Tree Pros

After interviewing 3 tree trimming services we went with Tree Pros and they have done an excellent job trimming everything from a huge branch off our Monterey Cypress to a long 18 foot high hedge and other trees of varying sizes. They were on time, safety conscious, skilled, and sculptural in their trimming and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them. Co-​owners Jon and Paul Black are at 415−763−5933. See

I had a large tree (~75 feet) and some other trees and large bushes that needed removing due to the recent storms. I called John and Tree Pros and he not only came over the next morning, but they were able to start the job and finish all that same day! Every other place I called required an appointment which were days/​weeks out then start dates far after that. John’s crew was amazing, they were courteous, fast, and cleaned up everything so well, they even protected my lawn with tarps so the sawdust wouldn’t get all over. They were also very competitively priced and did a great job of being transparent as to what all the costs would be, and did several things to help keep the cost down.
I couldn’t be happier and will for sure use them next time!

Tree Pros did such a wonderful job, our large hillside yard is now full of light we have our views to the valley open all around the property and the crew was so fast, efficient and extremely courteous and professional we could not be happier with the work done for us!

Wow! I don’t understand the negative reviews. We had an enormous Pine tree removed from our yard that was getting to close to our bedroom. With 7 men and the boss watching every move, the tree was removed in less then 4 hours. When we returned home, the yard was so clean, you wouldn’t believe anyone had done all of that work! 28 years experience, fully insured, licensed, and certified, I couldn’t be happier. Their estimate was much more reasonable then others.

These guys are good! And they are hungry for work. The crew showed up gave me an estimate. I negotiated a bit with John Black by phone, who was in Hawaii at the time, and they got to work right there and then: they pruned a bunch of my trees in 3 hours (quick!). They did a great job! Cleaned up really well. Took good care of my trees. Thanks!

I suddenly realized that my beautiful bottle brush and flowering eucalyptus trees, which had grown and formed a mass across the front yard, were a fire ladder,
creating a real danger to my home and that of my neighbors!
So I called Jon Black at Tree Pros. He had helped us before. He came out the next day, listened to our concerns, made some suggestions, and gave us an estimate.
Three days later he came with his equipment and a crew of five. They went to work very professionally and quickly did the job we needed done, removing one bottle brush, trimming another plus a bush by the front door, and taking off some limbs from the eucalypus. Jon suggested removing a few more limbs so as to lessen the danger from windstorms causing downed phone lines, and we agreed.
Cleanup was beautifully done and even included some debris not left by the cutting. All was finished in good time. We are safer– so are our neighbors– and well satisfied.
We hope some of our neighbors with heavy growth will also take advantage of Tree Pro’s excellent work.

We were in a bind — we needed trees «windowed» before a summer BBQ party and our regular guy didn’t respond to calls. Jon showed up promptly, did great work, and his price was very fair. I also really liked how he interacted with his workers. I would absolutely work with Tree Pros again.

John Black of Tree Pros has taken care of our trees for years and we continue to be extremely happy with the work he has done for us. The Tree Pros crews complete their work in a very short time and always do a great job of cleaning up the areas they have worked on.
We live in a heavily wooded area and in order to maintain our view and to give our home light, we have had to have many of our older trees trimmed, cut-​back, windowed, and shaped. John is always professional and knowledgable about all of the trees we have on our property. When it comes to our view, he sees the possibilities that we aren’t able to see. John always listens to what we say and even more importantly, he is willing to work around what our adjoining neighbors value about their views and landscaping — especially important in Marin County!

I’m very happy with the work that was done at my home in Novato today. I’ve been putting off decisions about knocking back trees, pruning, removing, etc… Called Tree Pros after receiving that blue envelope with coupons for local services and after meeting with John last Friday. He seems very knowledgeable about the trees and what makes sense to work on now and what shouldn’t be worked on at this time, seasonally. Here is it Monday, and the work is just being completed. I’m so happy with the results. They got it all accomplished, left me with firewood, too. I have so much more light in my backyard.
John wrote a detailed list of what we agreed to and arrived on time… his workers were very responsible and hard working. I’m very happy with the work that was done, how it was done and it seemed like a fair price.

We moved to our new home in Mill Valley and we had to take care of the yard that was not in a good shape. We needed to remove many trees. We did a market research and we selected/​met with 4 companies.
Our first meeting with tree Pros was with Paul Black who took more than an hour to explain/​teach us many things (that we did not obviously knew) about what we had/​needed-​to-​do in the yard. Paul is extremely professional and very human. We then had a meeting with his brother John who also took the time and provided us with many useful information and great advise.
We selected Tree Pros and we are beyond Happy with the work they did ! it is just FANTASTIC and perfect. We highly recommend Tree Pros. Our Yard is now beautiful and we also have a fantastic view.
We highly recommend Tree Pros.

My experience was worse, John is a fast talking, insulting jerk, he basically did to mature trees trimming that will take 5 years of growth to fix.

I agree with the other review, however our experience was worse.
The owner, John, is a sleazy sales type who will say anythng to get your business, but it’s clear that the basic knowledge of trees is missing.
We had Marin Arborist come and fix what had been messed up.

Tree Pros does an adequate job but in 2004, Paul, our estimator, whom I assumed was an arborist, did not correctly identify two common trees that I knew the names of! That made me wary in the beginning. I did not call them back in following years because I felt they did not listen to exactly what I had wanted and overpruned some of our trees. If you just want a lot of stuff lopped off, the growth will come back so it’s not like they will ruin anything, but, I found that another company in San Rafael did a much more specific and careful job.
