La Selva Tree Service provides a wide variety of tree care services for residential and commercial clients in an area that stretches from Monterey County to Marin County. In addition to handling regular tree work like removal, pruning and shaping, stump grinding, and cabling and bracing, the company offers several specialty services (poison oak removal, weed clearing, firewood preparation and more) and is available for 24-hour emergency work.

Co-owner Frisco Ragsac credits much of La Selva Tree Service’s success to its relatively small size, which allows its employees to provide every client with personal, hands-on service. “By actually getting to know our customers, we can understand what they want to accomplish with their trees over the long term,” he says. “Even after we finish a job, we always follow up to make sure the customer is completely satisfied.”

La Selva Tree Service strives to customize its work as much as possible by listening to each client’s specific landscape needs, considering all the information and devising a comprehensive plan that fits their budget. “Whatever the customer wants or needs, that’s what we try to accomplish,” confirms Mr. Ragsac. “The best part of this job is seeing how happy our clients are when they see their improved landscapes.”
