"Very knowledgeable, high attention to safety, and possible alternatives. Carefully examined a dangerous dead tree and used slow efficient methods throughout the process of cutting top first then lower areas. He used excellent equipment and efficient methods. He carefully further split wood so that it can become firewood to heat homes for persons who need it. Clean up was as agreed upon before service. I would give him high level recommendation for all work completed."

"I have used About Green twice in the past 3 years. Our backyard has a lot of trees and very tall tree-type hedges. Since it was a major part of the reason we bought the home, we want to maintain the health of the landscaping back there. Vince and his team scaled and thinned/trimmed a couple very tall redwood trees, removed an unhealthy leaning tree and trimmed/maintained many other trees on our property. Vince is a pleasure to work with and very friendly. He is extremely knowledgeable in all of the trees that we have and suggests what service to do on each type of tree based on his knowledge of each. He explains it very clearly to us who don't know much about the subject. His work is quality and his goal is 100% customer satisfaction. On this last visit, they spent a few hours trimming a tree-type hedge and when I came home from work, I wanted it around 3 feet lower. Even though it meant repeating the work for a few hours, Vince did it without any argument. To me, that was a true test of customer satisfaction. They complete the work in a timely manner, over a 2 day period. They cleaned up the yard like new and disposed of a ton of trimmings (never seen so much in my life). I never even consider another tree service besides About Green. I plan to have him come out after summer to suggest some landscaping ideas as I haven't used him for that before.."

"Melvin and the team at Urizar Landscaping designed and created an backyard for us that is both beautiful and elegant. I expected the total overhauling and re-designing our landscaping would be a challenging experience. With Melvin’s personal attention, we felt that every stage of the project was well managed and took extra care in making sure everything was done very thoughtfully. He communicated daily gave updates, and was great with giving timeframe estimates with each step. All around great group, the front/rear yards look amazing and we can't wait to plant spring flowers!"

Excellent Job in all respects.

 

Appointments: 

     Easy to make over the phone; received a "reminder" email the day before; received "enroute" telephone call.



The Job:

    Aeration:  Quick but thorough.  I've done my own aeration in the past so can assess job quality

    Fertilizer:  Applied fertilizer and pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide as part of the service

    Clean-up:  Thoroughly swept all areas around the lawn

    Knowledge:  Very knowledgeable and forthcoming regarding lawn and weed-related issues.  Had a number of valuable suggestions for how we could improve our lawn's soil condition and enhance water retention (water conservation)  

 

Price: 

    Very good.  $72 (including 10% Angie's discount) for approximately 2000 sq ft of lawn

 

I'll definitely be using Rotarea in the future.

"We had our front yard redone with a facelift and some edging and mulch along a new fence in the back. They also removed several stumps for us too. We gave them an idea, they selected the plants and we let them know the look we were going for. It was amazing. Super reasonable, reliable and great to work with ! Will be hiring them for another project very soon. Highly recommend !"

FAQs for trees & shrubs treat, protect and maintain projects in Santa Cruz, CA

A tree doctor or tree surgeon is another term for an arborist. The term is more common in places like the United Kingdom. They are professionals trained to plant, care for, maintain, diagnose, and remove trees of all kinds. Tree doctors have specialized knowledge to ensure the health and safety of trees.

Arborists are tree care specialists who plan, maintain, and enhance the health of trees with expert precision. They prune, diagnose diseases, treat pest infestations, remove hazardous limbs, and manage debris cleanup while developing comprehensive landscaping plans. They also handle tree planting and work with landscape professionals to ensure long-term tree vitality and safety.

Consulting arborists are tree experts who can advise homeowners and business owners on the right trees to plant, how to care for existing trees, and what to do about trees that appear to be sick or pose a safety threat. A consulting arborist may work with local landscape architects, investment property owners, city governments, developers, and other arborists.

An arborist may be able to save a dying tree. If you notice that your tree suddenly appears to be sick or is exhibiting unusual behavior, contact an arborist immediately. They will thoroughly inspect the tree to determine what might be wrong with it—and will let you know if it’s possible to save the tree and how to do it.

Verifying an arborist’s credentials is crucial for reliable tree care. Arborists must be licensed by their state and hold certifications from reputable organizations such as the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Request proof of licensing and certification, and review local recommendations to ensure you are hiring a professional who meets high industry standards and adheres to strict safety protocols.
