Amazing! Professional friendly and hard working crew came out and pruned two oversized trees. Huge praise! Beautiful job. Timely. Cleaned up. And tree was near a pool and two fence lines. Can't thank them enough. read more

My red maple needed a pruning, and I wanted a real arborist to take a look at it. It was easy to contact Scott with text messages. We made most of our contacts via text or email. A large crew came out. We discussed what needed doing and they got to work. Within about an hour, they were done, cleaned up, and ready to go. I am satisfied with the pruning. I asked if more could be removed, and the trimmer explained that the new growth might sunburn if he took much more. That seemed reasonable to me. I was quoted $1650 and I was charged $1650. I tried to negotiate for a reduction, but Scott was firm. I paid more than I wanted to or than the job seemed to take, but my tree looks very nice. I would work with these guys again. read more

Five stars for Scott, Carter, and crew! We moved into a home that had a huuuuge unruly eucalyptus that was partially over the roof, that needed a good trim and cleanup. I wanted to make sure it was healthy because it is so large; and therefore, wanted a certified arborist to check it out before having any work done. Scott responded promptly to my call and came out quickly to check the eucalyptus and other trees I needed trimmed or removed. He is a nice guy who is very professional, seemed honest to me, and reasonably priced. His crew is well knowledged on proper tree trimming and balancing. Scott had his crew come out within a week of us first meeting. The foreman, Carter, and five other guys comprised the crew. However, Carter was in contact with Erik throughout the entire process and sent him pictures of the work in progress. Carter and crew were extremely careful with all the trees, but I was especially appreciative of their caution when trimming the large eucalyptus with very heavy branches. I enjoyed watching the tree climbers do their thing. The eucalyptus tree looks beautiful again. In Scott's words, she looks "light and happy"! The guys on the ground were constantly picking up debris and chopping branches so they left the area clean. I will have them back for additional work because Scott and crew earned my trust and I did not feel taken advantage of. They also grinded all stumps/roots. Highly recommend! (Before they left, I saw one of the main tree climbers walk back over to the majestic eucalyptus, look up at her, and gave her some friendly pats on the trunk, as if to pay respect to her. That was a really sweet moment.) read more

I had Scott some out to assess our grove of redwood trees because I wanted a certified arborist. He was very knowledgeable and gave us advice on keeping our trees as healthy as possible. Very honest and wouldn't even take a consult fee. He answered all of our questions and gave us some homework to do. I am sure we will use him in the future for our other tree maintenance needs. read more

Had a cedar tree removed, trees trimmed from the electrical line, and on the front hanging over the street. The crew showed up early and were very professional and good.

I am so grateful that Scott came over to our house the same day I called to do a tree assessment of our three big redwoods in the back. My husband and I have been worried about the trees and in the recent storms the middle tree was moving and lifting around the rootball. I love these trees and wasn't sure what to do. Scott came and did a thorough inspection of the tree and surrounding soil, looking for cracks and asking about whether we saw the lifting on both sides or just one side of the tree. He provided helpful information in an easy to understand manner. He also provided helpful recommendations on other trees we could plant. He mentioned he had been to multiple conferences and discussed with me some of the pros and cons of redwood tree thinning, but said ultimately he believes the cons outweigh the pros for redwoods. Ultimately, he said if it was his house, he would remove the middle tree, the one lifting in the last wind storm, but leave the other two. He even thought that the other two may fill out and become even healthier with a little more space! It was very helpful to hear that he thinks the other two trees will be fine even after removing the middle one, even though their roots are likely connected. I am so relieved! I was very impressed with Scott and really appreciate his responsiveness, knowledge and thoroughness. read more

Fair Oaks Arborist - Three redwoods in our backyard. Scott came out right away and did a thorough tree assessment. - Tree Services Near Me

Scott and his team did a great job. Booking an appt for him to come assess our trees was super easy on his website, and the appt was very timely. We needed a rush job bc our insurance wanted to cancel our coverage bc of a large overhanging tree. We had him assess all the trees on our property and he made good recommendations and his crew followed through on the planned work. Even when we then needed a letter to document his tree safety assessment for the insurance company, he did it quickly and was well written. Prices were very competitive as well. Will be hiring them for future maintenance too. read more

