Home Services reviews in El Cajon, California

We recently hired Pedro Tree Service for tree cutting and bush trimming on our yard & canyon and we are extremely satisfied with the results.
The team arrived on time and worked efficiently, skillfully cutting trees and trimming bushes.
Communication was excellent, and Pedro was always available to answer questions. His friendly manner made the experience pleasant and stress-free. He made sure the work was done to our satisfaction.
Thank you to Pedro and his team.

2022 was the first time I hired Pedro’s Tree Service. They took care of a paperbark tree outside our condo. They were very careful with protecting the property near the tree and were very thorough in clearing up any green waste. We now have so much more natural light and space and it was very professionally done.

Fast forward to 2025, we are now moving into a new house with many trees. We needed 3 palm trees and one umbrella tree removed. We also needed a tall jacaranda crowned and a ficus trimmed. They handled this extensive project in two days and with equal quality in delivery - super clean tree removals and trimming, as well as extra care in clearing any green waste.

100% I recommend Pedro’s Tree Service for both small and large projects as well as periodic yard maintenance. As returning customers we are very satisfied with the price, time, and quality of Pedro’s Tree Service. Thank you Pedro!

Pedro’s Tree Service did an excellent job removing six trees from my property. He was very punctual, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. The work was done quickly and carefully—he didn’t damage anything on the property, which I really appreciated. I got three quotes before deciding, and Pedro’s was the most affordable by far. Overall, great service at a great price. I highly recommend him to anyone needing tree work done.

Pedro removed 4 trees from our front yard. We live in the Old Town San Diego area in our neighbor's houses are just feet away. He took down 3 large pine trees and 1 very large podocarpus. His estimate was affordable, he provided me his workers compensation insurance, he provided me his liability insurance, he was very professional. They took the trees down and even did the stump grinding. Pedro and his team did a very clean job.

All the guys he works with Pedro are super professional. Thes guys did a phenomenal job taking down these trees with grace and tact. Extremely dangerous job and they deserve every penny.

Roy is the man. HE IS TRUSTWORTHY, QND GETS THE JOB DONE.

Professional, friendly, & hard-working! These guys did an AMAZING job! I highly recommend this company.

I have used these guys twice now and they are easy to work with, on time, professional and honestly priced, I definitely recommend them

Wonderful job! Guys couldn't have been nicer or more professional...so clean when I got home! Would definitely use your services again and refer. Thanks so much, Roy.

Roy did an amazing job very happy with my old Elm tree. Roy was friendly and informative. Would highly recommend him.

I was extremely pleased with Roy L. Schwartz Tree Service. They were consummate professionals. They were punctual, very communicative, charged a fair price, and did an excellent job! I will definitely be hiring them for future jobs.

Roy came out and gave me a fair bid on trimming my tree. He came out at the agreed time. He was very professional and did a great job in trimming my camphor tree. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you for a great job and I will call him out the next time I need a tree trimmed.

Roy responded to my call on Sunday during Labor Day weekend. He quickly came to my home to remove a large hazardous broken branch. I called several companies, and Roy was the only one who responded. Roy’s professional Team Trimmed my other tree on Labor Day. His prices were 20% lower than the company who has been trimming my tree for years. I wish I would have found Roy Schwartz Tree Service years ago

Roy took care of a prized tree that looked like it was dying. He arrived on time, was friendly, and he quickly diagnosed the problem. Among the various treatments, I was really impressed with the deep root custom fertilization. By the end of the day my tree was already looking healthier and we'll on the road to recovery. I will be using his services again.

Roy came out to my place after calling regarding an Oak Tree I had was turning brown. Roy scheduled a site visit the very afternoon I called. He examined the tree and made suggestions in hydration and nutrition to get it back. I scheduled to have the work accomplished. Roy arrived as indicated the very next morning on time. His equipment is top notch, clean, and very professional. Roy took time to explain the various chemicals and nutrients he was using and how they would benefit the tree. Treatment took about 3 hours, Roy and his assistant were constantly working as a team to accomplish the task. I would highly recommend Roy L. Schwartz and Son Tree Service to any of your Tree and Arborist needs.

