Stephanie D.2024-04-02 Great work, prompt, fair price. Have used him for 15+ years for various projects: tree trimming, tree removal, vegetation clearing, and root/stump grinding. Sibylla J.2023-07-21 Totally excellent removal! Our aged walnut tree lost a limb on Wednesday night, Doug came out to take a look Thursday, and brought his team to remove the tree entirely on Friday. Super fast, super friendly, and also super conscientious - his crew cleaned up everything so well you wouldn't have even known there was a tree there. AJ F.2023-07-03 I've hired Doug's crew to come out multiple times (6 days total). I own a large property with many special trees. His crew is able to remove trees, trim / prune, and take care of everything. Doug is reliable, professional, safety focused, and his team takes precaution when working around my home. I am extremely happy with their services. I've referred Doug to neighbors and friends. I plan to continue to use Doug Petersen Tree Service for many years to come, please don't retire Doug! Dylan Y.2023-01-13 Although I did not hire his team to remove my tree, my interactions with him were very positive. He was very polite, accommodating and responsive. The reason was because I needed the tree removed right away as the recent storm pushed the tree to almost a 45 degree angle and I was afraid it would hit my neighbors house. He was 2 hours out and someone else was able to come out within the hour. Overall, I would still recommend. Larry T.2021-05-18 This is the second time I have used Doug's Tree Service. He did a great job the first time so I called him again to trim back an overgrown English Laurel against the back fence. He brought a crew of 5 people for the job. The crew did a great job and cleaned up everything afterwards. If anyone wants a quality tree service, call Doug. I highly recommend his services you will not be disappointed. Ter S.2021-05-14 Great guy, referred me to his subcontractor, who I hired. Sean B.2021-02-27 Doug came out immediately and gave us the most reasonable quote out of the 5 companies we had quote us. He was quite literally came out within two days with a whole crew and knocked out an extremely difficult project near our under-construction pool. They were extremely careful containing all the debris caused by the stump and root destruction. I highly recommend Doug and his crew! Top notch Keagan M.2021-01-18 Was able to be contacted through text, came out the next day, had great prices and finished by dusk! Perfect service and great communication. Jeff L.2021-01-08 Doug is responsive and provides reasonable estimates for tree work. He's also good with follow up communications. His team is respectful, and they did what was asked of them and were good about cleaning up afterwards. I had a good experience. Bob C.2020-09-08 According to the website CSLB his contractors license expired on 3-14-2020. https://www.cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices/checklicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=685235 For this reason, I was unable to have this person do tree work. If this information was in error, he needs to contact the state license board.
