Tam that was surrounded by several, massive, dying Monterey Pines, we called Treemasters, and boy am I glad we did. I wish we had a few months sooner, before one fell on our roof in a storm during the Winter of 22. At that point, we were working with a smaller Arborist who had trimmed the dying trees to see if we could get some more life out of them, which was a big waste resources. Long story short, we reached out to Treemasters, this past October, and Tad's crew was on site within days and removed the rest of the large Pines (6) in a couple of days! We were prepared for this job to last a while and were blown away by how efficiently and effectively this crew worked together. Everyone knew their place; they were extremely well-choreographed. Also tidy- They left the site immaculate. Fast forward a month... severe weather hit in a way the area hasn't experienced in decades, high wind and rain for weeks. I have no doubt that if this job hadn't been executed when it was, we would have had catastrophic damage to our home from more trees falling on our house. Thank you, Tad and the Treemasters crew! I would recommend them to anyone looking for expert Arborists with a lifelong understanding of the area and the trees that grow here. They also expertly pruned our remaining trees, including several fruit trees, in those two days as well. This tree job was the most significant work we have done on our property so far, and well worth it. show less
