Best Tree Service
Best Tree Service
Best Tree Service has been reshaping Bay Area clients’ landscapes since 1987. Owner Gary Gilliam is a Certified Arborist and considers his trade an art form, with trees as his palette and the landscape as his canvas. He uses his decades of industry experience and a natural eye for artistry to enhance trees’ natural beauty and architecture through meticulous pruning and care. “I enjoy the challenge of repairing wildly overgrown or poorly pruned trees,” he says, “and I continually amaze clients who never realized how beautiful their trees could look.”
Mr. Gilliam does all his own trimming, because it keeps his overhead costs low and lets him pass the savings on to his clients. He’s happy to consult with customers, make recommendations and work to completely transform their treescapes.
Best Tree Service can also diagnose and treat ailing trees and remove trees and stumps. Its crew members are easygoing and friendly, says Mr. Gilliam. They show up on time and work quickly, and take conscientious care to protect any flowers, plants and wildlife on a client’s property. The company also offers 24-hour emergency service.
