"Danny, Kevin and Garret arrived on time and after a brief introduction and explanation of the job went right to work. They were professional and showed their competence in removing the trees marked. They were a great crew, got the job done at a very reasonable price. I would use them again, if needed, and recommend them highly."

"My old 40 ft+ silver maple had been butchered several times, in part causing the tree's decline. The shape was unbalanced and the tree looked raggedy. Kevin Johnson's crew removed all the dead branches and bracelet tips and reshaped the tree into a natural canopy shape. The tree looks fantastic. My deodar cedar, a soft wood tree looked spindly and ragged with overly long branches with heavy end weights which were a hazard in stormy weather. The crew removed the heavy ends and by reshaping they turned the ragged tree into a stunning specimen tree. Kevin and the crew understood exactly what I was looking for in the Magnolia grandiflora, the foundation tree in the back garden. They cleaned out the water sprouts and dead wood and trimmed some of the outer branch tips without giving the tree an unnatural lollypop shape. The pruning cuts were done correctly, above the bud, but not too close to interfere with its future growth. All in all, I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Kevin Johnson and crew. You are true professionals. I will call you back when I need more tree work done. Monica, UCCE Master Gardener, Alameda County."

"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."

"I sent him this: Hi Pablo, I want to make sure we are on the same page and my apologies for any misunderstandings. Original quote was for $1,800. Then changed to $2,100 for using Rain Bird products. We agreed Which I listed in a text on Jun 25, that I wanted specific valves, controller/timer and a rain sensor. Then you started the work and an addition $200 was added for repairs/leaks, bringing the total to $2,300. We agreed. We sent you $1 to confirm Zelle was correct and then Zelle'd $1,150, which was 50% of the $2,300. When you came out to install the correct controller/timer, I asked about adding Zone 8. You said it would be $250. I sent you a text, July 2, requesting a $100 charge for the Zone 8 valve, and you would not need to install the Rain Sensor. We spoke on the phone today July 3, in the am regarding some leaks and you said, $150 would be fine for Zone 8. You installed Zone 8, added 2 more sprinkler tops/units for $15 each and a receipt for $38.86. We sent a Zelle today (July 3) for $1,368.86. That would have been the remaining $1,1150, $30 for 2 additional sprinkler tops/units, $150 install for Zone 8 and the $38.86 receipt. The 2 sprinkler head/units, we did discuss today, are incorrect, because they water the wall and you would replace those. If I missed something, please let me know. It's important to me, to make sure you have been paid correctly. I would still like to hire you to add a shut off for the top 4 valves and add additional drip system, to make sure all the plants are being watered."

"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."

"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. 👍🏾😍🥰"

FAQs for tree service projects in Oakland, 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.
