Tree reviews in San Jose, California

Lucatero Tree Services has done a great job helping with my property in Los Altos Hills. We unfortunately had several oak trees die in the past two years. Lucatero service carefully removed these very large trees while preserving the surrounding landscape. They also did an artful pruning of one the remaining oaks to bring back its beauty. They are always on time, careful, safe, and do a great job cleaning up. They were referred to me by my father and I have referred them to several neighbors. I've hired them several times. They have all the gear to climb trees professionally and chippers to clean up the branches.

Had a large tree break and fall during the recent storm. Contacted Lucatero to deal with the tree as well as trim others near my home. Cesar was very responsive and after consulting with him, his crew arrived the very next day. The crew spent nearly a day on the job trimming multiple trees and dealing with a large amount of debris. At the time of completion, the cleanup was nothing short of terrific. I plan to use their services in the future if and when other trees require trimming.

I had great experience - the team provided an estimate the same day I called them and the price was very reasonable. They came a few days later to do the job, proactively and for free removed a few small dead trees and very accurately removed our large tree that died without damaging nearby pool house and other plants. After the job they cleaned everything up. Highly recommend.

Cesar and the crew are really professional and friendly. They did a great job for my front and backyard. Reliable, I quick and quality service brings peace of mind! They also cleaned up before leaving.
Definitely will recommend to everyone!

I have hired Lucatero tree service several time over the year. Great work every time. I live in the Santa Cruz mountains on five acres. This project was a major thinning of nine oak trees to improve fire safety of our home, pull the tree canopy back from over the swimming pool to limit the leaves falling in the pool and increase the solar heating for the pool. These trees have not been thinned in 50 years. The pictures show the beautiful results of the professional job the crew did in this two day project.
A combination of chipping and burning, we live in Santa Cruz county, was used to dispose of the trimmed material. This approach allowed for a economic project.
They also cleaned up after the work was completed.

I highly recommend Lucatero tree service.
GREAT work, fair price.

Compared to other companies I have reached out to, Lucatero Tree Services were VERY responsive in providing an estimate and came the next day. I was very impressed as to how professional and time efficient the team was. The area was cleared a lot quicker than I had expected and right on time for an event that was going to be held at our property.

Most definitely will be recommending to others for any landscaping needs!

We have a lot of trees on our property in the Santa Cruz mountains. Over the years we’ve used many different companies to trim and cut down trees. Several years ago we started to use Cesar and his guys, and have used them ever since, for all of our tree care. They are the best! They are friendly, prompt, reasonably priced, and genuinely nice guys to work with. Their teamwork is great and they do a wonderful and tidy job. I would highly recommend them.

Cesar and his crew are absolutely the best. I have worked with them several times over the years and even referred them to several friends. The result is always the same - professional, courteous and outstanding work that I am completely satisfied with. Cesar is always responsive and always has the right attitude. I highly recommend Lucatero Tree Services to anyone looking for quality tree work.

Lucatero arrived as planned to view the site where a large oak had fallen due to recent storms. He briefly explained the work his team would be able to perform, and gave a verbal quote. We felt it was a fair price, so agreed to proceed.
A team of 3 workers arrived on the day and at the time promised, bringing a large truck and chipper with them. They were able to completely remove the tree (we opted to leave the stump) and do the cleanup within 3 hours. The crew was very friendly and courteous. The yard looked great when they were finished. I'd recommend Lucatero Tree Services, and will call him for future work.

My good neighbor and I were both looking for tree work, she needed a large tree thinned out and trimmed back while I was looking for a reasonable cost for tree and stump removal. Cesar and his team did an excellent job, were flexible regarding scheduling, good communications and did a great job. If we need additional work, Cesar will be our first call.

I had a fantastic experience with Lucatero Tree Services ! Their team was punctual, professional, and did an outstanding job. They not only trimmed my trees to perfection but also cleaned up thoroughly afterward. I was impressed with their attention to detail and how they took care to preserve the health of the trees. I highly recommend them for all your tree care needs. 11/10 I will definitely be a long time client.

Caesar and his crew have cut down several trees in our yard and has worked on our neighbors trees as well. He does an outstanding job for a fair price. He has always been on time and always answers the phone. Very nice people to work with. We highly recommend them!

Caesar, the owner of the company, is very easy to work it. He arrives on time for your appointment. When they come to do the work he stays and supervises his crew. They come prepared with all safety gear needed. Highly recommend!

I found Cesar while his crew was working at the neighborhood. Cesar was very nice. He made arrangements right away. They did a great job and even cleaned afterwords. I highly recommend this company to everyone for the fair price and quality of their work.

On early December 2024, city of San Jose ordered a structural trimming for the big tree in my front yard. I called Lucatero Tree Services and talk to Cesar in late December. By 1/6/2025, Cesar and his team worked on my tree. His team did a excellent job and thoroughly cleaned up after their work. I'm happy with Cesar's services. Quynh L.

Lucatero Tree Services did a fantastic job! They were professional, efficient, and ensured our overly grown trees were removed with a lot of care for the surroundings. Their team was punctual, cleaned up thoroughly, and provided excellent service at a fair price. Highly recommend!

Cesar and his crew did an excellent job in trimming many tall bay trees on our property. They arrived on time and got the job done very quickly. We are happy to recommend this company. Cesar has worked for many of our neighbors and came highly recommended to us.

I had an excellent experience with Lucatero Tree Service! They were prompt, arrived on time, and got the job done efficiently. Their pricing is highly competitive, and I felt like I got great value for the work they did. They were also very trustworthy and honest throughout the entire process, which made me feel confident in their expertise. Plus, their open availability made scheduling super easy. I highly recommend them for any tree service needs!

I can’t say enough good things about this landscaping company. From the very first day, they impressed me with how professional, organized, and hardworking they were. They completely transformed my yard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

They didn’t just mow the lawn or trim a few bushes they took their time to carefully shape every hedge, remove dead branches from the trees, and edge the lawn with incredible precision. They even cleaned up areas I didn’t think they’d touch, like along the fence line and around the flower beds. Every part of the yard looks polished and fresh, almost like a brand-new property.

What really stood out was the pride they took in their work. You could tell they weren’t just trying to get the job done quickly. They paid attention to the smallest details, like making sure every leaf was cleared away and every plant looked balanced and healthy. They even offered helpful suggestions for maintaining the yard and improving a few overgrown spots I had overlooked.

Their team was respectful, courteous, and worked tirelessly in the heat without ever cutting corners. By the time they finished, I felt like they had given me more than just a service they gave me peace of mind. I finally feel proud of how my home looks from the outside.

If you're looking for a landscaping team that treats your yard like it's their own and puts in real effort to deliver high-quality results, look no further. I’m genuinely grateful for their work and will definitely be calling them again in the future.

I highly recommend Lucatero Tree Service. Cesar was very communicative and professional. His pricing is very fair, and he was careful not to damage my solar panels.

Caesar and team helped me cut down a pretty big tree, about 15” in trunk diameter 30 ft tall. They offered great prices for the service, did a great job and cleaned everything. Very happy with them.
