This is the second major project we've hired Hector Chan and Mr. Arbor Tree Care to complete, and once again they exceeded our expectations. This time the project included removing a 60-foot palm tree, clearing over 400 square feet of junipers and grinding the stumps, sculpting a beautiful oak tree, topping a mature pepper tree, and trimming several 50-foot redwoods back away from our house. Hector and his crew are, without question, the best arborists we've ever worked with. They arrive with all the professional equipment and a hardworking crew of seven who work efficiently, safely, and with obvious expertise. Despite the size of the project, everything was completed quickly and with great attention to detail. The trees look healthy, beautifully shaped, and professionally maintained. Just as impressive, they left our property spotless when they finished. To top it off, Hector's pricing has always been very fair and competitive. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable arborist who takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Hector Chan and Mr. Arbor Tree Care. We wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. read more

Owner Hector bailed me out of what I'd thought was a hopeless situation. He and his crew removed 4 hazardous, overgrown 50 foot trees from my backyard in 3&1/2 hours. As a widowed senior citizen in a money pinch Hector rescued me. Taking me from overwhelm & powerlessness to secure relief. As a bonus, my congestion from Spring pollen allergies (Silk Oak trees) is gone, I breathe deep and clearly now. Hector, you became my angel. Thank you is not enough! More like tears of heartfelt gratitude to you!!!! Hector's your tree man don't bother calling anyone else. read more

I have worked with Hector & Mr Arbor Tree Care on 3 tree projects on my property and they do a amazing Job! They are on time, work quickly and efficiently, they are reasonably priced and do a fantastic job cleaning up. Hector is incredibly easy to work with! I have had other local companies do tree work for me in the past but by far Mr Arbor Tree Care has been the best! read more

We had three large oak trees in the front of the houses (ours and our neighbors) that had not been trimmed in many years - resulting in major branches/leaves resting on our roofs and the trees appearing unkempt and out of control (which they were). Additionally, we had approximately 10 trees (mostly oaks but a few other species thrown in) inhabiting our very steep back hillside, with much undergrowth and smaller offshoot from the existing trees. I contacted Hector for a quote and he came out first thing the next day. He assessed the situation in a very short period of time and provided an estimate for both my neighbor's work and mine the very next day. Before I could get back to him I noticed two days later that his crew was doing work at one of my neighbor's homes 3 doors down. That was early afternoon. I texted him to say I wanted to move forward with our work. He texted back and said would I like to do the front trees that same afternoon as they were almost finished at the neighbors. I said that would be great. They came promptly and within a matter of a few hours they had completed all the cutting and chipping and had everything spotless in both yards. They came back today to undertake the challenging steep hillside and yard in back. Hector checked in with me to make sure they understood the work we wanted done and, with that, they spent the next 3 hours doing a fantastic job - better than we could have hoped for. Again, everything was picked up and the place spotless when they left. I would recommend Hector and team to anyone in need of the services Mr. Arbor provides. I am a perfectionist and he met and exceeded my expectations. read more

We were Extremely Pleased with Rodolfo and the Novato Tree Service. They were very professional and efficient; from getting an estimate to completing the service. They did everything very well!! We have palm trees - not everyone's specialty, but they came through with a great price and great service. They did the complete job, from cutting trees, to trimming, cleaning and removing all the debris. We are so happy to have found Rodolfo! Be sure to call for your next job! It will be worth it!! Highly recommended!! read more

Quick response and Hector is An actual consulting arborist so when I called he was at my house within the hour! He came out and gave his professional opinion on a pine tree. We are so appreciative of Hector being able to come and give us a consultation so quickly. He's awesome and knows what he's talking about. thank you so much read more

Mr Arbor Tree Care Arborists - Roots from the pine before the pavers got replaced - Tree Services Near Me

