I did alot of research before selecting a Tree Service company. I made sure they were licensed, insured, and carried workers comp coverage. Our large tree was in dire need of maintenance. We received a few estimates but Summit provided the most competitive bid. The estimator, Raul, was very knowledgeable & professional in describing the work needed. The following morning, the crew was prompt. They set up a safety perimeter on our street & completed the job with excellent results. The clean up was perfect including the neighbor's property. Great job! Hire them! You'll be glad you did. read more

Called Summit Tree Care to inquire about firewood delivery and they were able to deliver a 1/2 cord to my driveway the next day. Very friendly staff with free and fast delivery even when we were a 30 minute drive away. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking for firewood. read more

I called them on a Friday, they quoted me on Monday. They beat out the other 4 services who bid. Came two days later on a Wednesday, removed two trees and topped one. Cleaned up, brought two big new trucks and left everythig spotless. We will definitely use them again. Thank you Summit Tree Service! read more

I have used Summit nearly a decade ago and I was very pleased with everything. They are still GREAT! I called after a storm and expected a much longer lead time, but they sent a pleasant, knowledgeable arborist out quickly. The price was very fair and the crew showed up a few days later. They too were knowledgeable and hard working. I was extremely pleased with the results. They left my yard cleaner than it was when they started. I would hightly recommend Summit. read more

Summit Tree Service Fast, Reliable and Fair price. I had to remove two trees that were old and the drought had got to them. I contacted Summit Tree Service and made an appointment for an estimate. He showed up on time and his crew was working in the neighborhood and said he could take care of the trees the same day. Great service and very fair price. I have used them in the past and it was great to have the same sevice as always. Dan. Petaluma, Ca. read more

I own a furniture store in West Petaluma (Wine Country Fine Furniture), and our warehouse in in the back of our property. The roadway has 4 old, arching oak trees whose branches periodically hang down and interfere with the large 53-foot trailer delivery trucks. When we notify Summit Tree Care, they trim those branches that same day. Thanks, folks! read more

Summit Tree Care - These big boy trucks need the oak branch archway to be trimmed twice a year. - Tree Services Near Me - Petaluma, California

They came right away and took care of my broken branches and trimmed the entire tree for a decent price. And cleaned up great.

I switched to Summit years ago and they service all of our properties. They come on time, very fast, professional, and they clean up mess. What I like the best I'd they do with first and will not take payment until you are happy. read more

Just had Summit Tree Care just came out and trimmed/thinned six trees on our property. The work was done quite well. Trees looked good when they were done. They cleaned up all of the trimmings to make it look like they were never there. I will use them again. read more

Never got back to me. We had a large oak crash into our fence that we needed cleaned up. Called twice, got answering machine both times. First message I left received a response, but when I called again to make an appointment for getting a quote, I never heard back. Oh well. read more

Bob and his guys cleaned up a very old oak tree in me and my wife's backyard in Santa Rosa. With the recent storms and long winter, more and more small branches were falling off. I sent photos of the tree, we got scheduled and a quoted a GREAT price, and the guys came out, in the rain and all, and did the exact cleanup we asked for and cleaned up our's and our neighbors' yards of debris. Tree looks much better and is handling the wind with way less energy. Thanks, Bob! read more

I hired Summit tree care to remove a tree in my front yard. They showed up with all the proper equipment, removed the tree and ground down the stump. They cleaned up everything. They really did a great job. The best part, they had the lowest price by far. Some of the other estimates I got were twice what Summit charged. I cannot think what they could do any better for twice the price. Summit tree care really is outstanding. read more

They were doing some work on my street recently and the neighbor who hired them said they were absolutely the best. I'd already had an estimate for some tree removal, etc. from someone else, but decided to ask Summit for a competitive bid. They came in several hundred dollars under the other bid, so I hired them. The job required taking down and removing two large trees and trimming several more on a steep, sloping hill, and unfortunately, the day they came it hit a high of 95 degrees, and those 5 guys they sent were all wearing jeans, sweat shirts, and thanks to Covid-19, they even wore masks. Yet in 6 hours of extreme heat, they worked hard, they worked efficiently and tirelessly, they did a beautiful job, they couldn't have been nicer guys, they left the property spotless, and I'd use them again without hesitation. Wish I could find someone this good in every Yelp category! read more

