Jerry’s Tree Service

In September, 2015, we used Jerry’s Tree Service on our large property in Novato, CA. Our property is more than a half an acre; (all mature) California Redwoods, Japanese Maples, Tulip Trees and Locusts, etc. I had called two other major tree arborist companies in Marin Cty in the last three months to try to get a knowledgable tree company to recommend what needed to be done on our property. He has over 35 years of knowledge and experience which was evident the moment we began touring our property together. The latest water rationing/​pest damage etc has taken a toll on our much loved trees that we ourselves planted more than 20 years ago. We wanted an expert who knew their business; not for only profit (profit without compromising quality) but actually had a working knowledge/​education and hands on working experience with trees of all kinds and that cared about the bottom line — the tree’s ultimate health, beauty and the future life of it. To say the least Jerry dazzled us. The two other companies we called had recommended things that would have been SLIGHTLY cheaper initially but within a 12 month period would have left us with the same choices; some trees needed to be removed so that healthier trees had room to expand-​we would have spent the money twice which was a waste. He isn’t the cheapest nor is he the most expensive; but he will do it the right way and I will use him for years to come because of it. Jerry isn’t a guy who will give you what you think you need just to get the job. In my opinion, he will give you expert advice so you will not spend your money where it isn’t needed but will be mindful of a budget. He will tell you the truth and is honest about his pricing; no hidden costs etc. We all know that tree service can be expensive. Trees take a long time to develop and mature; one whack might destroy it all and will look terrible for years. He is not the guy who gets the contract and takes off and lets his crew manage it either. He stays with the job and by the time his crew is done the job looks clean and tidy. All of our trees that he «laced», trimmed and reshaped look absolutely beautiful!!! The most important? He cares about the details! Great job Jerry — your company deserves every bit of 5 stars!

I would highly recommend Jerry’s tree service. They were extremely accommodating by fitting into my schedule, and did an excellent job for a reasonable price. His crew protected existing bushes resulting in no damage and did a great job of cleaning everything up! I would definitely use Jerry’s again.

I had Jerry and his team come over to my home yesterday, ¹⁄₂₂. They took out 2 redwoods and 3 other trees. They then thinned 5 redwoods. They were all very professional, on time and did a great job. They also did an excellent job cleaning up. I would highly recommend Jerry’s Tree Service!

Jerry is super friendly and his hard working crew are considerate people.
Great service, great price, great guys. Highly recommended all around.
In about five hours they took down a really big fir, a big pine and five little oaks.
Cut ‘em down, ground ‘em down and cleaned it up.
If you are shopping for tree service, you should definitely give Jerry’s a call.

Jerry and his crew came in and did what he said he would. The guys were polite and tidy. Local, kind, clean, good price… what more could you ask for? I would hire them again.

Expert tree service
arrived on time and started working.
Skilled workers removed 2– 85 plus foot redwood tree from my backyard.
no problems, all business, steadily they cut down, chipped and hauled off everything. Using a leaf blower one worker blew all the chips off my neighbors yard and my yard. Leaving little evidence they had been there.
Jerry ground the stumps, all that was left were wood chips as a ground cover.
So easy

Jerrys tree sevice has pruned and removed trees for me and my very elderly neighbor. I went on Unilocal to write a reveiw. Both my neighbor and I were so thrilled with his service and employees. Our trees look great, he even did some extra work for me above his quote at no charge. I read a few of his reveiws and rather then continue to write about how pleased we were with him I feel I want to address the idiot who has no clue what he is saying about the Jerrys tree service we used. His workers are very Americanized and one of them maybe two are his own family members. Jerry who is a native Californian does alot of his own work and meets with most of his clients personally. When Jerrys workers left my house it was very clean and neat. He blocked my neighbors driveway for a bit, walked over first and asked if it was okay, they too have him out next week for a tree trimming. As far as being a proud American when I went by to drop off my check in his mailbox he flies an American flag out front and has a flag decal on his boat. Well I hope when you figure out what tree service you actually were dealing with you can let us know, I have a strong feeling you are his competition rather then an unhappy customer. I know it would be hard to compete with his reputation but slander is a crime. May you find peace Albert…

Jerry is all about the money. He came out quickly for an estimate & though he was high, he was available. Now I know why. They left the place dirty. They cut the stumps quite high & kept trying to up-​sell their stump grinding service. Later, after I had paid, I found that the watering system under the pine Jerry’s had removed was damaged by falling rounds. He wouldn’t return calls. Finally he picked up the phone & I explained the situation. Jerry curtly said there was nothing he could do about it. When I suggested he pay for the damage he suddenly got an attitude. Since then I’ve talked to several people in the business about Jerry’s and they all say the same — Jerry’s can do rough tree removal & trimming — he’s fine for PG&E work but no good for homeowners. He’s known for telling people how «unsafe» trees are to get more business. If you’re the kind of American who cares, his crew only speaks Spanish. Save yourself the hassle of dealing with Jerry, others will do a better job for less money.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jerry of Jerry’s Tree Service for about 5 years. He came highly recommended by my Mother-​in-​law who has had him as her tree guy for well over 15 years.
I have always found him extremely knowledgable and very personable.
He is the only one I would trust to take care of and handle the maintenance on my tree.
Jerry truly prides himself on his hands on approach and personal customer service.
I have and will continue to recommend him.

They came, gave quote, seemed really nice and knowledgeable but never showed up when they said they would. The scheduler called a couple of times to tell us that they didn’t forget about us, but they kept forgetting about us anyway. No show, no biz. end of story.
