Bud's Tri County Tree Service did an amazing job removing two large sycamores and cutting back two other large ones. Ryan and his team were so efficient, professional, and took care of my home and yard like it was their own. My neighbors even came out to thank me for hiring such a great company. I will definitely be referring everyone I know to them in the future! read more

Bud's Tri-County Tree Services - Arborist cutting down a large sycamore in my backyard. - Tree Services Near Me - West Sacramento, California

Bud's tree service is the best!! They do an excellent job & always clean up!! They're very easy to work with, schedule an appointment and so efficient! I've had to use them three times now and I highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Ryan and his crew showed up early and went right to work. They are fast and thorough and got everything done that we asked of them. We also added some last minute extra trimmings while they were working and they happily completed everything same day for a great price. They also went above and beyond and cleaned our roofs covered in leaves and twigs from the tree limbs they trimmed away from the house. This is our second time using them and both times were great and best of all they have the best pricing with a senior discount and their quotes always came in cheaper than we expected! read more

Really satisfied with the tree removal. Joe came out to provide an estimate and price was fair. The day of the scheduled appointment, they were in time, respectful of the property, made sure to avoid damage around the surrounding area and cleaned up after the tree was removed. Service was professional and prompt. read more

I had Bud's do some work on a large tree in my backyard. I was quoted a fair price and the work was done well.There is a deck built around the tree and a few yard features that could not be moved. The crew was respectful of my property and did a good job working around things. The tree looks great after the work. They did a good job cleaning up afterwards. read more

2 big thumbs up! Joe was very good at reminding me about my appointment and when he arrived, both he and his crew were very courteous and professiona! They did a great job, and cleaned up everything perfectly. You should hire them if you need tree service! read more

Ryan deserves 5 stars for being so professional, kind, and not pushy at all. He took his time to give us a quote for pruning and taking out some trees, and while we were still on the fence on a few things, he gladly added estimates so we could think about it further before moving forward. When we finally made a decision, he actually notified us of an opening for the very next day. He greeted us with a smile early in the morning and instructed the trimmers on what needed to be done. During the entire project, everything seemed to be going well. It was when the crew was finished that things weren't so great, particularly with the main trimmer. We had our front tree pruned, and I simply asked the trimmer "is it recommended to keep the limbs hanging over the house?" His response was "I've been doing this for 18 years. I could cut it if you want, but it would be lop-sided. This kind of irked me because I was just asking for his professional opinion. I don't care to know how long someone has been doing something if I'm specifically asking for their advice. I looked around our backyard and noticed a big pile of leaves/sawdust in two corners. I asked if it would they could clean those areas up since they have the leaf blowers. The trimmer remarked that his guys should've done that but they were all just sitting in their trucks waiting to leave. He ended up doing it himself, which I was grateful for, but as he walked over to clean the areas up, he muttered "oh yeah, boss, it's all clean", seemingly mocking his own crew. When he finally finished, I handed over the check and asked if I could get a receipt. He responded with "well, don't you have the quote? There you go." Yes, I did have the signed quote, but that's not documentation of payment. I was so annoyed at this point with him that I just disregarded it and let him go. After the entire crew left, I looked at our backyard again, and one of the corners was not cleaned up. Larger pieces of twigs (not the thin ones that could easily get mowed up) were still on our front lawn, so I had to pick all of those up so it wouldn't damage our gardener's lawn mower. And I even had to clean up our neighbor's yard because they failed to clean up twigs and branches on their side as well. Mind you, I do not expect every twig and leaf to be cleaned up, but there were some smaller branches and thicker twigs all over the place. I even ended up raking up two decent-sized piles of leaves because they just blew the leaves around without really cleaning them up. While they did what was asked of them, I really didn't appreciate the mess they left and the attitude. read more

Communication from Bud's was excellent from quote to completing the job (pruning oak tree). Joe was the only estimator who looked under, around and pointed out specific areas of what needed to be done and  explained the why's. Their pricing was reasonable too. My yard was spotless when they were finished. Give them a call, you won't regret it. read more

