There’s no single reason people call — if you’ve got trees, sooner or later something needs cutting, clearing, or coming down safely, and that’s what we’re here for. We’ve worked on just about everything the Bay grows: fruit trees, coast live oaks, eucalyptus, palms, and the tall conifers tucked in behind Marin homes.

We are licensed and insured, and we are happy to show it. Our license is CSLB #1097005, classification D-49, and you can look it up on the CSLB website before you let anyone near your trees.

We also have ISA Certified Arborist on the team, certification #WE-312181A. That is the credential the arboriculture industry sets for itself, and it is not a formality: it takes years of documented tree work before you can even sit the exam, the exam covers tree biology, diagnosis, soil, pruning standards, cabling and rigging safety, and it has to be kept current with continuing education or it lapses.

It matters more here than most places. A contractor’s license says we are allowed to do the work and that you are covered if something goes wrong. The certification is about the tree itself — reading whether an oak is actually failing or just stressed, knowing which cuts a redwood will recover from and which ones start the decay, pruning to a standard instead of to whatever looks tidy, and knowing when the honest answer is that your tree does not need to come down at all. In a county where half the removals are about fire risk and the other half are about a tree over somebody’s roof, that judgment is most of the job.

Marin is home. Most weeks we are somewhere between San Rafael, Mill Valley, Tiburon and Novato, and just as often in Fairfax, San Anselmo, Sausalito, Corte Madera, Larkspur, Terra Linda, Greenbrae, Kentfield, Ross, Belvedere, Marinwood, Lucas Valley, Strawberry or West Marin near Point Reyes. We also take work in San Francisco, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Richmond, Sonoma and Petaluma.

The crew works in English and Spanish, so ask for whichever is easier for you. We show up when we say we will, do the job right, and leave your yard cleaner than we found it.