Highly recommend Summit Tree if you are looking for quality firewood. Reasonable prices, fast delivery and first-rate customer service. Purchased a 1/4 cord that was delivered to our driveway less than two days after placing the order. Very satisfied with every aspect of their service. read more

Expert tree trimming and removal service. Cleaned up not only the mess they made cutting trees but left my yard cleaner than when they arrived. Thanks so much Summit Tree Care! Great job! read more

So I called Summit Tree care Tuesday of this week for an estimate on pruning my prized huge Japanese maple. He could come out the next day but I was busy so Raul came out Thursday at 10 o'clock on the button and asked if I wanted it done that day, and I said sure. Raul and his crew showed up at 12 o'clock and were gone by 1 o'clock and did a fantastic job Shaping my two story high Japanese maple Quick efficient and good pricing. I have found my new Tree Guy!! I will never use anybody else! read more

A BIG THANK YOU to Summit Tree Care from Petaluma for outstanding service today. Everything from the time I called, to having Bob the owner come out and provide us with a bid, to the tree removal today was amazing! The workers were extremely professional, courteous and quick. My yard is cleaner than when they got here. They even cleaned the pool! Please give them a call! This is our second time using them and we couldn't be happier! A fully bonded professional, and good value service! read more

Summit Tree Care - Excellent service yet again from Summit Tree Care in Petaluma. Call them, you won't be disappointed. They even cleaned the pool. - Tree Services Near Me - Petaluma, California

Not a big yelper but have been meaning to write this for a while. These guys are amazing. We had a big job to clear five acres in healdsburg area, and needed to make sure the area was fire safe for our family. They came within a week and did an incredible job thoughtfully clearing canopy and preserving the beauty of the land while making it safer. They also were 20% less expensive than our other quote. Will use them again for sure. read more

We've used Summit three times now in various locations in Petaluma. IN each case, we had large trees on our property that were not healthy and needed to be removed. Every time they have been so wonderful to deal with. They have great prices, they are efficient, friendly and hard working. We highly recommend them! read more

Was driving through my neighborhood over Labor Day time and out of the corner of my eye, five guys were pulling on something. Ll of a sudden I saw they were taking down a large tree. It fell right on top of the drivers side and front of my car. There was zero signage or any area cordoned off warning a tree would be falling in the middle of the road. After being freed out, I checked my card--told them they needed to have a person manning the roadway or signage at very least--and kept on to work. I called and emailed this business to zero reply. Not working safely..hope they have good insurance. Bad business practice. Review your SOP's Summit. read more