We just had a couple of tall cypress trees removed, and my neighbors got some pruning done on a tall Chinese Elm, by Bud's Tree Service. Bud's Tree Service sent out a team of knowledgeable, efficient, hard-working people to do the work. Bud's team did the stump grinding, and they hauled away the trees. This business is top-notch. They have arborists and tree-passionate people who know their stuff. We highly recommend them. Oh, and the attitude of the entire team was so positive!! How wonderful!! They were helpful, full of knowledge and friendly advice, and just all-around great. Bud's has an excellent reputation, and we are so glad we hired them. Bud's price was reasonable, and goodness, they were so efficient. Bud's has all of the necessary equipment (and highly skilled tree professionals) to do any type of tree work. Yay! We couldn't be happier with the work of Bud's team. I want to repeat that the attitude of these tree professionals made all the difference. Skilled professionals who work well as a team... We made the right choice in hiring Bud's. Thank you to Ryan Shular, arborist, who came to the house initially to give us an estimate; we scheduled the work, and he assembled this awesome team for the work. Thank you also to Mark, the awesome tree expert with whom we've worked before, who was part of the team that came out; it was nice to see Mark again! Tree removal is a bigger job than some might think. Hire these professionals and you'll be glad you did! Whether you need an arborist, or any kind of tree work: We recommend Bud's! read more

Came out quickly for an estimate. Kept in contact on availabilities. Then had a guy out to cut out my stump for the flat fee of $200. Instead of using the grinder he dug it out further and cut it out with a chainsaw and hauled the stump away. Good and fast stump removal. Don't waste money and effort trying to get those dang stumps out yourself. We wasted half a year digging, drilling holes, pouring stump killer, sawing off roots for them to just come in with a chainsaw and deal with it in 45 minutes lol. Highly recommended read more

We've been working with Bud's for a few years now and they never disappoint. We have about a dozen large redwoods and several large blue oaks they've helped us care for. They are always detailed and really listen to what we ask for regarding tree trimming. They are skilled and always do a thorough job while preserving the privacy our trees provide. Highly recommended-wish all home maintenance was this easy :) read more

Very happy with Bud's Tree Service! They planted a gorgeous maple tree in our front lawn. They called two days ago, quoted us yesterday and the tree was planted today! Efficient, hard-working and a great value. Thank you!! read more

My yard had an overgrown plum tree that had never been properly trimmed by the previous owner. After a few summers of thousands of rotting plums on my lawn and large branches cracking and dangling, I decided it was time to get rid of the tree. A neighbor recommended Bud's and I couldn't be happier with their service. Doug came and gave me a very reasonable estimate for cutting down the tree and grinding the stump. The crew that performed the work was fast and professional, and cleaned up the mess. This is a local business that has built a great reputation and I will be using Bud's again. read more

These guys just trashed all my beautiful tropical plants while trimming our two palm trees. Talked the the foreman, Jesus, about it and he just gave me a lot of attitude about it and said they were leaving. in the past we paid hundreds less to have this done and my other plants were not destroyed. Unfortunately our regular tree trimmer was gone on vacation. He had never done this. He used a rope to lower the pods so they didn't crush everything. Jesus said they never do this. they just drop everything into your flower beds, smashing everything. they destroyed about 6 banana trees that were between 4-8 feet tall, all my white ginger plants and some other tropical plants. I will try to add pictures. In one picture you can see my neighbors house which used to be totally hidden by my banana trees. My next door neighbor just came over to tell me that they broke a couple of branches on his fig tree. They were just throwing palm fronts to the ground and some were going on my neighbors roof and yard. read more

Chris was quick to estimate the project but was super unprofessional and didn't want to actually do the job as he canceled the project due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Wouldn't recommend using them. read more

Doug came out and gave us an estimate and it was a price I knew couldn't be beat. We didn't bother getting any other estimates, plus we wanted to support a local business. Doug came out this morning with his crew and arrived on schedule. Great group of guys - super courteous and friendly. Our ugly tree was gone in a little over an hour. I was surprised how fast these guys got it done. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use them again. read more

