Tony Gomez Tree Service

Tony Gomez Tree Service runs tree work out of El Cajon, California. They handle tree trimming on palms and other trees, tree removal, stump grinding, landscape maintenance, and debris cleanup. The company has served El Cajon and nearby spots for over 25 years with a bucket truck and chipper equipment. Services cover both homes and businesses, including mobile home parks.

Homeowners call them for big jobs like taking down 50-foot trees and grinding the stumps afterward, or trimming six or more palms at once without using spikes on the trunks. Crews show up for pine tree removals with stump work, jacaranda thinning, and fruitless mulberry trimming. Reviewers note the crews handle storm-damaged trees that fall near houses, and they finish with full debris removal from yards and streets. One job involved eight large pines over two days, while another covered 20 palms for a business site.

They schedule most jobs within a week and give new-customer discounts off already reasonable prices. Crews arrive on time wearing full protective gear, communicate during the work, and leave the site clean. Service stays in El Cajon and the surrounding areas. Some customers report the office skips the promised day-before call about arrival times, and a few note drivers moving fast on freeways with trailers attached.

Reviews split between praise for fast, careful work on large palms and removals and complaints about oil spills, gate jumping, plant damage, blocked driveways, and slow responses to estimate requests. Google lists the business at 3.4 from zero reviews, with common mentions of palm trimming, clean up, safety, and scheduling.

“Great service, highly skilled, fast and efficient, good clean up! The negative reviews below are from people that have no clue what they are talking about. These guys are the real deal, I cut trees weekly and know quality work when I see it. I will use them again for jobs too big for me to handle, like the one in the attached video of them taking down one of three VERY large palms.”

“I needed 2, 50'+ trees removed from my front yard and the stumps ground. I was able to get it scheduled the next week and 10% off for being a new customer; their prices are already reasonable without the discount. They showed up on time, wore their PPE, and cleaned up the mess afterward. I am very happy with the service.”

“We've used Tony Gomez Tree Service several times over the years. Their work has always been exceptional. Recently, we had six large palm trees trimmed. The crew was wonderful in that the work was perfect and the clean up fastidious. They honored my requirement that they not use spikes. My only complaint is with the office staff. I was told I would be called the day before with an approximate time the workers would arrive. I received no call and the workers arrived at 7:30 a.m. I couldn't blame them for the inconvenience.”

“whoever you’re hiring to be your drivers need to be fired! caught them making reckless maneuvers on the freeway being inconsiderate of the cars and traffic around them! especially with a trailer in the back attached to the vehicle that’s a GREAT way to cause an accident . do better !”

“My neighbors are getting service from Tony Gomez Tree Service & Landscape Management this morning. They're in their driveway chipping away at the tree they've cut down and they didn't even bother to come over to ask me to move my brand new car away from where they are working. My car is filthy and covered in dust and wood chips, so is my driveway and the street in front of my home. I called the number on the truck to speak with someone and spoke to a women who wasn't very helpful. She asked me if I spoke to the crew...why would I go over there while they're actively using heavy machinery to chip wood, and using chainsaws? The crew is covered from head to toe in protective gear, do you think I'm going over in my sweats and slippers? Sure, that seems smart and safe, I'll walk right over and talk to them now. Anyway, she called me back and laughed at my concerns which I found to be rude and obnoxious. As a new homeowner who needs to get landscaping work and tree trimming done, I'll never use this service or recommend it to anyone. They made a great lasting impression with their lack of concern and customer service, they should care more about how their affecting the neighbors”

“This is the 4th major job I have hired Tony Gomez for. Today's was 8 large pine trees with stump grinding. From Sal giving me a bid, to the crews over the last two days. My experience was once again fantastic. They were on time, communicated very well, and the clean up once the job was complete was top notch. I am very satisfied once again with they're price point and quality of the work that was completed. Again, I will hire Tony Gomez, no questions asked.”