The Fair Oaks Arborists helped us remove two large broadleaf privet trees in my backyard, as well as trim and shape my front yard trees. The privets had become unmanageable and were in awkward locations on our property, closely touching fences, a concrete patio, and a pergola. The larger privet's branches and canopy extended into all 4 of my neighbors' small backyards. The team showed up on time and was exceptionally professional. They were able to remove the trees quickly without any damage to the fences or other areas. They ground down and treated the stumps so they wouldn't grow back, then completely cleaned the sites of leaves and debris after the removals were completed. We're very happy with their work and highly recommend them. read more

Could not be happier with this company. Scott is great as well as his crew. Will definitely recommend to all friends and call again.

Scotty and crew were fantastic. They worked with me on schedule, the scope of the job and were pleasant to talk to. The rates were highly competitive for removing a redwood. Best part is that the were so careful and safe in the approach to the work. This was huge for me since the tree was right next to the house and pool equipment. I can't say enough good things about this tree removal company. Thanks Scotty and crew! read more

Fair Oaks Arborist - Tree Services Near Me

I needed a very large camphor tree removed. He was referred when another arborist was too busy. His crew did not grind the stump 8 inches as requested, left a 4 inch root at ground level which I had to remove. Initially he agreed to return to dig out a set of roots but kept putting it off. He then backed out after promising to prove date Thanksgiving week. read more

The neighbor's ginormous tree fell on our driveway and garage at 11:30pm during the huge storm on Sunday. They called Fair Oaks Arborist, who arrived at our house at 8:15am Monday morning. Scott and crew quickly got to work and the tree was cleared from both properties before noon. Not only was the tree completely gone, but they did a thorough job cleaning debris from our roof, driveway, and front yard. The whole crew was clean, polite, it looked like everyone was working hard. We'll definitely call them when we need our trees serviced. read more

Scott is the man! We had a stray kitten stuck at the top of our 86 foot redwood tree in the backyard and Scott came by on a Saturday right after we called. He put on his gear and climbed to the top to save a little kitty out of the goodness of his heart! He even cleared some dead branches and let us know our tree had split off at the very top. Can't recommend this guy highly enough, and I know we'll be keeping him in mind for any future tree care (or cat rescue) needs. Thank you Scott! read more

I tried to request a quote through Yelp and did not receive a response, so i called a couple days later and scheduled a time for an estimate. I texted him my address as requested. When the scheduled time came and went, I texted again to confirm, and never received a reply. I tried calling, but it went to voicemail. Might be a wonderful arborist, and based on other reviews, probably is. Unfortunately, I ended up having to go with another company and they were super responsive. read more

Scotty and his team hardworking skilled team of professionals who work fast and efficient. They come prepared and on time with all the tools and equipment to get the job done. They do a great job cleaning up and very respectful. Pricing is very reasonable. I will be using them for all my many future projects. Highly recommend Fair Oaks Arborist. read more

Scott and his team did an amazing job removing a very large redwood tree that was leaning towards our house. Would definitely recommend them. read more

I contacted Scotty to assess the health of one of my leaning oak trees and to get some of the branches trimmed away from my roofline. Scotty is very courteous and gave me honest advise on what he would do with the tree instead of pushing services that may not be needed right this minute. That being said, I hired him to perform the tree trimming. His crew got the job done quickly and performed excellent clean up when they were done. They were also very friendly and courteous. I like the fact that Scotty is a Fair Oaks local and will call him for my next tree service. read more

Company gives bad advice. Stated roots being removed would not kill tree. Tree died back after removing roots.

Scott provided great service ... he responded shortly after I called and came out yet the same day to look at my situation/project and give me guidance on how best to proceed. Communication was GREAT, he kept me posted via text on when he would be over to my house. Upon arrival, he respectfully and professionally gave me guidance on how to 'rescue' my stressed redwood trees and did not charge me for doing so. Without question, Fair Oaks Arborist is who to call if you need help with your trees! read more