So impressed! While the work needing to be done cannot be completed by an arborist at this time, Stacy came by and gave me crucial advice needed to move forward in our project. His schedule was flexible and he took the time to make sure I understood the steps required to move forward - even though some of the work was to be completed by another industry (concrete). We might have a few trees needing servicing soon and I will not hesitate to contact him and his team. I will refer him to any clients of mine needing an arborist. read more

TL;DR: Great work for a fair price. I worked with Al. He came by to do the quote. We walked around the property I have in Cameron Park identifying all of the issues. I had recently purchased the property, which has numerous mature oak trees that hadn't been tended to in many years. We talked through the pros and cons of doing or not doing various things and I had a full quote in-hand at the end of the meeting. A week later, the team came out to knock out the work and I came home from work to everything having been completed. The team cleaned up as they went leaving everything in great shape and me having the peace of mind that everything was handled. I'd absolutely recommend and use these guys again. They're straight-shooters who get in and get it done right. read more

This is probably the worst experience by far!!! I was scheduled for oak pruning by Buds tree service a week prior, I get a phone call saying that they have to reschedule the tree service the reason was the car broke down. Ok I say as business owner I understand ! It happens. But when you reschedule me 3 time that becomes a joke. Please dont waist your time read more

We had an obnoxious tree that we wanted removed plus some other tree limbs. We have been so pleased with Buds tree removal services in the past and used them again today. I didn't want to waste any time to post this review because I was so pleased with how they came in before eight this morning, made quick work of the trees and had cleaned everything up within no more than an hour. We felt that they were reasonable in pricing and highly professional. read more

I'm giving Bud's five stars and I've never used them. I've never used them because they told me I didn't need they're service! Who DOES that?? My tenant told me there were bugs on a tree in the front yard. I asked Bud's for a quote to cut it down. Chris came out, took a bug (or maybe a picture), and sent it to his "bug guy". Bug guy said the bugs were not only NOT harmful, they were actually beneficial so don't kill them and don't cut the tree down. So while I was stressing about spending money at Holiday time to cut a tree down or treat for bugs, instead I got the GREAT news that nothing needed to be done! Bud's didn't even charge me to have the bug guy ID the things!!! Who DOES that??? read more

Bud's was here at my house this morning to trim back three large plum trees and about a dozen large bushes. The trees and bushes are on a slight hill next to the sidewalk and had branches and offshoots sprawling all over, even lower on their trunks. When I came around the corner to see the finished product I was awestruck. The trees had been transformed into beautiful, eye-catching wonders. The v-shape profile they were pruned to makes them look much taller than before. The bushes turned out great too - perfect cubes. Thank you Chris and team for your excellent work! read more

Bud's Tri County Tree Service comes though again. The 70' oak lost a huge branch due to transpiration, which is common in Sacramento's summertime. It took down power lines and electrical transformers. Bud's estimator Albert came over within a day to bid the job. Their tree crew was scheduled about a week out. The crews did excellent work over 6 days to safely take down the beautiful monster tree. Excellent, professional and considerate service and consultation are hallmarks of Bud's Tri-County Tree Service led by Stacey Barker. read more

Where do I begin? These folks are the best. If you're in Woodland, Sacramento or the surrounding areas, don't waste your time with anyone else. I had the biggest tree you'll probably ever see in my backyard that was rotting from a bad pruning a long time ago. I called a few folks with high reviews here - they were pretty flaky. In fact, they were all less expensive than Bud's, but Bud's was the most responsive, professional, thorough - and Stacey and his team took an incredibly complex removal and made it look easy. Done on time. On budget. And exceeded our expectations. Linda was incredibly courteous and professional as well. Thanks Bud's!!!! read more

