Burke and his team were fantastic. We had an emergency tree fall situation, and he responded late at night, showed up promptly the next morning, and had everything cleaned up within two days. He really went above and beyond in two ways: 1) he squeezed all this in while doing two other large jobs that were ongoing 2) he spent a lot of time calming and reassuring our neighbors I really recommend these guys! read more

Conscious Clearing - a man standing in front of a house - Tree Services Near Me

Burke was a pleasure to work with. He sent his guys early in the morning, trimmed all the trees in the front of the property and cleared all the debris. He was very courteous and friendly, especially with the tenants and made everyone feel heard. The place looks ! I would recommend him. (He will haul the debris away later today. I'll let you know how that goes) read more

Our agreement was $125 for a cord of 16" aged oak and madrone delivered to our home in Santa Cruz. Burke said it would be delivered the next week. A week later I called. He said it would be delivered the following week. They dumped the wood (not aged) in the driveway on a drizzly day even though the eve of the roof is large and had plenty of space for the wood but instead left us with a torn up tarp that was ineffective in keeping the wood dry. The pieces were also much larger than 16". I've had to split the wood to get it to fit our fireplace and for it to burn as it is not aged. The worst part was when I got the bill after giving Burke my credit card number. He charged $400! I left a message asking for an explanation and didn't get a call back. The issue is in dispute with my credit card company. read more

Burke and his guys always do great work. I use them for tree trimming, tree removal, firewood delivery, and more. They always do quality work, spend time on the details, and go above and beyond. All that and great prices is hard to beat. I highly recommend this great valley business. read more

Burke takes pride in his work and it shows. We have him and his team service the grounds and trees around our Ben Lomond cabin because it gets a lot of debris from the foliage and trees. Burke always keeps the cabin's grounds well maintained and looking great. He goes out of his way to make sure the property is always in good shape. We live out of the area and need someone who we can trust to do quality work regularly and without supervison.....and Burke is our MAN! We highly recommend Burke/Conscious Clearing. read more

I had a hard time communicating with them. They cut down a part of a large heritage oak tree that was my kids' favorite. Won't let them near our property again. read more

I was so fortunate to talk to Burke:) My main concern was the fires in N. Ca. and how my property could be bad for not only my own, but others as well. After Burke looked at it he said I was right to call him. It not only would destroy my home, but cause possible loss of life and more if not taken care of! He brought a crew in and finished a half acre in 6 hours! By Chance, a flower was left after the brush removal. I intend to water it and see what happens! read more

Burke has been delivering high quality firewood to me for a reasonable price for the past several years. Recently, I decided to finally clear the brush and poison oak from my property in Boulder Creek, approximately 1.8 acres. Burke and his crew did a fabulous job, bagged and removed all the poison oak. The trees were trimmed, Scotch broom and other brush cleared, and the place now looks like a park. He even hauled off some old fir trees to donate to a needy family. He is insured and has several certificates for managing fire burden. I highly recommend contacting him if you need firewood (order in advance of the fire season) or have a similar need for clearing. read more

Conscious Clearing - Looking down my driveway. - Tree Services Near Me

Burk and his crew are conscientious and thorough. We have used him for firewood (great) and for clearing downed trees. They will also take down dead trees (unless there's an electrical or other hazard) as part of their service. He goes out of his way to notice and point out trees that pose a danger to structures, and works with you regarding what to take out. Very satisfied. read more

Great firewood! Always a pleasure doing business :) There are a few guys working there and so I always talk to someone different, but they seem to be on the same page, or looking at the same notes :-) they are kind and have great customer service! read more

Burke and Conscious Clearing are great. He has provided great firewood of dry oak and madrone twice now. He's responsive, caring, and stands behind his product. We plan to engage his services to clear out our hill of trees. read more

This is a very reputable and trustworthy company. They delivered a beautiful cord of wood. All dry oak and madrone delivered right on time. Will use them again in a heartbeat. Price is great! Nice to know there are great local companies that I can support and that support our community. read more

The firewood he sold me this year was infested with termites and smelled like poop. It was obviously from a tan oak that died from sudden oak death. Wood also does not burn well or very hot even though it is dry. Never again, watch out! read more

