Albert Briseno is a genuinely nice and conscientious business owner, although he didn't always return texts or calls very quickly after his initial in-person bid. I attributed this to him being busy doing lots of jobs. His crew seemed well trained and efficient at tree removal, however they did damage a half-inch drip line when removing a volunteer tree. In hindsight, I should have flagged it for them. The 25% off discount that was given to me basically made Timberland competitive with my 3 other bids so my perception is that it won't matter whether you get the discount or not, you'll get a competitive bid either way. What I liked most about Timberland was their equipment all seems very new. Their chipper was brand new, as well as their large stump grinder. Important to know: one of the tree companies who gave me a bid could only chip branches and not larger trunks because their chipper was only 12". Timberland's chipper is 18" or more. They chipped my entire coastal redwood and, with their new machine, I got beautiful mulch! read more

Albert, Ray and their whole crew did a fabulous job giving me a fair estimate and showing up on time. They worked quickly and efficiently, cutting back my enormous Liquid Amber tree- and cleaned up everything before they left. I wish our gardeners were as good as Timberland Tree Service, and I recommended them to my HOA- and to the grounds manager at my work in Danville. This company delivers what they promise- and are very dependable. It was a pleasure to do business with them! Beth K. Walnut Creek read more

Albert and his crew did a great job in my Walnut Creek Property. Make sure you take advantage of his 25% off coupon....especially if you have a lot of trees! I was most impressed with the work they did on our oak tree in the back yard. It was the most expensive part of the job, but three guys spent the better part of a day removing dead wood and shaping the tree. It looks awesome! The only hitch was on the second day of service the chipper was delayed due to mechanical problems. They had to come back on Saturday morning with the chipper to dispose of the trimmings. Will use them again. read more

Timberland Tree Care did an amazing job! Albert came out and provided a quick estimate and I worked with Ray who was able to quickly schedule her team to come out and take care of all the trees on my property. The team got the job done in a few hours and the trees look great! read more

They were all we had hoped for. They did exactly what was agreed. I guess what I'm saying, I recommend them with confidence.

I had a great experience with this business. The office manager Rae was very helpful and efficient. Albert came out to look at my tree that blew over. It looked healthy so I wanted to try to save it. He agreed to try replanting it for me to see if it would take. Also trimmed another tree for me. At first I thought my tree would make it but alas it blew over again after a couple of months. I decided to have it removed. Albert came out and removed it for me right away with no additional charge. Hated loosing my tree but my experience with Timberland Tree was exceptional. read more

My neighbor and I have used this firm about three or four times each and each time Albert comes is a joy to be with, gives us a lot of good insights and advice and the crew is always on time does a great job and cleans up after itself pretty well... Recommend giving it a try! read more

Wow ! What a great company. I have an 250 yo oak tree, they shaped it beautifully and now I know it's healthy ! They were on time, very neat and so safe. I recommend them to my neighbors, friends and family read more

Just had these folks remove one huge eucalyptus tree and trim another one. Albert came out and provided an estimate and recommendations for service. The crew was very professional with high quality tools and equipment. The trees had very large branches that had to be cut very close to structures and they did it safely with skillful rigging techniques. Ray reached out and managed crew scheduling and communicates very clearly each step of the way. Great business and very competitive pricing. read more

They always say get three quotes. I got four. Timberland was not the lowest, or the highest. I'm so pleased I chose Timberland! Albert came out and knew what I needed. Rae, the office manager is fantastic. The work crew... excellent. If you need tree work, you must call Timberland. read more

Timberland did a great job for me. I told them I had an emergency and they came out the same day and took care of the problem. Rae, the manager, was very courteous and helpful. The crew member was professional and knew what he was doing. I would call them again for the next job, if I have one. read more

After getting 5 bids, Albert was the last one. I was desperate to get a nuisance tree removed and one trimmed. We're talking huge job, Big League! Albert showed up as planned and gave me his bid. He even told me that he could have a crew there the next the next morning if I wanted his business. Albert gave me options to save $$ which i always like. He wrote up his bid and one I couldn't pass up. I said ITS A GO!!. The crew showed up on time with (9) workers and nice equipment. These guys got right to work. One guy didn't even get out of the tree to eat. His food was literally hoisted up to him via a rope! My family and watched them work and I must say they exemplified what it means to work hard and not bitch about it! These guys worked all day long without a break. True professionals. The job was completed and they left the yard in better condition than they found it. So stoked and satisfied about the service. read more

I am wondering if this business is actually real. After having a few conversations with their office me finally with Albert, Albert visited my house and assessed the situation. I was supposed to get na estimate that day. The next day. The day after. Almost 2 weeks and a half dozen phone calls later to the office and to Albert and nobody will return the call. Not sure I've been in a situation where a customer is actively trying to give you business and you do everything you can to not take it. But that's what happened. Too bad as he seemed knowledgeable regarding the trees condition relative to others who have looked at it. But the business has disappeared into the abyss so best of luck if you go their route. read more

