Tree reviews in Santa Rosa, California

The 2 man crew that removed our old plum tree did a great job. They were polite and friendly,. No damage to the fence the tree hung over. They cut the trunk to my specifications and cleaned up the space. I liked that they used full safety equipment, including helmets, to protect themselves while climbing the tree. Price was almost a third of another company's bid.

This is my second 5 star review for Empire Tree Service.
The first was when they came out on an Emergency to get our tenant's cat out of a heritage Oak tree.
The crew was just here to trim many trees for safety.
One tree was completely removed.
The crew was great.
Nothing was damaged even though there was a car nearby and great respect was given to my injured, recouperating horse !
These guys ROCK !

Lucas gave me a quote to remove a stump, remove a tree and trim a tree. Him and his crew were very nice, they did the work quickly and respectfully, and had very reasonable prices. We are very happy with how everything turned out. Highly recommend this company!

Our experience with Empire was excellent in every way. The team really hustled and they were thorough. The cutting down process was so well coordinated. And their clean up job was fantastic. We felt very confident and safe with this job in Lucas' hands. Thank you Empire!

Lucas and his crew gave us a fair estimate in the morning and were done by late afternoon. Did a great job and made sure we were really happy with their work. I will use them again and send them to work at friends!

Highest recommendations for Empire Tree Experts, Lucas Graves and his professional crew! Cost is reasonable, clean-up impeccable! We're looking forward to a safer fire season and winter storms thanks to they're excellent work and attention to detail dealing with a forest of overgrown trees!

Lucas and crew did great work, fast efficient . We watched them as they took down a redwood tree that was leaning on our house, they were very careful and did a great clean up afterwards. I highly recommend them for any tree issues you have, we were very happy with the results. Definitely would hire them again, they are insured and reliable. After getting a few quotes, they were the best price we found.

Very happy with our service! Great crew - very professional. Consistently amazing service every time they have been here.

Lucas gave a very reasonable quote, and he did not upsell or exceed that budget. I had 5 trees that needed to be heavily pruned. They were very prompt, showing up the very next day after the quote. The team did the job beautifully and in a very short amount of time. The guys were very nice, and they completely cleaned up the area afterward. I would recommend them 100%!

Lucas, Empire Tree Experts. I have used them on a lot of tree jobs, from trimming and thinning to taking down whole trees and I mean big trees. Lucas and his crew are very professional and do excellent work. Very efficient, there prices are great. In fact I do not even get prices from anyone else. Lucas and Empire Tree Experts are the best in the business. They are now and always will be my tree company I use. No need to look else where. In fact he is going to be doing a job for me very soon. These guys are best! If you need tree work they are the ones for you. EXCELLENT COMPANY!

Chris and the crew did a good job removing large limbs that had become intertwined with utility wires. Return customer.

I can’t say enough good things about the service I received. The crew was amazing and they did an excellent job thinning out an old oak tree. Fast, efficient and fair pricing.

Fantastic.

I've used Empire Tree three times and each time the same outcome. The price was fair and the work was exactly as promised (or better). It shouldn't be, but it's very refreshing to find reliable, honest, reasonable and professional contractors.

The most recent job was pretty complicated including a very (very) tall tree with big, brittle, widow-making branches overhanging my deck ... no problem, no damage, no mess. I wish I had pictures, these guys are awesome.

There's no question who I'll call the next time I need tree work.

Thank you.

5 star review best tree service ever, 5 star performance. Crew were excellent and professional.

Empire Tree does great work. The 3 person crew were helpful, followed the direction I gave, and suggested other improvements to help shape our large oak tree and remove mistletoe. The value was outstanding, second time they have helped us in the the past few years, bringing the tree under control without damaging its health. I strongly recommend Lucas and his men.

I first used Empire Tree Experts in October 2024 for the removal of three (3) large redwoods plus stump grinding. Earlier this month, it became necessary to remove a massive cypress tree on family property. Without hesitation, I contacted Lucas. The cypress was a much bigger job, and it was removed a few days ago. I highly recommend this company. On both jobs, I received very fair estimates. The crew is very talented, safe and thorough. The job foremen (Chris) was great to work with. He's polite, professional, and always kept me posted regarding the progress of the jobs. The crew goes out of their way to clean up the job site once the trees are down and stumps are grinded. I will not hesitate to call Empire Tree Experts in the future.

Great crew the work was amazing they even moved my patio furniture away from the work area and put it back when the work was done and the price charged was very reasonable

Empire Tree Experts did a great job removing some trees from our property that were broken in a storm and a few which had grown out of control and been taken over by black berries. These guys worked hard and I was very surprised by what they did in a half day. The price was fair I will definitely call them again.

Empire Tree Experts is my recommendation for my clients prior to starting other work. Lucas and his team are fast and efficient with all the right equipment to take of the job.

Excellent, professional and quality tree work. The large crew took the tree down quickly and with professional ease. My stump was ground and the large chunks of wood nicely sat aside to dry for future use. I highly recommend Empire!

The first appointment was a no show. They did not call to tell me they were delayed and needed to reschedule. The second appointment was great. Very professional. Happy with the tree trimming and cleanup. Would use again.
