Pmc Tree Service

This is a company that puts the customer at ease: great customer service (they called us within 30 minutes after we placed our request and scheduled a time to work); reliability (the crew arrived right on time to start trimming), great communication (the manager of the crew, Jose, went over all of the details of our request and made sure that his crew understood exactly what needed to be done), efficient work (everything was done within the time window that they provided us earlier) and attention to safety (making sure that nothing else was affected by their work and a very thorough cleanup that left no traces of the trimming). 5 stars: we will certainly use them again for all of our tree service needs!

I believe that I’m the neighbor that Kelly S. was referring to in his review. PMC did a great job for us. We had a HUGE pine tree in front of our house. This pine tree was 5 stories high I think. The problem was two-​fold. First the roots where getting a bit too close to our foundation so we were advised to take the tree down. Second, the tree needed some trimming so that it didn’t get in the way of our solar installation that will be coming in a couple of weeks. I received a few bids on my own but I got a referral to PMC from my friend who had used them numerous times in the past. PMC’s bid came in about 33−50% lower than those of other businesses that you will find on Unilocal.I normally do not steer towards the lowest bid but the strong referral from my neighbor helped me decide to go with PMC.
A couple of things to note. The main guy, Paul, is sometimes kind of hard to hear him over the phone as he is a bit older and has a bit of an accent. Its definitely better to call them than send them email though. Also, I did not have them grind our stump. I decided that I would save the $$$ for sometime after the solar installation. Lastly, PMC didn’t get involved in the permit process and was upfront about that. So I called various contacts at the County and discovered that I didn’t need a permit for this job. I feel that this also addresses some of the negative comments regarding PMC on Unilocal.As a homeowner, I’m OK with it being my issue to make sure that that the work that I hire PMC to do is permitted. I’d rather that they focus their energy on doing what they do well… maintaining trees. The minute that they need to start diving into the permit process, you start diluting their value and this impacts every aspect of their business.
So when Paul’s team came out, they did a great job. The tree was gone in a few days despite the rain. They worked on Saturday but not on Sunday. There was some damage to our steel fence but they promptly came out and fixed it the next day. Honestly, with the size of this tree, I don’t think that it would have been possible to take this tree down without something getting in the way… the tree was really was that big. They took a lot of care to make sure that they didn’t damage our house.
Would I recommend PMC to someone else? Yes, of course. Did they do everything that I wanted them to do? Yes. Were they upfront about the things that they wouldn’t do? Yes, absolutely. Do I have any regrets about picking them over another outfit? Nope.

I saw this company taking out my neighbors trees. We went over to ask them what they would charge to take out a tree in our front yard. And it’s gone today, it was one day, they did an awesome job, fast service, & excellent care. I will recommend them to anybody. All I can say is thank you and my neighbors think you more!

Reasonable price but they didn’t trim a whole lot off – especially the small branches that shouldn’t be growing off of some of the main ones. At this rate, they will need to come every year.

Could not be more happier with the service. Talk to Paul to remove a palm tree at the back yard. The quote was very reasonable. Then Jose and his crew came out and did a great job, not only removing a very tall palm tree, but also trimmed the trees at the back. Excellent service, and would highly recommend the team.

I received an introduction letter and the appropriate Insurance certificates from PMC Tree Service in the mail. We have two very large Oak Trees that needed to be cut back. I called and spoke to Paul. He sent Jose out to give us a quote, the same day. We were very happy with the price. So we scheduled the work to be done the following weekend. The crew showed up on a Saturday with three Climbers, three men on the ground and a chipper. They began working through Power Lines, Fences and Buildings. They cleaned up the entire area and put back Playground equipment. They did a BEAUTIFUL job! They were very respectful, easy to work with and completed the job in one day. I am a FAN!!!

I called PMC Tree Service on a Monday and was contacted by Paul the same day. He came out to my home and provided me a quote. He scheduled his crew to come out on Wednesday. His crew worked all day. They trimmed down my big pine tree in the backyard, a big palm tree, and three tress in the front yard. His crew did a great job.

