Trees are great. They provide us shade, beauty, they clean the air, help prevent soil erosion and much more. The benefits of trees are more than plentiful, but they are not without their burdens. They need regular care to stay healthy and not get in the way or cause structural damage to your property.
Sometimes they need to be removed due to their own structural problems, such as interior decay, infestation, or may just be completely in the way. At minimum, they'll need to be trimmed from time to time to maintain their elegance or to be able to walk or drive under. There are many instances in which you will need to hire professionals for for your tree care needs.
It's important you hire a company that has a safety-first policy in order to prevent damage to property, and keep everyone safe from harm while they work. SB Tree Care is a professional service headquartered in Goleta, CA.

UPDATE: The owner of the company finally got back in touch with us about repairs, and has resolved the situation by managing the repair and painting of the damaged wall.
BEWARE! If I could give less then 1 star I would. How disappointed we are in SB Tree Care. They have serviced our trees several times and most recently they had an accident that resulted MAJOR damage to an exterior wall. When the accident occurred no one called to tell us the damage had occurred, imagine our surprise when we came home. Furthermore calls, emails and text messages have gone unanswered from the owner and we have

Chris and his team do professional tree trimming work. I've used them many times to trim our trees and work with neighbors to trim their trees to best maintain our view. They are very good at thinning oaks and trimming even the most obscure shaped trees to look nice and attractive without hacking them back to look like stubs. No! Tree trimming is an art and they are great artists at what they do. Prices are fair and reasonable. Excellent response time and communication. Top notch service! Highly recommend and will use them again.

Let me start by saying this, I Don't normally write reviews, but felt compelled to do so for Chris and the guys at SB Tree Care. I had 3 100' plus foot eucalyptus that needed to be removed in a tight area. These guys were professional, timely, organized and very fair priced. I would absolutely used them again and encourage anyone to reach out to them, you will be impressed and thankful you did.

This tree service recently pruned my neighbor's oak tree. One thing that they can improve on is to be more aware of where the property lines are between homes. At the beginning, they were walking all over and putting their heavy equipment and tools all around the small plants in the landscaping on my property (which wasn't the property they were working on) and ended up partly crushing one of my agaves (see photo). It will recover, but it would have been nice not to be crushed. ;) If they were more aware of property lines to make sure that all equipment and employees stayed on the property

Responded quickly after normal business hours for a tree emergency. Charged 2,500 to cut large portion of one of my oaks that was starting to topple, putting my house at risk. Due to the urgency, they made time to show up first thing the next morning. Crew was in and out within 3hrs or so. Quick and fairly quiet. Brought straps for me to tether the tree later, for added security.
Price was high, but understandable. Didn't see face coverings.

I found SB Tree Care to be excellent. Great price, on-time, and very professional service. I'm a contractor myself, and the first thing I noticed is the quality of their equipment. They showed up exactly when they said they would and the guys worked hard on my acre for a day and a half. I had them either trim or remove palms, oaks, peppers, pines, and hedges.
They cleaned up after themselves and left the place looking great. I'd use them again no question about it.

SB tree care is a professional company, however they severely pruned my neighbors oak trees reducing the canopy dramatically. The trees will now struggle to cover the exposed branches and trunks with suckers to prevent sun damage and dehydration. Removing all the lateral branches and leaving only the growth on the ends of the branches as they did will also make them vulnerable to wind damage. Pruning this heavily in spring will put the trees through excess stress in the hot summer months when they need the canopy to protect them. If you hire them be very clear what you want and watch them. It all

We called SB Tree Care after two other local tree companies completely flaked on us - we should have called Tree Care first. Chris (the owner) came for the estimate on-time; it was quick, painless and very reasonably priced for the 6 trees we were looking to have trimmed. Chris also expressed a deep knowledge of his profession. We were able schedule an appointment that was convenient, and did most of our communication via IM, which was handy - thought they were also responsive by phone. The crew showed up exactly when they said they would, without reminders, and were very friendly and courteous

We have used SB Tree Care on numerous occasions. They are always on time, dependable, and leave our lawn and trees well trimmed, clean and neat. Recently we had a huge palm tree in front of our home that was dropping tons of the orange fruit onto the sidewalk. I called Chris and they came the next day; the price was very reasonable and our lawn and sidewalk were immaculate. Two thumbs way up! Highly recommended.

We got a free quote from Chris and other companies, but Chris seemed the most reasonably priced, and we were persuaded by the excellent reviews on Yelp. Chris was extremely prompt in getting back to me, and he was very friendly. His team dealt with a huge jacaranda tree and two avocado trees for us, and they were on time, efficient, and left our property much tidier than they found it. We will absolutely be using them again in the future any time we need something done to our trees, and we're telling all our friends about the awesome experience we had with them. We can't recommend them

I had a huge palm tree growing in my front yard that began to encroach on my roof. I got three estimates from tree care teams and all three said it was a painful job because of the size of the tree and the proximity to the house. Plus teams were hesitant about the job because of all the hauling and disposal of the palm fronds. Chris gave me a quote that was significantly less than the others so we scheduled the work and it was done in a day... no damage to the house or surrounding landscape. The crew was polite and kept the schedule we agreed on. They even ground the stump down below the ground

SB Tree Care removed a massive yucca family tree, a juniper tree and completely covered our entire dirt backyard with wood chips; changing it from derelict appearing to attractive in a matter of hours.
Chris Willingham and his crew worked professionally and with attention to detail. I would definitely use SB Tree Care again.
