent. I would absolutely hire this company again. Thank you Yohana:)"

"My next door neighbor and I needed a major tree topping and trimming to the property line. We took 4 bids on this project. Johnson’s Tree Care won us over with Kevin Johnson’s professionalism and client care. He kept in close contact with us via text and phone. He worked with both our schedules, and came on the date proposed. His crew followed our requests to the letter. The workers had safety equipment, Kevin’s company is bonded and insured, which was important to us. The crew worked continuously and cleaned the site completely, chipping the branches and hauling everything away. Johnson’s was not the lowest bid, but we sensed a quality job. Kevin is an arborist and can « read » the pruning history of the trees. He knows his business. We got our money’s worth and will hire this company again! Thanks, Angi, for past reviews which also guided our choice of contractors."

PV Tree Service is licensed, bonded, and insured! We specialize in caring for all trees, including: Tree Shaping, Trimming, Pruning, Removals, Stump grinding, and highly experienced in power lines clearance.

"Only issue was that PV Tree sent out a crew without actually scheduling the service. I had a dialog with them over getting a written quote which they ultimately provided. PV surprised us with a crew at 8:00 on Saturday morning. We had them proceed with some reservations. The crew did a good job and left the areas clean of debris."

FAQs for tree service projects in Palo Alto, 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.
