The Urban Arborist is a full-service tree company specializing in urban tree care and management. Our certified arborists provide tree services to residential, commercial, and municipal clients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. At the Urban Arborist, we begin with the view that your trees are part of an ecosystem. We use our experience to determine how best to treat that system as a whole in order to enhance each tree’s relationship to its unique setting, considering the surrounding landscape, buildings, micro-climates, and of course the humans that share that ecosystem. With an emphasis client communication and transparency, we look at each case to determine the best course of action in order to preserve your trees and your safety.
I have worked with Mark and Trey for almost a decade at a number of different properties in San Francisco and I can say they are one of the best tree companies I have ever worked with. Mark helped me for many years in Potrero Hill and also recently in the sunset district with a tree branch that broke off hanging above pedestrian sidewalk and he was able to get over there right away and have it removed. I’m grateful for their quick action and professional expertise in the field and will continue recommending them to my clients.
These guys are the real deal, very professional and pleasant. They didn’t take away too much, just cleared away all the dead branches like we asked. Took about two hours to cut down and gather up a huge pile of debris, another half hour into the chipper. Afterwards, they swept up all the bits and left our driveway cleaner than when they arrived.
We have a sort of large yard that is pretty wild with lots of trees. Josef did a great job consulting with us on how to maximize his team’s efforts that would give us the best results anesthetically and from a fire prevention perspective. His team did a really great job executing the plan. We are really happy with the results!
So after a detailed review with the owner of Urban Arborist, it was determined that it in fact, was not Urban Arborist who did a poor job on my garden. So I would like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to Josef and his company for the blame I placed on them! To make up for my mistake, I’d like to hire them to help remove the stump that was left behind by the other arborist. Hopefully this will make up for my mistake, and correct any misfortune I may have brought to them. Sincerely, Ed Garcia
Before & after. Very well done. The tree had many dead limbs and was just generally overgrown. The results are better than good. 👍
