Tree reviews in Martinez, California

Very professional. It is obvious they understand how trees should be trimmed to best advantage: health of the tree, shade and shape. We’ve been using them for a few years now.

They did a great job trimming dead branches safely on a few really large trees, which were close to homes. They cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. Very pleased.

From the first phone call to the end of the job, everyone in this outfit was efficient, organized, neat, prompt, professional. We had 25 yr old plus redwoods removed to restore view and rid them of the multi-trunks; branches trimmed up to get them off roof; huge oak tree pruned.

Can you imagine working threat of being shot with a 357 weapon by some neighbor while working next door? Traverso Tree Service crew did...I am more than satisfied with the work done on my trees by TTS.  Your crew was professional.  Praise to your foreman and the men on the job for their diligence.  They were courteous in the face of threatening verbal abuse from a neighbor and avoided conflict. The neighbor called the police and posted unkind remarks on Yelp regarding your company. When the police arrived to interview and document the incident, it was clear there was no trespassing or damage to his property. Of course, he was not there when the police arrived, but the officer was familiar with the "complaining disturbed" neighbor. The job was finished as promised on the work order.  I am pleased and highly recommend TTS!
Hire them if you want a job well done!

Fantastic, professional service. Raphael (certified arborist) gave us an estimate that involved removing much less of our trees than "some other guy" resulting in preserving them perfectly! He even came out on the day of the work to ensure it was done the way he wanted. All of the crew were professional and courteous. Highly recommended.

Traverso has been taking care of my parents trees as long as I can remember and now that I have my own home with trees to maintain I can see why it was Traverso doing the work for all that time. They're knowledgeable and professional, friendly and informative. Plus they take great care of their workers. You wont find a better company to work with.

We just used Traverso Tree for the first time, we had a fallen Acacia, and much overgrowth and some safety concerns with many of the trees on our property, we requested haul away services too, it was a two day job, but they were so quick and professional, they even swept and blew away the excess saw dust. They did a great job, and I would absolutely use them again and recommend their services. I wish I had more before and after photos but I'll post what I can. The trees that they thinned looked so natural, they were careful to not drop any trimmings onto the neighbors yards, even when they had to move our neighbors planter to get the crane in the driveway, they remembered to move everything back where it was. That level of consideration and care is so rarely found. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

I got bids from five different vendors for the removal of seven trees, all of which were more than 60 feet tall. Treverso was actually a bit more expensive than three of the others, but I chose them for two reasons.

First, a very knowledgable certified arborist named Rhys gave me a written bid 10 minutes after he arrived. The other four vendors said they would send me a bid the next day, but it generally took them 3-10 days to get me a bid.

Second, and more important, Traverso ground the stumps down 18" below the surface of the ground. The others ground stumps down about 4-6".

My decision turned out to be a good one and I recommend Traverso without hesitation.

They brought a crew of five guys, two huge cranes, a huge wood chipper that devoured limbs, and a very large, remote-control stump grinder. I'm sure they also do much smaller jobs, where guys climb trees with chainsaws, but my trees were huge and the equipment matched the job.

They would wrap a chain around the tree limb about 2/3 of the way up, and then cut off the branch at the point where it intersected the trunk. The huge crane would then move the 40+ foot branch directly to the chipper, where two guys fed it into the chipper, with the chain still attached for more than half of the limb. They took down seven trees in less than 5 hours, and ground the stumps down 18 inches, as promised.

Another thing in their favor: I had one stump that was surrounded by shrubs. I should have removed the shrubs before they got here (we are relandscaping the entire yard), but I didn't. The shrubs prevented the stump grinder from removing the center of the stump down as far as they promised. It looked OK at the time, but after the landscape crew cleared out all the shrubs two weeks later, we discovered that the grinder missed some of the stump. They came back and took care of it, at their expense.

Traverso is a first class operation. I learned from the crew that the company has been around for more than 30 years while the owner, John Traverso, is retired from leadership. he still trains people, and most of his employees have worked for him for years.

Traverso was not the least expensive, at least in my case, but they did a fabulous job and I would not hesitate to use them again.

Hands down the best service and best professionalism in the industry. The owner and the crew are the best people you can deal with for all your services. Strongly recommend better city tree services

I've used David several times and he's alway comes thru. He is the business you want to go with for your tree needs .His personal are professionals and courteous at what they do ....need I say more.

We were very impressed with this Company! They did a great job when they said they would be there in a timely manor and cleaned up after themselves and did it for a fair price. Very Happy .

The second time just yesterday SUNDAY EVENING IN THE DARK WHILE RAINING WE HAD A HUGE OAK TREE FALL OVER BLOCKING OUR 300 FT DRIVEWAY WHILE WE HAD OUR WHOLE FAMILY AT OUT HOUSE FOR A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE THERE IN ONE HOUR AND THEY CAME IN EXACTLY AN HOUR ON A SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE RAIN. THEY CLEARED THE HUGE OAK
TREE TO ALLOW OUR FAMILY TO BE ABLE TO GO HOME BY 9 Pm. This the second time we used them and they were fantastic and cleaned up beautifully again! OUR WHOLE FAMILY THINK THEY WERE OUR HEROS. CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM. Sooo appreciated and a very fair price.

Excellent Job!!! Team worked so well together communicating to safely & carefully bring down some pretty big trees in our back yard. Thank you for all your hard work!!

David's team did excellent work trimming the trees on my property on multiple occasions, and also removing some trees. I highly recommend them.

The staff were prompt, professional and did a thorough tree job. Great clean up and very friendly. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend.

5 stars, professional, understanding & does great work.

Professional in every facet. David Gallo smart, honest, and has not disappointed me in twenty plus years of tree service AND construction jobs. Deserves five stars and more.

I loved this!! The owner David was super nice and im
glad he did a free estimate. He removed a really tall tree from my front yard. Safe, professional, and secure. Has license 👍

David came out same dayeto give estimate and scheduled us the next day. Arrived ahead of scheduled time and did a perfect job. The crew of 3 did a phenomenal job and cleaned up everything to a pristine condition
Thank you so much

We had a tree trimmed back, and two others cut around the power lines. The trimming went well, but the crew wrecked a hedge along our driveway and just left without saying anything. They also charged $200 over the original estimate, which was only two days old. They were on time and worked quickly, but the property damage sucks.

David and his crew were great! They helped us trim and prune 5 redwood trees. His crew was on time and efficient. We’d definitely use their service again in the future!

I have used Dave and his crew several different times from big to small jobs. There is nobody better in the bay area then Dave and his crew. I would and have recommended Dave to everyone I know who needs tree services.
