I had four large trees trimmed a few weeks ago, including my street tree. The quote was more than I expected, but Ian Geddes came recommended by a neighbor on Nextdoor. My neighbor had competitively shopped for pricing and found Ian Geddes more affordable than most alternatives.

They came over and gave me the quote, he was very professional and gave me some helpful advice on other trees in my yard that were not a part of the quote. One the day of trimming a giant crew of guys, maybe six or seven, arrived on time and they finished pretty quickly.

Ultimately, my trees look great. They have been lifted and thinned but not just from the bottom, like an unfortunate tree down the street that was trimmed by the same guy who put in a new fence. A bad haircut doesn't last forever but a bad tree trim can. It's not worth skimping on trees you will be looking at everyday for the next 10 or 15 years.

I highly recommend Ian Geddes Tree care! Based initially on a friend's recommendation, I called Ian Geddes Tree Care about six years ago to help restore a beautiful Japanese Maple to a more natural shape because the previous homeowner had pruned it into the shape of a lollipop. Dave explained that only so much could be done on the first pruning and that the tree would need additional shaping the following year, which made complete sense given what it looked like at the time. I was thoroughly impressed by the work done at that time so I had Ian back the following year. That particular tree is my favorite and it is thriving in a natural shape today and simply gorgeous!

I have now hired Ian multiple times for additional pruning work on eight trees. From start to finish on each project, I have found his entire team (office and work crew alike) to be responsive, punctual, reliable, competent, thorough and professional. The onsite crew does a fantastic job on the trees themselves and their clean up is flawless.

Thank you, Team Geddes.

I am very pleased with the overall experience working with Ian and their crew to trim a very large cedar tree outside of my parents' home. We were specifically looking for organizations operated by certified arborists. Ian was prompt and transparent in giving us the best quote we found among several local companies. On the day of the tree service, we had some concerns with the timing and weather and they responded to our questions promptly, graciously, and clearly. Thay are heroes and did tremendous work in a very efficient manner, talked through exactly what they would do and how they would do it with us before the work began, and left the surrounding area clean and as it was when the work was done. I highly recommend this business and would work with them again.

Great service, great people! Ian Geddes Tree Care has the best crew, nice people, easy to work with. They came on time to give an estimate, with very reasonable price, and surpervised the work done yesterday in the backyard seamlessly, despite the rain. Crew of five worked 4 hours to remove a maple tree and cleaned up afterwards. Receptionist Jocelynn is also very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend them.

We hired Ian Geddes Tree Care for two separate projects and both times they did a great job, removing trees, grinding stumps and roots. Very fast work, competitive prices and cleaned up everything after removal. Highly recommended!

Our trees were WAY overdue for trimming! The professional team of Ian Geddes was onetime, provided great information, made suggestions and now our trees look awesome. The pricing was comparable to similar companies - but their service out shined everyone else I interviewed!

I am so pleased with the service and response these folks provide! I emailed Ian's office to schedule trimming and cleanup of 2 of my trees; a 50 yr. old Sycamore and an out of control Japanese Maple. After Ian came out to give estimate. They put me on the schedule the next day for possible early April, then called back later to tell me they had a cancellation of one appt. for the next day & would I like to take. Well, of course I did.

The crew of 6 did a fantastic job on both trees, all crew were very efficient and polite, and did good job of cleaning up, plus only took 1.5 hrs. I felt the cost of the job was reasonable - much less than I expected.

Happy, Happy, Happy!

Today is the second time we have had used Ian Geddes in three years and they did such a good job again, it seemed like it was time to write them a review. Dave has been the arborist who handled both of our jobs and I really appreciate that he wants to do what is best for the tree, not the company pocketbook...he actually tried to talk us out of cutting down the most expensive tree on our job. We found out he recently got sudden oak death certified through UC Extension (lots of arborists aren't formally trained/knowledgeable on all the techniques available to manage it), so we are having him back out again to help us test our trees next month.

The crew today was very efficient and cleaned up everything at the end of the day, even chipped a few extra things that had been sitting in our yard. The final bill came in lower than the estimate, which I thought was especially honest of them since we had agreed to the higher cost and it just ended up taking less time to do everything.

I needed to get some branches of my elms cut back so they wouldn't extend over the fences into our neighbors' yards and so they wouldn't be hanging over our house. Dave their estimator gave me two bids, one for work that would include trimming and thinning the elms as they needed, and another just for the emergency work to prevent more dropping into dangerous areas. We took the less-expensive bid and they did prompt, high-quality work right on schedule. Very professional and extremely careful to make sure that the branches being cut were taken down without damage or debris into the neighbors'yards. We and the neighbors were very happy with their work.

I consider this company's excellent mastery to be able to work on your fruit trees. He taught Master Gardeners under the leadership of Nancy Garrison how to prune fruit trees and saw his work at the Heritage Orchard. If you want one of the best, this is the man to hire.

These folks negotiated a fair price, and sent in a very experienced and courteous team to trim our walnut trees. Ian stopped by to oversee the operation, but really, his people are competent and could have done it themselves.

They took care not leave debris in the neighbor's compounds, and generally nice.

Fascinating to watch them work.

Ian Geddes continues to impress us. We had them out to quote trimming of some trees and instead of quoting us for unnecessary work, they were honest and said to call them back in a year. They took the time to explain things we can do in the meantime on our own. There are so few companies these days that are willing to be so honest. Highly recommend them!!

It is amazing how hard it is to find an Arborist that is patient and interested in really giving you a fair opinion about the condition of a tree. After some failed attempts, we tried Ian Geddes. We needed help understanding whether our Lemon Tree had a disease or not. After sending a photo, they told us via email what they thought might be going on and didn't want to waste our time by coming out to sell us something we didn't need - which I thought was very nice and fair. We decided to have them out anyway and were super impressed by their knowledge and service. I wish I would have found them earlier.

If you need tree work done you should get at least 3 estimates. I recently got 4 estimates for the removal of 2 birch trees and there was a difference of hundreds of dollars. Ian Geddes had the lowest quote so I chose them. As soon as the 2 man crew arrived they went to work. They quickly and safely brought down the trees. They completely cleaned up the work site. The work could not have been done any better than it was. Very pleased.

We have nothing but good things to say about this company and it's crew. This is the second time we have used them, and their quote was reasonable, their service impeccable, and the did a beautiful job. ian was even honest enough to advised AGAINST some pruning we were interested in, even though that would have netted him more business and money. Def. recommend!

Six years ago we had Ian come look at our huge redwood tree that was seven feet from our home. He gave good advice to watch it, and if we noticed the sliding glass door getting harder to open, the beautiful tree would need to go, before further damage was done to the foundation.

In December we noticed this beginning to happen, so we called and David came to take a look, give advice and an estimate. Four months later we had our permit and we contacted IGTC, who immediately scheduled the removal of the 70-foot tree. The tree was neatly down in a day, the clean-up was impeccable, and the stump was ground out the next day. I asked for some of the mulch to be left behind, the perfect amount was, AND over $300 was taken off the final price.

Friends have told me the price for removing the beast of a tree was very reasonable, and I agree. David and Lisa were a joy to work with, very prompt and punctual, and the clean-up was amazing...as if they were never here, except for the massive tree disappearing.

Five stars, and we will definitely use Ian Geddes Tree Care again.
