9 months agoAlas, I don't have before and after pics of my two camphor trees that the team at ABTS took care of for me, this morning. These folks were stellar--from the booking of the estimate to the communications regarding the appointment and then the team of arborists themselves. Brodeur Landscapes reccomended them to me and they, as always, steered us well. Let's be clear: tree work is specialized, skilled labor that has a degree of danger. There are chainsaws on sticks, helmets, all sorts of nonsense. The kind of service offered costs money. But that money is nothing compared to 1. Not paying for back surgery for my partner who could "just get up there and take care of it..." and 2. The peace of mind knowning one of the upper limbs wasn't going to fall down on one of the many roving kindergarteners in my neighborhood (we're also adjacent to a school.) Hiring ABTS is not going to be cheap, but the estimates are free and as the arborist today reminded me, sometimes they come out and are able to tell you they don't need to do anything--ergo, saving YOU money. The multi-person team who all arrived promptly, who called first, who follow-up emailed and worked within the estimate is totally worth it. -

1 year agoWe had a huge Oak tree limb fall on our house on a Saturday night. Our neighbor, who has used A Better Tree Service many times for all his oak trees, called Jeff and told him about the situation. Jeff came out at 10pm to assess the situation and then had his crew out the next morning to start the cleanup. His crew was very professional and did a great job. I'm very happy with the whole experience with them and would highly recommend them. -

1 year agoJeff came by our home last week to look at two trees we have - a Magnolia and a Deodar Cedar. He took the time to carefully assess each tree - from a 360 degree perspective - and recommend how to care for them. These trees add value to our lot and Jeff added value with his experience, insight, and his wit! Thanks Jeff - much appreciated. -

1 year agoAwesome experience from the whole team! Jeff was very professional and honest when giving his assessment of a large dead tree in my front yard that needed removal. He explained to me exactly what my options were, including recommending reaching out to SMUD to see if they would take care of it and provided a timely quote if not. Fortunately, SMUD did take the tree down themselves but regardless my experience with Jeff and team was stellar and I could tell they operate with the utmost integrity and professionalism. -

1 year agoWe had a Japanese Maple die on us unexpectedly, so Jeff came out to figure out what had happened. He spent about an hour in total with us explaining how it had died and what we would need to do to the rest of our yard to keep anything else from dying. He was very knowledgeable, informative, and polite. I highly recommend A Better Tree Service to anyone having problems with their landscaped trees!

FAQ
Does A Better Tree Service offer free estimates for tree trimming and removal?
We start with an in-person visit from an arborist to thoroughly evaluate your trees, such as oaks, cedars, or magnolias, before providing a custom quote. This assessment considers the tree's condition, size, location, and specific needs like trimming or removal. Estimates are provided on-site after this detailed review to ensure accuracy for your project.
Are you licensed and insured for tree services?
A Better Tree Service employs certified arborists who conduct professional assessments and handle all tree care tasks safely. Our operations include proper licensing and insurance to protect your property during services like emergency removal, precision trimming, and stump grinding. Homeowners can request verification of our credentials prior to starting any work.
Does A Better Tree Service handle emergency tree removal and stump grinding?
We provide emergency tree removal, as shown when responding to a large oak limb that fell on a house on a Saturday night. Our services also include stump grinding along with precision trimming for species like oaks, cedars, magnolias, and camphor trees. Arborists assess each situation to recommend the safest approach for removal or maintenance.
What is your process for scheduling tree service appointments?
We schedule jobs after the initial arborist assessment and your approval of the proposed plan. Timelines depend on the scope, such as trimming multiple trees or full removal, with clear communication from booking to completion. Expect prompt coordination, even for urgent cases, to fit your needs while accounting for weather and equipment availability.
Does A Better Tree Service clean up debris after tree pruning or removal?
We remove all debris, including branches, logs, and cuttings, using our equipment and trailers to leave your property clean. Crews handle cleanup as part of every job, from precision pruning to stump grinding and emergency removals. This ensures your yard is restored neatly without leftover waste for you to manage.
Why is hiring you for tree care safer than doing it yourself?
Our arborists perform a 360-degree assessment of each tree to identify health issues and structural risks before any cutting, preventing damage to your home or power lines. Professional techniques with ropes, cranes, and chainsaws allow safe handling of large limbs and trunks that DIY tools cannot manage securely. This thorough approach promotes long-term tree health and avoids common hazards like improper cuts leading to disease or falls.