As a newer homeowner, taking care of a house is a new experience for me and my husband. A neighbor needs to replace a part of a shared fence, so my husband and I needed to remove trees along the fence line. After many estimates (and no call backs!), we found Summit and I felt at ease when Bob came by. He even offered to reduce the bill when we told him about other lower estimates we received. To help the crew, my husband and I put yellow ribbons on the trees that needed to be taken down so it would be easy to see the work that needed to be done. The crew arrived and went right to work. At the end, one of the crew members noticed a tree with a ribbon that hadn't been taken down. I looked at it and saw that it wasn't in the fence line, so I said it wouldn't be a problem. However, I didn't notice another tree that WAS on the fence line that had a ribbon on it...but hadn't been taken down. My husband called Bob, and the request to finish the job that we were paying for wasn't taken well. Bob told my husband that, 'Well your wife said it was okay' multiple times. True, but the fact was that a tree we needed taken down was not taken down. We learned there would be a 4% additional charge for using a credit card, which isn't legal, I found out later. (http://oag.ca.gov/consumers/general/credit_card_surcharges) We needed to schedule the additional work for a certain time the next day since my husband or I couldn't be there all day. Bob said all we had to do was leave a check for $100 more than the estimate under the door mat. We said we were uncomfortable leaving a check for $1000+ under the door mat, and Bob said that people did it all the time. And THEN, Bob asked us if the check was going to be good. (Really?) Bob came out to the house the next day and did the work. He didn't say anything when I pointed out the missed tree. He just grabbed a chainsaw and took the tree down in less than 15 minutes. After that was done, I told him I was unhappy with the comment about the check, and he apologized for that, but then he said that people asked him that same question all the time, and that "I shouldn't take it personally." I told him that sounded condescending. Bob asked me if it would be better to talk to my husband. (!) I replied that I was more than capable of handling this situation/conversation. He asked for an apology, and I didn't accept it. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth, which was disappointing as our yard needs work - and we were hoping to find a company and build a long-term relationship. He asked me what he could do to help and waited for me to suggest something, but at that point, I was hoping that he would offer something (a discount, a discount on our next project, etc.) -- and he didn't, which was disappointing. To sum up: The crew was great, efficient, and friendly. They cleaned up after themselves, told me they couldn't save the extra wood because it wasn't good, but offered to drop off any extra wood they got from other jobs in the area. I told Bob that his crew was fantastic. Bob, the OWNER, was disappointing, condescending, and seemingly unhappy that we called with a complaint. He questioned us about our concerns and our ability to write a 'good' check, telling me that I shouldn't take it personally that he asked. He asked me if it was better to talk to my husband than to talk to me when I voiced my concerns. All we needed in this situation was for Bob to answer the phone when we had a concern and say, "Hey, no problem, we'll take care of that tomorrow. When's a good time?" Upon arriving, he could have just said, "Oh, I see how that could have been missed, I'll take care of that." That would have kept things positive and we would have been happy to call them again. For thousands of dollars of work, I expect more from a company. read more

The only good thing about my recent experience with this company is that the estimate was done within a couple days of our request. After that its been down hill. On June 3, I called this company to accept their estimate and have the work scheduled. I was told Bob was making the schedule that day and I would get a call back regarding what day my trees would be trimmed back. 1 week later to the day- June 10, I finally received a call from Bob that they were a week out and I would receive a call a couple days prior to my work being done so that I would know. On June 25, I finally called them back and said that I had to have a date that next day or I was going with someone else. I got a call on June 26 after working hours that they would be out on June 29 if that would fit my schedule and to call them back. I called back and spoke to whomever is in the office and they said great fine, see you Saturday. Saturday, June 29 comes around and they are a no show. A NO SHOW. I haven't even received a phone call as to why or that they're sorry they didn't make it. This is horrible customer service and I do NOT recommend this company to anyone. Find someone else to do your work. I can't believe they are diamond certified by BBB. I'll be filing a complaint there as well. read more

I called them on Sunday had a return call that Monday and Bob came out on Thursday for the estimate. Hands down the best price in town and even had it been higher I would have hired them because he doesn't give off the I'm going to screw you vibe. We scheduled the removal, showed up on time knocked out the work and even removed at lot of dead branches on the side of my house that I had from a completely different project. That's what sticks out the most to me. The fact they did that and I wasn't expecting it at all. That was wow service to me. The yard looked great as if they were never even there. Disclaimer.... I've read yelp reviews for years but never wrote my own until now. Thank you for doing such a great job Bob. read more

I highly recommend cemetery service! I called them and they made it very easy to set up a time frame that works perfectly for me. They sent out the crew the next day to help remove a dead eucalyptus tree that fell on the property. They were actually early. They worked hard and fast and complete the job in under the amount of time that they couldn't before. Couldn't have asked for more A+ service read more

We have worked with Summit twice over the last couple of years for tree trimming and both times they did a great job and were cost effective. Usually, we end up paying more because customer service is important to us but Summit have managed to maintain their competitive edge as they have grown. We will be removing an aging tree soon and Summit again bid the right price, even though they were assured of getting the business. And you gotta love working with someone who likes doing what they do!!! read more