In the end, Bud's did a good job for a good price. The estimator/crew boss (Chris) was good at scheduling service quickly and following-up with appointments and issues. I contacted Bud's to trim my silver maple, including removing a lot of dead stuff. While Chris was here for the estimate, he also recommended removal of a tallow and fig tree that have begun to get out of control and were starting to damage my patio. I had to have them come back out a second time because they left one big dead piece in the maple that should have been removed. But, Chris agreed right away they should have gotten it the first time and in the end the tree looks really good. Their clean-up of my yard wasn't great, but not bad enough to complain about - I just needed to pick up some small branches and re-blow the patio and furniture. I like that they are a West Sac business. I most likely will use them again. read more

I was referred to Doug of Bud's Tree Service through family. Doug responded to my call and was courteous and professional on the phone. We scheduled a walk through of my yard (1/2 acre) wherein I needed several trees cleaned up and trimmed. Again, he was polite, professional extraordinarily positive. We set a scope of work and a tentative fee. I was able to reach him after hours by text when my significant other wanted to add some additional trimming of hedges. Doug remained courteous and responsive. When he and the crew showed up, they did so on time, with proper equipment and did an amazing job. They cleaned up the trimmings and left my property looking fabulous. I highly recommend this company. Their prices are fair, their staff are courteous and professional and they did a kick ass job as well. read more

Used Bud's for my first tree trimming at my new house and they were very fairly priced and Ryan was so friendly and responsive. They did a great job and were super efficient. Definitely recommend! read more

All around a great experience! I called for an estimate and I received a same day response. Chris came out within the week, surveyed the yard, and gave us a written quote right there. We agreed to a work date about a week out. The crew showed up on time, and got right to work. Within a few hours the trees were gone, the stumps were treated, and we had a pile of wood chips ready for use. True to their word, the cost was exactly what we had agreed too! I'm very happy, and I highly recommend Buds Tree Service. read more

Although I didn't personally use their service, my neighbors did. My car and my other neighbors' car was completely covered in sawdust. They also blocked my driveway. It would've been nice for them to knock on my door and let me know they'd be blocking my driveway and to maybe move my car. I just paid to have it washed 2 days ago and now it's worse than before. Thanks a lot! read more

Saw on Nextdoor that a local neighbor was using Chris' service, reached out to Chris for a quote for trimming two palm trees - one in my front yard and one in my back but I am on a corner lot. Chris told me he would be here Friday, I asked for a rough ball park quote - asked me to send a video from the base up to the top. I went out back did the first film and sent it to him. While walking to the front yard he called me and said "there is only one tree, I told you to put both" I explained that I needed to send two because of location, he told me "i said I needed it in one" in an aggressive unfriendly tone - I told him I didn't want to work with him, he laughed, called me an idiot and hung up on me. Minutes later he did text me. read more

Bud's Tri-County Tree Services - Tree Services Near Me - West Sacramento, California

Highly recommend these guys! Albert came out about an hour after we spoke to do my estimate. I live in West Sacramento so I'm not far from his office. The trees we have were in bad shape and required special attention. Albert and I talked at length about what was best for the trees vs how far back I wanted them trimmed due to issues with them hanging over the neighbors homes. In the end we compromised and agreed on a reasonable price. Albert and his crew did a great job and the trees look amazing. The best part is, they took the time to move all of my wife's potted plants before starting and put them all back when done. I would definitely use them again. read more

These guys are super awesome. I called 5-6 different arborists and Bud's provided the most competitive quote. Not only that, the team they sent out was very experienced and friendly. They successfully cut down my normal size pear tree, grinded it, cleaned the street, packed up, and left in about 1 hour. Plus, I can't even tell the tree was there. Plus, the Office Manager and Estimator were the most responsive to my emails, calls, and text out of all the arborists that I called. Great service and excellent work! read more

I just wanted to exclaim how pleased I am with the job that Buds Tree Service did on removing my 50 year old Modesto Ash. When I called Stacy came out to professionally estimate my tree service request. Stacy was very knowledgeable and quoted a fair price for the labor involved. Buds came out promptly... took care of all necessary paperwork... and had the problem tree removed in one day. My neighbors are impressed and I would recommend Buds to anyone needing tree service in Sacramento! read more

Bud's Tri-County Tree Services - Before - Tree Services Near Me - West Sacramento, California