Well, when it comes to paying attention to wild life and not weed wacking down a wild turkey nest Burk was great. When it came cutting down some trees for free firewood they created a bigger fire hazard then the one they said they could help prevent. HUGE piles of debris were left on the side all along the fire road. If there is a fire up here that road will be impassible. Worse Burk was rude and completely belligerent about the mess they were leaving. They may call that conscious clearing. I call it irresponsible. read more

These folks need to clear their conscious. What a rip off. Arrived three days late, no phone call made us wait. Then failed to deliver kindling as promised. I can live with the delivery and kindling issues but they delivered wet green wood completely unable to start. I am a disabled senior citizen who just hand double hand surgery, this is an unbearable situation I neither have the money to order more wood from another company, nor can I get a fire started with this crap wood and it is my only source of heat. Called the company to complain and lets say they were as professional in their response as their performance to date reflects. Do Not Waste your money!! read more

Conscious Clearing delivered firewood for us last year (and stacked it too, for a nice price), so we called them when an oak tree fell across our driveway. Burke and his crew came out promptly and bucked, split, and stacked the wood for us. Over the next few weeks, they did a variety of other work on the property, ranging from the easy (clearing brush) to the hard (digging out oleanders) to the technically difficult (topping an oak tree that was leaning too close to the house). As a tree lover, I particularly like that Burke is an arborist. Rather than suggesting we just cut down the oak tree near the house, Burke suggested topping it in specific places so that it could continue to grow, but in the other direction. In general, Burke and his crew were friendly, hard-working, efficient, and skilled - all for a reasonable price. Thanks, Conscious Clearing! read more

Burk and his crew are fantastic. We had about 4 thousand sqft of poison oak and blackberriy brambles growing on our property and they completely eradicated it by hand in less than 3 days. His prices are very fair and he really knows his stuff. My only complaint is that they're a little hard to reach on the phone so sometimes even though communication is thorough, it's slow. A minor inconvenience for such a great team to work with, imho. read more

I bought a cord of wood from CC last summer. Good wood, good price, and they delivered a full cord. I ought to have gone with them this year, but I committed myself to another supplier, which was a mistake! read more

Conscious Clearing did a fantastic job taking down several redwoods that were dangerously close to our new home. We were new to this process, so Burke walked us through everything, explaining each step and clearly providing cost and schedules from the very beginning. He helped us navigate the big decision of what to do with the wood once the trees were down (there is a LOT of lumber!) We now have a safe, insurable house and plan to build a beautiful deck from the trees that once stood around our home. I highly recommend and will definitely be using Conscious Clearing in the future! read more

I liked Burke and his crew. We had them recently do some tree work and clearing at our new home. They were thoughtful, checked for nests, helped us figure out which trees to remove and which to keep. My only issue was that a few pieces of wood were left behind that were supposed to be removed, and we were not paid for some firewood that he said he would pay us for. It was a small amount of money, and not enough to make us leave a bad recommendation. I'd hire them again definitely. read more

We've used Burke Bley and his crew twice now. And I am definitely going to use him again in the future. They are fast, thorough, and do a great job cleaning up. Burke is easy to reach, he responds in a timely manner. He is personable and listens carefully and makes recommendations not only help keep costs down, but also to make you more pleased with the result. I was a little frustrated this time with that the job got extended over three days and rescheduled a couple of times, but that was due to a fire in our local area that he and his crew were called away to tend. He is fair, trustworthy, personable, and his team is a delight to work with and very hard working. I would highly recommend Burke and Conscious Clearing to you. Over the years we've used other such services, none compares to the quality and pricing. read more

Last summer we had a project involving an outdoor dining area on our brick terrace. We had sturdy beams at each corner but were having difficulty finding the material for the roof of the arbor. I contacted Burke to see if it were possible to get 12 ft. reasonably straight limbs. Not only did was he willing to help with such a small endeavor, but he had his crew cut and limb the length we needed, stacked them neatly, and gave us the location of the site for pick up. This is truly a business with a heart for the locals!! read more

These guys were very responsive to our needs. For many years now, the main source of heat for our house has been wood They got us nice dry oak to heat our home and they got it here fast. Thanks Conscious Clearing! KW read more
