Who We Are
Serving Morgan Hill's Growing Community With Consistent, Expert Care

Each one has different needs, and each one deserves the same standard of professional care.
We are a team of tree and landscape professionals serving communities throughout south Santa Clara County, with our base of operations just up the road in San Martin. We've worked on Morgan Hill properties of all sizes and conditions, and we bring certified arborist oversight to every project — from a single tree assessment to a full landscape renovation.

Understanding Morgan Hill's Landscape
A Community Built on Valley Floor and Foothill — Each With Its Own Demands
Morgan Hill occupies a stretch of valley that transitions quickly from flat residential development to foothill terrain on both sides. That geography creates a range of landscape conditions — valley floor properties with deep soils and warm summer heat, hillside parcels with shallower root zones and steeper drainage, and everything in between.
The community has seen significant residential growth, and many newer properties are working to establish landscapes from scratch — selecting the right trees, setting up irrigation correctly, and building a foundation that will hold up over decades. Getting those foundational decisions right matters enormously. A tree planted in the wrong location or an irrigation system sized incorrectly creates problems that compound over time.
At the same time, Morgan Hill's longer-established properties often have mature oaks, sycamores, and ornamental trees that need thoughtful ongoing care. These trees have real value — both to the property and to the broader neighborhood canopy — and they deserve arborist-led attention, not reactive trimming whenever something looks overgrown.
We're well-positioned to serve both ends of that spectrum, and everything in between, operating just minutes away in San Martin.

More Than a Contractor
A Long-Term Partner for Your Morgan Hill Property
This is about more than your landscape. It's about community, trust, and an ongoing relationship that helps you make the right decisions about your trees and outdoor spaces — year after year.
Morgan Hill is a community of homeowners who take pride in their properties. Whether you've been here for years or are just getting established, you want a team you can call when something comes up, a team that already knows your property, and a team that gives you straight answers without pushing unnecessary work.
That's the relationship we build with every client. With arborist consultations and preservation reports, landscape design and installation, plant healthcare, irrigation systems built for south valley conditions, and comprehensive seasonal maintenance, San Jose Tree Service & Landscaping is the one team Morgan Hill homeowners can count on from the first call through every season that follows.
Work With UsBased in San Martin, we're close enough to Morgan Hill to respond quickly to emergencies and maintain a consistent presence for properties on ongoing programs.
For newer properties still building out their landscape, we guide species selection and placement decisions that will serve your property well for decades — not just look good at installation.
We assess what's there, explain what we find, and recommend only what's genuinely needed. You'll never feel sold to — only informed.
From summer drought monitoring to winter storm response, we build maintenance programs that keep your property healthy and safe across every season of the south valley year.
Common Questions
What Morgan Hill Homeowners Ask Us
New construction landscapes often come with builder-grade plantings that weren't selected or installed with long-term performance in mind. A good starting point is a walkthrough assessment — we evaluate what you have, identify any immediate concerns (poor irrigation coverage, plants in the wrong location, compacted soil from construction), and help you prioritize. From there, we can develop a phased plan that gets your landscape on the right trajectory without requiring everything to happen at once. Getting the foundational decisions right early saves significant time and cost down the road.
Some warning signs are visible from the ground — large dead branches, cracks or splits in the main trunk, significant lean that wasn't there before, mushroom growth at the base, or bark that's peeling away in unusual patterns. Others require a trained eye to identify, particularly internal decay that doesn't show on the surface. If you've noticed any of the visible signs, or if a tree is near your home, a frequently used area, or a neighbor's property, a professional assessment is worth scheduling. We'd rather tell you a tree is fine than have you find out otherwise after a wind event.
Uneven irrigation coverage is one of the most common — and most quietly damaging — issues on residential properties. Plants and trees in low-coverage zones develop drought stress that accumulates over time, making them more vulnerable to disease and pest pressure even when the symptoms aren't obvious yet. We evaluate irrigation systems for coverage gaps, head spacing, pressure problems, and controller programming, and we can repair or redesign systems that aren't performing well. For south Santa Clara County properties, irrigation efficiency is also increasingly important under current Valley Water restrictions.
Yes — that's exactly what sets us apart from most companies in this area. We hold CSLB licenses in both Tree Service (C-61/D-49) and Landscaping (C-27), and our team includes certified arborists, landscape designers, irrigation specialists, and maintenance crews. For Morgan Hill homeowners who want one reliable company managing every aspect of their outdoor property, we're built for that role. It simplifies your life and means every decision on your property is made with the full picture in mind.
Pruning timing depends on the species. For most deciduous trees, late winter through early spring — just before or during the early stages of new growth — is generally the optimal window for structural pruning. Oaks are best pruned during the dormant season to minimize disease exposure, particularly the risk of Sudden Oak Death pathogen entry through fresh wounds. Fruit trees have their own timing based on variety and whether you're pruning for structure or yield. Our arborists assess each tree individually and schedule work within the appropriate seasonal window — not just whenever there's a crew available.
