We were able to get a same-week assessment appointment for our 60-something foot California incense cedar which was overhanging our roofline. Matt who did the assessment was knowledgable, friendly, and the estimate was very reasonable. Work was completed by Matt and Robinson within the week, and it was done quickly (less than four hours) and neatly, even though access to our backyard was through a very narrow space. Previous cabling of co-dominant stems, which had been done many years ago, was inspected, and additional cabling was installed. The tree looks really good, and the risk mitigation with the pruning and cabling is in good order for the next couple of years. read more

Prompt, professional and well priced. Addressed our needs clearly with great suggestions regarding a variety of tree concerns, including general trimming, tree health and aesthetics. Definitely recommend! read more

The rep came out, gave us a very reasonable quote and was able to complete the tree removal (from a raised bed) without any damage at all. The tree trimming out front was quick, clean and helped set us up for many more years with a healthy tree read more

Guillaume really went above and beyond to help us deal with a dead tree. That included helping us navigate the city permitting process, suggesting replacement species, and carrying out the work with fantastic quality and speed. He has my ongoing gratitude and I'd highly recommend him for any future work! read more

Very responsive. Did what I asked effectively and efficiently. Price seemed fair. They seemed to balance tree care with aesthetics and obeying city laws about tree heights and distance from street, power lines etc read more

Arborist Now trimmed my backyard tree in May 2026. They were responsive and provided excellent service. The cost was reasonable and they showed great care with the tree. I will be calling in two years when our tree needs another trim. read more

Very knowledgeable and professional company. If you need tree experts, they're the right team. They planted two mature trees for me.

EDIT: the owner keeps lying even though *he was not there during any of the work or after*. The attempt at gaslighting is as unprofessional as the results. Save yourself a headache y'all this is a racket. The owner is a bold faced liar and his reply here is no different. His team didn't access a neighbor's yard that they needed to and lied about it. (1) The neighbor says no one went in her yard. (2) We have footage that no one went in her yard. (3) No trimming on that side of the hedge happened, and (4) the owner insisting they did wasn't. even. present. - Yet another "company" where the "owner" sells you on service his untrained team cannot execute on. This experience was bad. The owner has a nasty combative attitude right off the bat ("If you trim it it will just grow back" is a wild phrase to have on repeat when we hired him to...trim), and his "team" didn't do at all what was promised. We mainly needed a hedge trimmed on our neighbor's side. We coordinated with the neighbor to have the team enter the yard and THEY NEVER DID while LYING about it. When the time came to leave our yard and enter the neighbors' and they just...drove away instead of completing the main task of the job. The lies ranged from "we couldn't access it because we didn't have shoe covers" to "we did access it but with a small ladder" to "we trimmed the entire thing." Now how can all of those things be true? They can't. They aren't. This company lies. The lies *only stopped* when said we had footage of the workers, after our neighbor said they never were in her yard, and the hedge *is untouched* on her side. The two hedges we asked to be squared off aren't remotely squared and were barely touched. Light green growth still present everywhere. Just lazy, lying people who couldn't complete a basic task. A blind person with clippers would have done a better job and made more cuts. Shady, bad work. read more

My wife and I have hired Arborist Now on three separate occasions to do pruning, dead tree removal, and care for a sick tree. The arborists are extremely knowledgeable, and spent a lot of time with us helping us to understand our trees and make assessments. There are definitely more affordable options out there, but I have the feeling Arborist Now is probably the way to go if you want to get extra knowledgeable guidance and peace of mind where are your trees are concerned! Consistently a good experience. read more

I was dreading taking our tree down, but Arborist Now made it less stressful. Responded to messages, came out quickly for an estimate, and got the job scheduled faster than I expected. Good people to work with, all of them (including the guys high in the tree). read more

Their response was quick and staff was knowledgable. Process was easy and price was fair. They were able to get the job done after the initial inspection within two business days. read more

