Tree Trimming in San Francisco

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Had my very overgrown loquat tree in my backyard trimmed by Jeremiah and Martin. They heard my asks for a trim but to keep the tree healthy for good fruit production. They did a beautiful job and they left my yard sooooo clean (I had piles of leaves everywhere that I did not expect them to clean out... more

5 Stars! The crew was fast, efficient and neat. Though it was big tree that spread over 1/2 the street and spanned across both my neighbors, they cut by handsaws and trimmers, avoiding the noise of a chainsaw. They were done in less than 2 hours, swept up completely and had a great attitude. I've a... more

Above and beyond my expectations! They trimmed the huge Eucalyptus tree in our backyard,as well as 6 tall poplars. Very efficient,courteous, and professional. Would definitely call again.

They did a great job pulling weeds and cleaning my backyard. They responded promptly on Yelp and were easy to work with. Here is before and after photo which they did in under an hour. Would recommend and use them again!

So refreshing.  I am in business development myself and we say "how a relationship begins is how it ends".  After speaking with Zack who answered my call I am sold. He is a clear communicator who took the time to explain next steps, great energy, and is "on it"!  The worst is calling a company and g... more

Initially, Arborist Now planted a tree in our front yard near Ocean Beach. Unfortunately, it didn't respond well to the salt air and wind. When I contacted Jean, the owner, he came out to take a look and replaced the tree, free of charge, with a new myrtle, which is doing very well.  The fact that J... more

We've used Urban Arborist twice and both times they gave us a reasonable rate (in the low to middle range of other quotes we were given), were always on time, left our yard and house clean, and were careful and did the job exactly as specified. Thank you! A couple years ago we worked with Stuart, re... more

These folks are based out of San Francisco and I am in Pleasanton.  I want to be upfront and say I did not hire them, mostly due to the logistics of our geographical situation.  That said... Rarely have I received such stellar service.  Their communication was top notch.  Through Yelp I had various... more

Hey,  I am a happy customer.  I worked with George.  He is so knowledgable that he could explain to me what was going on with my tree.  And even gave me some tips about tree caring without even knowing whether I would go with them or not.  But at the end,  he was so convincing and he proposal was so... more
