Although I did not hire his team to remove my tree, my interactions with him were very positive. He was very polite, accommodating and responsive. The reason was because I needed the tree removed right away as the recent storm pushed the tree to almost a 45 degree angle and I was afraid it would hit my neighbors house. He was 2 hours out and someone else was able to come out within the hour. Overall, I would still recommend. read more

I've hired Doug's crew to come out multiple times (6 days total). I own a large property with many special trees. His crew is able to remove trees, trim / prune, and take care of everything. Doug is reliable, professional, safety focused, and his team takes precaution when working around my home. I am extremely happy with their services. I've referred Doug to neighbors and friends. I plan to continue to use Doug Petersen Tree Service for many years to come, please don't retire Doug! read more

Totally excellent removal! Our aged walnut tree lost a limb on Wednesday night, Doug came out to take a look Thursday, and brought his team to remove the tree entirely on Friday. Super fast, super friendly, and also super conscientious - his crew cleaned up everything so well you wouldn't have even known there was a tree there. read more

According to the website CSLB his contractors license expired on 3-14-2020. https://www.cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices/checklicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=685235 For this reason, I was unable to have this person do tree work. If this information was in error, he needs to contact the state license board. read more

Great work, prompt, fair price. Have used him for 15+ years for various projects: tree trimming, tree removal, vegetation clearing, and root/stump grinding. read more

We had a walnut tree on its way out that needed to be removed. Contacted a few tree removal services and a few were able to give us estimates within a few days. Doug was friendly and flexible. He gave me a very reasonable estimate and added in like 8-9 stumps that needed to be removed for a fair price. The price was great but the service was even better. Doug is an honest guy, committed to serving the community. He answered all the questions I had about the removal and some more specific questions about trees and telephone wires. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and flexible. I called him the night he gave an estimate and said he could remove it 3 days later. The team showed up and I've rarely seen such efficiency in a project as sorts. There were 5 of them in sync. They were safe, careful, hardworking, and friendly. I chatted with a few of them and they all answered questions I had. Not to mention they worked in the smoke and heat. It was very impressive. I had a good vibe from the start and each step along the way offered me solace in choosing them for our removal. I will definitely be recommending them and using them again in the future. I got a genuine commitment, interest, and caring feel from start to finish. I highly recommend using Doug's company. read more

Doug came out immediately and gave us the most reasonable quote out of the 5 companies we had quote us. He was quite literally came out within two days with a whole crew and knocked out an extremely difficult project near our under-construction pool. They were extremely careful containing all the debris caused by the stump and root destruction. I highly recommend Doug and his crew! Top notch read more

Was able to be contacted through text, came out the next day, had great prices and finished by dusk! Perfect service and great communication. read more

Great guy, referred me to his subcontractor, who I hired.

Doug arrived with crew one cutting the back one in the front. Shortly after Doug announced he was leaving and Matt was in charge, the one in the back. He did NOT ask to leave. He had come on a prior date to give an estimate after I explained what needed to be done. Nothing was to be removed. I thought he was running an errand to return shortly. He did not come back till late in the day after I called and finally sent a pic of my tree with its arms cut off except some lower ones. He offered to charge me only half price and had to cut the main stalk lower so it wouldn't look so akward (like it was giving the finger)and have a better chance of survival. He said in acouple years it will look better. My first experience hiring someone and doing a Yelp review. He seemed unconcerned with the devastation of my tree and it's appearance in my small front yard. After the Yelp review he returned many times to try to get us to take the review down. Each time he was asked not to return. There was no prior concern to the events that had happened. The tree our children climbed and played in, shaded our house for many years. read more

Doug Petersen Tree Service - Before/after of my palm tree in Natomas. Amazing job! - Tree Services Near Me - Sacramento, California

Great professional service. This company is where you go to get those super big trees safely removed for a reasonable price. Wonderful customer service. I am very happy with their service read more

Our tree trimming project began due to a down large limb off of one of our 8 medium to large backyard trees. We began the project by getting competitive bids from various tree services in and around Sacramento. Doug Peterson hands down gained our trust and loyalty based on his honest, professional approach, great pricing and awesome communication. He returned our call very quickly and was able to come out the same day we made contact. He examined the tree that lost a limb and recommended that the tree would need to be felled due to the downed limb taking almost half the trunk with it. We had Doug examine the other 7 trees, none of which had ever been trimmed in more than 25 years. Doug provided a more than fair estimate for felling one tree and trimming the remaining 7. The work would include cutting the wood into approximately 16" pieces, stacking and cleanup. Doug and his crew arrived on the designated day and time. It was amazing to watch them! We can't give enough praise to these men and the thorough job they did. The trimmed trees are beautiful! Thank you Doug and crew for the great job! read more

They handled everything professionally and expertly, and their price is MORE AFFORDABLE than the quoted price of the other two professional tree service providers here in East Sacramento. They were on time, came around 9:30 in the morning, and were done earlier than anticipated. His multi-gender crew, who each carry their own unique personal characteristics, are very approachable, funny, and warm. I give them two thumbs up for their work and highly recommend Doug for your tree problems. Scope of Work. We had two palm trees over 32-ft high and Doug and his crew took them down in less than two hours. They cleaned and hauled everything up. They also took down a pecan tree branch that was over the roof. They did it in portions and did not let the branch fall down on the roof. They used small-sized stump removal equipment, which easily went through our backyard, to remove five tree stumps/cluster roots and medium -sized equipment to remove the palm tree stumps in the front yard. Sawdust and debris produced from the stump removal equipment were ready to be hauled but I decided to keep them, so they raked it evenly over the backyard without me asking for it. read more