June 12, 2025 This was the third time I hired Arborist Now. Today's job was to tame our monster Bird of Paradise; carefully prune the Hawthorn tree; and removed the dead, ugly fronds from an adjacent yucca tree in our SoMa garden. The crew was on time and carefully stepped around our flowers and plants as they worked. Both the Bird of Paradise and Hawthorn tree look "civilized" now. read more

I can offer a very simple review. We have hired Arborist Now three times. My wife handles these matters. She says they are very neat. We have had to trim trees due to city mandate and insurance requirements. Our house is on a corner. So there is work to be done every five years or so. I'd like to comment Yelp. This social media platform is a service. it shows the value of crowdsourcing. I cannot say that of every form of social media. I belong among those with the opinion that this innovation has had mixed results in terms of influence on behavior, individual and collective. But a place where you can obtain a set of impressions, admittedly of varying quality (no self praise; I am sure some wonder about my scribblings here), about businesses you might patronize, does what is needed in a free market: it offers information for a decision about how to spend money. The best recommendation is the one you would make to your prior self and future self. We intend to call Arborist Now when we next have an issue, as we have before. Many thanks. read more

The team at Arborist Now demonstrated great expertise, professionalism, and customer service in helping me manage the large redwoods in my yard while also cutting back a neighbor's overhanging juniper and pruning a camellia tree. The work was done quickly and cleanly. Highly recommend! read more

Arborist now promptly responded to our request for a bid to trim our pine trees. They really took the time to examine our trees and to let us know their current condition and their recommendations for trimming our trees. They provided us with their license and proof of insurance as requested. We got four bids and found their price to be very fair. Both Matt and Joss were nice to work with and their crew was great. They promptly arrived at 7:30 am and were done by noon. Clean up was spotless. I would highly recommend Arborist Now!! read more

I hired Arborist now to prune a tree in front of our house. My request for an estimate was promptly answered and provided, and after the estimate was provided, the pruning was done the next day.

ARBORIST NOW earns the highest marks for expertise, customer relations, and reasonable pricing. If you need attention to trees on your property and are in or near San Francisco, you cannot do better than to engage them. My wife and I are in the long-overdue process of having a garden designed and implemented in our backyard. We had a large and lovely but ailing bay tree, perhaps 30 feet high, at the rear end of the lot. Recently, a big wind brought half the tree crashing down and exposed rot at its core. It clearly had to be removed for safety. Arborist Now soon had a 4-man crew on site. They were quick and thorough, cleared the area of debris and at our request, spread the resultant mulch on our yard. We cannot recommend them more highly. read more

The Aborist that serviced my property was very friendly, had a great attitude, and got the job done quickly. I would definitely recommend this company if you are looking for a good, quality Aborist. Thank you! read more

We had Ivy growing on the rooftop of our garage, even inside and on the sides of our garage. Arborist Now Inc. did a fantastic job. I was worried the wood would give and a window would break as the Ivy was thick on them. However, Arborist Now got it all off without harming anything. They also trimmed all the Ivy around the fences and 2 trees. They did a fantastic job and I'm very pleased! Thank you to the guys at Arborist Now Inc. read more

I was referred to Arborist Now by my neighbor. I was in the middle of a dispute with a neighbor who was concerned re the safety of one of the structural limbs of my CA Oak Tree extending over his roof. He wanted to have it cut off. Even though the limb is extending over his property the tree is on my property. I called the company and was told an arborist would come out to assess the situation. Matt was sent out. I'd never had experience w/a certified arborist however Matt was the tree expert! His knowledge, experience, expertise in handling disputes was highly impressive! He offered an agreeable option for myself & my neighbor to install a support cable between the limbs to prevent it from falling onto his roof. My tree was saved w/o the concern of having to do any cutting that would not only weaken but ruin the integrity of the tree. Not to mention the liability it would've posed for me & my neighbor had the tree been cut & caused any damage in the foreseeable future. The crew also did some thinning on a redwood tree in my backyard & they did an excellent job! I was extremely pleased with their quick availability and easy scheduling. Top notch service, they've earned a customer for life! If your looking for reliable tree service, look no further-highly recommend! read more

