They've been around for 50 years. They are fantastic, very good. It took three days, they were great. They were absolutely fantastic. The cost was high, but I needed to have it done. I hadn't done it for 10 years. They did everything and the guys were great. They were respectful, they were punctual. It was A, A, A, all the way around. I love them. I will use them again, I use them every year, they're very very good.
Description of Work
They trimmed all my trees, took out dead trees, put mulch up for me so I could spread it out on my yard.

They are arborists, they give me advice on what I should do with my trees and trim the trees. If I want it hauled away, they will haul it away. Everything was cleaned up after, you would have never known they were there. They're very very good, very professional and very responsive.

I loved this company. We needed to get work done on the property in Los Altos Hills that was owned by my mother who passed away. They were incredibly thorough, checking in with me and even viewing the trees from neighboring property to make sure they knew which trees to work on and how much to trim. I was not there the day the work was done, but a friend was there and reproted to me that they were neat. professional and timely. They removed three tall redwoods and reduced the height in five other tall redwoods. They had to do a stump grinding of the largest tree and cleaned up everything when they were done. I spoke with Juan a number of times before the job and he was wonderful to work with an very knowledgable. the office staff was helpful as well. I am very pleased and was pleasanlty surprised at how reasonable their prices were.

Everything went well. Their crews were courteous, professional and qualified. One couldn't ask for more. To give an example of their professionalism, they put drip pans under their trucks so as not to drip oil on our driveway, and they chocked and turned their wheels properly (we are on a slope). When they were done (in about 3 days) they swept everything up and left the property cleaner than it was before. They are not cheap, but they do the best work and are worth the extra cost. We highly recommend them, especially for large jobs and jobs involving heritage trees. And you don't have to watch them all the time - they can be trusted to do the work properly.
Description of Work
We have 27 native oaks, plus bays, toyons and other trees on our property. One of these trees - which we call the "mother oak" - is a huge tree that grows up through our bedroom deck. Most of these trees have been on our property for 50 years or more and are getting old. McLenahan has been taking care of our trees since the 1980s; they have always done excellent work and so we used them again this time. McClenahan's crew removed dead wood and thinned out all of our trees in compliance with fire regulations. A number of limbs were too close to the roof or chimneys and so required pruning. Several bay trees had to be removed as they were the kind that carries sudden oak death. They also worked on a couple of may ten trees. McLenahan has trained arborists so they can deal with other problems besides pruning. They also have very specialized equipment so they can get to any tree no matter where it is.

We had a very tall Monterey pine tucked in the far back corner of our yard. They estimated two and one half days. It was about 30 inches in diameter at the base and maybe 100 ft. tall. With a crew of two they they assembled their necessary rope hoists, and cut off branches 10 ft at a time, carefully lowering the pieces to the ground where the other second guy sawed and piled them. At the end of the job, they used a bob-cat to remove the large logs to their truck. The less longer branches were dragged out and chipped. Afterwards they cleaned up all the chipped and smothed the surfaces when they left. Good as new except for the stump which they left (we decided it was not worth the effort and cost to try to get a stump chipper back to that location. This pine would have wrecked our house if it toppled in a strom (which pine tree often do), Cost was 2 - 3 thousand dollars. Other times they have done just a quick cleaning of dead oak branches high in the trees. 10 - 15 trees, half day, $350.
Description of Work
McClenehan is the most professional service around. They are large, efficient, helpful and friendly. The Los Altos Hills fire deparment has hired them for several years to do work in LAH. They will will chip almost any wood piled on or near your property. In past two years they have removed all dead dying trees for nothing. This year the same for eucalyptus. They have schooled arborists who will come evaluate trees and situations. They know the habits of trees, they know disease, they areThey are genuine trained experts. They adhere to schedules. They will honestly tell you a tree does not need to be cut down or suggest cheaper or better was to do things. Their crew will do amazingly high difficult jobs. If necessary they will bring in a bob-cat to carry out big logs. For the jobs for which we have paid (topping our oaks) the work was efficient and excellent. The prices will be fair but not barains.

This is the only company I trusted with a heritage ash tree at my old house. Their prices were high, but they were able to keep my tree alive and healthy despite several major problems that had developed with cracks in the trunk and limbs that were too heavy.

They were here the last week to discuss about the work that needs be done. We have been using their services for many years. Over the years my husband has developed a relationship with one of their representative. SO far my husband is satisfied with their quality of work. They will be coming out to do the work in January 2010.

They did a very clean, professional job. They are quite expensive, so I used cheaper tree services to trim other trees around my lot, but I never let anyone but McClenahan touch the Ash tree.
Description of Work
I had a California Ash tree that had started to split. It was the focal point of my yard and a key source of shade for my house, so I didn't want to lose it. McClenahan bolted and wired the tree stabilizing it and preventing further damage. They also trimmed the tree, reducing the weight on the damaged limbs. After their initial work I had them come back yearly to do this. Now 10+ years later, the tree is still thriving.

This required 4 neighbors to agree on a price and vendor. McClenahan was the preferred vendor by all of us (we shared the cost). The job was done exactly as promised. It took about one day and all was cleaned up after. Some of the neighbors had additional work done at the same time and seemed satisfied.
Description of Work
Trimming a very large redwood tree at the rear corner of a lot so that the 4 neighbors would have more light.

When they came to our house they thinned our trees, removed some of our trees that we no longer wanted, and also sprayed. They have sprayed all the trees. And they maintain a healthy and good appearing yard with our trees and shrubs that are disease free.

This company was very bad. They ruined my trees and the employees were not very skilled at what they were doing. They did a very lousy job. They cut the tops off of the trees and they were only suppose to trim the trees. I would not recommend this company to anyone, and will not use them again.
Description of Work
Pruned trees.

This company did a very adequate job when they sprayed our hedges. When they were finished the hedges looked fine. The finished product was acceptable. They sprayed the hedges for bugs to make sure further infestation didn't occur and stopped the current infestation.