Do not look any where else- Hector and his crew are FIVE STAR through and through. This is the second time we have used their tree service and it just gets better and better- even in the rain! We needed some trimming, thinning and full tree removal and Hector's crew did an exceptional job. There were safe, fast, organized and when they were finished went ABOVE AND BEYOND anything I could even imagine to leave the yard looking brand new... not a spec left behind. Our family feels grateful and so appreciative. I just wish we had more trees - thanks for everything!!! *** forgot to mention VALUE- always very responsible. read more

We needed time-sensitive help for a very dead tree in our front yard. Within 1 hour of my call, Ruben was there to help us and address our concerns. Ruben was also responsive and transparent in his communication which I greatly value and appreciate. Definitely recommend Mr Arbor Tree and will be using them again in the future! read more

Hector and his team are not messing around!!! Arrived early, took care of business efficiently and safely and beautifully! They removed a very large tree, ground down two stumps, spread the chips instead of leaving them in a big pile for us to do, cleaned up the mess and charged a fair price!!! 10/10 would recommend and use them again in the future. Thank you Mr Arbor team read more

Highly recommended! Excellent experience, responsiveness, pricing. The team showed up to do the work exactly when scheduled. Did exactly what we agreed upon; but were flexible when I added some things at the last minute. The team completed the work exactly when they said they would be. Clean-up was excellent. Perfect - and I'm very hard to please. We had a six-story eucalyptus tree, several olive trees, and several other tress pruned by Mr. Arbor today. The outcome is amazing and I'm certain adds value to our home. Great. read more

I highly recommend Hector and his crew who did an incredible job trimming and shaping ten trees, including a California live oak that needed a lot of attention. Not only do they do top notch work, they do not overcharge. An excellent combination and probably the reason they are busy and have so many great reviews. Thank you Hector read more

Prompt, efficient, affordable and excellent communication. Hector replied to my inquiry quickly, scheduled a site inspection and gave us a written quote within hours to remove two camphor trees. His crew showed up precisely on time, were friendly and courteous and completed the job despite a steady rain that would, personally, disincline me to tree climbing. We will absolutely be using them in the future. read more

Hector Chan of Mr.Arbor Tree Care service lives up his reputation. He has just addressed multiple tree and foliage issues at our Fairfax hillside location. The difference of after vs. before is striking. Not only is the whole yard and the side of the house more open, it is now much, much more fire safe. His crew is simply amazing. I believe there were 10 people on the job for multiple hours. They scaled impossibly high trees and systematically removed limbs, etc. all working in excellent harmony and, importantly, taking care of one another. They removed several tons of wood. Their clean up was excellent. I give Hector 5 stars, without hesitation read more

I had a great experience with Hector and his team. They cutdown 5 trees and dump bamboo roots we pulled out last year. They came promptly, great price, fast, and went the extra mile cleaning up the weeds around the property. I would hire them again for any future projects. read more

When our Monterey Pine tree died we asked our neighbors for recommendations and Hector was mentioned by many people. He and his team arrived on time, worked very quickly and professionally to get the tree removed, and cleaned up after themselves. He was also very reasonable in his quote. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional arborist. https://youtu.be/dzXlx2wW86Q read more

Mr Arbor (Hector) was a great choice. They took down some really big eucalyptus trees on a steep hillside. They were competitively priced and did the work quickly and effectively. They even finished one day less than their estimate. They are also a very professional outfit. One of their workers mistakenly caused minor damage to a fence post when they were removing the huge trees. When I told the owner he came out and fixed the fence like new with no haggling. I know things can go a little sideways on huge jobs like this. I really respect a company that stands by their work. I would use Mr. Arbor again and recommend him to others. read more

They had done a tree removal for our neighbor, and we asked for an estimate, for pruning on a few older Magnolia and Poplar trees in the front of our property. Hector and his crew showed up on time were very professional and very knowledgeable. The trees are now pruned properly and will flower once again this year. It is nice to know someone that you can trust with your landscape. As a longtime landscape contractor for over 35 years, in Marin, I know when someone is a qualified professional. read more

Hector Chan responded quickly to my call and evaluated a massive tree root that had damaged my neighbor's yard. He was highly professional and assured me that, since the stump that produced the root had been ground out, no further action was needed. I do trust a person who passes up a chance to make money and instead gives good advice. I will always call Hector in the future. read more

Our Maple tree's roots were severely damaged by our landscaper and I was so worried about the tree that it was keeping me up at night.

