Pacific Coast Tree Service

I am not very impressed with this company. I called last Friday late in the day. I did get a call back on Monday asking if I had called. I explained what I wanted done and they asked me if the tree was available to see if I wasn’t home, but I told them that I wanted to discuss whether to simply trim or take down my large Bishop pine. They told me someone would contact me to arrange a time to view the tree. When Thursday came around with no contact from them, I decided that I should call them back. I did say that maybe I should get someone else, thinking that would get some response, but I guess that gave them their out and I got an email stating that they were booked up all through the winter. I am pretty sure if I hadn’t called, I would have never heard from them. Back to square one after wasting a week of my time.

We have had the good fortune of having Pacific Coast Tree service out 3 times now, and would never ask anyone else. They have beautifully maintained a large weeping street tree, removed a dead pine and a dying yucca, and reshaped a lovely Japanese Maple. Their crews are prompt, efficient, friendly and clearly love their work. These guys love trees. Further, they understand them and are real artists at rejuvenating overgrown trees
You might ask if I would refer them to a friend– I already have and I would absolutely continue to give their number to friends and family that need trees removed or reshaped. Best tree service around!

Jim and his crew were very efficient in removing 2 trees and cleaning up afterwards.

These guys are pros! Hire them.
Jim and his crew removed 3 massive trees from our front yard. These were the biggest trees on the block and beginning to break all over the place. This was a large job to say the least.
Pacific Coast Tree Service came highly recommended, bid the job competitively and and were the ONLY company that actually had different members of the crew (and subs) out to assess and quote the job. The result was pure quality and bonus of the best price too.
They had the necessary equipment and staff to ensure the job went perfectly, including Tania at the office making sure all things moved along correctly. They took care of us right from the start, helping us acquire the necessary permits and explaining the entire job. Jim gave us some great information and insight into dealing with these large trees on our property. When the job underwent it was a huge event. Big trees, cars on a busy road, houses close by etc. They handled every detail. Each piece of those enormous trees landed right where they wanted. They managed the traffic, cleaned up every bit of debris, respected my neighbors. You name it, they crushed it. We were blown away. On top of all of that, they we’re friendly and great to deal with.
Bottom line. Hire this company.

PCTS was out front at 0830 to remove a 60ft. Monterey Pine located in the back yard.
The PCTS Crew had the tree down, chipped, and the yard cleaned up by 1730. WOW ! i figured it was a 2 day job. We would recommend to all who are looking for a qualified and professional tree service.

If I could give six stars I would. I bought a house in Pacifica last year and have way to many trees on the property. I have had Jim’s crew out twice and they are incredible. They get the job done right and other than the trees being gone you would never know they were here as they do a great job cleaning up. If you want the job done right and at a fair price I highly recommend Pacific Tree Service.

Jim responded very quickly to my report of a downed tree, and quickly removed it for a reasonable fee. He volunteered (at no charge) good advice on future tree plantings. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, pleasant, and reasonable: I highly recommend.

Trimmed a huge tree and removed dead stuff. Great job and reasonable price. l

Customer oriented tree service with excellent workers and supervision. Jim has worked with me for several years to manage my many trees with professional standards and careful cleanup. The men are courteous and extremely hard working. He takes his responsibilities to his crew and to the customer seriously. Recommended.

I had 4 large spruce trees that needed to be topped about 5 or 6 feet, one ironwood tree to be topped and reshaped and a huge redwood tree to be removed.
They not only did an outstanding job, they cleaned up so well my yards (front and back) were cleaner than when they came. To top off this outstanding job, their bid was almost ½ the cost of their competitors… UNBELIEVABLE

I highly recommend this company! Our neighbors very large tree fell in our yard. We called a couple of places and PCTS gave us the best price. We had them mulch the branches of the tree, cut down the trunk into smaller firewood size pieces. and remove 2 other ~10ft trees on our property. We kept the mulch and firewood for ourselves. They came out on a Sat and were done in 3 hours! It was amazing! They cleaned up afterwards and were very conscious of our property and other plants. If we need a tree service again we will definitely call them. Great service, competitive pricing, friendly and quick! I highly recommend!

I chose this company based on their Unilocal reviews and boy was I glad. The price was very fair and the workers were both competent and polite. Their work was impeccable. Our backyard was overgrown with brush and scrubby pines. They removed a total of 20+ small and mediumish trees, cleared the backyard brush, and hauled everything away in under five hours. Cleanup was perfect! I recommend them highly.

Couldn’t be happier! Fair price, on time, respectful of our property, and delivered exactly what they promised for the price quoted. Sad to see the tree go, but it was dangerously leaning toward the house. These guys swooped in like arbor ninjas — swift, effective, and left no sign they were ever here. HIGHLY recommend using this service.
Thanks guys!

