Fine Tree Care,

Sebastopol, CA 95472

"We have never had to hire a tree trimming service. New to the area, our property was somewhat overdue for a proper tree management plan. We contacted several local companies, and were not very impressed. Until we received a call back from Jeff, the owner of Fine Tree Care, in Sebastopol. He personally met us at our home, and educated us on their business practices and environmental management objectives. Since my wife and I were at odds with what we wanted to achieve on our property, Jeff actually guided us on what was needed to accomplish what we both desired. Jeff really went above and beyond by meeting us several times for hours, explaining the process he recommended for our properties tree management plan. He even toured us through a larger project that his company recently completed nearby to show the different types of tree management techniques that were used. Despite the severe rainy weather conditions during the week of our project, Jeff’s team was properly prepared to handle it all. Every morning consisted of a full team briefing, and a thorough walk through. All of the staff displayed excellent knowledge and skill, evidence of Jeff’s hiring practices and his training methods. Large commercial equipment were used in areas to mitigate the impacts of possible damage to the surrounding environment and our home/garage structures. Following the multi-day project, it was evident that they took extra care to keep our property looking as though they had not recently been there. This was all accomplished only several days before the Christmas holiday, with us having to prepare for visitors staying at our home. Our property is now much improved in all areas that we set out to accomplish. Keep in mind, that this was not a “slash and dash” style of tree trimming. Fine tree Care truly are professionals in providing proper tree management services, using arborist methods, and valuing the surrounding natural landscape. On top of all that, our proposal bid came in slightly higher at completion of the project. However, Jeff’s office staff assured me that our financial responsibility was only the bid, not any overages that may have occurred. This is somewhat remarkable of any business these days. We now have a future property plan with Fine Tree Care to properly manage and maintain our surrounding forest with nature in mind. We highly recommend Fine Tree Care for your property needs."

"Our property is located in a redwood forest in Occidental, and requires ongoing attention to keep it safe and healthy. Jeff and his amazing, hard working crew have serviced our ~1.6 acres, a mix of young and old (and one extremely old growth tree), several times over the past decade that we’ve owned it. They were the first company we hired when we started catching up on what had been long-overdue canopy and undergrowth pruning, thinning and maintenance. We were simply gobsmacked by the equipment and manpower Jeff brought to our job (two bucket trucks, at least a dozen experienced crew members, an enormous chipper, and additional auxiliary trucks and tools, everything appearing well-maintained and of modern design) and the sheer amount of work completed - safely, efficiently, and exactly according to the agreed-upon plan we had discussed in the pre-work-day planning visit - on that first day. We were thrilled with the results - our structures and walkways were clean and tidy, with the forest appearing vibrant and healthy, aesthetics preserved, with the canopy lifted off the roof to keep structures safe but still nestling the property in a natural setting. We’ve never had reason to look for a different tree service company since that day, and we’ve continued to use Fine Tree Care to keep our trees healthy and our property safe. Jeff’s licensed (and would never do ANY work that is not permitted or is outside his licensed services), his knowledge of the redwood forests of West Sonoma County is deep, studied and sensitive to the broader ecosystem, and he truly cares about the health of these forests that we inhabit and that provide Jeff and his employees a livelihood. He never compromises on safety - I have listened to the safety briefing he holds with his crew at the beginning of every work day on our property and he clearly cares about not only our property and well-being but that of his employees. I recommend him to my neighbors without reservation."

"Fine Tree Care provides all you could ask for this type of service. Jeff came to our property, outlined his suggestions and the work was performed promptly and efficiently. The clean up was complete and quick. Importantly, when walking our property, Jeff pointed out work that we should consider in the future, but instead of trying to schedule the work, he suggested we consider what he said for the future. This is the third tree company I have dealt with over the years, but when we need tree work they are the only company I will consider and call in the future."

"Jeff and his crew just finished a major and much overdue clearing of our 2 acres in Sebastopol. A lot of the initial motivation was to improve fire safety, but the aesthetic impact is really stunning. With the cutting of just a few trees and lots of limbs, the beauty of each remaining tree is now visible for our appreciation. We also have our view of the surrounding hills restored after many years!! The entire process was done with enormous sensitivity and professionalism. I wish I had before and after pictures to show the huge positive impact on our property. I have no hesitation recommending Fine Tree Care and they are now our go-to tree care company. Judith Klinman"
