"We had two redwood trees come crashing onto our house during the March 2023 'bomb cyclone' event, punching a hole through our roof... Dennis came out within 2 hours, and Miguel and his 7-man team were on site the very next morning."
"I asked about a price for trimming back my drooping palm trees and a twisty old yucca. Dennis and Miguel gave me a good price and said they could do it TODAY! WOW! They Did!"
"Since 2016, Dennis has been my go-to person when tree service is needed... They have short waiting time, work efficiently, and make the site clean upon finishing the job."
"We had an emergency where our tree fell onto our neighbor's property yesterday while we were out of town... Dennis and his crew truly saved the day and were so kind/prompt etc."

Common questions
Yes. Emergency tree removal is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for storm damage, fallen trees and hazardous limbs. Call (650) 454-0373 and a crew is dispatched. Emergency removals cost the same as daytime work: no after-hours surcharge.
Often, yes. Los Gatos protects most trees 12 inches or more in diameter on developed residential lots, and 8 inches on hillside lots, measured 4.5 feet above grade. Blue oak, black oak, California buckeye and Pacific madrone are protected from 8 inches anywhere. We check your tree against the ordinance and handle the Town application for you.
The Town allows emergency removal, but it has to be approved first by Parks and Public Works (or the police after hours), with photos sent within 72 hours. Call us and we walk through that call with you, then make the tree safe.
For standard (non-emergency) jobs, your work is scheduled and completed within 3 days of your approved estimate.
Yes. We are fully insured, with ISA-certified arborists on staff. Your property is protected on every job.
Nothing. An ISA-certified arborist looks at the trees, explains what needs a permit, and gives you a written, itemized quote with no obligation.
