Oscar’s Expert Tree Service

they were the best here in Sonora and will hire them next year to do more work

After talking to five tree trimming companies I picked Oscar’s expert tree service and I am very pleased with the results. Oscar is professional, reliable, and affordable. Highly recommended

Gus Lugo, you and your crew were absolutely AWESOME! I got my city permit Monday morning 12÷7÷15 and Gus had his crew at my home by 12:00 p.m. this same day. The crew worked hard and diligent in removing an enormous Magnolia tree. By the time I got home at 5:30 pm, the tree was gone. The next day the crew returned to grind the stump and take out another dead tree from our back yard. The entire job was completed by 3pm 12÷8÷15. Both trees and stumps gone, and their clean up better than our gardener (if we had a gardener).
I must admit, I did research other arborist and Gus Lugo came in at a competitive, but slightly higher price; however, Gus knocked the price down to $ 250.00 cheaper than any of my other quotes, that’s what got me. He was very profession, polite, and listened to all my concerns with regard to my neighbors home. Highly recommend Oscar’s Expert Tree Service.

I called Oscar Thursday and he came by the next day to give me an estimate. We set up today, Tuesday, for the tree trimming. His crew showed up at 7:30 a.m. and was done by 11:00 with full cleanup. My tree is beautifully trimmed! Oscar and his crew are professional, fast and I can’t say enough about how courteous they all are! This is the second time I have used Oscar’s service and will continue to highly recommend them!

Very professional, caring, courteous team. Took down a tree over 50 feet high. They made every effort to follow my desire to keep large chunks of the trunk, despite a very small area where they could drop the wood. Highly recommended to anyone needing tree work done.

Guys did a great job, showed up on time and finished on time. They cleaned up nicely all around including the neighbors yards. Job looks great, trees are more airy now and safer above my two story house (they trimmed three Oak trees). I later hired them to do the gutters, and they did a meticulous and careful work there as well.
I took off 1 star because we had a mixup with the neighbors, the crew went in there unannounced to prevent large branches from hitting the neighbor’s patio but the problem was resolved.
All in all I’m very happy, these guys care about the work they do and I’ll definitely use them for my next tree trim.

Fantastic job removing our tree and cleaning up the area. I would use them for removal again, but… the stumping was a huge problem. Poor communication, not showing up and inadequate equipment created a problem that dragged on and on. Hired another company to stump the tree.

Needed a large set of branches trimmed from a tree that was too high for me to get to. Oscar was one of the most responsive by phone when I called out to get quotes, and the most reasonably priced. He came out himself to check it out, provided a work order with an estimate, and set up a time for his team to come do the job.
The folks who came out to do the job were great. On time, fast, and they cleaned up after themselves so carefully. They were meticulous about taking all of the mini branches, leaves, etc out of the area for us. After they left, you wouldn’t have been able to tell that anything was different except for the branches missing.
The only reason I give them 4 stars is because we had a mix-​up on the time and they missed the original appointment. It was mildly inconvenient, but Oscar quickly rescheduled us once I called.
If I ever need help again I’d definitely give them a call.

Fast, professional, & thorough cleanup — they pruned & tidied up a very large old oak tree.
The crew started the afternoon after I got the estimate which was awesome — I didn’t expect them to be available so soon. They finished up the work the following day, even cleaning up the neighbor’s roof under the tree.

WE are so happy with these guys. They came all the way from SJ and not only came to estimate the cost to trim and clean up our massive redwoods, but came over TWICE to see them again and talk with me about specifics. Gabriel was extremely professional, courteous and timely each visit and gave us an estimate we couldn’t refuse. We would highly recommend them to anyone in the neighborhood. I interviewed 4 other tree companies and they were by far the most professional and cost effective. The trees look so healthy and happy!

Great service. They removed a huge tree from our side yard and provided a reasonable quote for the service. The crew was professional and did a good job.

These guys are AMAZING! The crew was very professional, quick and left my place cleaner than when they started. And must I tell you the price was way less than most of my other estimates from reputable companies. I will definitely used their services if needed in the future.

