Efrain & crew took what was a jungle (my overgrown yard) and made it look like a well managed park. They pruned our oaks, tackled the massive growth of Scotch broom, took care of the weeds, chipped old logs, and gave me back my views. The crew is extremely hard working. This is the third time I've hired them and will again!

Efrain and his crew did a fantastic job of removing a massive Black Walnut tree from my backyard. They were thoughtful about keeping the rest of the yard and structures safe and they cleaned up afterward and made everything like new. I'm grateful for their expertise and the pleasant experience of working with Efrain .......Dave from Menlo Park

Efrain and his crew did a fabulous job prunning 2 very tall cedar trees and a large oak in my backyard with overhanging limbs in several neighboring yards. They were prompt, careful and very skilled at the work and did an excellent job cleaning up after the work was completed. I'd highly recommend them, and will definitely use them in the future.

Efrain Plascencia and his crew from City Arborist did a superb and careful trimming and dead wood removal from one of my coastal redwoods. This tree had been topped in a storm in the 1930s and wasn't properly cared for in the 90 years following that, leading it to be overgrown and a rats nest of dead branches and compensatory growth. After a recent storm left a big branch hanging and waiting to fall on someone, we knew it was time to get some help. The crew carefully listened to our needs, inspected the tree, and got to work. The job was well done, the crew was very nice and professional, cleaned up afterwards, and communicated superbly throughout. As others have commented, the price was fair as well and matched the amount and quality of work done. Thank you!

This crew removed ten trees for me as well as grinding the stumps. Very efficient and hard working group. They also trimmed three fairly overgrown trees to a manageable and nice shape. I was pleased with the outcome.

Phew! So glad I called City Arborist!
I hired 2 guys and a chainsaw because I thought I was being budget friendly. I thought wrong. I darn near killed the tree. I then had to call City Arborist and explain my mistake.... They didn't laugh at me, they didn't chide me for being dumb... instead they said "No problem, we'll be right out." There's been wind and storms and they are super busy but made time for me anyway. A skilled arborist arrived at my house, climbed the tree like a monkey in a few seconds and jumped down with a verdict. The tree can be saved! I had some other questions and he answered all my questions. He didn't hand me a bill either! He said to call if I have concerns. I don't because I'm just going to call them from now on. I no longer have to care about trees because they will do it. They returned and took care of my whole yard. Their men are kind, well-mannered, skilled and cleaned up after. It looks beautiful! I hadn't realized the difference between an arborist cut and a landscaper cut... I get it now. Lovely work! I won't call 2 guys and chainsaw again. Thank you CA - nice job!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - Jonah P.Alviso, CA2172May 19, 2021
Henry is passionate about trees. He can answer any questions and help to suggest designs. Want privacy screening to block a view? Care about tree health? Want to keep branches from dropping on your roof? Henry can advise on what's needed.
His crew of 3 is great. They pruned and thinned four beautiful old trees on my property in about 1 day of work using only hand saws and pruners. I barely knew that they were there. They shredded the branches and left me a nice pile of clean mulch.
The total cost was very fair.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Paul D.Burlingame, CA04Nov 10, 2022
A tree went down during a storm and landed partially on our house. I couldn't reach the tree service I normally used so I called City Arborist out of the blue. They were already working on two emergency trees that fell, but Efrain showed up an hour later to look at our emergency. My arborist called me back soon after so I wasn't able to use City Arborist, but Efrain was prompt, thoughtful in his assessment of our problem when his hands were already full of work. Good indicator.

We would definitely use this service again and recommend to family. City Arborist was efficient, careful, friendly and reliable. We especially appreciated how well the team communicated with us. It was a big job removing overhanging and dangerous limbs as well as removing, topping and pruning about a dozen oak trees.

Great job on our trees both front and backyard. We are very satisfied
Fertilizer application and tree trimming. Very thoughtful approach to the tree trimming. Much more sunlight comes into our yard which will benefit our landscape and fruit trees
Punctual, courteous, and good communication as the job progressed. Always cleaned up after the day's work completed. Highly recommendHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
