Smith Tree Service

Brian is incredibly knowledgable and his team courteous, fast and conscientious. We have many oak trees on our property and four very close to the home. He was able to advise his team about the best way to groom the trees and his team did an outstanding job making it look aesthetically pleasing. Brian also advised us on other considerations related to other trees on our property. Great service! I would highly recommend them to everyone in the area.

I checked the Unilocal tree trimming reviews carefully before meeting with Brian. I never met anyone who knew so much about every bush and tree on the lot. I hired him immediately. He didn’t disappoint. In fact he exceeded my expectations… which were already high. Go with Smith.

After using Smith Tree Service for years, I can confirm the previous reviews. In addition, I commend the crew who works with Brian Jacobson. invariably, everyone is highly skilled, efficient, courteous. This time, a portion of a pine tree collapsed onto our deck, and Brian Jacobson came over as soon as we called to be sure that the roof was not endangered. All work was done so cleanly that several neighbors expressed their appreciation, as well. Moreover, I always learn something more about trees and the environment from Brian.

Excellent analysis and execution — trimming of several oldish oaks and annoying acacia was done with care and precision, was quick, extremely professional, and cleanup was awesome, wouldn’t even know they’d been here, except that we can see the views now, and the trees are noticeably healthier and happier!

Use this company without hesitation! Brian Jacobson is a man of his word, knows his business, is prompt and courteous, as are all his workers.
I had occasion to use his services earlier this year when our neighbors’ oak tree, which overhangs our yard, needed attention. The neighbors highly recommended Brian. Not only did his crew arrive as scheduled, Brian himself also came to make sure things were going well. The neighbors did not want the oak wood from the trees they had trimmed up, and Brian had his crew bring it all over to our yard — a LOT of it!
Fast forward to two weeks ago when one of our own oaks fell across my car in our driveway on the weekend. Monday morning first thing, I called and left a message for Brian. He returned my call within 10 minutes. I explained what had happened and he said he would call his crew right away and see when they could come over. He called back immediately and said they would be here in 15 minutes! Wow, what service! They promptly dispatched with the offending oak, chipped up the smaller branches, cleaned up the whole driveway, and were gone in about an hour total.
I’ve talked to other arborists about our oaks and always felt like something was being pulled over on me — but I fully trust Brian’s judgment and advice and will use Smith Tree Service for any future needs.

Had a great experience with Smith tree service and Brian Jacobson with a major tree trim/​pruning on my large lot which has many live oaks and other trees. Very knowledgeable arborist with skilled and contientious crew. Brian came in lower than other bids and provided more service. I felt I got a great value. The yard looked much tidier after they left as they do a great job cleaning up too!

I agree heartily with the previous review. Fine work, attention to detail. Brian is so friendly, knowledgeable, realistic, and as honest as the day is long. We have had many jobs done over the years and have been greatly satisfied. Importantly, the cleanup after a big trimming job is impeccable. I enthusiastically recommend Smith.

I have a big old oak tree that was overgrown and full of worms and moss. Brian Jacobson, the owner, gave a thorough inspection with various options. His price was fair, his crew was courteous and fast, and I ended up with a nicely manicured oak that I know has improved the look of my property. He is honest and educated on the type of work he does. I would recommend him to my best friend as well as to anyone.

I’ve used this firm for years. Brian Jacobson, the owner (and original Smith’s grandson), is as honest and helpful as the day is long. They do a great job at a reasonable price. Brian also won’t do or quote an unreasonable job — I remember him refusing to spray my oak trees against the moths, since it wouldn’t do any good; discouraging me from chopping down pines at the first sign of pitch canker (yup, they’re still tall and green); and referring me to another tree service for some trees that they’ll be able to handle more cheaply and safely.