I saw them driving through my Danville neighborhood. They gave me a great price on chipping up a huge pile of tree branches.
Hard working. Good guys.
They cleaned everything up nicely.

I called Oscar’s Expert Tree Service to have them come out an provide me with an estimate to prune one tree and remove another. Oscar gave me a day and time when he would come by to give me an estimate. Oscar arrived on time, and provided me with a reasonable estimate. I asked Oscar when he could do the work, and he scheduled a date and time on the spot. Oscar’s crew arrived on time and completed the work exactly as requested. Oscar’s crew cleaned up everything, and left the areas cleaner than when they arrived. Oscar’s crews provided excellent service, and Oscar personally followed up on the service.

I had them take out a tree that was hanging over a neighbor’s house. There were a lot of big, heavy branches and it looked like I’d have a lawsuit to deal the next time a hard wind blew.
I don’t know how they did it, but not one branch fell on the neighbor’s roof.
Oscar has several people working for him and I don’t know if they’re all experts but the guy who took out my tree certainly was.
Oscar himself appears to be quite trustworthy and serious about pleasing customers so he’ll continue to get referrals. Clearly, he wants to build up his business and get ahead the old fashion way – by earning it.
Oh, and they’re relatively inexpensive which is a major plus.
Because they were inexpensive and they did a great job, I ended up tipping them – something I almost never do.
To sum up:
* trustworthy
* hard working
* highly skilled
* inexpensive
* dedicated to satisfy the customer

I wouldn’t use them because they charge $ 100 to just come over and take a look while his competitors do it for free. Also if you want a arborist report, they charge $ 175 per tree, which is a lot more expensive than the city’s arborist charge.

This past February I looked out at the yard and realized the fruit trees needed pruning pretty much immediately. It’d been a few years since I last had it done, and our trees are numerous and large. His crew worked on our plum, almond, ginormous fig, and two-​story apricot. Oscar came out and gave me a very fair estimate. For extra, I could’ve had him take away the debris, but I don’t mind having the city pick up our yard waste. He was able to get his crew out just a week or so later. The trees had at least six to eight feet removed to bring them back to manageable height, and they’ve been growing out for almost four months now. They look great, and I’m still going to get a good harvest from the apricot and fig despite the big pruning. I’m really impressed with what look like strategic cuts, allowing the trees to fill out to a beautiful, healthy shape.
Oscar’s crew also did a great job of cleaning up and taking everything out to the street. They even cut the large branches further down to a size the city’s hauler can easily handle. The pile at the end of my driveway was as neat as an SUV-​sized mound of hacked up trees can be.
In short, Oscar’s Expert Tree Service came out quickly and did a great job. I’ll definitely use them again.

I received two estimates to have some trees trimmed in my yard. I decided to go with Oscar not only because he was cheaper but he seemed nicer. His workers did a great job not only with trimming the trees but with the cleanup. They took care of everything in my yard and my neighbor’s yards as well. I will definitely use them in the future.

So Oscar came by this morning and I was in the shower! He waited for me for 30 minutes, apologized for what happened as his new employee did not know what he was doing
He climbed my tree and looked over all and said tree is fine, should not have recommended for tree service and he tried to give me back my check!
I told him it was not about the money and for him to keep it and I will rewrite my Unilocal review
I guess every small business have their challenges and at least he cared enough to try to make this issue right!
Give them a try as their work appears to be ok
Thanks

After my failed attempt to contact another highly rated tree trimmer I decided to contact Oscar’s Expert Tree Service to trim and shape a single birch tree. I reached Oscar that evening and asked him if he did small jobs and he responded positively with the stipulation that there was a $ 175 minimum.
I gave him the go ahead and we setup an appointment for 12:00 on a Tuesday. He called Tuesday at about 11:30 to tell me that he was running behind and that he would be there at 1:00. Sure enough he was true to his word.
The job was done quickly. Oscar asked me if it was to my liking and then they cleaned up. All done within 45 minutes.
Insured and registered with the California State License Board (
