About YFR Tree & Land Management
We could not have made a better choice than YFR Tree & Land Management for clearing our property of a Scotch Broom infestation and some dead-and-down large woody debris which represented a major fire hazard. Matt & Jen are both very knowledgeable and professional. A very reasonable estimate was given following initial telephone conversations and a site visit. Matt's completion of the work project resulted in a very clean forested landscape. We are very satisfied with the entire experience of service by Matt & Jenn at YFR Tree & Land Management. We will not hesitate to contact them for any future landscape clearing needs.
Matt and his crew are such a pleasure to work with. We live on three flat, forested acres purchased in 2019, and they’ve been an integral part of our stewardship of it over the last 6 years. We’ve had YFR up many times. We interviewed lots of arborists/tree services, and his vibe and approach immediately resonated with ours — they were clearly the best choice for us. Their initial help to clear and masticate decades of overgrowth on the entire property really opened up our little forest. They’ve returned many times since to fell trees, clear brush, and reassess along the way, and we’ve slowly shaped the land to suit our needs while ensuring the land is healthy and thriving. What’s been great about our ongoing relationship with YFR is Matt’s guidance on longterm maintenance. He’s helped us prioritize our efforts, and always finds creative ways to stay within our budget for each project. He and his crew are always professional, friendly, and clearly skilled at their respective roles, and they always go above and beyond what’s expected. I’m always impressed by their efficiency and precision, especially the last tree they fell right next to our house: it landed safely within a few feet of the buildings it was near! Can’t recommend them enough, plus they’ve got some cool merch you might be able to convince them to throw in for free 😏
YFR is an incredible team to work with. Matt masticated some of our land for fire safety and forest health and are so impressed by the care he took and the artistry he used while working on this project. I've had other people work on this land and they pretty much clear cut the area. Matt worked with us in collaboration and paid attention to the native plants we wanted to save. Jenn is responsive and professional in managing the project's completion. I can't recommend YFR enough.
YFR came out to my property for a quote and risk assessment. Matt, the owner, was very informative and easy going. We made a game plan that would accommodate removing the the necessary trees without disturbing the landscape around our home. My favorite part is that they’re interested in keeping as many trees as possible rather than making a few extra bucks. Honest, professional company. Highly recommend.
Highly recommend YFR!! Matt and his team were super professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, they handled everything from tree felling to trimming with caution and care. Their amazing attention to detail and safety really stood out. Their pricing is super fair, esp knowing what other companies in the area quoted. I’ll def be using them again in the future!
