Richard is a nice person, charges fairly, and knows his trees. He doesn't cut as much as I would, but his way of doing it always seems to be in the best interest of the tree. A rewarding and pleasant experience. read more

Stone Tree trimmed multiple large trees on our property. They were very professional, and did high quality work. They left with everything cleaned up and beautiful. I highly recommend Stone Tree. read more

Tree trimming was good enough, but am very disappointed how they left things. Lots of small branches on the lawn but the biggest disappoinment is they left our roof full of debris. I would think that when you have someone walking around on the roof to complete the job it would include cleaning off the roof. read more

Very timely response and the price quoted was very fair! I'm extremely happy with the work that was done, would gladly call them again for other projects. Thank you!!! read more

Richard and his crew were kind, efficient and clean. The price was right too. I will not hesitate to call Stone Tree again for any future need. read more

A couple weeks ago I had Richard come out to give me a quote on shaping and thinning out our small olive tree. I went with him even though his price was on the high side and we scheduled a date. The day of I texted 10 minutes after he said he would arrive to make sure he was coming. He said sorry but his jobs were running long and he wouldn't be able to make it out. Seriously? No suggestion to reschedule or anything in his text. People have lives. We can't block out a date and time and then not have you show up. Incredibly unprofessional. I wouldn't use this company if you paid me. read more

Very responsive did great work great cleanup would absolutely recommend. They also gave great tips on maintenance of the trees we have and watering patterns. read more

I needed a palm tree and 2 citrus trees cleaned and shaped. I got estimates from 3 companies. Stone Tree not only had the best price, but Richard Stone gave me good advice and even explained I didn't need to do anything to another tree I thought needed service (thereby saving me money). I got the estimate quickly. The work was scheduled. Richard and his team showed up when they said they would. The teamed worked well together. I observed them taking safety precautions, which was appreciated. They did a great job cleaning, pruning and shaping the trees. They cleaned up and hauled away all of the debris. I am very satisfied with this company and will use them again in the future. read more

Richard Stone and his crew did a great job pruning and shaping my trees. They also left my property clean. Richard is a certified arborist who knows the needs of trees and only recommends work that is beneficial for the tree. His pricing is competitive. read more

Richard is very knowledgable and his crew are experienced and nice. We were in a bind and needed some big stuff trimmed. Quoted on Friday and did the work on a Monday. My normal tree company completely blew me off and had scheduled a time for a quote and never showed up. Guess who is my new tree company!? Yep...Stone Tree! read more

In response to Mr. Stone's comment: I know what was said and what was not said at our initial meeting and it was not as you stated. Had you told me what you would actually do to the tree, I would not have agreed to it. I have not changed my opinion, especially after viewing it from my neighbor's yard. The tree is unbalanced and mutilated. I am attaching a photo to illustrate my point. read more

Richard and his crew did a great job removing my dying Maple tree. They we're on time, very professional, respectful of my property and left no mess. My yard looks so much better now. I have been a client for many years and won't use any other tree service. read more

We'd been needing some trees trimmed on our property for a couple years now, and after we saw what a great job they did at a neighbors house we decided to give Richard a call. Right off the bat, he was responsive and was able to come out for a quote within a week which was more than reasonable. As a certified arborist, he and his crew really know what they're doing and have a great eye for how a tree should be trimmed and shaped. There are so many fly-by-night hack jobs out there that have no idea what they're doing and leave trees looking branchless and sparse, but Richard and his crew aren't one of them. They selectively trimmed our trees to thin them while maintaining their shape and natural beauty. They also cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done so you couldn't even tell they were there. Would recommend Stone Tree to anyone with trees needing attention, you won't be disappointed! read more

I've had Stone Tree help me with two projects. Both times he gave me excellent and accurate advice which resulted in nothing for him. My beloved tree just wasn't savable. He's an excellent businessman, a helpful professional, and I really have appreciated his advise. My oak tree was not savable but he didn't just try to make a buck off of me, and he gave me excellent advice about what trees to replace it with. We need more people like Richard. read more

Richard was quick to respond and came over to give me great information about my beautiful California Coastal Redwoods. Tree service companies kept stopping by saying they could trim them for me. He told me "No, you don't need to do that unless it's for esthetics or home or power line issues. Thank you!! We have a couple trees that need removal with a backyard project we're starting next year and Stone Tree will be the company I call. read more

Team was very courteous, cleaned up after themselves and seemed to take a lot of care. One person was new and I was listening to someone explain to him all the things he was doing and why and it seemed very well thought out. Would hire them again. read more

Stone Tree just did a great job thinning two large trees at my house. Richard is a pleasure to work with and the crew is very friendly, professional, and they do really nice job cleaning up when they're done. Honestly, today they left it in much better condition than when they arrived considering the mess the storm and my pets left! (Thank you!!!) They've done work at my house a few times and it's always a great experience. I highly recommend them! read more

Richard Stone responded the same day we submitted the request and scheduled a walk through the next day when he suggested options for pruning several trees, removing dead ones and presented an estimate. We accepted and he said he would let us known in a few days when he could do the work. Crew appeared at 8 am as scheduled and in two hours they finished trimming, removing branches and cleaning up all the debris including leaves which had been there before they started! read more

Extremely responsive, very good price (tree trimming), and did a wonderful job on 7/13/23.

