Alamo City Arbor Care

Alamo City Arbor Care runs tree service work from Schertz, Texas. Owner John C. is a certified arborist who oversees jobs and directs crews in the field. Jon handles many of the on-site assessments and estimates while Mike takes calls for scheduling and pricing. The company focuses on trimming, full removals of dead or damaged trees, and stump grinding for local homeowners.

Customers bring them in for storm-fallen oaks that threaten power lines, dead hackberries that need cutting and stump removal, and live oaks growing too close to patios or irrigation lines. Mike shows up fast with a fair written estimate and often gets crews started the same day. Crews led by David or Jon use an air spade when needed to protect roots and concrete, finish the cuts cleanly, and grind stumps so nothing remains visible. Reviewers note the work stays quiet compared with other crews and finishes without extra damage to yards or decks.

They answer calls quickly, sometimes within minutes, and crews arrive on time even during rain. Pricing comes in lower than several competing bids while still covering the full scope, and communication stays straightforward from first contact through cleanup. Work happens in the immediate area around Schertz with no long delays between quote and completion.

Reviewers give consistent five-star marks for the combination of speed, reasonable cost, and property respect, with repeated comments on honest advice that sometimes means turning down unneeded work. The company earns praise for leaving sites cleaner than they found them and for following through on larger jobs like clearing dozens of trees across multiple projects.

“Very pleased with the service! Mike made scheduling a breeze and gave me a thorough and fair estimate. A large team of workers arrived on time, were super respectful of my property and managed the job in record time. Impressive!! Highly recommend and will absolutely use again.”

“My go-to for tree trimming. Truly professional; they are prompt, expert, efficient and surprisingly quiet during the trimming process. I’ve seen, and heard, other tree trimmers working similar jobs in the neighborhood and they seem to take twice as long and twice as noisy running chain saws and mulching machines almost the entire time. I’ve used Alamo City Arbor for years and will definitely continue to do so!”

“Great people to do business with! I called, and Mike was super responsive. He came out and gave a fair estimate and got to work that day. Our trees look great and he was recommended by our neighbor and we are happy with our choice. Also, the crew is amazing and cleaned up nicely. I appreciate them very much.”

“This last Winter and then warmth and Winter again killed a tree in my backyard. The tree was about three years old and was the third tree that unfortunately died on us. My wife and I are practical and like anyone want the best bang for our buck. I had used two other tree services previously and the price was a little steep but near market at the time. Either way they were decent but not great. Alamo City Arbor Care was fast, friendly, professional, and I even saved money with tree removal. They removed the tree and ground up the stump so quickly that I barely knew they were there. Smooth and efficient at a terrific value. I mean you can check around and compare but we are sure you won't find this type of work for less at this level. We recommend Alamo City Arbor Care for all your tree services. Thanks John and crew!”

“The 5-star reviews are warranted! I am usually suspicious of 5-star reviews, but after selecting Alamo City Arbor Care to remove three trees in my yard, I know that this company is truly outstanding and deserves the praise given in other reviews. Specifically, during a recent wind storm a large tree in my front yard fell, threatening our power lines. We called Alamo City Arbor Care late in the afternoon to see if they could help. The owner responded within minutes. After discussing the urgent fallen tree issue, we asked him to look at our other trees (more than 20), knowing that a couple of them were also dangerously close to falling. A plan was put together to remove three trees, and a quote was provided on-the-spot. We found the cost was very reasonable for the work to be done, and since the fallen tree was a hazard, the owner agreed to execute the work the following day. The crew arrived first thing the next morning, and we were impressed that there were plenty of workers and ample machinery to get the job done. The team quickly and effectively accomplished everything needed. Their attention to safety was exceptional, and they did a great job of cleaning up after their work. I h”

“Just Great! Alamo City Arbor Care is top notch. Price is great, Guys are fast, dependable, and friendly. I have used Alamo multiple times on my trees, from trimming to removals, they have never damaged anything, trees look great, and they leave my yard and deck cleaner than when they arrived.”

