Jake’s Tree Services

We had a great experience with Luis. He came out promptly and provided a written quote. No pressure to commit on the spot. He followed up later in the week and provided great information on trimming and shaping the tree. My job was a single tree that needed trimming and shaping. He did the job on time, all-​in (trimming and disposal) wonderfully. The tree looks excellent and healthy. Would recommend him for another job.

Luis Vazquez, Owner, came out to give me an estimate. I needed to have 7 Monterey Pine trees pruned and 2 removed. (Prepping for what seems to be an El Nino year)
Luis was very professional and a very personable guy. In no way did he rush to be in and out of here. He answered my questions and concerns in a very detailed manner. I learned quite a bit from his expertise on tree removal and care. My backyard is on a sloped area, so my concern was for potential trees toppling over, hence the call to Jakes Landscaping.
His crew he sent out for the 2 day job, were also very professional. They worked very hard and diligently to complete the job. I noticed too that did not leave the property when it was lunch time. They stayed, ate their lunches and were back to work within 30 min, if that. Samuel, his lead guy climbed those trees with little effort. These trees were over a 100 feet tall ! Safety was a very important issue for me, and I had no worries. The safety equipment that Samuel wore, put my mind at ease.
This is the first time I’ve had to utilize a tree service. Of course I did my due diligence and shopped around. 4 bids. Luis’ bid came in the lowest, and his work was the best. Even if all these bids were licensed individuals, I felt rushed by the 3 others. In and out of here in 5 minutes.
Jake’s Landscape and Tree Service is a company that will not disappoint. I am a strong believer that you get what you pay for, but in the case of Jake’s, they certainly give more than what you pay for. They are fair, cost effective, trustworthy, reliable and listen to your needs. No ‘LIP SERVICE” here. In fact, the rates were so reasonable that I decided to tip the crew. They respectfully completed the job with a great cleaning. There were not straggler limbs or branches. Even the saw dust was cleaned up. They left my place more spotless than I had it! I even requested some rose bushes and other bushes to be trimmed back that were not part of the original quote. Of course, Luis obliged me with a smile.
Tree service is not the only service this company offers. Luis and his crew will be returning to do a major brick work re-​lay on our patio. And after that we will have them modify some other concrete work. I cannot wait for Spring 2016 to deal with plants, irrigation etc. Really Jake’s is a one stop shop service.
One will not regret calling Jake’s Landscape & Tree Services. If you are looking for quality work, done by a trustworthy owner and his crew, with great communication skills to boot then choose Jake’s !

Luis, from Jake’s Tree Services, gave me a competitive quote to cut down my tall pine tree that had been infested with beetles and died within a couple weeks. I had gotten 3 other quotes from other services on Unilocal along with some tree cutters that had passed my house and saw the dead tree. What was important to me though, besides working with someone that gets 5 stars and offers a good price, was that they were bonded and had insurance for their workers and I wanted them protected. A lot of the guys that knocked on my door didn’t have insurance so I could have gotten sued if a worker had fallen out of the the tree while working.
The team took a day and a half to conquer this old tree. They chopped it down efficiently, cut the majority of the tree into good firewood, stacked the firewood where I requested, grinded the stump, and cleaned up the mess. An easy 5-​star service.

Several weeks ago I contacted Luiz at Jake’s Landscaping & Tree Services to fix a sprinkler issue that we’d had since November. I found Luiz on Unilocal,and the reviews looked good so I called him up. He met me at my house after work that same day. He listened to what we needed to have done with our sprinkler system (including new wiring, a new box, new valves, re-​routing the old sprinkler line, and hooking the sprinkler up to a new faucet that we’d had installed previously. I also showed Luiz a tree that had died last year that I wanted taken out. Luiz gave a rough estimate on the spot, and also gave me a few different options to help save some money. He said he would give me a written estimate once he got home, and promised that he’d have it sent to me by 7:00 p.m. that evening. Sure enough, I received the estimate and Luiz followed it up with a call. I told him I wanted to go over the estimate with my wife. The estimate was fair for the work that was to be done, which was a big selling point for me. We accepted the offer, and Luiz’s staff came to our house the next day and completed everything we talked about and more. Luiz had recommended moving the sprinkler box to a less conspicuous place, and it was a great suggestion. The box looked great, the workers cleaned everything up before we got home for work, and the tree was taken out. They did it all! And our sprinklers work great, much better than before. I would recommend giving Luiz a call if you need any sprinkler or tree work done.

I called them to clean up a shaggy Japanese maple and two other trees. They came and took great care in trimming the maple to ensure the beauty was brought out. It was painstaking work, and they did a good job and cleaned up well. Luis has a good eye for the overall form of trees and provided me many insights on how wind flowed through trees and influenced their safety impact on houses.

Luis and his team built a good neighbor fence for us. We are very pleased with the result. Price was competitive, communication with us and neighbors was outstanding, the work progressed steadily and on schedule with good follow-​through and clean-​up. The fence was of significantly better build quality than our other fencing. Suffice it to say that we would hire Luis again in a second and are, in fact, looking for additional projects for him to take on.

I hired Luis yesterday to repair my backyard sprinklers that were broken by the last person I hired to repair these. Shazam — 1-​day turnaround, all my backyard sprinklers are working 24 hours after Luis stopped by to investigate and give me an estimate. He’s a sprinkler miracle worker. I couldn’t be happier and will be hiring him back again for additional work. I highly recommend Luis

Jake has done several projects for me over the last few years, mostly tree trimming and clearance. His guys also built a retaining wall for me recently. Good work, reasonably priced every time. Recommended.

I have had Luis and his team come out to my house at least once a year for as long as I can remember and I will never call anyone else. They mostly his come in for maintenance every Spring. However, he has done great landscaping in my front and back yard on occasion, and has also revamped my sprinkler system recently. His team is very thorough and detail-​oriented and they are also really good guys. And, on top of that, Luis is a superb guy and is also quite interesting. I have a difficult time thinking you will be able to find anyone who does as good of a job as they do, let alone for such a reasonable price. I couldn’t possibly recommend Jake’s Tree & Landscape Services any more highly. BCP

Luis was really prompt with a quote and was able to give me needed information for my project. He also was able to schedule my job on a Saturday so that I could be around to watch. The crew was really good about not damage surrounding landscape. highly recommend!

I feel fortunate to have found Luis to take down a large tree in our backyard. Living in San Francisco, there isn’t much space between houses and I knew that i needed to hire a pro to carefully bring down my 40 year old, Monterrey Pine that was dying. Luis provided a very fair quote and was nothing but professional in everything that he did. Luis and his team moved quickly to remove the tree, haul the wood, and build us a beautiful wood pile of some of the smaller logs.
What’s even better, i had a great time talking with Luis about his experience in the landscaping business. He’s extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure i was happy with the job.
I will absolutely be working with Luis again in the near future. I highly recommend him to everyone.
