Jesus Sandoval started climbing trees around Sacramento in 1990, armed with a lineman’s belt, a Husqvarna 266, and a promise to every customer: leave the yard cleaner than I found it. That one-truck hustle grew—job by job—into the full-service, family-run company you see today. Jesus still leads every safety tailgate, ties the first knot on big removals, and insists that our Clean-Cut Guarantee™ is more than a slogan—it’s how he’s built 35 years of word-of-mouth business.

Meet the Crew

🌲Miguel Sandoval
Operations & Lead Climber Jesus’s eldest—rope-runner since age 14. ISA Tree Worker, Class B CDL, and the calm voice you’ll hear on the radio during crane picks.

🪓Rhonda Sandoval
Office & Scheduling Keeps the calendar tight, and the permits pulled. 24-hr storm hotline queen; she’ll text you the ETA before the first chainsaw starts.

🚀Isaiah “Zay” Sandoval
Bucket-Truck Specialist Masters 65-ft bucket cuts with zero limb strikes. NCCCO Aerial Lift Cert. Favorite tool: silky handsaw for finish cuts.

🌳Tracey “Stump Doctor”

| 🔧 | Andrew Sandoval Co-Founder • Design & Engineering Lead | The “tool geek” behind Dulai Tree Experts. Andrew reverse-engineers everyday arbor gear, then redesigns it for speed and safety— think custom pivot blocks, quick-swap chipper knives, and the skid-steer log grapple that halves our load-out time. A mechanical-engineering grad (CSU Sacramento, ’17), he prototypes in CAD at night and welds in the yard at dawn. If you see a bright-red attachment on one of our machines, odds are Andrew sketched, machined, and tested it himself. His mission: build the equipment that lets our family crew do cleaner work in fewer hours— and raise the safety bar for every tree outfit in Sacramento. |
