Fine Tree Care

Our 11 acre property in Occidental had been neglected for many years and there were many dangerous branches, unruly trees and stumps everywhere.
Jeff came out for an initial consultation and we really liked his vision and knowledge. He proposed a full day of work with his full crew. We were a bit concerned about his contract being time and materials.
They got quite a bit done within our budget and the work looks spectacular. His crew is very hard-​working and professional. There were some minor clean-​up issues that we contacted Jeff about and within a few days, they had everything immaculate.

Previously we used Fine Tree Care for the Bennett Valley Grange, now we’ve used them also for our own property.
I can not speak more highly about the quality of service and expertise of Jeff Rebischung and his crew at Fine Tree Care. We’ve used a variety of tree services in the past and Fine Tree Care surpasses the others by a wide margin.

We called Jeff and he came out and gave us a estimate of what needed to be done. Because of the scope of work, we went ahead and scheduled a full day’s work for a crew of 7. As we booked a full day, we could get a substantial discount over the prices quoted by other companies.
We have 6 large Redwoods (plus another 3 shared with our neighbors), 3 Crêpe Myrtles, 1 Cherry Tree, 1 Star Magnolia Tree, plus many large shrubs on just over ¹⁄₃^rd acre that needed a lot of work. We also had a number of stumps that needed to be removed that could not be accessed by a stump grinder, so they were chopped up and removed by hand.
On the day of the project, Jeff arrived with Crew Chief Jimmy and crew members: Dan Greg, Rico, Churro, and Joey. We’ve dealt with a lot of other tree services in the past, but were totally blown away by the detail briefing Jeff provided his crew before work began. We’ve never had a service that spent that much time making sure upfront that they would be getting the job done right.
As the crew worked, we were delighted at the care they took with our trees and the safe working measures taken.
At the end of the day, the meticulous clean-​up left our property in perfect condition.
We will be using Fine Tree Care in the Future and we’ve already recommended it to others in our neighborhood.

Jeff at Fine Tree Care is a gem. He analyzed our issues and had his crew out to do the work in the same day. They are real professionals and care about safety and aesthetics and tree health. What more could a homeowner ask for.

I needed several trees pruned, old tree stumps ground down and a diseased pine tree removed. Josh & team came when I wasn’t home and completed the job exactly as discussed. They also trimmed some hedges that was not part of the SOW. Great experience. I will definitely use Fine Tree Care again.

We first met Jeff Rebischung, owner of Fine Tree Care, at the Sonoma county Home Fair. After checking online and researching his company’s reputation, we decided to call him for an estimate.
We had two large redwood trees that were rubbing against our Guerneville home with large branches dropping frequently and we knew it was time to remove them to prevent more damage. Our job was complicated by the location of a power pole in our front yard and the close proximity to our neighbor’s home. We needed someone we could trust to do the job safely and we felt very comfortable with Jeff’s attention to detail and his ability to coordinate all aspects of the job.
Jeff took the time to meet with several neighbors, as we needed to access other properties in order to remove the trees. Everyone he met with felt reassured by his confidence in his crew and their ability to handle the delicate operation.
During the removal process, it was discovered that the top of our tallest tree was split and decayed. It was just a matter of time before the tree would have caused serious damage to our home. Thankfully, the crew was able to safely remove the rotted section and I am happy to report that the entire job was uneventful. I was impressed with the entire crew. Everyone was very professional and took great care to leave our yard looking better than before. We will use Fine Tree Care again in the future and recommend them unconditionally.

We have .6 acre on Brush Creek and numerous trees of different types. Our forest was in need of attention and upon the raving recommendation of my mother-​in-​law and several other folks whose opinions I respect I called Fine Tree Service in Sebastopol. They brought eight guys – all very polite and obviously competent – and spent about 9 hours trimming, pruning, and removing oaks, sycamore, plum, conifers, and various shrubs.
They pointed out the Japanese maples should not be pruned at that time because the trees were still bearing leaves. (Another service) did the previous pruning job and they chopped away on the maples, leaves and all.
Before they began they took photographs of the yards so they could replace anything they had to move while working for safety reasons. All the trimmings were chipped and shredded for mulch and weed control and spread where requested. By the way, no one on the crew stands around. If they are not cutting they are raking or sweeping. When they left, the place looked like a new park. There was not a twig or leaf left on the ground.
This was the most positive experience I have had with tradesmen of any trade in a very long while. When the maples shed their leaves we called them back to take care of those trees, as well. These guys are PROS in veery sense of the word.

I would highly recommend Fine Tree care. They were professional, courteous, and well priced. They removed a very large tree in a difficult location and saved an existing fence that I thought would need to be removed to take out the tree.

These guys were professional, friendly and highly skilled they took down multiple huge trees – one Monterey pine was 75 ft. tall and over five feet across much of it overhanging my neighbor’s house. They took it down with surgical accuracy and the crew worked quickly and cleanly. I would recommend Josh, Dan and the great crew to anyone!

We called Fine Tree Care on the recommendation of a friend who had used them. After receiving estimates from six other companies, I can say that their bid was best by far in terms of clarity and professionalism.
The estimator provided a verbal quote, but followed up with a detailed, typed quote and contract the next morning from the owner of the business, clearly stating cost, scope and payment terms. Then, they followed up by phone. Every other bid was at best scratched onto a carbon copy bid sheet.
Given the extraordinary expense of tree removal and the fact that any mistake could result in serious damage to our house or neighbors’ property, good communication is a huge trust builder!
My biggest fear was that their bid came in almost 20% lower than the others. But then they showed up with a huge crew of 8 people and a fleet of vehicles, and they took the eight huge, dangerous trees down and removed all traces of them in four days.
Very pleased!