“First time I have ever used Alamo City Arbor Care and it certainly wouldn't be the last! So impressed in every aspect: Crew lead by David, was precise, efficient, respectful and clean). Owner John C. was so easy to work with and his expertise as a certified arborist brought great relief knowing that our beautiful 125-175 year old oaks would be taken well care of (John actually showed to the sight and directed his crew chief before work began). Received 3 other arborist bids as well as another non-certified tree person and John was flexible and so fair and reasonable! (Great down-to-earth guy to boot). It goes without saying I would recommend Alamo City Arbor Care in a heart-beat to those that desire value in certified tree care: great quality at a reasonable price!!! Psalm 1:3”

“Jon and his crew are amazing. Twice he came out to assess a large live oak vs. my patio and went above and beyond to excavate under patio, utilized an air spade to minimize damage to patio, tree and irrigation system. Gave me my best option to keep tree and patio and clean up afterwards left barely a sign they were ever there. A great company and crew.”

“Jon and the guys from Alamo City Arbor Care did a fantastic job today. We had two Hackberry’s completely removed, and trimmed up some others. I got multiple quotes; not only were they the most reasonable priced, he communicated better than others. I just really appreciated a job well done, and in the rain! They started at 8:30 and were gone before noon. Highly Recommend.”

“Jon and his crew came out to our home on time, removed 2 trees in a very professional and safe manner, chipped the brush and clean up the area beautifully. They also trimmed some other trees. All of this was done for a very reasonable cost. Because they are Certified Arborist they were able to offer us professional advice for the care of our other trees on our property. I would strongly recommend them.”

“We highly recommend Alamo City Arbor Care. Jon came out to do an estimate on a job for us that we thought would help our front yard grass situation. He took the time to educate us on our issue and gave us his honest, professional judgement that what we were requesting wouldn't solve our issues at all, which essentially meant that there would be no work to be done by them. We couldn't have been more appreciative of the fact that Jon was looking out for us and instead of just taking our money, took the time to thoughtfully explain his reasons and why what we were requesting to have done wouldn't be the best thing to help our yard. In addition to Jon's honesty, he is very personable and my husband and I just really enjoyed talking with him about our trees. I am looking forward to using Alamo City Arbor Care in the future and couldn't be more impressed with our interaction today.”

“Wind took down a 40ft oak and ripped the trunk out of another tree. These guys showed up within 30 minutes of me calling, gave a respectable quote and had their team on the job lightning fast!! Would recommend!”

“They came out looked at my needs and were very honest and professuonal...i removed 27 trees for two major projects. They were on time ran into an issue with a busted bobcat track and still finished the job as promised what they would do. Wow...no BS..worked hard..no additional money and delivered. I would recommend them for any tree service needs. They will be coming back in the fall to clean some other stuff on my property.”

“Jon and his guys did an amazing job trimming my trees. They are affordable, very knowledgeable, professional and they cleaned the whole yard spotless. Definitely highly recommend them.”

“Once again, Alamo City Arbor Care came to our rescue! We walked outside one morning to find half the crown of one of our trees hanging down. Thankfully, that side was in our yard. The other half was near the street and an electric line. ACAC came out to assess and give an estimate quickly. It was at high risk of falling and causing damage, so ACAC had a team out within a little over an hour to totally remove the tree and the stump. The only reason you know there was a tree in that spot is due to the little but of shavings left where the stump was. It was amazing to watch.”

“Jon and the guys from Alamo City Arbor Care did a fantastic job today. We had two Hackberry’s completely removed, and trimmed up some others. One was dead and the other was splitting. Trees that start to split, can actually split all the way and fall on a roof. They ground the stumps too. I got multiple quotes; not only were they the most reasonable priced, he communicated better than others. I just really appreciated a job well done, and in the rain! They started at 8:30 and were gone before noon. Highly Recommend.”

“Great service! The team promptly came when they said they would. They expertly trimmed three of my trees, cleaning as they went. We will be calling them again when the time comes!”

“Good communication, very professional. I recommend Alamo Arbor care and will use them again for my future needs.”

“This service is so awesome i needed major help dont waste your time reading reviews this service is the only call you need to make because they dont care about the money they really care about people jon an his nice wife are great just give them a call an you will see they really care an they get the job done no matter how small.”

“This was my third time using this company. They always work quickly and efficiently and do great work. Will continue to recommend.”
