I had an amazing experience working with Nick, Levi, and the entire crew at Nate's Tree Services. They took the time to really listen to what I needed and even helped me brainstorm the best solutions for my yard. Their advice was thoughtful, practical, and never pushy. The whole team was friendly, punctual, and incredibly productive. They worked efficiently while still being careful and detail-oriented, and they checked in along the way to make sure everything matched what I wanted. If you're looking for a team that combines expertise with genuinely great customer service, I highly recommend Nate's Tree Services. I'll definitely be calling them again for future projects! read more

Tree Red Evidently these "professionals" contract out thru PG&E to trim trees in and around people's homes that are nearby powerlines and utility poles. Had the unfortunate pleasure of having to deal with these payasos not once, not twice, not three times--but FOUR times! It took them four visits before they finally did anything and not once did they ever bother to schedule a visit. They just cold call without leaving a door knocker or any kind of notification from either them or PG&E. Fortunately for them I'm a nice guy and in the construction trades, so I don't like to prevent people from doing their jobs, so I let them have access every time. And how do they thank me? By making a huge mess in my yard, hacking my trees, and leaving me to deal with their fallen branches. Never again. If these "arborists" come knocking tell them thanks but no thanks. read more

MICHELLE ROSE GRAY is the owner. We had an agreement, she did not uphold her end of the deal. Literally left a 100 tons of wood chips on my property, now have to deal with them myself and worried about them heating up and igniting a fire. Spoke with NATE himself as well, but no follow up response...so I guess a tarnished namesake is not a problem for him.

Two guys in a Nate's Tree service pickup showed up here last week - here to do PGE service clearing weeds under the power pole. They were here for over an hour - two guys, weedwackers, blowers. Took lots of photos, banged their weedeaters against the power pole leaving scrapes, left weed eater line pieces on the ground. Then sat in their truck for 15 minutes, using their cellphones with the engine running. Strangely enough, the same business was here yesterday with only one guy, who couldn't get his equipment to work - but was still here for over half an hour doing nothing. He said he'd be back the next morning but was a no show. My son does the same area in 15 minutes with one weedwacker. Someone's making money off PG&E - no wonder our rates keep going up. If they ever show up here again, I'm taking photos of everything they touch. read more

I have used Nate's Tree service for two projects. I find their pricing to be the best but even more than that they provide outstanding service. They have the latest equipment and their employees busted a move to get my projects done with my complete satisfaction on and above my expectations! Cody was top notch ,the team leader and Logan an employee that was second to none that he was determined to make everything perfect. Being a general building contractor I I recognize great workers.We live on lake Tulloch and they also gave me some fishing advice that was absolutely valued . I will absolutely use this team again! read more

Super nice and clean efficient. Had to call the office to say what a good team the guys were. Very pleased.

I'd give 0 stars if it'd let me! This company is a subcontractor for PG&E and they came to the house, nice young man had me sign a refusal for them to trim back a plant in my front yard because it was in a fenced off area not easily accessible. I SIGNED A PAPER STATING I DID NOT WANT THEM ON MY PROPERTY. I came home today to find out they ignored that paper and tore down my fence and hacked my plant to nothing and threw all the bits on my spring bulbs that were coming up. We trimmed the plant in question, back by 60% and they trespassed despite it all. Terrible. Disrespectful. I will take this as far as I need to because why else would I sign a paper telling them expressly not to come onto my property?! read more

Thank you, Nate's tree service. You did an amazing job on out tree maintenances. We have had 2 projects done from Nate's tree service and both have been reasonably priced and performed. They have staff skilled and ready for the job. They are also very punctual. I had the honor to meet Mr. Nate senior himself and he was very straight forward and detailed to the task at hand. Unfortunately, the budget was not in sink at the time for the third project. However, they offered a payment plan. If you are looking for an honest and more than capable tree service. I highly recommend this service. read more

Hired by PG&E to trim trees near power lines and they absolutely butchered our 100+ year-old redwood. They obliterated both the privacy and shade of our backyard and left the tree unbalanced presenting a risk to our home and family. The crew had no answers for us whatsoever. read more

