I am required to have 3 parkway trees trimmed (conflict with HOA and city ownership of trees).

Called Bob's tree service and left message. He got back to me very quickly. Spoked to Bob. He was friendly and knowledgable. He provided me with a lot of information. He will not be doing the job for me. He did gave me great advice, for free, on how to handle the situation. I appreciated his help.

I used Bob's Tree Services.

They didn't charge me anything. He came out to give me an estimate. He said he doesn't give free estimates but he came by to look at the trees that I wanted to get done. He told me that I don't need anything done for the tree because it's fine which is very commendable. A lot of people would say they would do that and would cost me extra dollars.

Bob Clearwater is the owner of Bobs Tree Service. I live in a historic district, to trim or remove trees requires a permit. Bob had to take pictures and submit them to the city. This took four weeks. He stayed in contact during the process. He came the first day he was contacted. He always came on time and I must say I was extremely happy with the results. Very professional, the yard was clean when the job was finished. Bob is very knowledge about trees. A very nice person.

I needed an evaluation of a tree on my property that was believed to have termites. Bob came out to diagnose the problem and advise us on how to proceed. He was quick to respond to our project request. When he called to schedule the appointment, I was a little surprised that he charged $100 for a consultation. We decided to pay the fee and had him come out to look at the tree. He was very knowledgeable (he's a certified arborist) and gave us a clear picture of our options. I asked if he would be willing to walk around the rest of our property to look at our other trees and give us an idea of their health, since we were paying him for a consultation. He agreed and was very helpful. We ultimately did not go with him for the project because of cost, though I appreciated having his advice on all of

Trimmed two large mimosa trees and one pepper tree. Removed several smaller dead fruit trees including the stumps. Cleaned the mimosa mess off the roof of the house.

Bob and a crew of five arrived in the morning and he and I went over exactly what i wanted done. The men got right to work trimming and clearing. Bob checked with me numerous times to make sure that everything was done to my liking. Bob is full of information about trees and is willing and eager to share it. I enjoyed learning more about my trees and how to care for them.

trimmed, cleaned diseased area and medicated avocado tree; trimmed podacarpus hedge; removed 2 dead small podacarpus trees; fertilized front and back lawn; cut back large trees near back wall; installed pole to keep my fig tree upright.

I know from experience that not everyone who runs a tree service actually knows what they're doing. I once hired a tree service to trim back a very healthy and productive apricot tree. The man and his crew cut it up so severely that the tree died. So when I saw that my avocado tree was in distress, I knew I had to get help from someone who actually was learned and knowledgeable about trees. Bob Clearwater of Bob's Tree Service is that man. He's a certified arborist. I'm sure that he saved my avocado tree. Bob and his crew took great care to clean out the diseased area of the tree, carefully trimmed away some dead branches and pruned the rest of the tree, but did not further distress it. He worked right alongside his crew and prepared the medication for the avocado tree. They showed up exactly when they said they would, hauled away all the debris and cleaned up the area wonderfully. Even though it was costly, if you want the best care for your trees, I would definitely recommend Bob's Tree Service and will call them again.

The provider was not interested in the job because the house was in the opposite direction of where is was at. He was not interested in making an appointment. I never said I needed to meet with him today.

He said he was expensive because he was licensed. I told him I have other licensed tree trimmers providing bid and he told I need to be sure they are licensed because they can just say that. He also told me I should hire someone unlicensed because they can do it cheaper, but they won't speak English. Sounds a little racist to me. I never gave him a price or a budget. I am not sure how he gets business, but I would certainly not reccomend him. It is obvious he does not want or need the business.

Service Provider Response
When [member name removed] called me she seemed upset that I could not come out right away and informed me that she was price shopping and had already gotten a couple of bids from people who left cards left on her door. I told her that my price would probably be higher as I am not only a licensed Tree Service Contractor (which provides customers with legal protection) but an ISA Certified Arborist. To gain ISA Certification one must pass not only pass a rigorous examination on numerous aspects of urban arboriculture including hazard evaluation and mitigation, disease diagnosis and treatment, proper trimming methods, site suitability and fertilization based on tree type and tree protection methods during construction but prove that you have worked in the Tree industry for at least 5 years (I have been at it for more than 30). We must also complete 30 CEUs every 3 years including day long seminars from University Professors on the latest Insect threats and diseases.The State Tree Service Contractor exam has no questions regarding Trees or Horticulture, but I am both a Contractor and Certified Arborist. She said that the others had State license numbers on their cards and I urged her to check with the State Board as I heard on the news that up to 1/2 of those who claim to be licensed are not or have had those licenses suspended, revoked or are using someone else's. I joked that she should check up on me too, to see if I was telling the truth. She asked me if I would be there when the work was being done and I said I would but because I give every customer my full personal attention by being on every job I often cannot give estimates right away. I thought that she was alluding to a complaint I often hear that previous contractors in various fields have sent a person out to give the bid who speaks English but then send a crew who does not making it difficult for the customer to communicate their needs and concerns. I am sorry Ms [member name removed] that there was a misunderstanding and that I could not look at your property as soon as you wanted but to maintain the quality of my work I feel it absolutely necessary to not only limit my company to 1 crew but to stay with them instead of just giving estimates, diagnosing hazards ,diseases and writing reports the way most other Certified Arborists do.

Review: Gutter Cleaning Service

I use Bob's Tree Services. Loading... >>

The man is a walking saint. He knows more about trees than I know about cooking and that's saying a lot. He made my tree, if you know anything about fruitless mulberries, you know they are like a wild haircut. They are like a teenager with a wild haircut. You can not get them under control. He just did a beautiful job. He is worth every single penny that he charged. His fees were reasonable, about the same as everybody else. What impressed me about him is his, he likes trees, they are his friends. He talks about the trees like they are living creatures that are his best friends. He really likes trees. He was just so nice to me. You just don't find people like him any more. He worked with me. I will never have anyone come out and touch any of my trees except his company.

Trimmed/laced two liquid amber trees. Medicated an ailing Japanese Maple.

Everything went well. Bob answered/returned all calls promptly. Job was done within a week of hiring him. He stayed and worked with his men the entire time. Very knowledgeable about his craft and is an engaging conversationalist. A good overall experience. Definitely recommend him to anyone who needs trees trimmed/shaped. Don't let anyone "top" your trees!!