We just had PMC Tree remove a large Pine Tree. The quote was much less than other tree removal companies. The team did an outstanding job. The tree was in a an extremely difficult area between Pergolas and also very large. They lowered each limb with ropes and did a great job removing the stump. They even helped us grind out an area for the replacement tree. We highly recommend Paul and his team at PMC. —Mike

This company removed a couple of dead trees in our yard and trimmed several others. They also agreed to fertilize my existing fruit trees but didn’t have the fertilizer with them the day they cameto do the work and promised to return a few days later to finish the job. I paid them $ 950 payment in full and also asked that they pull some of the ivy overgrowth when they returned. The never came back as promised and never returned my phone calls. If you call their office you will get an answering service which seems to be quite used to dodging customers.

A had a big sick tree in my front yard that was dropping large branches near area that cars park often. I got permit form the city and then called few companies for have the tree removed. The owner of PMC Tree Services was the first to respond and I should say he was very polite and friendly. He showed up in time for the free estimate. He gave good price which I accepted. I had gotten other estimates a year ago which were much higher. He made sure that I have the proper permit and got a copy of it. They showed up in time and did a clean job. I wanted to remove a larger diameter of the stump than was originally planned. For a nominal extra charge he did that too. The large tree that was removed was near other small delicate plants. THey protected those tiny plants well and did not cause any damage. I have read the negative reviews of other people who technically did not have a direct involvement with this company. We all know that at times some owners can be very pushy and demanding. Of course those tress were not removed without full demand and knowledge of the property owner. The owner of house should take 99% of the blame before blaming anyone else. This owner knew well that a permit was denied on more than one occasion for his subject trees. So I believe that customers have first responsibility to get tree removal permit form the city then after they have the permit in hand, they should get removal estimates. Overall I am very happy with PMC tree removal. I had no surprises and their price was better than other estimates. BY the way as far as I know, only people who are in direct transaction with any business should place reviews of their own experience. In this case neighbors have left most of negative reviews! Now imagine someone is unhappy with a washing machine repair and then the whole neighborhood living negative reviews for the repair man!!! Is that fair? You judge.

I can’t give these guys any stars. they never showed up to our appointment! When I called them back 1 hr. & 45 min. later and said, «Hi, we spoke this morning and had an appointment for 1.» he replied, «Yes, I know, pero we no go.» Pretty great explanation for me to write this review. Don’t bother with these FOOLS.

If you like annoying the crap out of your neighbors with dueling chainsaws at 8am, hire these jerks.

Had PMC remove a big tree in my backyard. Their price was to include stump grinding and removal. They took out the tree and said they’d come back the next day to finish stump removal. They never came back and wouldn’t return my calls. My fault for paying them at the end of day 1, but they were not honest.

PMC tree service has done an excellent job in trimming and topping trees on my Gilroy property. I’ve just hired him to top another tree, a tall eucalyptus that is right next to our road. I’m very worried that a big winter storm might bring this tree down on the road. Rather than removing the tree, Paul Musso suggested that he top the tree, taking the top half off and shaping the rest of the tree to keep it from looking «butchered». Paul is a gentleman, and I’m very glad that a friend recommended PMC to me.

I saw this on the news – what a crazy thing–
But shouldn’t the homeowners who paid for the service be more at fault? They must have really pushed to get the trees out – and they obviously didn’t care a lick about the permits–

You reap what you sow. This company has lost my business due to their unethical behavior in illegally chopping down three trees even though they knew ahead of time that it was not permitted.

PMC is a local company and I used to use them for my garden in Willow Glen. They claimed to be more than mow and blow, but they were not. I stopped using them years ago.
This week PMC cut down a series of beautiful, old trees without a permit. In fact, the permit had been denied several times and so they intentionally cut them down on an early Sat. morning on a holiday weekend.
Do not use this immoral company.

This tree company cut down three giant trees in my neighborhood with NO permits.
That’s illegal, folks. Don’t use these guys.
