Tree Service near Novato

“I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how great this team is. From the very first communication and estimate all the way through completing the job, they consistently deliver top-quality work with professionalism and care.

I’ve been working with them for the past 6 years, and they’ve trimmed our 8 large, tall palm trees multiple times. Every single time, they do a fantastic job—it’s incredibly consistent.

Their pricing is fair, and what really stands out is how thorough they are. They don’t just do the work—they clean everything up afterward, leaving the place looking better than they found it.

It’s rare to find a company this reliable, skilled, and easy to work with. Highly recommended.“

“Hector and his crew are highly trained and well-equipped to do all kinds of tree work. We've used him twice -- including last week. They did a great job on 3 massive trees and went above and beyond to make our yard look great. Hector is super-responsive and is able to schedule work quickly -- at a very reasonable price. Bottom line: Hector and his crew show up on time and get it (all) done!“

“Ricki and Orlando are fantastic. Very easy to communicate with, hard working, and professional.“

“I'm very happy to meet JC Tree Care. I needed the oaks trimmed away from my house. The price felt fair and the work was excellent. I especially liked the way they topped the bay trees to open my view. It now looks like a beautiful, natural, hedge and I feel happy every time I look that way. Also, they cleaned up all the leaves and left my place cleaner than when they arrived. The crew was a delight to have in my space. I'm very happy.“

“Matt Ho at Bartlett cares for the many mature trees on our property with care and sensitivity. He's saved trees from stress, helped trees recover, removed overcrowded trees, directed seasonal pruning and treatments, and most recently partially removed a dying oak, carefully leaving all he could to let nature take over. The crews are friendly, efficient, and extremely skilled and themselves bring a wealth of knowledge to the job.“

“Five star service!! Needed to have a large tree removed from my front yard. Elmer, owner, came out to my house two hours after I called; other companies stated it would be a week to have someone come out for an estimate. Elmer gave me a great quote, excellent price, and they scheduled the service within a few days. His crew was awesome and completed the job in a couple of hours! They left the area so clean prior to leaving. Will definitely use them again! Thank you Elmer and staff!“

“We have been customers of Small World Tree for over twenty years and are constantly impressed with their work and dedication to staying ahead of the challenges facing us in Marin. When we first saw signs of Sudden Oak Death, they were extremely helpful in helping us treat the trees and looking for ways to mitigate any spread. As wildfire became more of a concern, they were on the leading edge of vegetation management. We know they have the expertise to make the best decisions. They also have the best crews. Their team has been working with us for many years and we are delighted to see them. They put safety first and clean up better than they found things.“

“We are the owners and designers of a nearly 4,000 square foot high-end home in Marin County for which we recently completed new construction.  Our plans and completed project included significant landscaping, including the installation and irrigation of more than 60 mature trees of various species, as well as multiple shrubs, flowers and other plants.  We hired a general contractor, landscape contractor and numerous subcontractors.  We also had to navigate situations in which we needed to ensure construction would not disrupt the health of existing trees around the property.

Prior to discovering Ben Anderson, we had engaged two other ISA Board Certified arborists who are well-regarded and expert consultants in the wider Bay Area.  We brought Ben in for an additional perspective and immediately were impressed by his breadth and depth of knowledge and experience, and attention to detail.  Ben clearly stood out from other arborists and immediately became our preferred arborist for multiple engagements throughout our project.  We still engage him today and annually for ongoing assessments and recommendations to ensure our landscape investments continue to thrive.

As example projects Ben has handled for us, we hired him to (a) assess existing tree health and recommend a course of action for navigating planned construction to preserve those existing trees; (b) diagnose a section of trees that were showing signs of illness and poor health, and recommend a plan for recovery; (c) supervise planting by landscape contractors and nurseries, including steps to optimize likelihood of proper soil conditions and irrigation; and (d) conduct detailed soil assessments at multiple planting locations.

Most notably, Ben is reliable, thoughtful, efficient, honest and always professional.  He consistently exhibits a sincere care for the environment and is mindful of cost when devising practical solutions.  He is highly educated and conversant across tree and plant species; insects, diseases and other factors that can impact tree health; and climate zones and care regimens.  We cannot speak highly enough about him and his commitment to his work.“

“I’ve known Steve for more years than I care to mention. I was superintendent at a local tree service and worked with Steve for about 10 years. He was always conscientious and would go out of his way to help customers and fellow employees. Now that I no longer do tree work I have had Steve do some work for me, always to my satisfaction and enjoyment.I find Mr. Fitzgerald’s post curious. “How this guy is in business... no idea.” Perhaps he has been in business for over 40 years because he is a qualified arborist and sensed that this meeting wasn’t going to work out to anyones benefit. That sense comes from experience.Service: Tree trimming & pruning“

“I Highly recommend Valley Tree Service. Exceptional care, Every time. Very considerate and respectful to my questions, and to the existing landscape to make my yard look splendid! THANK YOU Jeff!Services: Tree stump grinding“
