Tree Removal
We specialize in complete tree removal for hazardous or nuisance trees using advanced rigging and crane-assisted techniques. Our ISA-certified arborists assess risks and execute safe, efficient removals while protecting your property. Free estimates ensure transparent pricing for both residential and commercial clients.

Our ANSI A300 and ISA-guided pruning removes dead wood, improves airflow, and enhances tree structure. We offer both large-scale lifting and fine pruning services to reduce disease risks, prevent property damage, and maintain aesthetic appeal for all tree species.

Steve Gibson came by today to examine several large Sequoias in my smallish backyard in a residential area. We were given thoughtful, competent counsel about the health of our trees and actions to consider. Steve was engaging, knowledgeable and informative. We appreciated his assistance very much and would highly recommend his services.

Gentlemen's Tree Service is AMAZING. And Stephen Gibson is a true gentlemen arborist who knows his stuff. I was in a bind time-wise and Stephen fit me into his tight schedule. First of all, he was incredibly responsive to my email query, then came over the same day to view the tree that needed to be removed (a three story cherry tree that was split and leaning in a small backyard with part of the bottom trunk embedded in a fence over two properties). His quote was clear and well priced; he showed up with his great crew that was professional and fast providing expert tree work and an amazing

Steve Gibson is a rare find. Totally professional, no-nonsense. Safe and fast. No legit operation under-bids him. I once worked in the field as a "ground man" for a climbing Arborist.One of Steves advantages is that he has invested in a crane as well as the usual climbing gear and chipper/truck. This gives him more ability to safely and quickly remove huge chuncks of tree, putting him ahead of the crowd. Oh, and did I say that I have yet to see any licensed (CCB#) guy beat his prices!

Gentlemen'sTree Service (Stephen Gibson) did an excellent job of tree trimming and removal of many trees from difficult terrain and in the face of other complications not of their making. This was a big job that required hauling of three full truck loads of debris. His crew cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. The bid was reasonable - the best of three that I received. I was more than satisfied with the work done and would use this company again without hesitation.
