"Kevin arrived promptly and performed the services we agreed on to my satisfaction. He's friendly, easy to talk to, and knows how to deal with trees since he's a licensed arborist. There was no indiscriminate or unnecessary cutting. I'd use Johnson's Tree Care again and have already recommended him to my neighbors."

"If you’re searching for a reliable tree service to trim your redwood trees beautifully, I wholeheartedly recommend ExTREEme Tree Experts! Their five-star quality and commitment to excellence truly stands out. I consider myself fortunate to have found Danny and his dedicated crew. Just a week before, another tree service I had contracted with suddenly backed out in favor of a larger project, basically putting me on the back burner for another two weeks. I discovered ExTREEme Tree Experts through Angie’s List, and Danny quickly visited my home to offer a quote that was even more affordable than the initial company I had engaged. My redwood trees now look healthier and more vibrant, adding beauty to my yard. Additionally, he trimmed a leaning crêpe myrtle that was encroaching on my backyard fence, restoring its upright stance. Thank you, Danny for the excellent work. I will continue to use your services to ensure my trees remain stunning and healthy for many years to come."

"P&J does fantastic work. I am more than pleased. Joe is an arborist and has keen knowledge of trees, when and how they should be pruned and groomed or even removed. P&J removed three trees and many shrubs, pruning and shaping many other trees. Stump grinding was done to the removed trees. His crew of seven and himself showed up on time at 8am and they were done at 1130am. Amazing! They are licensed, bonded and insured."

"This is the reason why I needed my trees trimmed. I have a fifty year old Ash tree. It was an unusual tree since it grew in a V-shaped manner. It was sixty feet tall and getting taller by the year. The older it got, the taller it grew and I was afraid that one day the two main branches will be so heavy that it will split itself in two and fall on my neighbor’s house hurting people inside. . I called Urban Tree Care and I was greeted by Lizet. She was friendly over the phone. I told her my situation and she said she will gladly have someone come to my house that weekend to inspect my tree. True to her word, that weekend a man named Heriberto came to my house. He looked at my tree and said nothing’s wrong with it. It’s perfectly healthy and it didn’t need any of his help. I told him about my concerns about my tree falling down so he suggested trimming the tree to lighten it up. I agreed. He also looked at my Walnut tree next to the Ash tree and suggested trimming that as well. He quoted me a price of $1,500.00 and I agreed. Later that day, Lizet called and scheduled an appointment for the team to do their work. . The team arrived on time. They came in a large dump truck with a woodchipper attached and a pickup truck. Heriberto was the team leader. He was the one who climbed the tree making the cuts as his four assistants were there gathering the branches and logs making it safe for him to do his job. They were a very efficient and professional team. They wore uniforms and hardhats. Heriberto used mountaineering gear to climb up the trees and with his chainsaw and ropes he made professional cuts. He used ropes to make sure the branches and logs come down on my property and not on my neighbor’s property. . Once they finished, both my Ash tree and Walnut tree looked great. By trimming the trees it allowed more light on my property and it really made me feel good. Urban Tree Care is a professional company and it was worth paying them the money. I will do business with them again."

"Mr. Alfaro has done yard work for me in the past, most recently a few days ago.  He is an excellent gardener who always shows up on time, does a great job and  thoroughly  cleans up all the debris  before he leaves.  I have lived in my house for many years and have never had a better gardener."

"First of all let me start saying that Mila and Crew are awesome people you can trust/rely on. We had an existing rotten staircase with so many cracks . They removed and replaced with red wood materials . They asked for the requirements and were very good and fast in understanding what we wanted. Their work was perfect. They not only completed it in the scheduled time but also did a great clean up after the job. I asked them to seal the railing and they did together with the sanding including which was not in the initial scoop of work. Overall Mila and her crew did fantastic work and communication with in project was very clear. We highly recommend. They are very clear, patient, hardworking, friendly and accommodating. What else anyone would need? Thanks so much Mila and Geico Builders. I have already started letting everyone know about your work in my neighborhood."

FAQs for arboricultural service projects in Fairfax, CA

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers. 

When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.

Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:

  • Location

  • Yard size

  • Project size

  • Materials

  • Land preparation

  • Type of landscaping

Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
