I was pleased with the tree work you and your crew did in trimming and shaping my oak and crape myrtle trees. The work was performed efficiently and the works areas were left cleaner than when you started. If you need a future reference, you may include my contact information. read more

They have removed major big trees (sick trees) for us, at two different times over the last decade. His crew always did great work, and his rates were very reasonable. I highly recommend them. read more

I've used Forest Tree Services 3 times in 10 years. I consult with other arborists and always come back to Forest. Why? Forest - yes that is the owner's name - and his crew know their stuff. There is an overall level of professionalism rarely seen in today's environment. The crew arrives in their own cars. Not a junker in the bunch. They are on time and work a solid day - no loafing with this tight crew. They are all polite, respectful, well spoken and communicate well. It is a pleasure to have a crew like this. The last job was 2 days of hard heavy work. They do a thorough clean up. The crew leader, Felix, kept asking throughout the job "Is this OK?" "What do you think?". Plus, when I needed them to revisit something there was no push back, no attitude. They work very hard making sure the trees are trimmed appropriately, balanced and beautiful. As for pricing, Forest has always been more than fair. Additionally, and just as important, Forest is very responsive to any messages and getting any documentation you need. I honestly cannot say enough good about this company. read more

I hired Forest and his crew to trim a couple of limbs off of 2 trees. He did an amazing job. He did what I asked for and his crew did a terrific job cleaning up. One would almost not know that they just trimmed limbs where there was a lot of debris, they did such a great job. Forest is very professional and I will hire him again to help maintain my trees. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - Someone from their company broke into our mailboxes and our neighbors mailboxes and left brochures. If you aren't the USPS stay out of mailboxes. Tried to call them and you just get cut off. Nice try. We have you on video. Add lying to the reasons for the 1 star review. read more

Forest Tree Services - Flyer as found in mailbox. Several neighbors have the same one. - Tree Services Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I had a beautiful Blue Spruce that split open in the last huge winds. Forest sent Felix and the crew out. It had to be completely taken down as the next tear would have gone into my house. I was very pleased that Felix was so respectful of the tree. He is a remarkable person. They came on time, came back when they said they would, and cleaned everything up including my neighbor's roof. I recommend them unreservedly. read more

Our experience with Forest and the tree removal crew, led by Felix was as good as it gets! The estimate was fair, the work was expertly completed with every branch and log cut and lowered with pinpoint accuracy, and the cleanup was thorough. These are professional, fair and friendly people. Again, Forest Tree Services earned a true 5+. read more

I've had tree removal by a few different local companies and have had no bad experiences. But I recently became concerned about the health of some of my redwood trees and wanted them looked at by a certified arborist with a high level of knowledge about that type of tree. Forest definitely fit the bill. He immediately noticed a couple of trees that needed an epicormic sprout or two removed. There was another that I thought needed work but he said that tree was likely to clear its issue all by itself. I also had a very messy cedar and a huge bushy live oak cleaned out. Forest's team really knows what they are doing. I didn't think either of those trees was especially attractive, but now they are just beautiful. During the recent rain and windstorms, one of the redwoods near my house started to lean. Forest called as soon as he got my message, came right out, and even though it was a weekend and it was still raining, his team dropped what they were doing and came on over to stabilize not only that tree but 2 others near it that were also a threat (one I had not noticed). They used some very impressive problem-solving skills to keep everything safe until they had time to return and remove the trees later. The removal took less time than estimated and without damage to 3 nearby outbuildings, my house, or the landscape. Amazing! They are quick, efficient, professional, and left the yard as clean as could be. I am so glad to have found Forest Tree Services. read more

These guys are excellent! I just bought a place and needed a 30 foot cypress cut down because it was pushing on my porch awning and dropping debris on my roof. Scary during the storms. Anyway, I got a few estimates to cut it down and Forest Tree Service came in the lowest. I was surprised because he was far more professional than the others I spoke with. I wasn't expecting the superior service I received by the crew that showed up. These guys worked like a well oiled machine! I cannot begin tell you how impressed I was with how efficient and fast they were. I highly recommend! Thank you Forest. read more

Exceptional quality service. The work Felix and his crew did was outstanding in all respects. I didn't know my trees had the potential to look this good. read more

I had two huge pine trees that were diseased in my back yard that they took down that were just feet from a tall fence and two waterfalls. They took them down with precision. We were extremely pleased with their work and highly recommend them and they were very reasonably priced. We will definitely have them back if we need more tree work. read more

I see that Yelp has a rave review I wrote for Forest Tree Service 5 years ago.They are as good as ever. This time they removed two large, sick pines, shaped and cleared deadwood from a mulberry tree, raised the canopies of two huge sycamores, pruned heavy (if-they-drop-they'll-crush-my-neighbor's-house) branches from a liquidambar, and did a GREAT job of cleaning up afterwards. Love these guys! read more

