First time working with Natural Arbor Care. The staff is knowledgeable and skilled at their craft. The trees branches were trimmed by hand giving the trees a natural beautiful form. After the crew left all the fallen leaves and twigs were rakes and carted away. They get an A plus from me. I will definitely call them again. read more

This is based on our initial meeting; we haven't yet had work done. Charles (Chuck) is a 4th generation tree guy who impressed us with his knowledge of trees and how to prune them. He explained that he doesn't "top" trees to reduce their height, but carefully prunes back to a lateral bud that will grow naturally. His approach is more labor-intensive and his quote reflected that. Of the three arborists we spoke with, he was the only one to tell us why to move mulch away from the base of our trees and to include feeding our trees in his quote. I would feel confident having him work on our trees. read more

I needed my pine trees trimmed as they are looking so tall and heavy that they may be hazardous. Charlie and Charles came to give me an estimate. They were very polite and professional. They were very detailed in explaining how to trim the trees without over trimming or potentially killing the trees. Originally I wanted to cut off so much of this one tree that it would have killed my tree. I learned a lot about caring for trees from them. Charlie and Charles were the 3rd tree trimming company that came to give estimate and gave me estimate on the spot. The other 2 companies that came out before them were fine (also polite and professional) and provided estimates within couple of days. I went with Charlie and Charles because they took the time to explain to me about the job and went beyond to educate me about tree trimming. They generally care about trees and respect the nature, and know how to do the job I want without damaging my trees. Very knowledgeable! I originally wanted to trim 1-2 trees, and at the end I got 5 trees trimmed because I trusted they will do a great job. They trimmed, sprayed and nourished my trees and the outcome looks amazing! They even said to come back in 1 year to nourish my trees. Definitely recommend them! read more

I was calling around for estimates on getting my trees trimmed. Several different companies came out, stood on the sidewalk and looked at the trees I would like trimmed. They all then emailed their quotes. Natural Arbor Care arrived on time for their appointment. He talked to me about each tree, touched each tree and explain how he believes in keeping the trees natural. We talked about what was best for the trees - trimming and fertilizer. He gave me the best quote. I was very lucky that he had a crew in the area and my project was very small, so I received same day service. The 2 gentlemen who worked on my project, listen to me. They worked well as a team! They cleaned up everything beautiful. My 62 year old Holly tree and all my smaller trees were hand trimmed no machinery was used, just wonderful human talented arborists!!! read more

I had a tree fall to one side (trunk & roots intact) after the last big storm. Charles came out, gave me an estimate, told me precisely what they'd be doing, etc. The estimate was very high, but because they use hand tools versus chainsaw pruning, I felt like it was worth it. And it needed to be staked. Very expensive, but, this particular tree is a favorite of some really cool birds in my yard who will only eat under a canopy. Also, hummingbirds and bees come to it, so it was worth saving. They did an excellent job and cleaned up beautifully. Thank you! read more

Charles was not only quick to return my call, but I was lucky enough to have him do the job a few days later. I had in total 8 trees that needed trimming. Charles went through each tree with me to explain what he was going to do and how it would help the tree grow and look natural. True to his word the trees look magnificent without looking butchered. It is truly artwork. The price was fair and I'm thrilled that I came across Charles. I will definitely be using he and his crew whenever I have any tree trimming needs. read more

Called these guys up, didn't get an answer initially. About an hour or so after I called, a woman called me back. I told her about the work I need done and she scheduled an appointment to have someone come out and give me an estimate. Chris came out the next day, so the one star is for that, unfortunately he wasn't very prompt getting me his estimate. About a week after his visit, I got the estimate and it was outstandingly high for what I wanted done (see my review on Ben Ruiz Tree & Landscaping Contractor for more details on the work). I was offered a 10% discount but that didn't do much to bringing the cost down, especially after what I did end up paying to have want I needed done. I want to make sure everyone understand that Natural Arbor Care did NOT come to my house and do any work for me, so I have no idea how good or bad they might be at what they do. I do know that they are ridiculously overpriced and I would never ever hire them to do any work for me. The best advice I can give anyone is shop around. Don't go with the first people to come out and throw you a number. Often times it's bullsh**, crazy high and you will find someone who will do the same job, exactly the same way, with the same guarantees, for a much more reasonable price. read more

We've had Natural Arbor Care (NAC) come to our home 3 times now: once to prune, once to remove trees, and once to plant new trees. Each time they have exceeded our expectations. I very rarely write yelp reviews, so when I do it is only for very, very good or very, very bad reviews. NAC is very, very good. The crew works extremely hard, are very polite, punctual, and competent, and cleaned up everything when done. Each time, they went above and beyond the call of duty to help us out. I highly recommend NAC, and we are very satisfied customers. read more

