We have been using Horticultural Services Ltd for our large trees since 2018, and we couldn't be happier with their work. Our trees are now the healthiest and most beautiful in the neighborhood. In fact, we are often asked who maintains them, and we are always happy to recommend Chris and his team. They are consistently professional and do outstanding work, all at a fair price. Chris continually impresses us with his extensive knowledge of trees and his willingness to educate us on what is needed to keep them healthy and thriving. We will always rely on Horticultural Services Ltd for our tree maintenance needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert tree care. read more

We have used Chris for two jobs in our very tree abundant yard. He is a fair broker, so knowledgable and incredibly competent. You can tell that he cares deeply about his work. His crew is professional and careful with your yard. He always makes recommendations that work for us both aesthetically and financially. He will give you quotes that are specific to each tree so that you can pick and choose what you think is most urgent. Thank you Chris for doing such an awesome job for us! read more

Chris and his entire team were incredible. Not only was the quality of their work top notch, and their pricing very fair and reasonable, but every interaction with Chris was prompt, efficient, honest, and professional. I would very highly recommend them! read more

No more than 5 minutes after I had submitted an inquiry to Horticultural Services, I was contacted by Chris. From the moment I spoke to him I could tell he was a professional. Him and his team showed up precisely on time, and took the utmost care in trimming large overhanging branches. The quality of work, timeliness, communication, and professionalism were impressive enough to encourage this review. They also are very fair with their cost and services. I would highly recommend Horticultural Services, and Chris, to anyone who needs tree or yard service. They will be my first, and only call for my future needs moving forward. read more

After PG&E nearly destroyed our 50 year old Silver maple (the centerpiece of our yard) with their hack job and getting annual service from a different arborist company, Chris and team came to the rescue. PG&E told us our tree should just be chopped down. Chris inspected the tree and gave us great insight and advice on how we could preserve our precious tree. Through expert trimming and pruning (working around an active bee hive), they did an amazing job of cutting back the tree to make it safe and very aesthetic. We are very grateful that Horticultural services was able to save our tree AND keep it looking beautiful. They are real pro's and experts at what they do. read more

If you are looking for a professional and knowledgeable Tree Services organization, look no further than Chris at Horticultural Services. Chris's team trimmed one of the largest Oaks in Walnut Creek on a residential property with the utmost care and safety. Chris pointed out previous issues from not using a professional Arborist. This is not your typical coupon Tree Service you get coupon tagged on your door or mailbox. There were actual active bee hives in the Oak and his team took the care to preserve the living creatures. You may find a lower price but if you are looking for top quality, safety (especially if other properties are affected or over sensitive areas by your trees), and beautification is desired to name a few. Give Chris a shot. You will appreciate the value and pro work plus he's a good guy! read more

We have been using Chris and his incredible team (shout out to Rick) since 2012. When people say he is honest, they are not kidding. He really is there to make sure your trees will be cared for to live another 20 years. His bids are more than fair when you see the job they do. I am embarrassed to say that our yard is cleaner when they leave because they do such a great clean up job. They even cleaned the leaves that fell into our pool!! And I trust his team completely. When Chris is not there, he has artist Rick to sculpt the trees to perfection. And Chris will take the time to go over each tree and let you know its history and if it adds value or harm to your yard. He truly loves what he does. And side note, ask Chris for some book references. The guy is a historical wonder and has provided some great books to read. He and his team are the real deal. Have to leave now to go outside to look at my beautiful trees! read more

No wonder Horticultural Services is Diamond Certified for 2016. They were great! The owner, Chris Chapman, is a real gentleman; a very trustworthy individual. His crew was in cadence with him and our needs. All the work and advice he and his crew did for us was spot on! Oh, his price was extremely competitive. I'll request his expertise in the near future again. home owner in Pleasant Hill read more

After getting several bids, we decided to have this company remove and prune many trees in our yard. They did a terrific job, arrived on time, cleaned up everything like they had never been here. Chris is a great guy, a certified arborist, and has a great crew working for him. It was a big project and they were here for two days. They were not the least expensive, nor were they they most expensive, but either way my husband felt they would do the best job. We couldn't be more pleased! read more

Chris Chapman is a very knowledgable arborist. His crew was one time and took down four tree (and ground out the stumps) in three hours. We wanted the truck of one of the trees intact for a table and they graciously accommodated our request. What I appreciated most was his response to our inquiry about getting some limbs cut on our pine trees in the backyard. Instead of going for the immediate money, he spent time explaining to us the best time to trim the trees as to avoid beetle damage and how to best seek out the services. We obtained four quotes for the removal of the four trees, and he was the most reasonable (and appeared to be the most knowledgable). Great work and we will hire him for any future tree work. read more

If you are in need of tree work look no further. A large branch had fallen from one of our oak trees and was leaning on my neighbors house. I reached out to Chris at Horticultural Services and received an immediate response. Chris came out later that day, gave me a very fair quote and scheduled the branch removal for later that week. I noticed that the branch was beginning to sag on my neighbors house and called Chris back to see if they could remove it sooner. Chris came back out, spent time talking with and putting my neighbor at ease, and rescheduled us for first thing the next morning. Chris even came back out himself at 7am on a Saturday to oversee things. They did excellent work and when they left you couldn't even notice that they had been there. A great customer experience! read more

Chris Chapman and his crew took down a 70 foot Cedar between my house and my neighbors. They were terrific. It was fast and reasonable and he and his crew left the place really clean. They were polite, wanting to please and I would use their services again in a hearbeat. They work all over the Bay Area. Taree Lyn read more

Chris C. and his team are awesome! Arrived early and got straight to work. His knowledge of the species of trees and what needed to be taken down was very evident...His team cleaned everything up and my cedar has a nice fresh haircut! read more

The owner, CHris Chapman, is the most honest businessman ---if you do not need his services, he will tell you so. He transformed our yard from a mishmash of trees and limbs into an incredible park setting. I would never use anyone else!!! He and his employees are prompt, clean up after themselves, and do an incredible job. Chris is extremely knowledgeable, and can tell you what really needs to be done to protect and enhance your trees. read more

Chris Chapman and his guys did a terrific job. They came out to do the work within a few days of Chris' coming to give us an estimate, which he did clearly, efficiently and in a friendly manner. They took out three trees, reshaped a couple of others, advised us on health care for a couple of problem trees, and took out all the under story trees on our large property. The prices were reasonable, broken down by item, and the workers were fast, safe, and left the place neater than when they arrived. We'll be using them again in the fall and plan to make them our go-to guys for tree work. read more