Doug and crew- thanks again for yet another AMAZING job! Bushes in backyard look great! No mess left behind! Thank you so very much! This is the 3rd time we've called upon Doug. Never disappointed! Two thumbs up! read more

Doug Petersen and his crew are still doing a great job with the trees on my property. He recently trimmed my palm tree, removed some top-heavy growth from my birch tree and trimmed some overhanging branches from the magnolia tree. His crew is hard working and well equipped for the work. I would recommend Doug Petersen Tree Service to my friends and neighbors. He has been providing me with excellent service for over 25 years. read more

Couldn't be happier! Doug does amazing work. Very professional. Shows up on time. Price was fair. Good communication. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or use him again in the future. He took out 7 stumps for us and removed a poll from an old chain link fence (without us even having to ask). Doug and his crew are top notch and are leagues above the other stump removal service companies. read more

We could not be more pleased with Doug's services. The city required us to either trim or remove two street trees within 30 days. Doug gave us a bid to remove them within a day after we contacted him. He was able to do the work the very next day! And at a fair price. We will definitely use Doug again. read more

Doug beat another bid by $2000. Three 80-90" Liquid Amber trees to remove with stump grinding. They came out with appropriate equipment to do a big job right. He and his crew were fast and cleaned up after themselves. They repaired a fence that was damaged when the trees were removed -- left it stronger than they found it. Sad to lose the big shade trees, but they were diseased and posed a danger to my house and three others because they were so large. Thanks, Doug. Feel free to use me as a reference. read more

Okay everyone, these are your guys. I went to about 4 different companies for quotes to clean up my trees and Doug came back to me at about half the price of everyone else for the same job. Also, my trees look so pretty now! And they swept and cleaned up all the debris around my yard that so it actually looks even better back there than when they started. A+ work and pricing. You should call them. read more

We called on a Tuesday to have a large tree cut down in a precarious location on our front deck. He came out the same day and gave us a very reasonable quote. The next day it was cut down and all cleaned up by the time I got home from work. Superb job and crew. read more

Excellent communication, service and price. I couldn't be happier. In addition, when I contacted Doug about a potential problem, he responded immediately and then came by the next day to investigate further. Despite that it turned out to have nothing to do with Dave, his crew or his company he still provided advise to identify the issue and resolve. Very impressive. read more

I choose Doug from Yelp and was very pleased. Doug and his crew did an awesome job. They were fast ,efficient, on time and friendly. I had several estimates and Doug was reasonably priced. After the job, his crew did the clean-up and it was just like it was. Very nice crew. I would definitely use them again! read more

What a great, honest friendly business to work with! Doug took down a tree in my backyard earlier this year and then came back and ground the stump just yesterday. I had to wait on the stump until I was able to have some concrete removed from around the stump. Thank you so much Doug! read more

Doug Petersen and gang live up to the hype. They took out 1 tree and topped another. I have newly planted shrubs where the tree was taken out. Not one was affected. Afterwards everything was cleaned up. Not a branch left. They also swept the whole side of the house which I've neglected for some time. I wasn't expecting that. Great & THANKS!!!They also took away the elderly neighbors branches and twigs left on their lawn adjacent to ours as a bonus. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

I had Doug and his crew cut two trees last week. The first one was a orange tree that they had out, stump grounded and cleanup completed in less than four hours. Two days later they came to another property of mine and took down a huge pine tree that was leaning into my neighbors yard. This tree had to be at least 50 feet tall. Doug came out with a crew of 6 and had the tree down and a 4 foot diameter stump ground down and all the wood hauled off in 8 hours. His crew is very professional as he is, their workmanship is like a machine and Doug's pricing for both jobs was by far the best of the two other tree services that came out. I Highly Recommend That If you need A Tree Cut Down, CALL DOUG. I posted pictures of the orange tree before and after and the pine tree too. read more

Doug Peterson and his crew arrived on time and removed 5 trees in my backyard up against an old chain link fence. He was very easy to contact and communicate with. Was even available to give me an estimate the first day I called him. They left my backyard in better shape than it was when they arrived. I will definitely use them again. Thank you!! read more

I found Doug on yelp and decided to give him a call based on prior reviews here. I'm so glad I did! These reviews are 100% accurate when it comes to hiring his crew. They showed up on time and left our property looking cleaner than when they arrived! We are so pleased with their work. We had two very large palm trees in our backyard along with a smaller clump overlooking our pool. We have a very tight backyard space and the trees were up against a neighboring fence next to the pool. The front yard had a few smaller trees and bushes that we also wanted removed and a random palm stump that had been left by the previous owners. It was a big job and we were told with other quotes we received that grinding the palm trees stumps and hauling the debris were going to be an extra charge. One of the companies who quoted us wanted almost double of what Doug quoted us for the job. He gave us one price for the entire job, along with hauling away everything they tore down. Overall, Doug's pricing is more than fair, his communication is prompt, and his crew is friendly and does excellent work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for tree removal or maintenance. read more

Doug was one of two names I was given by my realtor. Other guy bid $800 more than Doug AND would charge even more for stump removal. Doug and his crew were very professional and super clean. My patio was more clean after they left than before they arrived. I wanted some rounds saved from the tree to use as seating around our fire pit and Doug left 5 prefect rounds nicely on our patio. Already flat and level enough to sit on! I highly recommend Doug and his crew for you next job. You will not be disappointed! read more