We are very happy that we contacted ArboristNow! My husband's favorite fruit tree was in trouble, so we really appreciated the expert advice from the arborist for this tree as well as his other fruit trees. The crew was friendly and worked very efficiently. They cleaned up all the trimmings. They did a great job! Our backyard looks so much better! This was our first time using ArboristNow. We will contact them again for winter pruning to get his fruit trees ready for spring. read more

I called Arborist Now, left a message, and they called me back right away. A lead arborist came out to quote the job the next business day (called Friday and he came Monday) and was excellent, including giving us advice on two trees on our sidewalk strip that were out of scope for pruning, and sharing lots of knowledge and listening carefully to us on what we wanted done. He quoted us a fair price all around, and gave us a detailed quote with notes in it on exactly what we wanted done. There were a lot of nuances to our pruning request -- we wanted more light to get to our upper bedroom and the trees in back shaped a certain way for us and our neighbors to let in more light. It was a thorough conversation with an obviously knowledgeable and caring arborist. The quote was fair and clear, with each of our trees properly named and all of the specifics that we wanted written down. It was also done electronically so I could easily see it, and approve it, on my phone, and also save the PDF. All very professional and modern. On the the day of the job (not months later, but that week), our pruners arrived early and got the job done before noon. They did an absolutely excellent job, and were very pleasant and nice -- doing the job well and then thoroughly cleaning up after themselves and doing a final walk through with me at the end. Arborist Now is an excellent company! I highly recommend them. read more

We have used Arborist Now three times in the past eight years, and every time they have performed prompt, professional and efficient service. Remy really knows our trees and how to best prune and canopy raise to keep them healthy and beautiful. Our first experience was for emergency service after a storm. Shortly after we moved into our home, we had a large limb fall into our neighbor's beautiful garden (welcome to the neighborhood!). The Arborist Now team was able to come out right away, and did an excellent job cleaning our neighbor's yard as well as ours. Arborist Now has gained our trust and is our go to for our regular pruning. read more

I put off having our Japanese maples pruned for YEARS because I was so afraid someone might butcher them, but the skillful arborists from Arborist Now did such a beautiful job, my trees still look like their lovely selves, only better and healthier. They not only came on time as promised and were delightful to work with, they really impressed me with how much they knew about managing older trees and keeping them in good health. After working with Arborist Now, I would never call anyone else. read more

ArboristNow did an excellent job of pruning back very large bushes and a tree in my yard. The work was efficient, knowledgeably done, and thorough. The team is hard working and trustworthy.

They clean up and leave everything in great condition. I highly recommend them. read more

I cannot recommend George and his team at Arborist Now enough! We have a beautiful large box elder maple in our backyard. It overhangs the house and we wanted to make sure it was healthy and not rubbing against our roofline. George came out to give us a quote and took the time to explain what care the box elder maple needed and why, plus give us care tips for a few of our smaller fruit trees, too. He clearly cares deeply about trees and has a wealth of knowledge about them, and it felt good to know that our trees would be pruned by an expert arborist, not just anybody with a chainsaw! On the day of work, George and his team arrived promptly, went over their plan with us, and got straight to work. The box elder looks beautiful, and they were able to add one of the fruit trees to the pruning list even though we only asked them on the spot! They cleaned up after themselves and left the yard neat as a pin. We had string lights up around the backyard that they had to take down to prune, and they put those back up as well. On top of all this, the price is right. If you have trees you love and want them properly cared for, hire George and his team. read more

From the initial inquiry through yelp, a call from the rep for the onsite evaluation day, to the day the aborist arriving and the work executed, Arborist Now was super courteous, knowledgeable and efficient!

George was very responsive and answered all my questions about the job at a timely manner whether it was email, phone or text.
