Looking back, I must update this. The main owner, excellent, the men on the ground; very cool and interesting. The main muscle man, is what this update is about. So they did a great job. I asked about three huge piles of chipped wood, the level of fire hazard. I was told, oh it is completely safe, so says cal fire. I go, really? He, again uses that magic word, Cal fire, yes they say it is safe. I think to myself, that makes no sense, did not realize when it got chipped it turned into glass or metal. Then I had some other loggers come around and they said that pile can combust, and so I got on the net and put in a search engine, "Wood Chips, wildfires and Cal fire chiefs." Well, the result was, they do not recommend wood chips around the house, and pages of Fire chiefs wondering why people put flammable stuff like wood chips about their places, well, here is the answer, men like the one who advised me, thinking I was a idiot, and I was at the moment, me, who am I, these are loggers they know, so I went according to what I was told until I found out otherwise. Now, although I am bed ridden for 30 years and no body tone, I am out at 7 am before the heat wave comes upon my head, and digging out these huge wood piles under a lie. I lost my brain when I heard him say it was perfectly safe to put it all about my investment to lose it. Here is a simple simpleton search and wow, not so fire proof. But aside from that fib, they did excellent work, and to say otherwise would be lying. I as I may have said in my original review, I managed political volunteers for over 50 years, so know the level of work and abilities, these folks were hard workers, not sitting about gossiping or messing about, the crew is tight and not lazy and nice all the way around, I just wished I had been told the truth or maybe he did not get the memo from all fire departments and cal fire that wood chips are flammable. I force myself to dig out these huge mountains of chips I could have had taken to the dump as waste; as it is tan oak contaminated and must be segregated into trash and not compost materials. Okay I am out shuddering on the wood chip pile next on the list of things to do this AM.

We are extremely happy with the beautiful tree trimming work John and the team did on our huge & overgrown oak trees. They made our whole yard look so much better than we ever could have expected and did it all so efficiently. They removed two other oaks and gave us honest advice about the priorities of some trees over others. Never once did we feel pressured, and John gave us a great education on signs of poor health of our local trees. A++ for these guys, we will having them back again for future jobs without question. read more

Pacific Mountain Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me - Boulder Creek, California

The folks at Pacific Mountain Tree Service are the best! I notice them working down the street and ask if they could give me a bid on removing a fruitless mulberry tree that was taking over the yard. Not only did they give me a reasonable bid, when they finished down the street, they came to my place and removed that overgrown behemoth! In just a few hours, the tree was gone, the trunk was ground, and I was super happy. It's six months later, and there's no hint of that mulberry coming back. I'll call Pacific Mountain Tree Service anytime I need tree services! read more

I am struggling to express my gratitude to the Pacific Mountain Tree Service team for their outstanding work! Specifically, I want to thank "Keith" and the "other two gentlemen" who performed a fantastic job cutting down two trees to make way for a driveway. I also want to give a special shout-out and thank you to "John" who initially made this all happen - after our initial meeting that included reasonable project pricing - supported by his heartfelt understanding, perceptive listening skills, superb professionalism, and empathetic kindness in the wake of my complete home loss due to the CZU August Lightning Complex fire. I highly recommend Pacific Mountain Tree Service! read more

Kept in contact and showed up when arranged during a very busy (scary) time and took care of a rogue limb. John was professional, understanding, kind, and informative. read more

Rescued my cat! After my cat was stuck up a tree for four days I called animal control and they referred me to Keith. I called him and he was super nice. He came out the next day at 9 AM. He's rescued a few cats in his time and seemed confident. He strapped on his climbing gear and went up and got my kitty! He only charged me $50 when he could have gouged a desperate pet owner. Thank you Keith for rescuing my kitty! Our HOA uses Lewis and they said "no" to cat rescue. Maybe I can get them to switch. read more

We just had them come out last week for 2 days. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. They did an excellent job, removed a bunch of trees and cleaned up more. They were polite, respectful of my property and did more than what I was expecting. The entire time they were here they were working. I just love the view I have now. I have already called for them to come back next month and plan to have them come yearly. Great company. read more

We've used a number of tree companies in our area and, while we really liked them all, we went with Pacific Mountain for three reasons: their reputation, the fact that they're licensed and insured and the fact that they're very responsive. We couldn't have been more pleased with the job they did for us. They even hand-trimmed our large oak trees and now the trees are open, airy and look beautiful. Their crew is very careful around other plants and they clean up everything when they're done. We highly recommend Pacific Mountain!! read more

See all

Solid work, responsive and fair. No complaints, did what they said they would do.

They have done tree work for me several times and always did a good job. Friendly, honest and dependable.

Rescued my cat, too! Keith is calm & sensible & did the job. He has nine cats of his own. Is there any greater recommendation?

I had tall trees overhanging both my garage and my neighbors house --the type of stuff you could rope a tire swing to! What can I say? They trimmed and removed the offending trees quickly and safely. They maintained good communication throughout the process and even showed up on time. John, Keith and crew were very professional from they day they quoted the job all the way until the work was completed. read more

I have had Keith & his crew out to my property at least a half-dozen times over the years. Whether the job was big or small, they show up with the right size crew & equipment, do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it, and are careful to protect your property. What more could one ask for? read more

On time, quality work excellent communication throughout the 2 days they spent on our property in Scotts Valley. Large oak trees needed a lot of clean up. There is a talent to trimming oaks while keeping their majestic look. These guys know how. They also left the property clean when they finished. I highly recommend this company read more

I had John and his crew remove several trees and troublesome bushes from my property a short while ago. He was very responsive and provided me with an accurate estimate before the work started. Unfortunately, due to some construction that was being done at the time of the initial removal, a second visit was necessary and I opted to pay ahead of time (usually not a wise move, I know). Thankfully there were absolutely no issues scheduling the second visit and John showed up exactly when promised and did a great job yet again. If you need any tree work done, I highly recommend these guys, they do great work and are a pleasure to deal with. read more

I can't believe this is the first review for this company. These guys are great. They did an amazing job of trimming several trees, all in and amongst sensitive flowers and plants below.

What great work Keith and his crew do. Fast, competent, with an eye for aesthetics. Very fair price. Careful not to damage other plants or structures. They will always be our first call for future tree trimming or removal. read more