Charlie Turner and his staff are very professional and a delight! Always dependable! He removed my tree in my front yard and replaced it with a better tree that didn't have roots growing out of control. This is important people! Your foundation and your yard will be happier for it. :)- I have used Natural Arbor Care for the last 6 years and have been extremely satisfied. He prunes my fruit trees and cuts my other trees on a schedule. Love it! Thank you Charlie!!! read more

I needed serious pruning in my backyard. I contacted Natural Arbor Care. Charles came out the next day for the estimate. He was detailed and very informative of what needed to be done. I really liked the fact that they Prune and not just take a chain saw to the trees. The crew was out within 4 days to do the work. Outstanding job! My backyard looks alive again! Thank you Charles and crew for an outstanding job! I have an arborist for life! read more

Guy is a bad actor. He talks a great game, very friendly and convincing but does worse than terrible job. Its get check and bail for him. He gets paid, then doesnt finish job and then argues with customer. I got taken for big ride very expensive. Dont use unless you want to be ripped off and get verbal promises and lousy results. read more

Like so many ofter reviewers I was very pleased with their service. Started off explaining that my tree had been neglected for many many years and that it would take a lot to make it look nice. In the end decided to have them remove it, which they did a fabulous job at doing. I'm sure it wasn't easy because there were some large branches hanging close over the fence and over my neighbor's house. They also took out a diseased tree in my front yard. They arrived on time and two crews. Each tackled a tree and were done VERY fast. I was amazed! read more

Outstanding!!!!! Charlie and his crew did outstanding work on a variety of trees. One pine in the back had several branches falling off. The crew cleaned the whole tree. Looks great and healthy. Did work on trees in the front yard which was also very well done; the whole house and garden look great. Here's the best part: totally reliable. I paid them the full amount on the first day, before they finished the rest of the work. My husband came home and got upset and said they would never return. But he was wrong. :) Sure enough, next day, Charlie and the crew were back to finish the work. Reliable, reasonably priced, courteous, professional (even after they had already been paid!). Can't ask for more than that. I would *definitely* recommend these guys. read more

Wow! These guys were great and were are happy to leave a very positive review! Even though they were closed today, they answered the phone and had two awesome guys here within less than 2 minutes. Very courteous and their service was excellent. We thank you very much and if we hear of anyone needing work, you will be the ones we send them. Blessings to you! read more

These arborists are great at what they do. I had them take down a dangerously dead 80' redwood tree and they had it down in no time. But was especially appreciated was their professionalism. They disturbed no other shrubs and left the work site completely clean. I would highly recommend them and will use them again. read more

We had some work done on a tree blocking views in the backyard. They are very professional. The two workers came with a foreman to supervise the job. They spent almost 3 hours here diligently working to get the pruning and thinning job done right. Norman moved from branch to branch like the pro he is. The estimate and final price for all the work was economical. I am glad I found this company via a Google search. read more

Charlie and crew are tree artists. All work done by hand. No chain saws. The tree looks natural after the trimming. This takes time and costs. If you have beautiful trees and care about them, this is your company. If you want them hacked go to the other guys. I have a forest on my suburban lot. Redwoods, Douglas fir, deodar cedars plus 20 more. You have to take care of your trees. Esp if your neighbors don't and their trees get beetles, you have to protect your investments of trees. They increase the value and livability of your home and they give us oxygen to counteract your carbon footprint. Not every homeowner has the sense of what to plant and where. But for real gardeners with a design sense, you need to get quality help for trees. These are 50 feet tall. I can't cLimb them and see what to do. Charlie can. He has a great eye for detail. Now my tall trees are safe against winds and storms and look terrific but still I have privacy. Charlie did everything plus that I asked. If you just want a tree chopped go to the cheap guys. If you care for your trees go to natural arbor care read more

I had an appointment for an estimate this morning with Charlie at 7:30am. I had to rearrange my entire schedule getting my toddler ready. HE NEVER SHOWED UP OR EVEN CALLED TO SAY HE WASNT COMING. I waited a half hour. read more

I love this company. They are such wonderful people! The dispatch person was very understanding of our emergency situation and got a team to come over within about an hour. They climbed right up our tree and took care of the situation for us immediately. After 17 hours my precious-kitty is now down safe again. THANK YOU HERMAN, SANTOS, JULIE and everyone at Natural Arbor Care! You are heros! read more

We have used NAC for several years for pruning and fertilizing our trees. Over the years I've seen all the trees become healthy, productive (we finally got lemons and mandarin oranges after 5 years of no produce), and beautifully shaped. Transplanted trees have survived and flourished. This year as an "add-on" we decided to prune and treat a large Palm tree (our daughter's next door.) Personally, I never liked the tree... they did a job beyond my expectations! Each day I appreciate how majestic a tree it is... and no more little palms popping up in my yard! Unasked they hand pruned (which is all they do) my oleander hedge. It looks natural and more pleasing than past years. Yes, their estimates may be high compared to most, but it's been worth it for the benefit of our yard. I agree with Eddie M. "Charlie and crew are tree artists." read more

