In an industry where anyone with a chainsaw can call themselves a “tree guy,” we’ve gone the extra mile to prove our expertise.
Our team is led by ISA-certified arborists, Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) professionals, and specialists in Plant Healthcare. These aren’t just titles but the mark of rigorous training, proven skill, and an ongoing commitment to excellence.
We hold a California Contractor’s License (#953007), carry full insurance, and maintain workers’ compensation coverage for every crew member. This means your property, trees, and everyone working on them are protected from start to finish.
Tree care is physical work, but it’s also deeply personal. Our crew members are more than skilled climbers and equipment operators. They are craftsmen, problem-solvers, and stewards of the environment. From your very first call to our office, you’ll experience the difference. Our team strives to understand your needs, address your concerns, and thoughtfully guide you through your options. Out in the field, our arborists and crew approach each project with precision, whether assessing the health of a heritage oak or ensuring your property is spotless before they leave.
While we offer many services, we offer unique services by certified arborists, who have trained to expertly assess and care for trees.