I called to have a simple haul away of a large amount of back yard debris and to get a quote on some other large limb removal. I mistakenly gave them my address and without a phone call someone came over to my house and was looking over the fences to the yard. I called the service later that day to tell them one of their people showed up unannounced and I was unable to answer the door. Pacific Coast Tree Service decided to trespass on my property, while I watched through the window. The receptionist apologized and said someone would call me back to do the job. I am only writing this because I called them due to the great reviews on Unilocal.Now, two days later and there has been no call back, so I guess they do not want the job. I would not say this company is dependable nor very professional to have someone skulking around your house without calling you, at all. And you knew I found you via Unilocal,alas, I can not say anything good about you. Best of Luck!

I’m kind of a hard grader. Also giving them 5 stars is really exceptional considering I ended up paying a little more than I expected. I’d not been exceptionally clear on what I wanted done when I first met Jim and assumed (I know, I know… ass of u and me…) stuff would be done inclusive of the estimate. Anyway, my impression of Jim is that he’s an honorable guy who wants to please his client. Truth is, you don’t see much of that these days.
As far as the quality of work? Beyond comparison, really. His crew works quickly, does a fast & thorough job and cleans up beautifully. We had Bartlett Tree Service of S.F. come out previously and boy howdy, could they take a lesson from Pacific Coast.
Take my advice, forgo Bartlett and choose Pacific Coast. You will save hundreds of dollars and have a better looking back yard!

I called Jim to evaluate a 75 – 100 ft heritage Monterey Pine whose roots had been massacred by contractors when my house was built a couple of years earlier, leaving me with a very scary situation; i.e., the prospect of a really big tree crushing my house.
When I found out about the root issue, I obtained quotes from several arborists to remove the tree (sniff) and Jim’s was among the lowest. At the same time, his guys have been with him for years, and he is fully insured, all of which gave me confidence that he would be able to safely take down this magnificent, albeit deadly, tree, without incidence, for a fair price.
I had to leave the house the day of the job because I couldn’t bear to witness the death of this tree. When I returned, it was gone and the place was cleared of debris. The guys were efficient and safe and I couldn’t be more pleased with their work. (I am still sorry I had to kill that gorgeous tree though. Stupid contractors.)

I had a very large Pine tree situated in my side yard right against a fence and very close to my house and my neighbor’s house. I want to tell you that Jim and the Pacific Coast Tree Service crew did an outstanding job here.
They came on time and prepared well.
They were most expert in the job that they did, particularly the tree man.
They cleaned up so well that there’s hardly a trace of the immense pile of branches and twigs and sawdust.
They seemed to minimize the noise made by the chipper.
In all, I am most pleased and would easily recommend them for any similar jobs.

If a tree falls in the neighborhood and there are people around to hear it, how many different stories will you get? Unilocalers, this is my story.
At 9:47 PM, I was startled with a loud noise… something like thunder and then I thought an earthquake and then I thought: tree fell. I ran to the front door and saw my oak tree lying horizontally in my driveway. Thankfully, we were spared our lives as well as major damages to the house and the cars. In the morning, we called our home insurance who assigned us Jim Kibblewhite’s crew to clean up our misfortune.
From the looks of what had happened, I didn’t think it could all be done in one day, but in about 4 – 5 hours, the team of 5 guys who were armed with 2 chainsaws, 2 rakes, 1 pitchfork, a wood-​chipper and another large truck and other equipment were able to chop into pieces what used to be our oak tree that stood tall and grand in our driveway. They were hard-​working, efficient, easy to work with (saving us some of the smaller pieces of wood so we could use for firewood) and best of all, did a FABULOUS job in cleaning up after they had left.
The 5 of them were able to clear our driveway, which was completely blocked by the tree, in one day and although our driveway can now be used, they will be back to clean further and pick up the larger pieces of wood.
The only thing I wished they would have done differently is instead of letting one of our neighbors walk off with a wheelbarrow full of wood, I wished one of cutters would have approached us to see if our neighbor could have the wood! We weren’t asked by our neighbor or any of the cutters if someone else could have some wood. We’d gladly give some wood since we had more than enough, but I think it’s just common courtesy to ask the owner for whatever since it’s not yours to begin with.
Overall, Pacific Coast Tree Service was awesome and thank goodness for these guys who came on a holiday, to work in the cold and rain!

I went by a house I own in Moss Beach the other day to check out the work Pacific Coast Tree Service had done on a big wind-​damaged Cypress tree out front. Man, did they do a good job.
I had gone with these guys because of the first Unilocal review (the second hadn’t been posted), and because their estimate was the lowest of the two I got.
Brian was the one I dealt with on the phone. He was professional and polite. My tenant at the house says the work crew was great, and that the guys even posed for a picture with her after the work was done.
No complaints here. I’d recommend ‘em.

Jim Kibblewhite’s crew came out last week to cut down some pitch canker sickened pine trees from our back yard and trim a ginormous [sic ;)] eucalyptus and they rocked!
These guys arrived on time, worked their butts off, and finished a job that I thought might take all day or more in 5 hours flat. And they totally cleaned up, chipping or hauling everything away and raking and sweeping the yard so you would hardly know they were there.
The best part was that Pacific Coast Tree Service was half the price of some of the other bids I got for the work. It’s great to support a local P-​town business, especially when the price is right and the work is done in such a quality manner.
