Finch Tree

have used for over 15 years — and they have done an outstanding job of trimming my old Walnut and giant Cedar — each well over 40 years old. Was concerned about the recent Bartlett purchase but so far the same people are in place and they just did another excellent job of keeping my trees in shape. I use mainly for trimming — not for diagnosis of tree problems.

Just had Finch Tree Surgery trim four trees on my property and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. I have been at my home for 3 years and have not had the trees trimmed do to anxiety over what company to use. I have had and seen some major hack jobs with other companies. The sound of chain saws make me cringe in my neighborhood. Not an issue at all with Finch Tree Surgery. Dan Thacker came out to do the estimate and manage the project. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He knows his stuff. The workers are also great. The guys barely even used a chain saw and were meticulous in bringing my overgrown trees into shape. Some trees just needed some thinning of old branches and that service was very affordable. Honestly, they aren’t that much higher priced than other quotes and your trees will look like well groomed trees when they are done.
I would recommend Finch Tree Surgery in a heartbeat. I will be using them again in the summer to trim an overgrown and previously over-​cut California Live Oak and again in the fall to trim some overgrown fruit trees.
There is a reason they have Surgery in their name. If you love trees and want yours to be healthy and look like a regular tree canopy hire Finch Tree. You won’t be disappointed.

I have used Finch for about 5 years now (Daniel G. is my go-​to guy!) and there is not enough I can say about their service, their professionalism and their skill. I have many well-​established trees on my property including a 100 + foot eucalyptus and a very old Live Oak and both have flourished under the care of the men from Finch. After the big wind storms, I was afraid that my trees would have sustained some damage but found that they were all healthy and whole and I think that Finch had a large part in making that happen.
As the other reviewers have noted, they are meticulous in their clean up, if you get Daniel as your arborist, he comes out with his green laser pointer and tells you exactly what is going to get done and why and works with you regarding what you want long term from your trees. The guys who work on the trees themselves are professional, courteous to a fault, efficient and quick and anything that I had a question or concern over, they addressed on the spot.
As for the phone service, I am slightly baffled as I have never had any issue calling in to schedule an appointment or get a question answered. Yes, sometimes you do have to wait to get an appointment but I also believe that is because they are in high demand.
As to the pricing, I know that many tree trimmers have told me that they can beat Finch’s pricing and I don’t doubt that but that does not speak to the quality that I have seen in other services. If you have smaller trees then maybe it would be worthwhile but for those of us that have large, established trees that we care to maintain, I would never use anyone else.

I just called them to get some information.

The lady who answered immediately asked for my residential information. I asked a few general questions and she couldn’t really answer my questions over the phone. Basically they hired a disrespectful phone respersentative to turn potential customer away.
She was so rude without saying a simply «thank you» or «good-​bye» she hung up the phone. With that action, I would not choose them to work on tree service.

I call them two weeks ago to get an estimate, the receptionist told me that she will give me a call back. I haven’t heard from them at all.

Finch did an excellent job. We had two Chinese Elm that were hanging extremely low. Furthermore, the previous owner had done some hack job which left parts of the tree compromised. We had them do some cleanup as well. Their team was quick, clean, efficient and brought the trees back to a healthy state. Very happy with these guys!

Hard to Schedule, But Quality Work
About the quickest they can get to you is a month or two away. They are in high demand and there is a reason for that.
–A Certified Arborist Does the Estimate, Not a Tree Butcher
–The Same Arborist Shows Up at Your Home First Thing to Direct the Work
–They Show Up On Time and Are Very Professional
–Clean Up is Thorough.
I will also note, they are not cheap, but I’ve not found a tree service, other than fly by night tree butchers, that are inexpensive.

We had our Sycamore tree done in August or September and they did a beautiful job fixing what someone else had ruined. There were branches sprouting out all over due to the wrong trimming. Finch fixed it beautifully and were very cautions of our neighbors yard and vehicles.
We had hem back in November to do our Avocado tree and again they did a wonderful job. Clean up is amazing. I would highly recommend. Their pricing is right in there with the cards you will find on our porch — by the non-​licensed hackers out there.
Use FINCH!!!

Finch is a quality organization, the person who came out to estimate the job was knowledgeable and the men who did the work were amazing. We had a huge oak limb (8 feet in diameter) that was crushing the roof on the guest house, the men cut with precision and took great care to insure that house was not damaged by the removal of the limb. I would highly recommend Finch Tree Surgeons.

Finch just trimmed our Avocado tree for the second time in 15 years. They do beautiful work. We live in an established neighborhood and many neighbors have mature trees. It is easy to tell who uses Finch to trim their trees and who does not.
One tree trimmer called the bad trimming the Hat Rack look. I call it Tree Butchery. The bad trimmers send up two trimmers who know nothing and they cut off about half of the major limbs. It’s like going for a manicure and having your fingers amputated at the first knuckle.
Finch’s workers are supervised and they shape the tree to improve it’s health, taking out the dead and brittle parts. They consult with you and respect your wishes. Their rate may be about 25% higher than other tree surgeons or the tree butchers, but our avocado looks 100% better than some of the butchered trees I’ve seen.