He also gave us advice about the framing of our deck that will save us headaches in the future. We will definitely be calling Hector for all our tree service needs! read more

Hector and his team are the real deal! We had two huge oak trees trimmed that hadn't been maintained for 15 years. The crew came in and took care of business. They were meticulous with their decisions of what needed trimming and what didn't. Additionally they cut down two other trees on our property and returned a week later to grind out the stumps. If you are looking for an amazing company that's going to do things the right way for a fair price Mr. Arbor is the way to go read more

I chose Mr Arbor Tree Care (and Mr. Hector Chan, the owner) for several reasons. I wanted a tree specialist (an arborist). I wanted a company licensed, bonded and insured. I wanted fire safety, wind proofing (some of my trees are getting old), and beauty. I was enthusiastic about the plan Hector laid out. The price was excellent, too. This was a good sized project covering lots of types of trees and terrain. He and his well-staffed crew were able to get it all done in one day. When I returned to see the work done, I was blown away. He and his crew had delivered even more than I ever expected. The workers were polite and the place was left neat and clean. My property looked beautiful. I'd call this job a home run. I can wholeheartedly recommend his services. read more

I had several companies come out and offer me an estimate on a rather large ash tree removal from my front yard. First qualifying factors were that they needed to be licensed, bonded, insured. I went with Hector because not only did he meet the above criteria, he was professional, knowledgable and friendly. Best of all he came in with the most aggressive estimate and stuck to it. His crew was quick and careful and did an excellent clean up job. I highly recommend this outfit and would happily use their services again. read more

We cannot say enough about Hector and his crew. We had called to schedule an appointment for Hector to look at our overgrown trees and just a few days later he and his team were able to come to our house and work magic. During our appointment My wife had mentioned to him that one of the trees in the back we wanted to one day make into a tree swing. It brought tears to her eyes to come home and see that Hector had left a rope hung up into the tree for us! Our trees, our home, our yard, and our future looks very bright of because of Hector and his Crew. I must also mention we were astonished how quickly they were able to execute from the day we met to the day of the project- it was less than a week! And they left all the surrounding areas completely untouched. you'd have no idea they had even come aside from the amazing work they left behind!! we look forward to using them again for when our trees need trimming this fall! read more

We used this company and they did a fine job with the removal of 2 large oak trees. Unfortunately, they left an enormous amount of sawdust in the flower beds and they planted replacement trees using the sawdust instead of soil. We paid landscapers over $800 to replant trees and remove the sawdust. They filled their pickup truck bed to the brim as well as 2 large disposal cans. The equipment that Mr. Arbor used on the property leaked oil all over the pavers and Hector, the owner, has not cleaned it up in spite of 3 or 4 requests. Hector needs to follow through on his verbal agreements. At this point, the 1 Star review is warranted and I Do Not Recommend this company. read more

Happy to invite them out for an estimate, I took his wise suggestion to pay a daily rate to take care of our tree needs. He has a keen sense of what needs to be done and his fearless crew went about it. Very organized and clean - I got my estimates and had bids and we went with Mr Arbor! We are pleased we did. read more

Exceeded my expectations, and that doesn't happen often. Saved me with a tree on my roof, got it off in three hours. Hans Eide read more

Highly recommend Hector and his crew! They were by FAR the most reasonable quote (I luckily booked them within half a week of getting the quote) to trim/prune 2 HUGE oak trees and remove a tall pine and another tall flowery tree. They did a very solid days work without much break at all (all 6 in their crew) their equipment was more than adequate to help their efficiency in getting the job done. They were clean and courteous throughout- just thoroughly impressed with their work! I now have a clean yard and a lot more sunshine in my home. Thank you so much Hector! read more