I had a large tree that had to come down in my front yard, along with some other trimming that was needed. Doug came out and gave me an estimate that I felt was acceptable. His guys came out and did the work, including poisoning the stump. They returned a couple of weeks later to grind the stump. They did a decent job with the clean up. I soon found that they did not get all of the stump. I was glad that they ca,e out and did some more grinding. However, after they left, I saw that some of the stump was still present. I took pictures and texted them to Doug. He said that there were too many rocks for him to till the remaining roots. read more

We needed to have a large liquidamber tree removed from our yard so I called Bud's to get an estimate. Doug came out and went over everything with me, giving me a reasonable estimate on the spot. Once we decided to hire them, Doug took care of obtaining the permit needed and once obtained, contacted me to schedule the removal. The crew showed up at the scheduled time, got the job done quickly and cleaned up the mess. They were also very friendly. I highly recommend Bud's! read more

Bud's professionals pruned trees at my new house that had been neglected for awhile. I appreciated their expertise and excellent service.

I wish I could give 10 stars. I found this company on Yelp! And was apprehensive to cut down some overgrown trees. Met with Al who came out promptly to give me a quote. He identified my trees as a non bearing Mulberry, a locust and two 65 ft. Palm trees. After a quick meeting i was given a VERY reasonable estimate for removal and stump grinding. The crew arrived in the morning and everyone was super professional, courteous amd hardworking. They made quick work of the trees. I was so impressed by their talent and the equiptment they used. My neighbors were impressed as well. The trees were mulched and larger stumps pieces were taken to the dumps. The stumps were grinded down very well. I will always use this company as my go to tree service in the future. Don't waste time with anyone else. The workers were their own crew, not random day laborers with experience. All with their own unique set of skills. They have the manpower and equiptment to get the job done right and at a reasonable price. Thank you Buds! read more

Did a great job, cut down my tree grinded up two stumps for me. Professional and did a good job. Would recommend them to others.

After part of an oak tree in our yard fell on our house, I got several quotes to have it removed in fear it would eventually cause more damage to either my house or my neighbor's house. Bud's quote was in the same neighborhood as other companies and they were quick to provide me with the quote and schedule me for the tree removal project. On the day of the removal project, their crew showed up early and got to work right away. When I returned home from work, I found they had not only removed the tree and left the wood cut into fireplace lengths on my patio, but they had also cleaned up nicely around where they worked, along with my back and front yard where they had travelled to and from the wood chipper on the street. Bud's Tree Service was punctual, easy to deal with and their staff seemed very nice and respectful. I will definitely look to Bud's for future tree-related needs and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a tree company! read more

After looking for a dependable and professional tree service for quite some time, we decided to go with Bud's. These guys do a great job-- both for tree removal, and tree trimming. We will definitely use them again. Unlike a lot of companies that may make you wait weeks just to get an estimate, or even a phone call back, they are very responsive. Ryan, came right out the morning after I called. He was friendly, took his time discussing all of our tree issues, and wrote up an itemized estimate on the spot. Once we decided to schedule with them, they were here within a week, and on-time--another bonus. Our birch tree's top third was snapped by the wind, but we wanted to try and save the remaining tree for a while longer. I was concerned that the tree would look weird if it was 'topped', but the crew did such a nice job trimming the jagged trunk and working with the remaining branches around the break. It looks 'natural' and almost like it was always that way. We also had a large, diseased fruitless pear tree removed, and they made quick work of that. We thought for sure they would have to access our neighbor's backyard, but it was no problem for them to bring the whole tree down on our side. Using ropes, (and physics :) ) they were pros at controlling the falling tree. They were also careful at hauling all of it out through our side-yard, taking care not to damage fencing, gates, stucco, etc. The crew seemed very experienced and worked efficiently together. If I had any questions, Justin was kind enough to answer them. They have nice trucks and all the proper gear for whatever they need to do. They used the hydraulic bucket lift to trim up a large camphor tree (front yard) away from the roofline--definitely the best trimming that tree has ever had. Oh, and they did all of that in 2 hours, btw. read more
