We are building a fence and on a tight schedule. In order to prep we had to take out a massive hedge. Hiding in the hedge were pipes and wires and a giant fallen log with huge roots. We couldn't move ahead with that tree there unless we rerouted the fence. We talked about trying to chainsaw it up and move the pieces but it was intimidating to us amateurs because of its size and shape. A family member suggested a tree company but warned they were pretty busy this time of year and it would be spendy. The day we uncovered the tree I stayed up really late thinking about what to do. I hated delaying the fence project or having to relocate it. So I started researching Humboldt tree companies and noticed that Coastal Tree Service had very good reviews and lots of them. The next morning (Friday) I called first thing and Tommy called me back a few hours later. I emailed him some images which he reviewed while we were talking, and offered to come out that same day to take a look. In person Tommy was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly experienced. He took a look at the log/stump and explained how he would handle it (fallen log to person nearby who would use it for firewood + chipper for the rootball). I told him what I was willing to pay and he agreed he could manage that, and agreed to come out Tuesday. I could hardly believe he could do the job for a reasonable price and within just a few days. It looked like I'd be able to salvage my fence project. Tuesday rolled around and Tommy fit me in at the end of what was a very long day for him. I had to run an errand and when I returned Tommy had chipped the whole log and the root. He explained the log had been rotten so was useless as firewood. Also, as a bonus, he chipped the roots of the hedge we'd taken down. This was great because it created a plethora of wood chips to help level the uneven ground, and saved me from digging out what were essentially tree roots from where the hedge was. I feel like I got really lucky with Coastal Tree and Tommy. Great company, outstanding customer service, and Tommy is a heckuva nice guy, too. I cannot recommend this business enough. read more

Let there be light! I have a very forested property, and my house is a freezing cave as a result. The team did an amazing job with my two-day redwood job, lifting the (very large) canopies in two areas of my property, topping another, and removing a few. They were super friendly, knew what they were doing, were conscientious about their surroundings, and cleaned up after. The price was very reasonable and scheduling was easy. When I need to do another tree job in a year, Coastal Tree Service will be my first call! Thank you! read more

From the time of the estimate to the end of the job these people were so nice and easy to work with. They went above and beyond and truly gave their best efforts. The head of the crew, John even jumped across the street to help my elderly neighbor cut an old apple tree down. He said they try to do nice things like that for people and he wasnt just saying it. At the end of the job I asked them to cut an apple tree hanging over the road. I knew it was not in the bid, but he told me they had 30 more minutes and they could do as much as they could on the apple tree. I agreed and thanked them. By the end of the 30 minutes the rotten, hollowed out apple tree was gone and i was sooo GRATEFUL. The team of 3 guys- John, Caleb and Andrew did a fantastic job! You can tell they like what they do. You can also see that the company owner treats them with respect and kindness, and I love to support a buisness who treats their team with kindness and respect. Thank you Coastal Tree Service for making this job affordable and efficient for me. I can't thank you enough for your outstanding service. Thank you for treating your crew with kindness. 5 Stars read more

Tom and his crew are not only highly skilled, they worked hard and fast while always considering any needs neighbors might have had. Tom claims communication is the key to success, and he was very concerned that we got the best service possible, and exactly what we wanted. I most strongly recommend them!! Mike T. read more

A real pleasure to work with. The crew was efficient, fast and professional. They consulted at every step to be sure we were satisfied with their work and were getting the look we wanted. We had a variety of concerns including pruning, trimming, tree removal, hedge shaping, and they did it all. And left everything clean and neat at the end! read more

This tree service was amazingly fast & safe they took out 4 trees around our place. 2 of the trees were a hazard rotten in the middle & very close to our home.

I would highly recommend them for your tree service needs!! read more

We called Coastal to get an estimate to cut down 5 large cypress trees. They came out quickly and managed to fit us into a cancellation day. It only took one day for them to get all 5 down. The crew was very nice and polite and cleaned up the area completely. We would recommend them to anyone looking for tree services. read more

We've used Coastal twice before, and as before Tom listened to what we needed, gave his opinion, and documented what we agreed to. His bid was reasonably priced, and once we gave the green light it was a matter of just a couple of weeks before the crew got to us. The crew arrived on time, and did what we had agreed to at the price agreed to. They were pleasant and accommodating, and John, the crew leader, communicated clearly at key points. The job was rather tricky, since it involved a drastic cutback of vegetation which was up against or between key structures; this included dealing with several massive Redwood trees which we're lucky enough to live amongst. The total project took a half day longer than expected; this was so that they could bring in a "spider bucket", in order to trim things not safely accessible with a regular "bucket truck". I was as before impressed by the three person crew's industriousness, thoroughness, and pleasant, considerate vibes. I will definitely use them in the future, as I have before, if I have vegetation control needs. read more

On time for all work, Excellent work removing some difficult trees. The crew worked efficiently, quickly and did an excellent job. They showed up when they said they would and were easy and friendly to work with. State of the art equipment and the skills to use these tools to do their work. You can't get better service on the north coast. read more

So disappointed in the service that I received. The job was left half done because the equipment could not reach the tree limbs, so instead of finishing the job they just left. After speaking with the owner, I truly felt like it was such an inconvenience to finish the job. He literally said it was a "pain in the butt". He then told me to wait for his employee to call me to schedule another appointment in a few weeks. I was then told that it shouldn't matter how long it takes to finish the job. I was waiting about a month for the first appointment, now I am left wondering how long I will have to wait for the follow-up. read more

Great job, overall! On time, on spec and complete. The team did an excellent job topping and trimming a set of alders, a cherry, a holly and an old alder (with character). Clean up was complete. Friendly, collaborative and professional. Would use them again! read more

I had to pay another tree service to clean up his mess. Ruined fence, ruined trampoline, ruined chimney top. He promised to do more than he did, took days longer, sent small crew (nice guys) for few hours a day. He seemed nice before the 'job'. I trusted him. His TV ad looks fantastic, but his work is not. Hire one of the other companies. ' He told me he had 'underbid'. I refused to pay him the extra because I had to pay another tree service to have his mess removed (fence, trampoline, chimney NOT repaired). He took a picture of my yard after the other service cleaned up his mess and used it and sent a letter about my personal situation to several other tree services. I could say more, but will not. Hire one of the other companies. read more

Just had Coastal Tree out this morning to remove a large Maple that was starting to show signs of rot, and was encroaching upon the sewage lines. The crew showed up 30 minutes early to set things up and promptly began to piece out the tree. In less than two hours the tree, and stump were gone, they neatly stacked the larger pieces of wood for the woodstove as per request, and left barely a trace that any tree work was even done. This was a tight spot to work in, right next to the house, under utility wires and with a surrounding picket fence, these guys and gal, are professionals! oh, and the bill came in under the quote! Thanks read more
