We arranged for an onsite quote with Mitch and he arrived at the start of the given time window. He was well informed about our type of trees, how they grow, and gave good suggestions for how to trim them. He clearly communicated his plan and timeline for when he was available to perform the service. We ultimately decided to postpone the work as PG&E gave us a reprieve on timing, but appreciated his perspectives, insights, and time. read more

Crew arrived on time and did a great job of trimming our Oak Tree. It took them about 6 hours with 3 workers. They did a nice job cleaning up the branches and saw dust. I asked them to cut several wooden branches into stumps for the garden as display my plants. They did it without hesitation. Thank you! I recommend Mathers for your tree service needs. read more

Mathers Tree Service - Great Trimming - Tree Services Near Me

Ok, I haven't even used these guys yet but like them already. Via Yelp I asked for a quote and sent them a couple pictures of a stump that is in a very odd place, it's between a wall and walk way. Within minutes they contacted me and told me because of the location they can't do it. I really appreciate the honesty. They could have come out, done a hack job and charged me for it. I have a few other projects in the semi near future and will definitely contact them again. read more

Corliss C. I highly recommend this tree service. Excellent work, good people, fast service, and reasonable prices. We will always call them first. read more

I must have forgotten to write a review when this work was first done, but now that I need more work at a new house, I see my mistake. Last year, we had an old tree in our yard that was not doing well. We contacted Mathers about what to do, and Mitch came out and said trimming it would not really be advisable because it was too far gone. So we had it removed. He and his wife Emily helped me with the permit application, then removed the tree and did the stump grinding. They did a good job, cleaned up well, and we've had no further growth in the year since it's been gone. And the price was better than most other estimates, even ones from random yardwork people who are not as skilled. I was able to pay using Venmo, which I prefer over mailing a check. read more

We had a large tree die in our front yard and after meeting with a number of arborists I felt most Comfortable and confident going with Mathers. The owner came and met with us and gave us the best advice and had so much knowledge about not only the tree we were taking out but all the other trees that had been planted by the previous owners and how to take care of them! We scheduled the removal And they were prompt, efficient and filled the hole with the tree mulch. I would recommended them to everyone! read more

The crew arrived late and were notably in a hurry to finish on time.Branches were lowered and landed sometimes without sufficient guidance, resulting in one damaged garden light. Trump grinding was excellent. Cleanup acceptable. HW read more

A family run operation which takes pride in their work. Very thorough in explaining what needed to be done for the health of the tree. Very receptive for the service I wanted. Quick, clean, and worked well with the neighbors too. read more

I was impressed with the promptness when responding to my request for quote as well as the follow-up. The workmen were receptive to my input when trimming the tree. And they removed all the debris. Highly recommend their service. read more

Great experience. Timely, knowledgeable and truly care about the environment. Highly recommend.

Our yard needed a variety of tree work from pruning to tree removal, and across the entire job, Nick and the crew were top notch. They were also very friendly and accommodating to my requests (remove a little more here, a little less there, etc.) during the work. I've never been as happy with a tree service, and will definitely be contacting them again next time. read more

Great service. Amazing work. Honest pricing. I was extremely pleased with Mather's tree service. We had them out to remove dead wood from our oaks and cut them back a bit from our house. They also removed some dead trees and two redwoods that were dried up and taking all the moisture from the rest of the yard. They did a beautiful job on the oaks and preserved several shrubs surrounding the redwoods and still managed to grind out the stumps. Plus, when they were able to complete all their work in one day instead of two they adjusted their original estimate down and lowered my bill. Highly recommend!! read more

Mathers came to trim 5 trees at our house that had overgrown. They were right on time, trimmed and cleaned exactly as we wanted, consulted us at key moments to fine tune, and worked really hard for almost 6 hours with a cheerful attitude. After they left, several neighbors happened by and commented on how good the trees looked and asked when the guys had come to the house. They were surprised that the work had literally been completed a few mins earlier. The clean-up was that good. Summing up, their work was excellent, very cost competitive, and we most assuredly will use them again and recommend them to our neighbors. read more

Mitch and crew know HOW to cut and WHAT to cut. They respect the living trees they climb and prune. They take the time to make your trees look good after they trim and shape them. You can trust them. read more

I've worked with Mitchell and his crew several times and each time has been a great experience. From scheduling for a quote to getting the job started they're responsive and flexible. We've had trees removed, stumps ground, and trees trimmed. All work was done well and their prices are very competitive. Overall great people to work with. Highly recommend. read more

Mathers Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me

I had a great experience with Mathers. They took the time to thoroughly assess my cypress trees and palms, and advised against certain uneccesary work (like topping) that I had gotten quoted for with other companies. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for trustworthy, professional advice and service. read more