Richard and his team were fantastic and efficient! I really appreciated his guidance about our sycamore tree that needed some clean up around some power lines in front of our home. He is super knowledgeable and was also able to tell us what trees we had on our property, and how to properly take care of them throughout the years. We will definitely be sure to use Stone Tree again for any future tree trimmings needed! Thanks again, Richard! read more

I called Richard for a consultation for my trees. The trees had been improperly trimmed and several were stressed. Richard told me how to save the trees. He also identified each tree in my yard for me and which were "stringers". Especially happy he advised me on how to care for my favorite Japanese Maple. Next time I need an arborist and tree service, Richard will be my first call. read more

As a household with very little tree knowledge, we so much appreciate the services of someone like Richard. He is knowledgeable, courteous, and highly professional, all while explaining things in lay language. On top of all that, he is also very fair and reasonable with pricing. His team members work together effectively and efficiently... much like watching your favorite winning sports team. Richard has long been at the top of the list of local arborists by one university horticulture specialist, and little wonder that he is. It is hard to imagine someone better for tree needs. read more

On time. Trimmed as promised. Cleaned and left nothing behind. A rare business acumen in todays world of empty promises and lousy workmanship. I've tried them all. These guys are fantastic!! read more

Richard recently cut two tall pines, two old mulberry trees and a couple of smaller trees for us in Walnut Creek. He showed up exactly on time and was done with everything including clean up by 3pm. You could barely tell tell that all this work was done. He left our yard cleaner than it was when he got there. H was responsive and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Richard and his crew for any tree removal or pruning work. We will definitely call him again when we need more work done. read more

I've used this company before and not only do they do an excellent and expert job, they are affordable, on time and do amazing clean-up. Very impressed. I'd use them again and recommend them to my friends. Keep your trees healthy,. read more

We were notified by code enforcement that we had a week to do something with a tree in our front yard. I contacted Stone Tree and Richard came out the next day to assess the tree. He immediately knew what kind of tree it was and how to trim it properly so that it kept its shape and health. He and his team were easy to schedule, affordable and did beautiful work. We were very happy and would hire them again!! read more

They did a great job pruning and trimming my trees. I appreciate their knowledge and expertise! They were competitively priced too!

Throughout the years my husband and I have been 100% satisfied with the work Richard and his team provide. Most recently they removed a huge pecan tree from our side yard. Our neighbor expressed a concern over her rose bushes that were just starting to bloom. (They were located directly under the pecan tree.) Richard's team took every precaution to ensure that her rose garden remained unharmed. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result. Also, I have received many compliments on our Zelcova tree. I owe this to the great trim job Richard and team have provided. read more

Extremely happy with the high quality work executed by Stone Tree. I secured bids from five companies after researching reviews from multiple sources and state contractor status. Richard provided detailed insights and recommendations as we walked the project site and he developed the quote. His cost was aligned with two other companies at the lower end, while two large companies provide quotes over $2K higher. Based on Richard's explanation and plan for the work, competitive price, and being able to observe his work on a neighbor's project, I selected Stone Tree. They arrived as scheduled and removed two large trees, thinned two large trees, removed two small trees and trimmed/shaped a group of trees lining the yard. The work was done as agreed, quality execution across all elements of the job with a very thorough clean-up afterwards. The project took about 4 hours and Richard led all aspects of the work on-site which was appreciated. I highly recommend Stone Tree for all your tree service needs. read more

We have been working with Richard for years and he is the best. Reliable, professional, knowledgeable and reasonable. Highly recommended for all your tree needs. read more

I had a horrible experience with Stone Tree. He was supposed to come out for crown thinning a live oak. He did come out. But only spent about an hour and half trimming less then a 1/4 of the tree. When I asked why he was cutting work short he said that was all he planned to do although on the form I signed it says crown thinning and we had previously talked about taking 1/3 out the tree. I also said I wanted the tree to look good. He said he was "saving me money" and "I wouldn't notice if he trimmed any more." Not completing the job didn't save me any money. I'm unsure how he thinks he knows what I may or may notice. What I did notice is he really didn't want to do the job. If that was the case he should had said so. read more

Stone Tree trimmed a Siberian elm that had a branch that snapped during a wind storm. They also trimmed some walnut trees off my roof. I had the work performed in March and was really grateful they honored a quote from August. The workers were timely, professional, and left my yard extremely tidy. I felt confident that the tree was trimmed in a way that would keep it most healthy long-term. read more

As mentioned in other reviews, Richard was quick to respond to an estimate request.  He gave us an estimate on the spot.  We actually dropped the ball and did not get back to him until two weeks after the bid, but when we did he was able to complete the job very quickly.  His team was courteous and efficient.   We highly recommend Stone Tree. read more

Richard is extremely knowledgeable and did a wonderful job taking care of our beautiful heritage oak tree and saving it from having to be cut down. Professional and honest! Would not recommend anyone else but Stone Tree! read more

I have been doing business with Stone Tree for several years. When I first started with them it was customary for me to get three bids from competing firms. After a few years I just gave up this practice. It was a waste of time. Stone Tree always came in at the lowest price or just a few dollars more. I knew I could depend on Stone Tree to provide me with superior service and value for the work they performed. Stone Tree has modern equipment, a boom truck and a chipper. The work was done on schedule and the clean up made the work area cleaner then prior to their start. Highly recommend. read more

Stone Tree Service did a fantastic job on our very large front trees. He came with a total of 6 guys and they worked on both trees at the same time and they turned out great! They cleaned up everything on the ground and sidewalks as well and hauled away the trimmings. Definitely recommend Richard and his crew, very experienced too. Fair pricing as well. read more

Richard and his crew came out and trimmed two large trees in my front yard. They did a great job from beginning to end. Richard is onsite the whole time and help run the crew. Which is nice because I had another tree trimmer come out a few years ago and that was not the case. Richard runs professional crew with best equipment. They were safe used proper safety equipment and clean everything up before they left. If at all possible I recommend being onsite at least towards end of the job to make sure they don't miss anything you want trimmed. read more
