"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."

Customers say: True professional

"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."

"I recently hired GP Tree Services to remove a large tree from the front of my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, their team was outstanding every step of the way. They arrived on time, assessed the job thoroughly, and explained the process clearly. The crew worked quickly and safely, ensuring that surrounding structures and landscaping were protected throughout the removal. Their equipment was top-notch, and their expertise was evident in how seamlessly they handled the job. What stood out the most was their commitment to leaving my property spotless. After the tree was removed, they cleaned up every bit of debris, making it look as if the tree had never been there! If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled tree service company, I highly recommend them. They exceeded my expectations in every way, and I will definitely call them again for any future tre"

"The site assessment and quote were extremely easy and transparent due to a slick app that itemizes the tree removal by type of tree/trunk diameter, with photos, then automatically generates a quote. The crew showed up right on time and were done on schedule. Super happy with the work and would recommend to anybody looking for tree removal services in the East Bay!"

"Juan and his crew were fantastic from start to finish! Very professional and took the job very seriously. They responded quickly and addressed all of my concerns before beginning the job. They were so good, in fact, that two of my neighbors also hired the team to do tree work that same day. By the time it was over, they had removed 3 very big trees and two smaller trees, trimmed three tall trees, and removed no less than 10 stumps. I am a very happy customer."

"Love the design and work that went into determining what plants would go where, and my goals for my yard. I appreciate how Amelia looked at the sunlight, shade, and tested the soil. Since we have been finishing up the renovations, I haven’t hired her for installation yet, but I will soon!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

In Oakland, homeowners often prune trees at the wrong time, increasing disease vulnerability, or choose species that struggle in the local climate. Over-mulching can suffocate roots, while neglecting to check for required permits before tree removal can lead to compliance issues. Improper pruning methods, like topping, and failing to maintain adequate clearance for fire safety are also frequent errors that can compromise tree health.

Helpful?

In Oakland, signs that tree service may need to be redone include excessive sprouting from improper cuts, visible decay or fungal growth at pruning sites, and branches breaking easily during wind events. If you notice increased pest activity, poor canopy structure, or stumps left unaddressed, these are indicators of incomplete or inadequate tree care. Non-compliance with local fire safety standards is another red flag.

Helpful?

After tree service in Oakland, monitor trees weekly for early signs of stress, such as leaf discoloration or dieback. Adjust irrigation to reflect seasonal rainfall and avoid overwatering. Inspect for pest activity and fungal issues, especially after heavy rains. Maintain mulch around the base to support moisture retention and root health, and schedule periodic assessments to ensure ongoing compliance with fire safety requirements.

Helpful?

In Oakland, tree service projects require strategic seasonal pruning—preferably during late winter to minimize disease risk and encourage healthy growth. Deep watering should be adjusted for local drought patterns, and organic mulch should be refreshed annually to support soil health. Regularly check for signs of root stress, fungal infections, and pest infestations, and maintain defensible space to enhance both tree health and fire safety.

Helpful?

Completing tree service in Oakland offers immediate benefits like enhanced tree health, improved storm resilience, and increased property appeal. Over time, well-maintained trees can boost property value, reduce energy use by providing shade, and support local biodiversity. Proper tree care also helps manage stormwater runoff, improves air quality, and contributes to a safer, more resilient landscape for your home and neighborhood.