I had a large tree removed which was right up against my house and in a narrow entryway. It was beginning to lean and I feared it might fall over in the next windy storm, aside from the potential fire hazard being so close to the house. The process dealing with Mathers was smooth from the initial quote to the finished job. Very pleasant to work with and the crew did an excellent job of cutting the tree being careful not to damage the house or yard. I recommend them highly! read more

Very impressed with Mathers Tree Service! They did exactly what was quoted, showed up on time, very easy going and respectful crew. Price was very reasonable, and the entire process was seamless. Will use them again in the future and will recommend them to others. read more

We have used Mathers for a few years. This last time was for my Dad's house and we had to get multiple bids. The first company said the tree needs to come down $8,000. Mathers came out and said the tree just needs to be cleaned up. We had a certified arborist come out looked at the tree and said it just needs to be cleaned up. Mather was not only right about the tree they saved us a lot of money and now the tree looks great. read more

Have use Mathers Tree Service twice now - once for some generic trimming/pruning and once for removing a ~70 foot pine tree that was starting to die, which also had a branch going over some high voltage lines. They offered the best price both times, did great work, and Emily is very responsive and informative via email/phone. I also appreciate that they weren't pushy and didn't try to upsell us - after clearing out a bunch of dead/awkwardly overhanging branches the first time around, Mitch said most of our trees looked healthy and probably didn't need much, if any, regular trimming. Definitely will keep using them for future tree-related needs. read more

Mathers Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me

We highly recommend Mathers Tree Service. Mitch estimated our job at a reasonable price. The work involved cleanup of deadwood, light thinning and shaping of a huge oak and about five varied medium to large trees. Because he is an arborist, he gave us advice that steered us away from damaging the trees. (One of the other companies had proposed topping a couple of the trees--a bad strategy.) The crew of five arrived right before 8:00 am, as promised. They all have a great work ethic. In addition, they are very safety conscious. (The men working on and below the oak wore helmets.) They lowered heavy pieces of oak deadwood carefully by ropes to protect each other, as well as our nearby roses. Because we were home, they asked for feedback regarding issues like clearance distance from electrical wires and shaping of Japanese maples. They left their work areas very clean and hauled the cut branches and foliage away. Our trees look fab! In particular, the oak appears rather majestic and more symmetrical after Lawrence's skillful trim. read more

Trimmed my very old pomegranate and loquat trees without killing them. They are doing much better now

Went through a lot of different arborists to find someone who would remove a tree in front of my house. Mitch came for an estimate and was clear about the work that needed to be done and the costs up front. Definitely was a good value. The team at Mathers was easy to communicate with and prompt in getting the job taken care of once I approved it. It was one week from quote to tree being gone, and that included them doing all the 811 stuff with PG&E. Would recommend to anybody else who needs tree removal. read more

Mather's Tree service was great to work with! They showed up when they said they would for the estimate and the tree trimming service. The cost was as quoted, despite a more difficult than expected trim of one of our trees. I will use them again and recommend them to friends and family. read more

Crew showed up on time . Trimmed the tree as requested and shaped the tree to promote a healthy growth pattern. They cleaned up and raked the yard and in general left everything in good condition. They charged less than half the other bid i received. I will hire them again should I need them.. read more

We had a great overall experience with Mathers Tree Service. We had a large pine, several oaks, and some additional smaller trees that hadn't been pruned in probably ten years. One of the oaks has a large branch that had been damaged when a neighbor's tree had fallen on it a few years ago that I wanted an arborist to evaluate to make sure it wasn't at risk of breaking. We called Mathers on a Monday morning and Emily called us back the same day and scheduled Mitch to come to assess the project and provide an estimate the following morning. Mitch gave us a reasonable quote on the spot and was able to schedule us in the next day. He mentioned that his tree climber (who turned out to be his dad, Rich) would be in town so the timing was good. Rich, Nick, and the rest of the crew arrived on time and checked in with us frequently to make sure we were happy with the progress. They communicated well, did excellent work and exactly what we had discussed. Highly recommended! read more

Very pleased with the work by this company! Excellent customer service, very good price, very efficient crew!! All the trees in our yard were trimmed perfectly, and yard was left spotless when the job was completed. Highly recommend this company!!!! read more

I liked this business from the first hello. Professional, friendly and they really know their trees. I appreciated that I was consulted with throughout the entire tree trimming and shaping, dead wood removal and other details, that they have awareness and suggestions. I also appreciate that concern was given for animals habitat which was in a hollowed out dead wood section of a tree... we left it for the critters. Everything looks great! read more

Mathers has been out twice to trim trees on our property. Both times they have done a great job. Very easy to deal with, excellent communication, quick response, efficient. I plan on having them out for all future jobs. read more

