"Aly came on a Thursday to give an estimate and had 2 workers out the next day. They helped remove the trunk of a citrus tree that I couldn't get out myself along with trimming and orange tree and the neighbors trees that were coming over on our side which was encroaching on wires. Both the communication and work done were excellent."

"I highly recommend Joel Gil and his team to anyone who needs to have trees or tree stumps removed. He is highly responsive and does superb work. 831-710-0915. We had the misfortune to have a 40' pine tree fall in our backyard, onto a fence (luckily missing the house by inches!), on New Years Eve. He was at our site the next day to look at the work required. We aligned on a body of work (which included removing 6 other tree stumps from the property) for a highly competitive price. His team got to work same day to remove the body of the fallen tree. Today they returned to clear and remove all of the stumps. Couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. If you run into similar tree-related misfortunes or have existing trees to take down and/or clear from your property, I highly recommend Gil Tree Service."

"We were in dire need of help clearing out our entire yard comprised of overgrown fruit trees and overgrown weeds (averaging approximately 4 feet tall). Entire yard = the entire exterior of our lot. It was neglected for an extended period of time and we knew that it was time to call professionals to lend us a hand. We were pleased that the owner, Silverio, responded to our inquiry within the first 20 minutes. He also did a good job explaining the best options available and then following through on his plans. He and his team showed up on time and worked all day to clear out weeds, remove a couple of trees, trim the remaining trees in the yard, and removed other junk found in the yard. Their work exceeded our expectations. Our yard is beautiful and more functional now. They left us with a good baseline so that we can continue maintenance and make plans for landscape design. We would not hesitate to use Silverio and his team again."

"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."

"They did a great job, I would highly recommend them to anyone. They did an excellent service. Eric and all of the workers were great and extremely helpful for us. They were very very good and careful when cutting the limbs and the trunks of the trees. My neighbors were very appreciative of them not blocking the road during the work."

"Carlos is great. He came right away and provided us with a very competitive quote. He showed great patience as well since we were waiting on other quotes to come in. Carlos's quote destroyed everyone else's. His crew came in and removed a tree, trimmed a smaller tree as well as a 40' tree trim; all look fantastic. Thanks Carlos."

"PMC Tree Service was great.  My  request for a quote was answered promptly and they were able to schedule the work for two days later.  
They verified our permit and trimmed our overgrown street tree.  It is now beautifully shaped and no longer in danger of branches breaking off in a storm.  Another tree that was too close to the house was removed and two additional stumps were ground down.  I highly recommend PMC.  They arrived on time, work was performed with a minimum of disruption and noise and they cleaned up thoroughly afterwards.    Crew was so nice and professional.

"Nato came on a Thursday and did an initial estimate. He was very clear that the garden would look a little bare for a few weeks as he'd have to cut things back pretty far. His estimate was 1/2 that of the other companies we talked to, and he was willing to come on the weekends, which made things much easier for us. He came back just three days later (on a Saturday) and two of his men spent 8 hours here. They left with a truck overflowing with trimmings, and even removed a small tree for us. Nato supervised them at the beginning and end, and the team was great to work with (we were working in the front yard while they were in the back) - extremely helpful and courteous. Total bill was just what he said - $500. We also gave each of the two guys a tip (though we were never asked to do so and I didn't even detect a hint of expecting one). The cleanup looks great though, as he cautioned, things are a little barren while we wait for them to grow back. For large cleanup jobs, this company is excellent. Though I use an all organic company for regular maintenance now (I would use Nato if I was not so into organic gardening), I will certainly call Nato and his team for the next large job. Highly recommend."

FAQs for tree service projects in Watsonville, 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.
