Some were clearly dead and if they had fallen they would land right on my new house. Others I had no idea about until he pointed out the tell tale signs of their rot. Most were also hit by the 2020 fire, so in time they would have fallen and I wanted to be preventative. Ron's crew were so nice and professional. The precision of their work is amazing. I'll definitely be having them take more trees down in the future and highly recommended them.

I hired Stellar Tree Care to take down two hazardous oaks, thin a redwood grove that had a few…read moresmaller trees that were starting to become top heavy, and take down a large redwood that was very near to my house. Ron responded to my call quickly, had him out the next day, got his advice on what should be taken down, and he gave an estimate for the time required to complete the work, and we agreed on a price. They started their next business day and the work has gone very smoothly. The large redwood was right above my house and up against a neighbor's fence but the entire thing was taken down cleanly and without damaging any of the neighboring trees, the fence, or the propane and septic tanks below it. Probably most impressive was the cleanup, parts of my yard look dramatically better than they did before I hired them. For the quality of work done, the scale of the job, and the high skill Ron and his crew demonstrated while working, I felt this was money very well spent. He charges per day, and for me this was a more flexible model for figuring out the work that would fit within my budget. I can't recommend Ron enough, and we'll have him and his crew back soon enough.

Looking back, I must update this. The main owner, excellent, the men on the ground; very cool and…read moreinteresting. The main muscle man, is what this update is about. So they did a great job. I asked about three huge piles of chipped wood, the level of fire hazard. I was told, oh it is completely safe, so says cal fire. I go, really? He, again uses that magic word, Cal fire, yes they say it is safe. I think to myself, that makes no sense, did not realize when it got chipped it turned into glass or metal. Then I had some other loggers come around and they said that pile can combust, and so I got on the net and put in a search engine, "Wood Chips, wildfires and Cal fire chiefs." Well, the result was, they do not recommend wood chips around the house, and pages of Fire chiefs wondering why people put flammable stuff like wood chips about their places, well, here is the answer, men like the one who advised me, thinking I was a idiot, and I was at the moment, me, who am I, these are loggers they know, so I went according to what I was told until I found out otherwise. Now, although I am bed ridden for 30 years and no body tone, I am out at 7 am before the heat wave comes upon my head, and digging out these huge wood piles under a lie. I lost my brain when I heard him say it was perfectly safe to put it all about my investment to lose it. Here is a simple simpleton search and wow, not so fire proof. But aside from that fib, they did excellent work, and to say otherwise would be lying. I as I may have said in my original review, I managed political volunteers for over 50 years, so know the level of work and abilities, these folks were hard workers, not sitting about gossiping or messing about, the crew is tight and not lazy and nice all the way around, I just wished I had been told the truth or maybe he did not get the memo from all fire departments and cal fire that wood chips are flammable. I force myself to dig out these huge mountains of chips I could have had taken to the dump as waste; as it is tan oak contaminated and must be segregated into trash and not compost materials.

I had a redwood…read moretree about 100 feet tall that had three spires to it and was starting to uproot my foundation. Ned, who ran the crew, scoped everything out, checked with my neighbors, and had to take a couple sections of fence out as it was in between 2 properties. He communicated with both of us and let us know what was gonna happen. They de-limbed the tree, took the tree out and ground the stump out. They were the only company to bid taking out the tree, utilizing the wood, selling it to big Creek and in return taking that portion of money off my bill. All of the other companies were going to grind the tree, which seemed like a waste to me. They cleaned up the yard on both my neighbors side and my side, even doing a little bit of landscape on the neighbor side to make it look nice putting everything back to better than it was. I can't speak highly enough of this company. Great quality th best price of anyone , and their service was amazing.

Victor from Denali Tree Service is THE BEST!…read more We just moved here to the Santa Cruz mountains from Los Angeles after losing our home in the Altadena fire. Living in the woods after experiencing a total loss fire was a bit nerve-racking, but we fell in love with this property in the redwoods. I knew we needed to do a bunch of large tree branch cutting for safety and also aesthetic purposes. Also we needed removal of fire risk dead branches on the ground all over the property and on steep forest hillsides. I had no idea how to tackle this new type of property maintenance, as we never had to do this type of tree work in Los Angeles, as well as we didn't have any local resources yet. I was really hoping that we could find someone here that we could trust with our beautiful old redwood trees - but still be affordable. After meeting Victor, we did an extensive property walkthrough to go over all of our goals, questions, and concerns. He spent so much time talking through it all with us, and I was so relieved to find that he was SO good with his attention to details, wealth of knowledge, and great communication skills. I felt in good hands with Victor overseeing the job itself, knowing he would be on site to make sure all the details we had discussed and confirmed would in fact be completed - as we had imagined & planned. I know often unfortunately the reality of a sales guy who can promise a lot, but doesn't actually deliver when it comes to the job getting complete. But Victor had both the knowledge of how to proceed with what we needed on this job and price it accordingly in the most fair way, AND great on site management skills to lead a large crew of guys and equipment to accomplish the job so seamlessly. His communication along the way was helpful too, as he always answered texts or called back quickly in the planning process before the job started. We are so very happy with how the job went! The entire crew was on point, professional and really good at what they do, many of the guys have been in this industry for over 15-20 years! The property looks absolutely amazing, like a fresh makeover on beautiful old trees - making them safer with less fire risk, and also trimming back and shaping them to their best health and appearance. We are so happy and grateful for finding Victor! He is very professional, kind, communicative, knowledgable, and reliable. He is very thorough and detail oriented and his prices are very fair as well. After going through so much stress this year with losing everything, it has been a relief that this large job has been such an easy and calm experience. We will be hiring him to do any future tree work for sure!