The Real Deal! Mather's Tree came to the rescue when our other tree service completed only half the job, left the property and ceased to communicate with us. We were getting a shared fence replaced and needed small trees removed, stumps grinded, and debris removed. We got two bids, one was Mather's the other was another company that was drastically cheaper. We went with the cheaper bid but that came back to bite us. Long story short, that other tree company only did part of the contracted work and left us with a mess that halted fence construction. We were in a bind and needed the tree debris removed in a day, so we called Mather's Tree back and explained the situation. Got a call back from Emily the same day. Emily explained that they generally don't do purely debris removal but would send Mitch out to see what he could do. He came out to view the property the same day. He quoted us a fair price and said his team could come out the next day. His team showed up on time, promptly removed the debris and was so courteous blow debris the other tree company left that was present on our neighbor's roof. This is a class act company, prompt, professional, trustworthy. We learned the hard way that you get what you pay for and that Mather's Tree is well worth it. You will have piece of mind for a job well done and by thoughtful, honest workers. We will use them again without hesitation. Thank you Mr. Mather and your team for coming to our rescue. read more

We have had the best experience with Mathers Tree Services! Over the past 4 years we have had Mathers Tree Services come out to our home three (3) times to remove fallen trees and to trim trees, and they have always done an excellent job. From the scheduling with Emily to the estimate with Mitch, and the crew performing the tree trimming/removal, and clean up we have been pleased with their work. They were here in September, 2023 to remove and trim trees to prep for fence installation. We highly recommend Mathers Tree Service. read more

Mitch & Emily are awesome!! Super honest, professional & reliable! VERY reasonable quotes.. Highly recommended! read more

Removed a palm tree ( was growing up in to the power lines, ground stump, hauled debris, toppled 5 cypress trees. Job done quickly when they arrived. Cleaned up afterwards. I recommend them. read more

These guys are the ones, look no further. Prompt, not the most costly but not the cheapest, they did a thorough job, cleaned up and even put the yard furniture and lights back. 10/10, will hire again. read more

Recently had Mathers Tree Service remove a few trees from our yard and the whole experience was great. Emily and Mitch are very kind and responsive, it was easy to schedule everything and get a quote. Their team that showed up to do the removal was friendly and professional, easy to communicate with, and left the work area clear and tidy when they were done. I highly recommend them and know that I will come to them again in the future. read more

Mitch, Emily, Rich and the entire team has been great to work with from the initial contact, through the free estimate, and actual execution. I had recently bought a home, and as a first time home buyer, I've been under a lot of stress and have had to take care of a lot of expenses. When we bought the home, I knew I would need to cut the huge Siberian Elm that straddles both my property and my neighbor's. The big branches were hanging over the roof and I really didn't feel safe (we've had a tree fall in our previous neighborhood and it was fatal). Mitch took his time and carefully explained the tree and the process to me. Their quote was very competitive and I knew I could trust them. (I had someone else do a quote who probably took less than 5 minutes to inspect the trees, and gave me a very high quote which I feel like they did because the job was too complicated for them). I highly recommend Mathers Tree Service! I'm not an expert, but I feel this was a complicated job and they did a great job. I also had a last minute request to clear out some brushes that we had cut, and they took care of it no problem. read more

We've used Mathers twice. Once to remove a dead hazard tree and to trim large trees, then a year later to remove some trees. Both times they were on time and got the job done quickly, safely and at a reasonable price. You know it's a good company because the second job did have a small hiccup, but it was quickly remedied the next day with no hassle. They stood behind their word and I will definitely use them in the future a third time! read more

If you are looking for a tree service this is the BEST company in the Bay Area! The team working at Mathers tree service are the most PROFESSIONAL, RELIABLE, RESPONSIBLE, EFFICIENT and last but not at least very NICE people. Mitch, Emily and the rest of their team are absolutely amazing professionals! The guys who came to cut our trees were super organized and efficient, worked very clean and careful, we appreciated their dedication to safety especially since one of the trees was leaning towards our neighbors' house. There's no point to waste your time researching other companies, you will get the best service at the best price from Mitch! I recommend this company with 1000% confidence, do not hesitate to hire them for tree services. read more

Second time using Mathers. Had to take down a giant 59" in diameter Siberian Elm nestled between 2 sheds -one of which is my fancy schmancy she shed/office. Emily and I communicated to get the back work of permits and scheduling done. Then a crew of about 6 of the bad assest men showed up in gear I never even heard of to first of all, protect the hell outta my sheds, and 2 to take down that beast of a tree! Yes, they were hot, but their big boy tools were making it hard not to grab popcorn, sit and perch and watch the show!! It. Was. EPIC! So skilled!! Sooo STRONG!! *Think muscles bulging from actual WORK!! Why do not these men have a reality show?? They were equally as cool to deal with, cleaned up everything flawlessly, and charged a fair price. It was VERY expensive but our fault for letting that tree go for so many years. We have such peace of mind now and feel we indeed received much value for the price paid. -That is priceless! Thank you, Mathers!! See you soon :) read more

Their price was extremely reasonable and they cleaned up everything and left my yard looking great. I highly recommend them read more
