Tree reviews in Martinez, California

We used SavATree to take out 4 trees on our property. 2 of them were extremely large Eucalyptus (130-ft tall), so this was a large job. Alberto was on top of everything and kept things rolling very smoothly. His crew, Gilberto & 2 others (can't remember their names) were so professional and courteous, we made them all lunch every day. Friday was BBQ! They were all just great. We cannot say enough good things about Alberto, his crew and SavATree.

Eric came for the initial consult and was wonderfully knowledgeable and helpful. He was straightforward about what did and didn’t need to be done and what I could and probably shouldn’t do myself. I never felt pressured or upsold.

We had a total of 5 trees, big and small ones, they needed to be cut, and that part was fine. However, they were supposed to trim the branches near the chimney. Instead, the crew cut them in a very rough and drastic way, leaving the tree bare and uneven. I am worried that they may never grow back normally. This could permanently affect the shape and appearance of the tree.

Hannah and her crew led by Joaquin did an excellent job trining 3 of our trees an oak, olive & grapefruit! The crew was very professional and detail oriented. They worked quickly and when finished left our yard cleaner than when they had arrived 👍🏻

The crew showed up on time and were professional and courteous. They knew exactly what was needed for the canary island palms. They were super efficient and done within a few hours. I would not hesitate to use SavAtree again.

5 Stars to Sav-A-Tree!
Timely first appointment to consult with the very professional and knowledgeable arborist Hannah. She offered to consult with another arborist for a second opinion regarding the best plan to preserve our 100 year old Pepper Tree (Schinus molle).
The estimate was detailed and within our budget. Work was scheduled and completed within a week: 7 large plants including an Oak, the Pepper Tree, a very large Hollywood Juniper, and an evergreen screen of Podocarpus and Native Strawberry Trees, all pruned as agreed upon + the yard cleared up within about 4 hours. The crew involved me in evaluating their progress from time to time: much appreciated. They are clearly very experienced, and never took off "too much": they carefully cleared oak branches engulfing 3 utility lines while preserving lower branches which screen our house from street-view.
Treatment for borers (Pepper) + Sudden Oak Death prevention were included in the estimate and are planned within the coming months.

First time I've tried this company and they were so much better than any other service I've used that I will never try another one. Rebekah, the arborist, was very knowledgeable and patiently answered my many questions. The crew lead, Joseph, was upbeat and easy to communicate with, checked in as they were doing the work to be sure all was being done to my satisfaction, and he left my property nice and clean. My trees are very happy now!

If I could give SavATree and their guys 10 stars ⭐️ I would! Absolutely the best service I’ve received for any service ever! These guys were so patient with all my questions and went above and beyond with their work. Left my trees and yard spotless! Cannot say enough about the entire team I worked with from beginning to end, would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for excellent above and beyond service ⭐️

We had some overgrowth from our neighbor's tree pushing on the roof of our detached garage that was becoming a bit hazardous.

The consultation appointment was easy to set up. Hannah came on site to assess and provided a real time quote, with a quick follow up for scheduling.

The team that arrived did an excellent job. They were quick and cleaned up as they went. Aside from our expertly trimmed trees, it was as if they were never here.

Highly recommended and I'll be using SavATree going forward.

The work crew from the estimate to the final clean up was very professional and knowledgeable about all the aspects of the job. They were extremely aware of and conscientious about the clean up in our neighbors yards that they had to use. The two man crew that did the removal was very efficient and thorough!!

Sean and SavATree did an outstanding job. I contacted three different tree companies to give me a price on pruning three large oak trees. As a standard practice I usually get at least two quotes for the purpose of clarifying the scope of work, understanding the companies qualifications and determining their quality of workmanship.

When I met Sean and he walked me through his qualifications as an arborists and he helped me clarify the scope of work. I knew he was going to be the company to do the job. They did an exceptional job at a fair price.

I highly recommend Sean and SavATree - They are "Best in Class"

Eric was awesome, can’t say enough! Explained everything about what my trees needed and why, and even gave me some advice on trees and plants outside the project. He took his time to give me a free estimate on all parts of my job, broke down the costs, and worked with me according to my budget. I have two giant cypress and have received huge estimates for work that didn't need to be done. I appreciate the honesty and great customer service. Happy to have found a tree guy for our house!

It was such a great experience! Katty was on time and she was the estimator for us. She was smart, kind and helpful towards our situation. It truly felt like she had her best interest at heart. Katty was open and honest about what the report would include. I highly recommend requesting Katty if you have the chance too !

I can’t recommend Eric from Save a Tree highly enough. When I noticed something wrong with our citrus tree, he responded quickly and came out to assess the situation. He identified a fungus problem right away and put together a clear plan to treat and save the tree. This isn’t just any tree. It’s been on our property for years and produces the sweetest oranges you’ve ever tasted. Family and friends literally ask us for them, and it’s become such a beloved part of our home. So when Eric told us the tree could be saved, it was a huge relief. What really stood out was Eric’s professionalism and knowledge. He knew exactly what he was looking at and explained everything clearly. If you’re on the fence about calling Save a Tree, just do it. It’s absolutely worth it to have a real Arborist who knows what they’re doing come take a look. We’re so grateful we found Eric!

After a period of high winds and heavy rains, the large pittosporum in our backyard starting to uproot and lean towards our home. We knew it would come down during the next storm. We frantically called arborists, but SavATree was the only one to pick up on Friday afternoon during the holidays. And we are so glad they did! They had a crew to out to our house first thing Monday. Everyone was fantastic and moved FAST. The large 40 feet tree was gone within a couple of hours and they left the yard spotless. The entire crew was friendly, helpful, and great at communicating. We are very grateful they responded so quickly and did such a great job. Now we have our go to arborists! 100% recommend.

We have 3 oaks that needed structural pruning and a couple trees that needed trimming.

Eric, Santos and Joseph really delivered a great experience from bidding to scheduling and getting the job done. The team was very accessible and responsive and checked in at each stage to make sure we were satisfied with the result.

My experience with this company was good. The arborist who initially came out to look at the tree that I needed to have removed, was full of information and good advice. They handled the project of getting the permit from the City of Oakland, and while getting the permit took some time, I'm quite sure that wasn't the fault of SavATree. This was a large tree and a two day job. The crew showed up on time, and the foreman gave me an accurate assessment of how long they would be working on both days. After the job was completed and the crew gone, I went out to inspect. The clean-up job wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good and what I had expected. I will get my regular landscape/gardener to do the more fine-tuned cleanup of the site.

The crew from Savatree are very friendly and experienced. Eric was great and did everything that was promised. I had a 45' tree they removed. They were done in half the time I thought it would take. They were very professional and did a great job cleaning up. I recommend them to anyone needing a tree removed.

I found SavATree to be super easy to work with. They quickly sent someone out to give me and estimate, and I could tell right away that they were knowledgeable about what my trees needed and how to properly prune them. They did a great job with all the pruning and cleaned up after themselves. The office staff were pleasant to work with too.

I highly recommend this company. I will definitely be hiring them for future projects. I had 3 huge palm trees cut down and a huge pine tree trimmed of deadwood, etc. I have lived here for over 35 years & this is only the second time I've had anything done to the pine tree. Hannah was a joy. Jose, Andre, Manuel and Hector worked so hard and were so pleasant. The price was very reasonable. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.

Excellent all around! EVERYone was knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Eric (the arborist) made the initial evaluation, gave thorough answers to my questions and emailed a solid estimate. The fertilizer & tree trimmer crews practiced safety and cleaned up after theselves. It was a good experience & I will hire them again!