Just used Summit Tree Care for the second time and I will never call anyone else again. This company is absolutely the best - it is so clear why they are a Diamond Certified Company. They are profession. They arrive on time. They work fast. They do beautiful work, it is clear that they really know trees and how to get the most out of them. And their cleanup is exemplary. Hardly a spec of sawdust remained in my yard. And to top it off, I have found their pricing to be VERY competitive. Both times I have contracted with them I have gotten other bids and they were at least equal to the best pricing I have seen. But really, I would pay more to use them anyway - their work is simply that good. Highly recommended. read more

To start this review off on a positive. The office staff was very friendly and the estimate was done within a few days. The estimate was reasonable and we requested them to do it on the spot. During the estimate we were informed it would be a week and we would get a phone call. We did not so I called and left a message. We got a call back with an appointment for August 2nd. We waited all day for them to arrive and I called them at 4 pm. Again I left them a message and we have not heard back from them. I hope they rectify this soon. I hate to write bad ratings but this is poor customer service and unacceptable. Upgraded from 1 to a 4. Okay, so an hour after I submitted this review they showed up at the door. The lead guy apologized and they did a few extra things to make up for being a day late. They were polite and quick. They had the tree and some other items cleaned up and out within two hours. They left the place looking better then it did before they came. Very happy with their work. read more

Very happy with the services of Summit Tree Care, from start to finish. After interviewing 3 other companies we went with the larger Summit Tree Care as they could remove two large trees in less than a day. The employees were all professional and cleaned up the hillside after the removal. Relieved the trees are gone and that we hired Summit Tree Care! read more

We have a pesky walnut tree in our backyard that I'm getting rid of (the casings are making my dog very ill) and I called around to get quotes from a bunch of "high star" tree trimmers. Bob returned my call very quickly, and arrived right on time for our scheduled estimate appointment. He is extremely friendly, and just one of those people you get a really good vibe from. Not to mention, his price was very fair (a smidgen higher than some, and a lot lower than others). Ultimately I learned that a friend of a friend has his own tree-trimming business (licensed, insured, etc.) and he offered to do it for free. Needless to say, it's REALLY hard to beat free. However, if that wasn't available I would have used Summit and based on the fellow review I would not have regretted it :) read more

As yelped, I talked to Bob, I told him that we had a willow blow over. He was down here in Novato in an hour and his bid was unbeatable. They removed a big willow that had fallen in the wind, and cut down another big tree that was always a mess. It hung over the power lines and always made extra chores.....They cut up both trees and hauled off the entire mess! I thought it would be an all day job. They were here at 10 :00 am and gone by 11:15 am!!! We were 100% satisfied with the work preformed. I give four stars only because they put us off for a day, after we had confirmed, the day before ( for an emergency). Also because I do not have the option of selecting 4 1/2 stars. "Just keepin' it real." I am a 4+ star fan I willl use them again and I would highly recommend their service. read more

It took a few days before my call was returned, but Raul came as scheduled. He gave a very good estimate and did the job thoroughly. I will surely call him again. read more

Originally I contacted several tree companies for my redwood tree which had been dropping too many large branches on windy days. They came up with the fasted and best quote, did the tree in an awesome three hours, cleaned up everything and were gone! Later I was looking for a good price on firewood for my wood stove and again, including delivery they had the best price. I have purchased two times (half cord each) they are quick to schedule and on time every time! read more

These guys are great! Friendly staff, on time, and reasonable rates. We have a house in San Rafael that had a 70 year tree cut down due to illness. The stump needed to be removed. Not an easy job! These guys were in and out, and cleaned up after. All and all had a great experience. Definitely would recommend and use them again in the future. Bob the owner was easy to get a hold of and made sure the job was done right. read more

Raul and his crew did a great job with our trees. From start to finish - clear expectations, fast and professional. Highly recommend.