Did a long, slow prune just as I wanted, like sharpening a pencil. Tree looks like new! Will certainly call back for the rest of the landscape. read more

Competitively priced, but what sold us was the clear explanation of the work to be done, the timely and documented estimate, and the strong sense that this was a competent and focused service provider. They arrived exactly as scheduled, completed that job efficiently, brought an arborist on site to spec the work to be done and verify that it was being executed properly, and left the job so spotless it looked better than it did before they started. Superior service all around, Strongly recommended. read more

Wow! These guys are great! I have a huge Oak tree and they did a great job trimming it. Charles is very knowledgable and explained what was going on with my tree and how to fix it. read more

Had a great experience. Charlie arrive and worked with us and our needs. On the actual tree removal day they started right on time and left the place better than when they got there. Not only was there no sign of the tree but no sawdust, mess, etc. Highly recommend them! read more

I've been using Natural Arbor Care for several years to maintain my trees. Charlie is an arborist and he knows the area trees and what to do with them. His crew does a fine job. read more

They desrve to be rated 7*, I called them on Monday October 8th 2012, my cat was stranded on the roof of my apartment building for more than 12 hours. I called the Fire Department; Animal Control, Humain sociatey, animal trapers, pest controls, you name it and I called with no avail. Then I called Charlie, not only he promised to be at my place in about 45 minutes but also gave me a very good rate. I was quoted with one of the companies that I called $ 345 to bring the cat down, redicously high, I nearly had a heartattack!! His men came, believe it or not, two people and two cars. They immediately and with professionalism started to climb the tree to bring the kitte down. I was very happy to meet Norman and Herman, both were very polite, knowing what they have to do and doing it right at the first time. So, I took the liberty to spread the word about their services to the wild animal trappers, as they need this kind of services and professionalism. I solute, Charlie for his kindness not to charge me, I think he felt I was devasted from the Fire Department personall behavoir towards me. Then I solute Norman for his supervison and guidance to bring the cat down finally I solute Herman, who climbed the tree with gentlness and got my cat and hand it over to me. Many thanks to all of you for your kind services. read more

Great service , I had gotten 3 quotes to have my large Japanese Maple trimmed . It had never been done before and with the drought last year and with the El Nino forecast i had deep concerns for the tree I choose Chris and Natural Arbor because I felt his knowledge of my situation was the best and his crew was great On time and very pleasant . His price was the middle of the road , but one thing that stood out was the "natural" feeding that was also going to given the tree once after trimmed and again in the spring . Everyone in my neighborhood always remarks on how beautiful this tree is and now it looks even better read more

I wish I could give a sixth star. I have had other tree services in the past which don't hold a candle to NAtural Arbor Care. It started with a quick follow up to my e mail inquiry by Charlie, a quick visit to my home and a very reasonable estimate. Charlie explained all that needed to be done and the crew did just that! Crew of eight showed up at 8 AM and the trees were pruned beautifully and extremely efficiently. Three days later they returned to prune a 100 foot eucalyptus tree up the hill from me and it was most entertaining to watch the same crew groom this giant tree. If you are needing tree care, give Natural Arbor Care a call. read more

Natural Arbor Care removed a dead Monterey pine, and a dying Monterey cypress, from our back yard. The trees were 80-90 feet tall, bordering two neighbors' property as well. The job was done in a bit less than 2 days. Their people were extremely polite, efficient, thorough and careful - even the neighbors (who had much of the larger tree dropped on their property) complimented the Natural Arbor workers, and said they would use them for any tree removal. And the job cost 20% less than one other bid, and 40% less than our second other bid. I would highly recommend Natural Arbor Care - great job at a good price. read more

Charlie at Natural Arbor really knows how to properly prune & care for trees. I use him for all my tree work. His crews are polite, hard working and clean up real good when they finish. They were very competitively priced. You won't be disappointed with Natural Arbor Care. read more

Charlie and his team are great! Fast, efficient, and reasonably priced! I've had several neighbors compliment our trees after getting trimmed, all 16 of them! The neighbors even commented on how courteous the team was (picking up the falling limbs in their yard and moving patio furniture if needed). I've already given his name to two neighbors! read more

I tried twice to contact them and didn't get an answer even a week later. Guess they don't care to have my business.