Called to have multiple trees limbed that were threatening my house. First off, they were very convenient when it came to scheduling. They came out and limbed the first two trees without nearly dropping a limb in mine or my neighbor's yard by hand dropping each cut into a specific spot. Once the first two were done, I had a third tree that they were originally concerned about getting to because it might have to involve road closure. Not the case! They were able to back their big bucket truck down a tiny narrow road and get to that one too. Their pricing was great, the crew was extremely friendly, professional, and gave us advice about the future for the trees. Highly recommend. read more

We had Nate's Tree service come out to check on some trees for us. From the very beginning of the Initial call for an appointment for an estimate for them to come out to see what we needed. We experienced exceptional Customer Service. The ladies in the office were amazing to talk with and helped me understand the full process.. Polite, Knowledgeable, Friendly, on time. Step by step information from beginning to end. We are very happy with the work that was done I would definitely recommend Nate's Tree Service. read more

Great job!!! They worked so well together! Very polite and professional crew! The clean up was so impressive, it was like no tree work even took place "o) Highly recommend Nate's Tree Service! Thank you! read more

Nate's Tree Service DROPPED A TREE ON OUR DECK and destroyed it. We are now going through a nightmare to repair it. When we complained and said we didn't want to pay, they threatened to sue us. Its been an absolute nightmare working with them. The president of the company is extremely unreasonable. They cleared could not care about customer service any less. Absolutely would not recommend them based on what we went through! See photos. read more

This company has been contracted by PGE to go on property owners land and butcher beautiful trees with zero knowledge of what they're doing. These guys are handed a chainsaw and off they go, hacking large portions of 25-30 year old trees on personal property that they think may be too close to a power pole. We understand fire. We understand the fuel. There are a gazillion trees tangled in lines that are never touched while they come on personal property and destroy it. No notice, no warning, they don't even clean up the freakin mess. The homeowner is left with a severely damaged tree that will likely die and could topple. These people are ruthless. They cower and won't respond to property owners who have been violated by these practices. They just destroy your property and run. Claiming it's for fire protection. As the word goes Nate's Tree Service, Come on out to PML in Groveland and say it to our face. Stand next to a 30 year old tree you just destroyed and explain to the homeowner WHY each branch was considered fire hazard. The neighborhood is pissed off at you. GET OUT !!!! read more

We had a leaning tree approximately 85-100ft that if in the right conditions, (snow, heavy rain, wind) could come down and damage our neighbor's home, or ours. Todd @ Nate's came out, inspected and gave us an estimate. They were booked up, but gave us a date, and even moved us up in their schedule when they had an earlier opening. Josh and his helper were on time, no accidents, and cleaned up afterward. They also cut the wood in lengths that we can split and burn next winter. This is the first time in a long while for us that a service provider has actually kept their word and gave us excellent service! For us, we would use Nate's again! R&S Kruger Arnold read more

Jacob and his crew were great!! Very professional. The tree climber, Jacob, went up 3 Trees of Heaven and took them down piece by piece. This is the second time that we have used Nate's Tree Service and we couldn't be happier. read more

Excellent work. The team came early, did exactly what we asked them to do. Clean up was great. These gentlemen were very professional, polite and worked together to get the job completed in a very short time. Start to finish in two hours.

