I had a very satisfying experience with their service. They gave me a reasonable estimate and made me aware of a permit requirement (my option, my risk) to remove a Hollywood juniper tree next to my house. Another company did not mention the city permit requirement. Christie and Manny were very understanding and patient while I waited for the permit. They returned my inquiries and text messages quickly. Their crew did a great and thorough job removing the tree and a large bush, trimming my street tree, and reducing a very large hedge. A stump grind was on the order, but we cancelled that and they adjusted the invoice accordingly. They were very accommodating and respectful in satisfying me when I got finicky. They cleaned up all branches and trimmings well. I can highly recommend their services and would use them again!

They successfully removed both dwarf trees in the backyard. They were not able to use the grinding machine since my backyard was accessible only through the living room. Otherwise, they did an exceptional job.

Gave me fair price for tree work. Came on time to the time we agreed upon. They removed all branches & allowed for me to have them remove a few branches in the front that were still hanging too low. Very professional & I will use them again when I need more tree work.

I would never use them again or recommend to anyone else. I have to hire another contractor to complete the job.

Be sure to be home. Be wary of damage to outdoor plants. Move what can be moved. They were super nice but accidentally broke a pot and some plants.

I hired Bay Area Tree Specialists to assess the health of one of my Japanese maples. Larry completed his assessment in about 5 minutes. The entire visit lasted from 10-15 minutes. Given the time spent, I think the $325 fee was excessive.

The crew did an awesome job trimming and thinning the tree. There were several major dead branches that I thought would leave gaping holes once they were removed, but the guys did a excellent job of pruning and thinning that the end result was very pleasing. They also did a great job cleaning up all debris. It was obvious that they were very focused and determined to do the best job possible. Finally, they were friendly and pleased to engage us in conversation from the time they arrived until they left, but always aware of completing the job professionally and within a reasonable amount of time (start to finish took a little over 2 hours).
