Tree work is rarely "routine" when it's near your home, fence, or power lines. We frequently help with:
Dense, unpruned canopies that block light, crowd structures, or create safety risks – common in older established trees throughout Marin County
Dangerous branches hanging over roofs, driveways, or fences that need professional removal before they cause damage
Received a notice? We handle vegetation clearing, dead wood removal, and brush reduction to bring your property into compliance before fire season
Fallen limbs and damaged trees after Bay Area weather events – we prioritize safety hazards and restore access quickly
Stumps in the way of your yard, and hedges that have gotten out of hand or are starting to crowd your home
Branches rubbing rooflines, pressing against fences, or growing toward utility lines – problems that get worse the longer they're left
From routine pruning to complex removals, every job is done the way professional arborists are trained to do it – cleanly, carefully, and with your property protected throughout.
Our specialty. Done right, pruning keeps your trees healthier, living longer, and looking better – no topping, no malpractice. Your trees stay strong for years to come.
Safe, controlled removal for trees that are dead, damaged, or requested to be removed for other reasons – with full cleanup included. One less thing to worry about.
Got a notice from the fire department? We'll clear what needs to go, remove dead wood, and get your property compliant – before fire season becomes a problem.
Fast response after storms or high winds. We get hazards cleared and your property accessible again – including work near utility lines.
We grind stumps down below ground level so the chance of regrowth is virtually zero. Then we'll clean up properly after ourselves so your garden space is usable again and looking neat.
We also provide trimming and pruning for hedges, shrubs, and ornamental plants. If in doubt whether we can help maintain your plants, just send us a quote request.
Every crew says they're the best. Here's what actually sets us apart:
Our first instinct is never removal. If a tree can be saved with proper pruning, we'll tell you – and show you why.
We'll never upsell you on work your trees don't need. Ultimately, it's your decision, but if it doesn't need to come down, we'll say so and let you know.
Owner and lead climber Tyler Green grew up in Terra Linda. This isn't just a service area, it's his neighborhood.
Tyler climbs every job himself. He and Nadja handle every client interaction personally. You're not getting a crew dispatched from a call center.
No large-crew overhead means we can offer residential tree service at prices that often come in significantly below larger companies – without cutting corners.
Dangerous tree work demands clear, effective communication – and that goes beyond the job site. From scheduling to cleanup, we make sure you always know what's happening and what to expect next.
We're not here to rush through your yard and move on. We take the time to do the job right – clean cuts, protected landscaping, and a proper walkthrough before we leave.

"I recently hired Green's Tree Service. They are family owned and operated, and I couldn't be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable."
"Tyler was great. He showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left my property looking cleaner than before. If you are looking for tree trimming, removals, or just want your property looking better and safer, I seriously recommend giving Tyler a call."
"Tyler and crew were fast, polite, and efficient. They did an excellent job of pruning my trees and cleaning up afterwards. I was very happy with their service."
"I am a complete novice on what to do when it comes to tree maintenance. Tyler did an amazing job at walking through my yard with me and providing me with clear advice on what to do and did not try to “upsell” me to do more than I needed which I truly appreciated."
"Amazing customer service! Answered any questions I had, was very professional with a very fair price. Will be calling back for more work in the future."
"Tyler was great. Knowledgeable, accurate and easy to work with. He removed two 75+ yr old trees, cleaned up and took all the debris away. Punctual, communicative and his estimate was accurate. Great to work with!"
Based in San Rafael, we provide professional tree services across Marin County, Sonoma County, and San Francisco.
Every job is different – tree size, access, what's nearby (rooflines, fences, utility lines), and how much cleanup you want all factor into the price. What we can tell you is that as a small, locally operated crew, our pricing tends to come in well below larger companies without cutting corners on how the work gets done. We offer free estimates with no obligation, so you'll know exactly what you're looking at before anything starts.
In most cases we can come out same or next day for an estimate, and get the work done within the week. Send us a few photos at 415-320-6025 after you've reached out – it helps Tyler assess the job ahead of time and can make scheduling faster. During busy seasons or after storms things can stretch a bit, but we'll always be upfront about timing. Our goal is a hassle-free experience from first call to final yard cleanup.
Yes, and honestly this is where experience really matters. Trees close to structures require careful sectional dismantling and controlled lowering – not just cutting and dropping. Branches rubbing against rooflines can cause roof damage and gutter damage over time that adds up fast. Tyler has handled plenty of tight removals throughout Marin County where property protection wasn't optional. We take the time to plan the job properly so your home, fence, and landscaping stay intact.
Your call. We can haul everything off, stack the wood if you want to keep it, run the brush through the chipper, or do a combination – whatever works best for your green spaces. Chipping is a great option if you want the material to stay on site as mulch – your plants will thank you for the extra nutrients. We go over cleanup options in the estimate so there are no surprises, and we don't leave until the job is done to your satisfaction.
This is probably the question we're most glad people ask. Tyler's preservation-first philosophy means that if a tree can be saved with proper trimming and pruning – or even hedge pruning to reduce stress on an overgrown plant – that's usually the better outcome for your property long-term. Tree care that protects value means keeping healthy trees healthy, not removing them unnecessarily. We'll give you honest recommendations based on what we see, not what makes us more money.
Yes to both. We can help with tree planting if you're replacing a removed tree or adding to your yard, and we handle land clearing for properties that need vegetation removed for construction, fire mitigation, or general cleanup. For large-scale clearing projects we'll be upfront about scope and whether it's something we take on directly or refer out.
