Arborist: Urban Tree Management

I was introduced to Michael Young (owner) independently through two very trusted folks. Initially I hired Urban Tree to issue an Arborist report on a remodel project that impacted a number of heritage trees on our property. Michael was quick to respond and I was immediately impressed with his admiration for trees but with the right balance with our growing urban landscape. Michael brought up several really important issues to me with regards to the proposed construction which helped guide me and the architect in our decision making process. He has a great reputation with the majority of the planning departments in the Peninsula and Southbay.
We ended up hiring Urban to do some extensive work on our one large redwood tree that was developing multiple crowns (75 feet) and trimming and cabling our coastal live oaks, with an added bonus of having a killer kids tree swing installed. The Urban Tree crew is top notch and it was very impressive watching them scale large trees with such skill and care. I plan on using them for the annual maintenance of our heritage trees to ensure they stick around for a very long time.
I could not recommend an Arborist more favorably.

This company really knows their stuff. They are careful and detail-​oriented and look to the long-​term with your trees and property. Michael, the owner, is easy to work with, good with explaining things clearly, and understands budgeting, so you can get prices for individual projects, instead of one huge bill for your entire property. I’ve worked with them for 4 years now and I’ve always been pleased with their work.