I signed up for the free mulch and they were a pleasure to work with through the entire process. The mulch covered my entire yard and was of good quality, exactly as promised. Both the driver and schedulers were flexible and accommodating. Great service, just be ready for 10 yards of mulch! read more

We hired Charlie and Natural Arbor Care to do work on several trees on our property, and they were fantastic. We had them take out about 4 trees, which was very fast. They also trimmed the branches around our power lines and lightened up the heavy thick branches that were blocking light into our second floor. The biggest job they did for us was on our 80 foot redwood tree. This tree was very thick and weighted down, and they did a great job thinning out the branches so the wind could blow through it. The tree was split at the top so they put a bolt in to secure it and make sure the tree doesn't pose a threat to our neighbors. We called Charlie on a Sunday and he came out for a consultation that day (yes, a Sunday). He worked within our budget and we arranged to have him and two crews come the next day- I couldn't believe how fast it was. The next day we had 6 guys going to town on our trees. After a day and a half, all our trees looked great. We now get a lot more light and the trees don't look so heavy. In addition, the team did a beautiful job of hauling out all the branches and cleaning up. I'd definitely hire them again, and have already recommended them to a friend who is also very happy with the work they did on her 200 foot redwood. read more

Integrity and expertise - these guys are hard to beat! I have been using Natural Arbor Care for three years now. They selected and planted new trees for me and have trimmed and shaped existing trees on my Sunnyvale property, including a priceless, 25-foot tall Japanese maple. They also do annual "maintenance" such as spraying for pest and fungus control. I had lost 3 gorgeous citrus trees (devoured by leaf miners and white flies) before Arbor Care came to my rescue. Charlie (the owner) is delightful to work with, coordinates everything, and keeps his excellent, skilled crew on schedule. They have always come on time, as promised, and completed every job better than I even expected. Of all my experiences with the crew, the one that literally brought me to tears (in a good way) was when I overheard (they did not see me) two guys discussing how big to dig the hole for a new tree. Let's just say they went the extra "mile" even though they didn't know I saw them. (I never would have known had they just dug a big enough hole for the root ball.) P.S. I have to give a special shout out to Herman who has babied my big Japanese maple through the drought and literally saved its life. You could not find better, more trustworthy and skilled people to take care of all your trees (existing and future). I recommend them 100%. - Lynell B., Sunnyvale, CA read more

Fantastic experience! Charlie gave us an immediate extremely affordable quote to trim back our trees and did everything he could to get the job done with one day's notice. The crew was skilled and checked in with us throughout the job. They cleared everything and the yard is immaculate! read more

Charlie (the owner) and his crew did a great job on the removal of three large trees. We spoke with him by phone the day before the work and he laid out his plan, and the following day the work was done. The crew was very responsible and the clean up surpassed our expectations. Everyone arrived on time to do the work on time and were ready to go to work. Charlie also took some time to speak with me about a neighbor's trees possibly being the source of some concrete damage to our property. He provided some good advice on how we might address the situation. This was at the end of the job when he arrived to make sure we were satisfied. It was an added plus to our work well done on the tree removal. read more

Called in the evening after regular work hours about a neighbor's cat stuck in one of our trees. Charlie called back and let me know he was checking with his team to see whether one of them could help. Within about a half hour, Herman came to the house. He went up the tree (it was dark by this time!) and after a some coaxing was able to rescue the cat. Both Charlie and Herman were great! I cannot speak more highly about their responsiveness, caring and professionalism. We have two large trees exceeding about 60 feet high in our yard and they will definitely be the ones we call later this year for the pruning that is needed. read more

I regret calling this company and would never in eternity ever call them again. . I got an estimate from Natural Arbor Care (NAC) , for pruning 2 pine trees and the estimator (I think his name was charlie) pumped up the estimate 4 fold by adding in "we can trim this, cut that" etc. I called and requested he do only the two -pine- trees and nothing else. He offered a few hundred discount on the total job. I said I appreciated the offer but only wanted the pine trees. He said he would only do the pine trees. I was not at home the day they did the work. I came home to find a voicemail with a request for payment. There was no invoice but the fellow wanted payment. absolutely nothing looked like it had been pruned . I requested the invoice for the work for my tax records. he replied he'd send the invoice after I sent the check. Then he emailed the dollar amount (thousands of dollars) and said he'd done trees and bushes and basically the entire pumped up invoice. I requested only the trees which was a much smaller $ amount. I don't have an invoice. read more

Wow, I'm shocked that there are no Yelp reviews yet for these guys, and I'm happy to be the first one! An extremely profession operation -- thorough, quick, efficient, prompt, and knowledgable. The previous owners of our house did a hack job on the Elm tree in the front, and it was also growing a little too close to our house/roof for comfort. This tree really needed some love, and within 24 hours I witnessed an amazing transformation from an ugly, sad, oddly shaped tree to one with a beautiful silhouette that I didn't know was possible. We found these guys from a Craigslist ad for free mulch (which we needed for the back yard) and the compelling bid for the work was well worth it. They even removed a fire-blighted pear tree for us, did a deep root feeding for the trimmed tree, and cleaned out our gutters! Transforming the way our property looks from the front --- these arborists are well worth it. read more
