"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."

"The owners, Ken and Emily, responded immediately to my request for a meeting, walkthrough, and estimate - in fact I think they showed up the day I called or the next day when they were in the area. They were friendly and listened to my needs. They made some good recommendations for moving some plants around, watering, fertilizing, etc. Within a week we agreed on a reasonable price for services and shortly thereafter they snapped our plants and lawn into initial tip-top shape and planted a new vegetable and herb garden. They will tend to all of our landscaping needs on a bi-weekly basis going forward. I like that the owners of the company are the ones taking care of our yard - it adds a great level of personalization and consistency to their services. To date they are doing excellent work and are very knowledgeable about taking care of all things green."

"I just finished our kitchen renovation with Geico Builders and I am so happy with the results. From the initial interviews through the final touch ups, I was consistently impressed with our project manager, Mila. One spends a lot of time with the project manager going from interviews to execution, and Mila was responsive, easy to communicate with and seemed genuinely friendly. She was also honest with her feedback on ideas and options. It was quite refreshing to work with Mila and their crew, as well as project coordinator Kai, foreman Tim, and the rest of the Geico team. If you're looking for a well-run, professional team to work with, we highly recommend this one."

FAQs for arboricultural service projects in Oakland, 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.
