We selected S.P. McClenahan after reviewing bids from other tree care companies. S.P. McClenahan provided us multi-tree services with a high level of class at our home in Menlo Park. Miguel, a seasoned professional in the field, visited our property and provided his guidance and recommendations that were both thoughtful and considerate. Their pro-crew completed the project with respectful care at our property, and with sensitivity towards our neighbors. If you ever need tree care, I highly recommend requesting Miguel for a consultation. You will enjoy his classy personality and his pro-crew. I’m sure that you will be glad that you had chosen S.P. McClenahan as well.
Note picture and videos of how the pro-crew tied ropes to the branches prior to cutting the branches, and how they took care of the roof and solar tube with their special reaching trucks.

We used McClanahan for years. With the Barrett buyout service has gone downhill. Their arborists - the guys on the ground or up in the trees - are still excellent. But dealing with the business side is most unpleasant. Lots of promises and assurances and no follow through. Or a call out of the blue announcing they are coming out to fertilize your trees when it was already done. We used McClanahans for many years. We will be shopping around for a new arborist now.

I have used McClenahan many times over the past 10 years but their service has really dropped off. I have a job that was supposed to be scheduled for May, then dropped off the calendar. I have called four times (over three weeks) and asked for Juan to return a phone call - nothing! Not sure what has happened, but the responsiveness is terrible. I will be looking for another company after 10 years if this is how they treat a valued customer.

We used McClenahan for our tree work over the past three decades. Now it has been bought by “Bartlett” and everything is downhill. The recent work they did was shoddy and careless, including damage to plants near the trees. Clean-up was only partial, with a pile of chips left on top of plants in the front of the house nowhere near the trees where the work was done. When I got the usual survey and complained: right—total silence. We’ll find a better company for the future.

We had a major rain and wind storm last weekend. It blew down a very large elm tree in our yard, resting on our roof. We were very concerned that additional roof damage might be caused by the wind and rain with the tree having fallen onto the roof. We called Miguel at McClanahan and he came to our house within 1 hour. He was able to get his team over to our house with their equipment within 2 hours. They did a great job of safely cutting back the branches and then removing the tree despite the ongoing heavy winds and rain. The team appeared to be very experienced and skillful. They successfully completed the work and cleaned up within 4 hours. The charges for the work were very reasonable. We will be having them out again in the future for more routine work.