Timberland Tree Care did an AMAZING JOB! The beginning of February 2015 the rain came down hard in my area, causing 6 dead birch trees in my front yard, to break and crumble towards the top. The remaining branches on the trees were dangerously close to crumbling on to our neighbors roof and our cars in the driveway. Albert was the first of four companies to respond and came out to look at them that evening. I found his estimate was fair and he scheduled the job for the following morning. He and his crew followed my requests to the letter. Huge Thank You for coming through for us!!! I apologize that it took so long to let you know. I will use their services in the future and HIGHLY recommend them. A Very Satisfied Customer, Beth in Lafayette, CA read more

I can't give Timberland any review because, of the many times I called, they were always "out of the office" and never returned any of my requests for a return call. Never, never. And those calls I made were to their posted number, 925/300-1114 read more

Thank you so much for the excellent work on our flowering Pear tree. If you were looking for a picture of a perfectly trimmed and shaped tree it's the tree your crew recently finished at our house. If anyone in wants to look at your work, I'm glad to have them ask you for our address. read more

I received a few quotes to prune an oversized tree and decided to go with Timberland Tree Care. Albert was the one I was in contact with. He was friendly and gave me a great quote. The only gripe is the response time. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to get a reply while others reply within 24 hours but overall they still did a good job read more

Timberland came and removed a large pine tree that died over the winter. It was a two and a half day job. The crew worked methodically and carefully, bringing down each piece so it wouldn't hit the house or destroy the backyard. They cleaned up well after each day's work, putting every limb through the woodchipper before they left for the day. Even the trunk went through the chipper! The crew arrived promptly each day and didn't waste any time. It was all business. They knew what they were doing. This was not a crew of day laborers or amateurs. The best part? They saved us almost $1,000 over bids we got from the "big" guys! read more

Completely happy with Albert and his crew! Great response to our first call for an estimate. Scheduled the job quickly, on time, professional and for a very fair price. We have over 15 trees that desperately needed to be trimmed. 5 of them being VERY tall redwoods. All the trees look great and can now continue to be healthy :). Highly recommend Timberland Tree Care!! read more

Albert and his crew were FANTASTIC! As an arborist or perhaps just a tree aficionado ... Albert expressed genuine appreciation and thought when it came to my tree concerns. We have what feels like a forest for a backyard and a ginormous Oak that nearly blankets our home. He and his team were efficient, clean, and thoughtful. Given our surroundings, we have officially adopted him as we anticipate we will need his advice on many, many things going forward. Thanks Albert! read more

Albert from Timberland was wonderful. He came over for the estimate the same day I called. His crew showed up on time the next day and trimmed three trees. They were professional and timely and when they left my yard was spotless! Would recommend Timberland to anyone! read more

10/22/2018 Had this amazing crew at my house cutting back major Walnut Tree branches as well as several trees and Pyracantha over grown bushes. They did a good job and worked hard all day. Although their bid was a bit higher than my other bids it was thorough and detailed as to exactly what work was to be done. A bid from a competitor simply said cut trees per our conversation...that's not good. Both Albert and Ray were nice to deal with and the crew showed up on time and did so much work in just one day...impressive. They lead trimmer checked in with me several times during the process/day if he questioned anything in order for me to clarify. He also made suggestions on what would look good and at what height to cut bushes. Everything was cleaned up and hauled away by the end of the day. I would definitely recommend Timberland Tree Care if you have trees or bushes to cut or over grown bushes. I have attached before and after pictures. read more

We were long (long!) overdue to trim trees around the perimeter of our yard and they had grown quite tall, quite full, and quite beyond our capability to maintain them. After getting three estimates, we chose Timberland because Albert clearly knew what he was doing and what we should do. It turned out to be a great choice. The crew arrived promptly this morning and the first thing they did was take down the market lights that I had overlooked but were sure to be thrashed by falling limbs. Then they climbed, cut, dragged, and shredded for the bulk of the day, checking with us periodically to ensure we were satisfied with where they had cut certain trees and taking direction easily when we opted for more trimming. Finally, they cleaned up everything - limbs, leaves, sawdust - and replaced the market lights. Great service all around. read more

I used Timberland Tree care for the first time after I received a flyer in mail and decided to get a second bid. I'm delighted that I had them do the work They exceeded my expectations and at a significant savings. Albert the owner assured me that his Company could complete the work safely and to my satisfaction. I must admit that I was hesitant as this was a beautiful 90 year old cedar tree. A crown reduction was completed and the Tree thinned and shaped so that it would survive wind storms as well as look symmetrical. I also had him trim my back hedges and they have never looked so good. His crew was great and they thoroughly cleaned up after the work. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, honest and fair deal give them a call. read more

Albert and his crew do a great job. They cut down a huge RR tree for me and ground the stump. That went very well. Albert did take the stump down to below the ground level but when I tried to dig holes in the area for new plants, all I hit was wood. I called Albert. He drove out here right away and he will be doing some more grinding tomorrow. That is SERVICE above and beyond. read more