We were delighted with the service we received from Forest Tree Services. They moved everything in our yard that could possibly have had anything from the tree fall on them and then carefully replaced everything when they were done, even small flower pots. They did an excellent job making sure the large ash tree was not hanging too close to the roof and thinning out deadwood and excess growth, but not overdoing it. They removed a problematic branch from a maple tree and removed a lot of deadwood from our ailing orange tree and also removed sickly branches. They were all cheerful and hard-working and responsive and even got to our house a bit early! The price was good too. I enthusiastically recommend them. Great crew. read more

Forest has been caring for our trees for over five years. He and his crew have always been courteous and professional. They have performed maintenance to our pines and oaks, cutting out dead limbs and raising the level of the branches so we can walk under them. They cut down some poplars and a big old pine that was dying. Most recently, they have treated our silver maple for an aphid and fungal infestation. Forest braced two acacia trees to improve their stability. They work hard, get the job done and do a total cleanup. We have always felt as though we have gotten our money's worth. We would highly recommend Forest Tree Service to anyone needing help with their trees! read more

Professional and kind from my first call to the jobs completion. The crew is efficient and adept in their craft. It was 100 degrees outside, they got the job done, on time and without complaint. Highly recommend Forest Tree care, read more

Forest came to give a quote to trim back the trees in our back yard. He walked me through what needed to be done on each tree and gave me a quote to do the work. We had other folks come out and felt he had given us the most fair (fair not cheapest) price and was the most knowledgeable so we went with him. I felt confident that he and his team would do a good job. AND THEY DID. They were professional and did an amazing job. We will definitely be hiring Forest and his team again. read more

We have used Forest Tree Services twice now to remove and trim trees on our property. They are a pleasure to work with and do an extremely careful and thorough job. It's clear they have great pride in delivering excellent work. We felt they really listened and delivered on our needs for our tree work. read more

Great service! They were quick and friendly. We hired them to remove two of our overgrown trees that were taking over our backyard. Now we have so much space for our children to play. We had a couple of estimates done before hiring Forest and his crew and Forest had the best deal. Highly recommended! read more

We hired Forrest Tree Service to take down 5 cypress trees in the yard. The crew showed up on time, worked as a well oiled machine, cleaned up and were done within the allotted time frame. The crew was efficient, friendly and did a great job. Highly recommend these guys. Thank you for a job so well done! read more

Cannot say enough about Forest (his real name) and his crew. They came out in an emergency situation, cut up a downed oak and then also removed a dangerously leaning one...all in 8 hours. These trees were massive, and the fallen one caused a lot of damage and debris. The yard looks clean, the grass has been raked of bits and all in all, other than the huge pile of cut wood, you would never know they had been here. Great crew, great company, fair and reasonable too. A+++ read more

Forest and his crew did an excellent job for us. We have a few Redwood trees on our property and they were able to thin them out enhancing the natural beauty of the trees. We also had them remove a large Eucalyptus tree, along with some pruning on our other trees. All of the work was done to perfection. Their workers are highly skilled, communicate well, are extremely efficient, and the work was reasonably priced. We highly recommend Forest Tree Services and will definitely have them come back for future maintenance and care of our trees. Nikki P. read more

Friendly, efficient, great clean up, well done! Forest and his team were happy to attend to our particular concerns.

Great service! Came out for a quote and we scheduled our service for the next week. We had a huge palm tree (taller than our house) and a gigantic yucca tree removed and had those stumps as well as several others ground. The team was great work work with and so friendly. They even worked with us to measure and cut a few pieces of the palm tree for us to use in the yard. Would recommend them to anyone read more

I actually have not used this service because a tree service I called earlier finally called me back and I forgot I called Forest. Only after that did I notice Forest had left a voicemail the day I called him. The reason I'm reviewing this despite not having used service is just because he was responsive. We had damage done to our house about two months back and needed various contractors. It's true what they say - you don't get calls back. It's been frustrating. And that makes you wonder how reliable they'll be when/if the job starts. I'd trust this guy. read more

Do you remember the last time you hired a company (or even a person for that matter) who knocked your socks off and obliterated your expectations? Forest Tree Services is the only tree company I will ever have work on my trees because of the work they did this week! Stellar, Supreme, Outstanding, Exceptional & Second-to-None barely scratch the surface on ways to describe how awesome this company is!!!! Forest is the owner of the company and when I say he works hard, that is an understatement! He and his crew showed up on time, scaled the trees and artfully took them down. He is so skilled at his craft. It was amazing how quickly the branches & trees were removed. Everything was tied and lowered to the ground effortlessly. Watching this company work was better than most concerts! My woodpile is now twice the size of my house!! He took down several trees, trimmed about 100 more, chipped up the bits and cleaned everything. He is one of the most professional people I've ever hired. The job was big and the crew had to come back on a Saturday to finish up. Who does that?!? Hire them! They are fabulous. It's the best advice you'll get my fellow Yelpers. read more

The team at Forest Tree Services was such a pleasure to work with-- from our estimates with Forest that were fair and friendly to the crew that made quick and clean work of several trees in our yard. They left our yard cleaner than it was before they got here! Our driveway was covered in leaves when they arrived and perfectly clean when they left--- they didn't need to do that-- it was so nice!! Prices are fair, crew is fun and friendly. An all-around great experience. I highly recommend!! read more

