My name is Allan Royce. I am on the Tuolumne Lumber Jubilee committee . This year we were having problems securing logs for the show which is June 28. I reached out to local tree services, and Chris at Proper Pruning responded almost immediately. He informed me that he had all of the logs we would need, and that we can have whatever we needed. Chris and his company Proper Pruning is now a cherished sponsor of the 77 th Tuolumne Lumber Jubilee, and we hope to work with him in the future. All of us associated with the Jubilee greatly appreciate his willingness to come to our rescue. I have been in logging all my life and have seen the work done by Proper pruning and would recommend this company to anyone needing tree work. read more

Proper Pruning never disappoints!!! They are fantastic to work with! Chris & Jolene have always been reliable, prompt & provide great service. And not to mention their crew that is always top notch. They clean up after themselves and are great workers! We have been using them since we moved to Arnold in 2020 & have always been impressed! read more

Proper Pruning Service of Murphys California is a civic minded organization with competent employees and good work ethic. They recently completed tree removal at the Douglas Flat Schoolhouse, a historic building near Murphys California in Northern California. The Schoolhouse is a community meeting hall for local organizations run by the Douglas Flat Community Center, a non-profit organization. Proper Pruning donated their efforts to remove large trees in the path of construction and blocking the view of our historic building from Main Street. They worked efficiently and cleanly, removing everything without a trace left behind. DFCC is grateful for their generous and competent support. read more

Proper Pruning did great job bringing down two trees. We have a fenced yard and septic tank leech lines to consider and they did their job with precision and left our yard clean. All the guys on the job were professional. read more

I don't know what went wrong for the previous reviewer, maybe they're under new ownership, but we found Chris to be prompt & diligent. Our dealings with him recently were very professional and we're more than happy with the results. read more

Unreliable! Said he would come out that same day to look at trees. I was impressed. Then he did not show up...no phone call, nothing. I called the next day to offer another time as he apparently was detained and he could come by or call anytime that day.... I have never heard back from him! read more

We had Chris come out to remove several dead trees on our property and neighbors. Obviously these guys are very busy with the dead tree removal in Arnold, but patience paid off! The workers were efficient, friendly and very neat. One would never have known they were there afterward! Also, Chris gave us a very fair price to have the work done. I would highly recommend Chris and his crew! I'm giving four stars because I did have to sit tight to get on their busy schedule! read more

Great company to work with! Our area has been devastated recently with the bark beetle infestation, and they have made a great effort to try and keep up! read more