They came out and removed a tree that had limbs falling down the same day. The men were quick and efficient. It was a two day job, but they took down the taller portions and the most dangerous limbs first. They then came back the next day to remove the remainder of the tree and to clean up all debris. They did a amazing job with a very short turnaround. I highly recommend them. It was truly a pleasure working with Albert. read more

We had never had an arborist or timberland tree care work on our yard before but it was well worth it. Responsive and reliable. Excellent job thanks to you and your team. Will definitely use you again when needed. read more

Timberland tree care was exceptional. They are highly professional and do a great job. Albert came out in a timely manner and gave us an excellent estimate. Rae was such a delight to speak with on the phone. They really know what they are doing.The job was trimming and shaping trees that have not been done in many years. It was a two day job and the crew was just great. They asked what I wanted done how I wanted it done and complied with all of my wishes. I would hire timberland tree care in a heartbeat they are the best and they care about you. read more

Timberland removed a large Eucalyptus tree from my yard had roots there were beginning to impact our house and neighbors yard. Ray and Albert took great care of us. The crew showed up on time each morning to tackle the job, and got it done! As could be expected with removing a large tree, a lot of dust and shavings were produced -- but the crew did a great job of cleaning up the site when all work was done, as well as replacing fence panels that needed to be removed for them to have access to the tree. They left the site as they found it. Ray was a tremendous help and very responsive whenever I called with questions through the process - she was very thorough in her communications and everything went as described. Tremendous job! Great crew! Great work! read more

Albert and his team are great! We had a huge fallen tree in our backyard that spilled into our neighbor's yard, and they took care of it quickly and professionally. They arrived on time and the price was reasonable. read more

Not only did they butcher what had been lovely Sycamores, but they did it at the worst possible time, right at the start of the rainy season, subjecting them to pests & disease spores. Timberland's claim of "licenced" "experienced" arborists is a farce. They're happy to take my 80-yr-old landlord's money to subject his trees to disease without even following his instructions (trimming off a couple dead limbs). The workers had no idea what my landlord's request was and hacked off healthy limbs till the trees looked like beanstalks. When I wouldn't let the workers damage a third tree, Timberland's owner, Albert Briseno, said he would charge my landlord anyway, an absurdly high price. When I called Albert to complain, he was "too busy" and hasn't bothered to call me back. This is their "100% satisfaction" guarantee? Buyer beware. read more

Had Timberland trim two trees on our property in Danville. Alberts team did a great job. Quick, courteous and cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend them. read more

Got several estimates on a HUGH tree I thought was dead, but Albert said it just need some pruning of dead branches and removal of an elm growing up through the sycamore branches and he agreed to move the fire wood stored in the yard by previous owners and made mulch of everything! I got enough to cover all my yard to save water and protect the trees. The crew was wonderful, and cleaned up everything. Albert says he wants to do such a good job that we will be "a customer for life" - well, with over 50 trees on our lot and their great service I am sure we will be. read more

I have a HUGE oak tree in my back yard in clayton that needed a serious pruning. I found Timberland Tree Care in Home Advisor so I gave Albert a call. He came out the next day to give me an estimate. For what he needed to do I thought it was more than reasonable. He not only did a terrific job on the tree but his crew also picked up a bunch of leaves and broken branches at no additional charge. I would highly recommend him for anyone in need of a tree service. read more

I recently had a very large oak tree start dropping large branches on my house over Labor Day. Timberland was the first to call back. Was extremely helpful over the phone and got Albert out first thing tues after Labor Day. He assessed the situation delivered a quote on the spot which was very reasonable. Called office and the scheduled us first thing the next morning between 8&9am to remove the branches that where an immediate threat. They where also going to call back that evening and let us know if they would add on the rest of the work we had added to maintain the other oak trees on the property. Then came the first issue. No call back that evening on status of remaining work. Roll into next morning, as I shrugged off the added work as my immediate issue was the broken branches that had not yet fallen. However 8 rolled into 9 and no show no call. I called at 9:10 no answer so left message. Tried again at 9:30 and again at 9:45.no answer, no return call, no show. should have really paid attention to the reviews that where changed as the first complaints seemed to be no shows. The 4 1/2 stars are a bit misleading I am updating my review and changing to four Star review. The company has heart and does their best to get it right. If not they strive to make it right. Just be a bit patient with them and you will come out with a good job, at a good price, with a company that strives for satisfied customers. read more

These guys are incredible. Crew showed up and within 15minutes began the pruning job. We had a total of 8 trees that were in need of major pruning and thinning. Their arborist(Albert) came out first and determined exactly what was to be done. The end result is we now have more sun and light in our front and rear yard. What an amazing transformation. Couldn't be happier with the work and cleanup done by the Timberland Tree Care Co. We will definitely be recommending them to all our neighbors. read more

What a mess! Our neighbors across the street used Timberland. They left a huge mess in the street and in front of our home after clearly blowing their debris across the street. Our vehicles were covered. Really unprofessional to just move the mess elsewhere without any consideration to the neighbors. We will never use them. read more