I would not recommend Nate's Tree service. They were hired by PG&E to cut down and trim some trees in our yard. We were aware that the work was being done, but were surprised by the methods they used to cut the trees down and the mess they left in our yard and neighborhood street for several weeks after the job. Instead of cutting down our large pine trees in sections, they dropped 50' lengths, using two healthy trees to guide them down (which damaged the healthy trees). I called Nate's customer service and they mentioned that they were super busy and had been sub-contacting work due to all the PG&E jobs. They weren't sure who was actually doing the work on our property. They also mentioned that they typically did rush jobs like this because they were busy. When I mentioned the damage and that I wanted their arborist to inspect the damage, the rep said they didn't have an certified arborist in their staff (seriously?) and they would need to call someone from Sacramento (what???). After some convincing, she said she would send someone from their crew out to take a look. Nate Jr. came out later that afternoon and inspected the job, but didn't seem to apologetic. He tried to convince me that the trees they damaged would callous over and should be cut down anyways. I found this recommendation hard to believe because I had an arborist inspect all the trees in our yard the month prior and he said these particular trees were happy and healthy. Nate Jr. did offer to have my septic inspected and send out a certified arborist to look at the damage on their dime. I called Nate's office and left several messages to set up these inspections, and have never heard back. I've had a lot of tree work done at multiple properties I've owned, and never seen such a rushed, botch job like this. It was nice to have the owner come out promptly after I called, however, their overall response was pretty lame and felt like pure lip service. read more

Dishonest business. Fidel of Nate's Tree Service (559) 563-1953 said PG&E has assigned them to remove my dried tree as it's close to street wire lines. He added that large cut logs of the tree would be removed by another crew of Nate's tree in 2 weeks. The later part never happened. He stopped replying to me. Victoria of PG&E vegetation department (415) 416-76xx said Nate's Tree has not been honest, as PG&E does not remove logs of cut tree. So why PG&E contracts with a dishonest company ?! read more

Nate's Tree Service staff did an excellent job cutting down a tree and topping two other trees today. They were easy to work, cleaned up afterwards.They arrived on time and worked efficiently together to get the job done in a timely fashion. We highly recommend them! Thank you for a job well done!

Nate's Tree Service just finished up a huge job for us & I can't say enough about them! Colton, Cody & Josh were truly amazing! They were friendly, informative, respectful, considerate, hardworking and I saw them all work as a true team! They got this down, it's like second nature to them! Thank you to Nate's Tree service for not only an outstanding job but an incredibly reasonable rate (the day after we signed the contract we received a 10% off flyer in the mail. I called the office and Sumet honored it without hesitation!) We are so happy to have this work done and are extremely happy with a job well done! Thank you!!! read more

I was extremely happy regarding the tree removal at our property in Long Barn. Nate's quote was very competitive and the work you did was outstanding. This was a job that I was extremely nervous about as the trees were growing in the middle of our deck. Everything outlined in the contract was completed and the clean-up was fantastic. It is so rare these days that a company lives up to my expectations, but Nate's did just that. read more

Nate's tree service showed up at our house (they were spotted on security camera) but ,they hadn't been called by us. Apparently they had gone to the wrong address. They marked several trees with spray paint indicating which were to be either trimmed or cut down. After calling the main office we were able to determine they had made a mistake. I requested that someone come back and paint over all the markings on the trees.I was assured that someone would do that. About a week later I called again saying the trees still had spray paint on them and that no one had come to fix the damage. Again, another promise to send someone out. So far nothing has been done. read more

Nate and his team were very professional, and communicated well. We were very happy with the tree they removed and would highly recommend them. read more

I wouldn't recommend Nate's Tree Service at all and I will be sure to tell anyone who asks my opinion the same. They do not honor their word and the owner would not return my call after calling twice and leaving a message with Customer Service. After reading other reviews I see that I'm not the only one that isn't happy with Nate's Tree Service. If you use this company I would recommend you get everything in writing including clean up of your property when they are done. read more

What a great job Nate's crew did. They were on time, knowledgeable and very professional. I had a number of very old and tall oak trees that needed shaping and mistletoe removal. They trimmed the trees, made suggestions about fire safety and cleaned the work areas after they were done. I highly recommend this tree care service. I will certainly use them again.