We had a really tall black oak that had some kind of mite problem and was dripping sap all over our car and driveway. We wanted it out as soon as we could. I called Hector on a Tuesday morning. He and his crew were there on that Tuesday afternoon for an astoundingly reasonable price. The tree is now gone. The jobsite was left clean as a whistle. And it was fun to watch them work. Definitely a five-star experience. read more

The bid was fair and the owner and his workers arrived early this morning as scheduled. The four trees were trimmed with care and the entire area was cleaned up to where we could hardly tell five guys had been working in the yard. We were very satisfied with the job they did and will hire them again as needed. read more

After multiple quotes I asked my insurance agent for a referral. Without hesitation he insisted to call Hector at Mr. Arbor. Hector was great to work with. Their level of expertise and professional teamwork was incredible. They arrived on time and completed the project ahead of schedule. Hector, Rueben, and the entire team are true professionals. Professional, reliable, and a genuinely great team. read more

Mr. Arbor did a fantastic and most professional job in taking down and removing our 8 giant pine trees from our back yard! The work was difficult and in my estimation, very dangerous, but Hector and his quite competent crew, not only made it look easy, but they all did the work quickly and amazingly cheerful as well!! They were a joy to have on our property and I have recommended them to several neighbors and friends as well! I could not recommend them enough and they are reasonable as well!! read more

In the middle of pineapple experess/ bomb cyclone weather I start to panic about the 2 redwoods in my backyard. I called Hector Chan at about 7:45 in the morning. He came by an hour later to assess the trees and an hour after that they were at my house with about 7 guys. They thinned those trees in pouring rain and had it done in a few hours. The cost was totally reasonable and they picked up every scrap of tree debris. It was the best service experience I have had in as long as I can remember and I was able to sleep that night without anxiously worrying about trees crashing my house. I would HIGHLY recommend this service! read more

Hector immediately returned my call and arrived the next day for an estimate. We hired him on the spot to remove one tree + grind stump and they returned the next morning with a team of 5. Team was in and out in less than an hour. Impressive. Fast, efficient, clean and courteous. We live in the walnut grove of Novato and there are a number of sick walnut trees in our area. Hector suggested we deep fertilize and was confident we'll see improvements in 3 months, that was inexpensive and good news that they'll be fine with nourishment. And, we'll call him back in the winter when its time to prune trees. Very professional, we highly recommend Hector's team. Thank you. read more

SAME NEGATIVE REVIEW I POSTED TODAY ON GOOGLE Left the place a mess after removing one tree and trimming another Left concrete blocks on property. Left branches on roof. Did not complete trim job. Left one huge fourteen foot branch on property. Had to pay other craftsmen to clean up his mess. Called daily for ten days to have him come over - never returned a message. Completely ignore the call. I will be pursuing him in small claims court. Strongly recommend against people using him - told him I would post a negative review and he didn't seem to care. One further weird thing. He asked me to make out check not to him or his company but to a third party. Whats that all about. read more

We needed to have a huge pine tree removed from our back yard. Mr Arbor's tree care came and in one day , very efficiently removed the tree and hauled away all the wood and debris. As a team these guys are the best, I was amazed at watching how fast they worked and got it done, especially after other tree services told us it would take 2-5 days. I highly recommend them for any and all tree work! read more

Hector and his team are top notch. Incredibly friendly and careful crew, got 3 very large oaks trimmed and a maple tree removed in a half day. They left everything cleaner than they found it. And all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend Hector and his team! read more

Called multiple times with no response. Trying to reach Hector because he promised to fix our mailbox post and base which his crew damaged while working on neighbors (Los Olivos Rd) property last month. He answer first call and stated he would repair once I obtained new mount bracket - which they broke and did not inform us, but reattached box in uneven position. read more