They did the job on time and well. The price was reasonable and everything was easy to get done. They were able to work my schedule and were very gracious with me as I nit picked the branches. I will use them again. read more

We had a pin oak and an apple tree in our backyard and Forest and his crew came and pruned both beautifully. They were quick and very reasonably priced. They left the yard spotless as they took all the trimmings too. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I needed two diseased pine trees removed from my front yard. Forest Tree Service was one of several bids I got. It was a challenging job because one of the trees was growing in and amongst power lines. They handled the obstacle safely and professionally. They showed up when they said they would, were very careful about my nearby neighbors property, and did a great job cleaning up after themselves. They did exactly what was promised. I would recommend Forest and his team, and will call him back if I need more tree work done. read more

Forest listened to our concerns and worked with us to carefully develop a plan. Our backyard silver maple had been pollarded but was blocking our newly installed solar panels and needed shaping. We waited for late fall and his crew arrived, masked and on time, to complete the job. They were efficient and friendly and cleaned up our yard and street beautifully upon completion. We are perfectly pleased with this company and highly recommend. read more

Forest and his crew did an excellent job. But I was unclear as to what we had originally discussed and it would cost me more money for Forest to come back and review. Important to clarify the hourly rate of $483 an hour and a $1000 minimum as well as exact details of job. read more

I scheduled an appt for today 10/24. I talked to them yesterday asking if they are coming. Hoping they could come later than 9 am. No - they had to be here by 9 am. I changed my client schedule. No show. I called and left messages. Finally at 11:12 am I get a person apologizing that they had an "emergency" tree cut and decided to be nice to that client by doing a favor in cutting more. They didn't have the kindness to let their next client know they were not coming. Said they are on their way now over 2 hours later. No thanks. read more

We had an excellent experience with Forest Tree Service - from the very prompt return of our call and ease of scheduling to polite, efficient work at a fair price. Forest, the owner of the company, is a certified arborist, knowledgeable about tree health and practical in his approach. In addition, his team is great to work with. They left everything very neat and clean as well. Highly recommend them for any tree work needed. read more

Forest was on time and very knowledgeable. He made great suggestions on trimming valley oaks, and wrote up my estimate before leaving. I agreed to his very reasonable bid for trimming 8 oaks and cutting down a few small dead trees. The guys arrived with a chipper, two men on the ground, and one climber. They started a little late but did a great job in the amount of time they had. The guys helped me out to divide the chips in two places. They left the property clean. I will use Forest and his crew again. read more

Felipe and his crew did a great job. Our trees look good, and they cleaned up and hauled everything away. Will definitely call them back in the winter for trimming! They were also professional and informative. read more

Forest was great with stating what would be done and when his crew would show up. Felix the lead on the project was awesome and very professional, as was the whole crew. Great price and great work taking down several trees in very difficult location between and over houses. Thanks. read more

I hired Forest to cut back, shape and prune several trees in our backyard. I requested a quote from Forest based on the favorable Yelp reviews. After meeting him and discussing my project I was very impressed with his knowledge and his expertise. His quote was reasonable based on my prior experience with other tree services plus I personally liked him and felt I could rely on him to do a good job. Forest and his crew met all my expectations. Professional job including a very thorough job of cleaning up. I highly recommend him for any type of tree service work. Richard F Santa Rosa, CA read more

Forest Tree Services is an excellent company. The owner (Forest) promptly responded to my request for an estimate and spent time reviewing my options for tree removal with me. I had several large trees that needed removal and I was advised of scheduling of the crew. His crew is completely professional; arriving at the scheduled time, meeting with me prior to starting work and reviewing the project, advising of any project issues (there were none, but they were careful to note any prior evidence of property damages before they started working), etc. The crew is a gem! Super hard workers that are safety conscious, courteous and professionals. My property was left clean, all debris removed and the work completed exceeded my expectations. read more

If I were to write a one word review, it would simply read AWESOME! But Forest and crew deserve more, and wow do they ever! Over last weeks heavy rains, a tree in our front yard gave up and fell itself, across our entire driveway! Turns out it was rotten in its core, hence its demise. First let me say that Forest answered my call, himself and promptly on the first ring. He came out the following morning, assessed the clean up and removal, and gave a very fair estimate. As promised, him and his precision like crew came out Saturday, the very next morning to remove the tree and some. His crew are very professional and treated me with respect and concern. They work together to make for a very efficient job, not wasting valuable time. Forest himself is a tree expert, in both knowledge and pruning. As the crew chipped and loaded the large limbs away, Forest gave all of my trees a look and trimmed the overhanging cedar tree branches over our house, to insurance specifications, 3 to four feet clearance, he cleaned up my butterfly bush, Japanese maple, juniper pine and the old black walnut, which had a dead limb. He even went as far as getting on the roof to make sure our gutters were clear of debris, and blew them out and the rood with blower. Lastly, the clean up so well, there were no sign of the fell tree, not a speck, they left the premisses clean and driveway blown of all debris. Attention to detail, knowledgable, polite, courteous, professional; expect this from Forest and his crew. read more
