"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."

"The job went like clockwork. Aly was prompt in coming out when contacted to provide an estimate. While the cost for cutting and hauling this very large pine was not inexpensive, it was reasonable given the size of the job and was within the parameters of other quotes I received. I was impressed with the many positive client reviews I read about Aly's Tree Trimming and the fact that the company was bonded, a certified Arborist, and licensed. Aly was able to get his crew over immediately after PG&E had finished their job of cutting near the high voltage lines. Aly has a large crew and they worked quickly and efficiently. Alex the foreman, did a wonderful job working with our difficult neighbor in handling the issues of working on the neighbors property. They cleaned up every day and when a small tree on the neighbor's property was damaged, they replaced the tree with a similar specimen. The crew were very professional and courteous. They avoided any damage to the two properties (other than the tree mentioned above). I would definitely use Aly's Tree Trimming again and would highly recommend it to other clients who are seeking the highest professionalism, and courtesy."

"Gil Tree Service was exceptional. Joel reviewed our project, submitted a fair estimate and provided tips on properly caring and maintaining our trees. He arrived on time and worked efficiently. He left the property cleaner than before he arrived. Additionally, he suggested purchasing bushes to define our property line. He went way above our expectations as he delivered the bushes and planted them. Joel is the real deal, he is honest and knowledgable, you will not be sorry using his service. I will definitely work with him again."

Customers say: Quick response

"They contactly me promptly regarding the project and did an excellent job at a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone else for a similar project. My project necessitated the trimming of dead branches from 100' tall redwoods and the removal of smaller redwoods that had been damaged in a fire. They surveyed the site on a Friday and were able to complete the project on the following Monday."

"Excellent service. Knowledgeable about trees and the best time to trim/prune. (He advised to wait to prune for health of the tree rather that do the job at the moment..) Have used Bama's for several years. Crew is careful about under plantings to avoid damage. Courteous and hardworking. Highly recommend."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

For tree service in San Jose, use locally sourced mulch, such as redwood or oak chips, to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Choose drought-tolerant fertilizers and install drip irrigation for native trees like coast live oak or western redbud. Galvanized steel stakes provide wind resistance for young trees, while fire-resistant plants and proper safety gear are essential for maintaining defensible space and long-term landscape health.

Helpful?

San Jose’s Mediterranean climate—with dry summers and mild, wet winters—affects tree service scheduling and methods. Most tree trimming and removal is best done from late spring to early fall to avoid wet soil and compaction. Drought conditions may require extra care for native species like coast live oak, while fire risk in hillside neighborhoods increases the need for defensible space and regular pruning to reduce fuel loads.

Helpful?

Professional tree service in San Jose can enhance your home’s value and curb appeal, especially when focusing on healthy, well-pruned native trees like California sycamore or valley oak. Buyers appreciate properties with mature shade trees, proper tree trimming, and defensible space for fire safety. These improvements can also support energy efficiency, meet insurance requirements, and attract buyers looking for sustainable, low-maintenance landscaping.

Helpful?

In San Jose, the duration of tree service projects depends on the job’s complexity. Tree removal for a mature valley oak or redwood may take up to two days, while tree trimming or pruning a single tree often finishes within a few hours. Stump grinding is typically completed in one to two hours, but emergency storm cleanup can extend over several days, especially after significant weather events.

Helpful?

When comparing tree service quotes in San Jose, look out for missing written estimates, unusually low bids, or requests for full payment upfront. Be wary if a provider lacks proper insurance, a valid business license, or a local address. Avoid companies that pressure you to approve unnecessary tree removal or topping, or those unwilling to discuss their safety protocols and equipment for tree trimming or stump grinding.
