Services
Some history on how Santa Barbara's longest-running tree care and landscape company came about. 60+ years and still going strong. Tom Gosnell, founder of Gosnell Tree, won the very first International Society of Arboriculture International Tree Climbing Championship in 1976 and became the world champion.
Each one of these portfolio items is from private residences in Santa Barbara County, however, we do offer commercial services to the same communities as well. You can reach us by phone Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm, or feel free to send an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
From the towering Californian Sequoias to Japan's peaceful bamboo forests to the Philippine's colorful Rainbow Eucalyptus, beautiful trees can be found throughout the world - and in your backyard! While nature is pretty adept at tree care, you may find yourself needing some assistance from the professional arborists at Gosnell Tree & Landscape in order to preserve the health and beauty of your trees.
Trees don't just spring up out of nowhere - they take years and years to grow into a sturdy, sizeable asset to your landscaping, so the decision to remove a tree is always a hard one. Unfortunately, many circumstances make tree removal necessary, and even some cases in which emergency tree removal is imperative.
It may look as simple as slicing off a branch here and there, but proper tree trimming and pruning require an artful hand and a scientific understanding of how your actions will affect your tree. While there are instances where DIY tree trimming is acceptable - such as removing smaller dead branches or clipping back unwanted growth - for the most part, pruning and trimming should be left to professional arborists with the necessary experience.

Gosnell Tree Service was exceedingly professional and did an incredible job trimming our trees in our back yard. (And ultimately removing a tree.) We highly recommend them. They were on time and cleaned up whatever mess afterward. They also had very good pricing. 5 Stars.

If I could give Gosnell zero stars I would. I chose them because I needed an arborist and also knowledgeable landscape maintenance. They seemed to have the experience in pruning and trees. They did a pretty good job on my grape vines and trees. Then the high bid came in for maintenance, very high., but if they were good I didn't mind paying it. Our 1,000 square house had older plants everywhere and a grass front yard. I needed the plants to flourish better with a little more TLC. It is a second home so I trusted they would do a good job and follow up with all the specific areas they quoted

I was more than pleased with the reasonably priced bid, careful supervision, and dedicated crew. We hired Gosnell Tree and Landscape to prune, thin, and lace three different trees in our yard. They beautifully thinned and trimmed our front yard olive tree and backyard Jacaranda. The trees still somehow look full, but so much more light is coming through and we can see that all the dead wood is gone. They also did a masterful job of crowning a large ficus and trimming it way back on our neighbor's side, but still keeping it as a privacy screen for our side. I felt that it was a tricky

Gosnell pruned 4 carrotwood trees that were in various states of health. The trees all look great now. The crew was professional and efficient. Their price was unbeatable. I will definitely call them the next time I need tree pruning.