My cat was stuck 30ft up in a palm tree. I called many other arborist but Roy was the only one that had a cherry picker and was willing to help me, even though it was an unusual request. He came right away, even though it was almost dark. He was so helpful, kind, considerate, professional, and safe. Most of all, he was persistent when the cat was moving to different areas of the tree and didn’t stop til my cat was safely down. Excellent service! Good work. I was very pleased with the service provided. Thank you Roy!

We have a 3 acre property in east county that has over 100 pine trees that range in age from over 30 years to just sprouted volunteer trees. Roy stopped by to look at removing some of the ones that looked pretty dead from pine bark beetles and other pests. After looking at them, he told me that he could treat them instead of removing them. He treated all of them for the pests and gave them some nutrients that they really needed on 7/11/2024. Today is 7/26/2024 and all of the trees have an amazing amount of new growth on them! I am sure that none of them will need to be removed now. Roy is a true professional with many years of experience and has some specialized equipment that really helped him bring my trees back to life. I highly recommend him to anyone with tree and plant issues.

What an outstanding find of Roy Schwartz who happened to be working on our street. His gorgeous truck rig is a giveaway to an amazing professional with decades of experience and training as an ISA Certified Arborist. The pride of our yard is a 50+ year old Hass avocado tree that is in declining health and production of fruit. Roy immediately identified major mite and fungi infections as well as problems with bark and root health. Our old girl is on the road to recovery now with several topical treatments, specialized feedings tailored to the tree and future trimming plans. He's also treating our Citrus and decorative yrees. And, if you pay attention to Roy, you'll receive an outstanding education! If you need a tree trimmer, there are hundreds to choose from. We have in the past with some really bad results. If you need an Arborist and Surgeon with a wealth of knowledge that is worth every cent he charges, Roy is definitely your professional. He is also one hell of a nice man and a pleasure to have in our home. His young son and helper too. Well done!!

We hired Roy to remove five 40' Italian Cypress trees. He had to deal with our pool on one side and an alley with power lines and our service drop on the other side. He came prepared with a tarp to cover the pool and plywood to protect our concrete. He was very skilled at maneuvering his bucket truck, avoiding the power lines, cutting off sections at a time and lowering them in the bucket to avoid them crashing to the ground. His crew did a great job cleaning up the debris. We were very impressed with the whole process and his respect for our property. He was also very professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with and attentive to our concerns about the process. His price was at the higher end but it was well worth it. We highly recommend him.

Thank you Roy.

I was told my ornamental pear tree was unsalvagable. I sick and at least 50 years old. Roy came out and took alook at it and though he couldn't promise anything he thought he could save it. year and ahalf later and a few dollars I have a beautiful blossuming pear tree and the leaves are a wonderful bright green. Thanks Roy. worth the price.
Up date on my sick pear tree. It 2025 and Roy came to trim and feed my tree. This spring it blossumed beautiful white and the leaves are a deep green again. My tree has a new life thanks to Roy.

Pretty shocked by all the 5 star reviews. Armstrong recommended Roy to me for help with a few trees and some other plant questions. He arrived 20 minutes late with no explanation, no apology, and was pretty blasé about it. Then we chatted for 40 mins. I found better information online to be frank. He may be knowledgeable to someone, but he seemed spacy and lost during our entire conversation. Then he quoted me $1000 to lop a handful of branches and do some minor tree shaping on another visit. I think it all could have been done in a total of 30 minutes. He didn't even have the awareness that he should have reduced his $250 consult fee for the conspicuous awkwardness, him being unacceptably late, etc. I found no value at all in this interaction. A HUGE letdown. Beware.

Roy Schwartz has been caring for my trees for many years. He loves trees and it is apparent in the attention he gives them. Plus he is an artist in trimming. He has saved my ancient jacaranda and several other of my 12 trees on my small property. He is conscientious, quick to respond and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Roy to anyone who wants the best care for their trees.