Nates holds the contract to cut trees for PG&E. They entered our property without permission, cut and removed only the most valuable trees, and left a mess. When we contacted them about stealing our trees, they denied they were ever there. We are currently pursuing legal/regulatory actions against Nates. DO NOT USE this DISHONEST company! read more

The crew did a great job and left my yard which had 2 big oaks down in it line nothing had happened. The crew works like a well oiled machine. Jacob, the foreman and climber was especially professional and took every precaution to be safe and expedient to make sure the job was done just as Troy had promised in his bid. You could not ask for a better guy to work with than Troy. read more

Always does great work! Great prompt customer service, skilled technicians. Very knowledgeable about local trees and problems with those species. So happy they were awarded the PG&E contract. Makes me feel safer during fire season. read more

Loved that they came out and cleaned up the dead tree limbs for me. They cut and stacked the wood very nicely in my yard as well for my firewood. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you so much! read more

Nate's Tree Service, owned by Nathan Gray, is as good as it gets! We have used this service several times to remove our beetle-killed pines and cedars (over 300 trees) and we are immensely impressed with the consistent quality of service that we have received. Nate's integrity, fairness and work ethic are reflected in his crew and the quality of work that they do. He has well-maintained equipment to use for every aspect of the job. His prices are fair, and he never finishes the job until his customers are completely satisfied. Would we use Nate's Tree Service again? You bet!! Dan and Linda Mohn, Twain Harte, CA read more

These guys were great! I called right at 7am when a tree was discovered blocking my drive. Nate Jr. was at my house with an estimate and helping hand less than 20 minutes later. When root rot was discovered in 3 of my trees, the crew took them down that day at a very reasonable price. To recap: great service, reasonable prices, and knowledgeable and efficient team. read more

There were some misunderstandings which I reported earlier. The company contacted me and took corrective action. This is laudable in this industry. Most tree services would have shrugged off my complaint. Good job! read more

After going back and forth for weeks trying to get another provider out to my cabin in Arnold to remove a tree that had died, I finally found Nate's Tree Service. Nate quickly returned my call and scheduled the tree removal. The team did a great job taking the tree down and cutting it into rounds that I can later chop. The price was also a fair deal less than the other provider too! I'll definitely be using Nate's Tree Service in the future whenever I need to have tree work completed. read more

Some time ago, I recommended Nates to an older friend of mine. While they were doing the tree work, my friends shed was damaged. While Nate accepted responsibility for the damages, three months later the repairs had not even begun. Out of my guilt for recommending Nates for the job, I fixed the shed myself and presented a bill (less than $100) to Nates. Much time has gone by and I still have yet to be repaid for a mistake that he admitted was their fault. When I called the office for reimbursement, I was treated like I was the one who had done something wrong. I have not recommended Nates since. read more

My wife and I own a cabin in the Cold Springs subdivision. On 9/30/2021 I went there and found Nate's Tree Service doing work on our neighbor's property. They trespassed on our property to gain access to the neighbor's. They also left a mess on our property and were driving heavy equipment on our property. When I confronted them, and asked who gave them permission to tear up our property and trespass, they said they were working for PG&E and could do so. I said no. The easement allows them access to the property they working on, not adjoining properties. I advised they need to clean up our property or I call the Sheriff's office and file trespassing charges, and we litigate. After they called their boss, they admitted they were wrong and agreed to clean up the yard. They did clean it up, but because of their scorched earth policies, our property will not be the same. They killed several small fir trees. I'm sure if I hadn't shown up, they would have left the property a mess. I got the feeling this is their normal standard operating procedures, and I wanted reassurance they would not do this again. I called their office and the receptionist promised to have someone call me by 10/4/2021, and of course I have not heard from anyone. PG&E is equally culpable. I have reached out to their legal department. If you see Nate's working by your home, be very careful..... read more

Nate's Tree Service rocks!! I literally went to work in the morning and came back to a neat, clean yard free of bark beetle infected trees. The office staff was friendly and professional and the tree removal service was prompt. I was expecting a big mess in the yard from the trees coming down, but Nate's cleaned up perfectly!

I live in Forest Meadows and so there is always the HOA issue (permission, permit) to go through when doing anything on your home. When we asked for a bid from Nate's, they took care of everything. Being the preferred service for Forest Meadows helped, but I got the bid quickly, once accepted, the service was set and carried out quickly and cleanly. I don't think I would get this from anyone else - and I manage our companies properties in the Bay Area. I would recommend Nate's Tree Service to anyone. read more
