    Howard and his team were professional, careful, hard working, and service oriented. He was open to feedback and willing to meet our needs. Most importantly he is licensed, insured, and experienced. He helped us prune a massive tree in our yard that was long overdue. He is very responsive via text message which made communicating easy!

    Howard and his team did a stunning job on our trees. He pruned our redwood, purple plums, a magnolia, an apple tree, two Japanese maples and a lemon tree! They all look beautiful and his team was professional, friendly and left our yard even cleaner than it was before they arrived. Will definitely be calling him again for any future pruning needs.

    a man on a ladder trimming a palm tree

    My palm tree needs to be trimmed, I contact three contractors, Howard Linacre replied my phone text massage shortly, and came to my house to check the the tree next day. I chose Howard to do the trimming, because the quick response and reasonable quote. First I like they came to my house on time and gave me a text massage to let me know they were coming before arrival. Secondly, they did great job. What impressed me most was that they also did what I asked at the end of the trimming. I am happy with they service and enjoy the good looking tree in my front yard.

    When a huge branch fell on our neighbor's yard, we decided it was time to get it significantly trimmed.

    We hired Precision Tree Care to deal with several massive trees that were constantly raining leaves…read moreonto both our roof and our neighbors'--which meant nonstop gutter clogging and growing concerns about insects. It had become a real maintenance headache. On top of that, a bunch of small trees had started sprouting everywhere from the seeds constantly dropping from these larger trees. The arborists from Precision Tree Care took care of all of it, pruning everything cleanly and restoring order to the space. Their team came in and absolutely saved the day. They cleared things out thoughtfully and professionally, and the difference is huge--our backyard now gets much more natural light, and we're no longer dealing with constant debris buildup in the gutters. The whole process was smooth, and the results exceeded our expectations. Really appreciate the work--thank you, Precision Tree Care!

From…read morethe start, Ryan took the time to walk me through the different service options and explain what each one actually meant. I didn't know much about palm pruning going in, and he was genuinely patient and thorough in helping me understand what my trees needed. The estimate was professional and straightforward, and he provided several options for me to consider. On the day of the job, Ryan and the crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and wrapped everything up faster than I expected. Smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend.

    If you own property in the Bay Area, you already know tree bids can get... aspirational…read more I've used EC Tree Service three times over five years -- everything from removing multiple 50-year flowering pear trees to taking out three tall birches to regular roofline trims so my insurance doesn't panic. Edwin's estimates are straightforward and fair. No "we'll reassess once we're up there." The number stays the number. I've also priced the larger companies (including The Davey Tree Expert Company), and the difference wasn't subtle. EC came in literally 3-4x less. Same clean cuts. Same haul-away. Same spotless yard. They show up. They move fast. They clean everything. In a region where contractor pricing sometimes feels venture-backed, Edwin is refreshingly old-school.

Even though it was Christmas Day, Elmer showed up within 30 minutes and provided an extremely fair and honest estimate. His crew arrived about 30 minutes later and completed the job promptly and professionally. They were very careful with our clay tile roof while removing the large branch and also took the time to prune all the weak branches from the tree to prevent future issues. Everything was done safely, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with them during a stressful situation, and I truly appreciated their responsiveness and professionalism--especially on a holiday. I would highly recommend EC Tree Service to anyone in need of tree work.

    These guys are pros! Hire them…read more Jim and his crew removed 3 massive trees from our front yard. These were the biggest trees on the block and beginning to break all over the place. This was a large job to say the least. Pacific Coast Tree Service came highly recommended, bid the job competitively and and were the ONLY company that actually had different members of the crew (and subs) out to assess and quote the job. The result was pure quality and bonus of the best price too. They had the necessary equipment and staff to ensure the job went perfectly, including Tania at the office making sure all things moved along correctly. They took care of us right from the start, helping us acquire the necessary permits and explaining the entire job. Jim gave us some great information and insight into dealing with these large trees on our property. When the job underwent it was a huge event. Big trees, cars on a busy road, houses close by etc. They handled every detail. Each piece of those enormous trees landed right where they wanted. They managed the traffic, cleaned up every bit of debris, respected my neighbors. You name it, they crushed it. We were blown away. On top of all of that, they we're friendly and great to deal with. Bottom line. Hire this company.

They are especially responsive in emergencies. When one of our trees was damaged in a severe windstorm & endangered our house they showed up after hours, in the rain on a Sunday and safely removed the whole tree. They go above and beyond in their service. PCTS always leaves our property neater and cleaner than before they arrived. They have even provided replacements & planting services for trees we've lost. Their prices are always fair & reasonable - I would not use any other tree service company. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I interviewed four different landscaping companies before choosing him, and Chris stood out as the most knowledgeable, especially about the Outer Sunset area in San Francisco and what grows best in this climate. He really took the time to listen. We met several times before the work began to design the project, and I never felt rushed. He was flexible, collaborative, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. He stayed open to changes and new ideas as they came up, and he coordinated really well with my contractor. I also found his prices to be very reasonable for single-family homeowners. I don't have much gardening experience, and Chris was able to take the lead in creating a beautiful, low-maintenance backyard that fits my family's lifestyle and the overall design of our home. The backyard he created is a place we'll cherish for years. I'm very grateful to him.