“Tony Gomez and his very capable crew have serviced our family, both on rental and personal properties, for years. They know exactly how to get the work done in a safe and timely manner. I love working with the technicians because they are good men and interesting in doing whatever is needed to make the client happy.”

“I have used this tree company for years, they trim 12 palms trees for me and 8 for my neighbors. Last season they did a terrible job. One of their trucks spilled a 4’ x 4’ spot of some kind of oil in our street without trying to clean it up or notifying us. The trimming job left loose skins hanging from the trees. I notified them and they came back and clean up the neighbors trees and said they would be back to do mine. They never showed. I called and sent emails which went unanswered. This year I am looking for a company that is reliable. Do not use Tony Gomez tree trimming unless you are willing to accept a poor job!”

“Amazing service. Easy to schedule for 20 palm tree trimming. Very affordable, cleaning of debris and efficiently quick on the job order. Will have repeat service for my business.”

“Workers pulled into a gas station going way faster then should with a commercial utility truck with wood chipper on the back. SLOW DOWN!! ITS NOT A COMPETITION! These guys are a joke. Putting people's safety at risk. Not cool this need to be addressed so handle business.”

“Tony has been trimming trees at our house for years. They do a very professional job, they are quick, they clean up their mess. He does it right so he doesn't have to come back for at least 3 years, and that is what he told me. Just had it done last month and he thinned it throughout. I am a happy camper.”

“I live in a condo with a locked gate to my personal yard. The guys jumped my gate to get into my yard while I wasn't home. When I got home I saw that they broke 2 of my potted plants by letting palm tree cuttings fall on top of them. Why didn't they move my plants? I asked if they were done in my yard. The guy said "yes." So I locked my gate again and went inside. Turns out they were not done. Unbeknownst to me they chopped another part from my yard. They left the 5 foot tall cutting in my yard instead of asking to be let back in so they could clean up their mess. My HOA hired this crappy company. If you want cheap (not a price reference), inconsiderate service, then this company is for you. Sincerely, peeved.”

“After the recent winter storm of rain & very strong winds. A tree fell - just missing our home. Tony Gomez tree service guys came out next morning. They did a fantastic job. With clean up & professionalism.”

“Thank you very much for quick great service”

“If I could give zero stars, I would. This company was at my townhouse company all day today and was blocking our driveway for the majority of the day. I asked them multiple times to move, so that I could get in/out of my house. I had multiple errands to run and every time I came back, they were more in the way. I had to park in the street because they refused to move. Then as I was crossing the street to my house, I tripped and fell in the street and the landscapers stood there and laughed at me. I had road burn and was bleeding on my hands, knees, feet, and face. I ripped my clothes and fell on my dog, and these guys LAUGHED at me. We called the owner of the company to report to him how inhumane and rude his staff is, and we had to leave a message with the front desk and he never called us back. Clearly these people don't care at all!! Don't give them your money or business!!!!”

“I didn’t get no tree service I came home truck in my driveway trees all in my yard I just had my RV cleaned and pressure washed now it’s all messed up I don’t appreciate they left my yard a mess and trees on my roof a branch was in my air conditioner didn’t know it we been running it now A/C unit doesn’t work . Great job yall WTH”

“Can't say whether or not Tony's business earns a great review, since they've taken over 3 weeks and never returned phone calls or e-mails. It shouldn't be that hard to get an estimate. If it's this hard BEFORE I hire you, what is it like once you are hired.”

“Tony Gomez Tree Service came highly recommended and is the best They just laced a messy, old jacaranda and I am thrilled with the result, especially since they are reasonably priced.”

“The 3 Guys with 2 trucks, one boom truck and a truck towing a Chipper truck did a great job trimming my Large Fruitless Mulberry Tree. Cleaned up all the debris , I will use them again.”

“They destroyed a whole garden from a Friend in a santee mobile home park in order to cut a tree, they didn’t bother on announcing to my friend the some Debris could fall , they didn’t clean anything broke many of her plants, many pots and many decoration leaving my friend sad about her garden.”
