We had to have two of our HUGE sycamore trees cut down due to an unexpected incident... Tree of Life was contacted by our neighbor and the guys came out and did a wonderful job at getting the trees down safely and successfully. I left to drop off my daughter at school and run some errands and by the time I got back my youngest daughter was completely asleep in the back. I got out of the car, got her out and they noticed she was sleeping so the guys called out to shut down the equipment. They let me pass on by with my sleeping baby and waited till I was inside to start up the chipper and chainsaws. Talk about amazing considerations. They talked with me about what the plan was, where things would go and what they'd be doing throughout the whole day. And also carefully cleaned up after themselves! We are sad to see the trees go, but so happy that a well thought out plan was made, and a great group of guys out here for the job. Thank you for your amazing customer service. I will recommend this company to everyone! read more

Three years ago we had them "trim" a 60 year old Sycamore that shaded our kitchen and dining room. A. crew of kids came to do the clean up, which was a good job but, the kid with the chain saw on the truck boom who was up where I couldn't really. see what he was doing. After I paid them and they left, I walked out to where their truck was to see the tree and was shocked at the terrible. job. That gorgeous tree was cut straight across the top with some scraggly branches still hanging over a drive around out house. I sent pictures to the owner and I want him to know after THREE years it has still not grown at all. It is dying with only a few leaves on it. read more

Professional and tree-care/pruning-knowledgeable. I have a gorgeous 30-year old crepe myrtle tree in my front yard; we've kept it healthy and well-trimmed. Crew was on-tme and did a great job! read more

There are hucksters in plumbing, electrical trade , even in the arborist industry. I hired these guys recently to come to my home for tree trimming and removal. Right from the beginning the crew arrived 50 minutes late at 9:50 am. They consisted of a foreman n 3 other workers who worked as slow as molasses and I had to constantly intervene to tell them what to do. They worked for approximately 2.5 hours then took a 30-40 minute lunch break, about an hour later they took another 15-20 minute break. It was about 96 degrees ( dry heat) but they were all young so no excuses. This unconscious worker aimed the chipper debris nozzle towards the Southeast corner of my home blowing wood chips n dust all over the corner of my deck. I had to go down n tell him to redirect it down the hill in the opposite direction away from the home. It took me 2 hours to clean off the deck n South side of the home. The four men quit work at 4:30 pm and did not finish the whole job as promised by the owner Mr. Bill Speer. I was expecting -7-8 hrs worth of work but get less than 6 hours I paid Mr Speer 1/2 of what I felt the value of the job I received was worth; however Mr Speer called me the following day n demanded I pay the remaining 50% balance or he was going to place a mechanics lien on my home! I received no apology for the chipper error or his lame crew underperforming on the job! My advice " Cavert Emptor" - user/ buyer beware this is another " Oroville Milker Company which is business/ profit centered n not customer service oriented or centered. I located another tree service company ( his name begins with an R) in oroville , which was professional, went beyond the call of duty, 2 guys that got more done than their 4 in half the price and 1/2 the time They even cleaned up behind themselves" read more

The owner showed up on time to give an estimate, the crew showed up the next day on time to perform the work. They were very respectful and hard working. I've used Tree Of Life several times and have always been happy with the results felt like I was treated fairly. read more

Just about as good as it gets! Called for an estimate on a dangerous tree removal on a house I am renovating. Bill visited and gave me an estimate on a Saturday. It was a dangerous tree and had to come down quickly because of an impending storm.. i said "do it".. He did.. a day later! I rolled by and his crew was working away. Very professional.. You could tell they had been at it for years. When the removal was done, Bill called and I gave him my credit card number over the phone.. he emailed me a receipt within the hour. We never met! Didn't need to.. He was a solid professional that did exactly what he said he would, and communicated with me every step of the way. Highly recommend! read more

My Parents had a fallen tree in their backyard resting on my dads' 'ham shack'. Spoke with Bill Speer. He gave them an estimate, my parents agreed. He then demanded the entire $900.00 UPFRONT!!! Being very elderly (92 & 85) and with no family in the area to help, they felt they had no choice except to pay him. Bill and his boys only did half the job and then proceeded to inform my dad they would not bet coming back. After several attempts trying to get ahold Bill to get the job finished, my dad has had enough. Contractors State License Board, here we come. read more

Tree crew was amazing. Very professional, kind and showed great worth ethic. 5 plus stars for them. The office staff? Not so much. Tree work was scheduled to be done at 2pm on a certain day - we had to coordinate with our neighbors as we needed access to their property to reach our trees. Imagine my surprise when I returned home from an errand to see the tree crew in my neighbors driveway (with the gate locked) and already at work! I literally had no way to get a hold of the neighbors to ask them to open their gate. When I called the office to explain the situation, Kayla (receptionist?) was basically "too bad, so sad". She said they were booked out months in advance and this morning the crew had been split up to get more done. That I needed to figure out how to get the neighbors gate open, that the crew could not come back! They knew we had an access situation and they should have called before just showing up to a job site 5 hours earlier than scheduled. I had back to back meetings for work and having to deal with their screwup was not an ideal morning. Unsure if we would use this company again - like I said, the work is great and the crew was awesome...but the scheduling and attitude from the office was a HUGE miss for us. read more

I am the manager of a MHP. I had this company come out and take two trees out. WOW! These guys are GREAT!! The crew that came out worked well together, were fast, friendly, and very safety conscious. They cleaned up after the job was done and gave me a great price!! I will be calling them again!!! read more

I have used Tree of Life before and have always got good service. I had a tree come down in my backyard in a December storm. Called Bill at Tree of Life. He came out and gave me an opinion on the down tree and another that was dead but standing. We came to an agreement and set a date. I had to be out of State over the Holidays. The work was done on time. The clean up was great. He even piled aside the wood suitable for burning in the fireplace. When I returned I noted the uprooted portion of the stump was still in the yard. I wasn't sure if this was part of the agreement or because of wet ground making removal hard on the lawn. I placed a call to Bill and left a voice message. Two of his crew were there in 15 minutes! They carried the stump out of the yard, loaded it on a truck and were gone! All our business was done on a handshake. I trust Tree of life to provide great work in an honest manner. read more

We hired Tree of Life to come and remove two trees. Not only were they prompt and professional, they also did a great job cleaning everything up. We will definitely be calling them back for the next round of tree removals. Highly recommend! read more

Most terrible service of my whole entire life. They were supposed to come on a Thursday afternoon to my property that I don't live at to cut down a tree and grind the stump and trim my other tree. They were supposed to be there around one so I unlocked the gate so they could get in. I told them to call when they were about done so I could lock up and pay them. No call. I went there at about 5:30 to check on them to make sure everything was alright. Trees are untouched. I called them to see what was going on. They said their guys got stuck in paradise and no one could get ahold of them so they were sending someone up to check on them so they would have to get to me tomorrow. That was okay I wasn't happy that I didn't get a call but it was ok. Then they never came the next day. They called a week and a half later to schedule me for another week out. This time they came everything seemed fine. The office calls for payment so I go check my property they didn't grind out the stump like they were supposed to so they sent them out again. Now that leaves are on my remaining tree I can see they didn't even trim it like they were supposed to. Terrible, terrible, terrible. read more

They took down a 30 foot pine tree for me this past spring. (sorry I waited so long to review!) The crew prayed before starting the job, and worked very efficiently and safely. The were the best price of the bids I solicited, too. read more

I have used these guys numerous times and they do a great job and clean up afterwards! I almost didn't call them back this last time when a few branches were missed, but I'm glad I did, because they came out immediately and made it right and thanked me for bringing it to their attention! I can certainly recommend them. read more
