Trees Company offers a wide range of tree care services to residential and commercial clients throughout the Bay Area. In addition to specializing in aesthetic pruning, the company can plant new trees, remove old trees, and arrange for a certified consulting arborist to provide reports and tree care management.
Owner Christopher Altman established Trees Company after spending several years as a gardener. He decided to get ISA certification and focus his expertise on tree care. “I came to understand that caring for trees is work that impacts several generations, and that really made me feel like I was doing something positive for my community,” he remembers.
Trees Company emphasizes the importance of communicating clearly with its customers throughout every step of their tree care projects, from educating them about their pruning options to offering customized consultations and guidance. “We use our in-depth knowledge to do what’s right for each particular tree,” says Mr. Altman. “Sometimes creating a better view will affect the health of a tree, so we make sure our customers have all the necessary information before we start any work. Visit our website, treescompany.net. My arborist blog contains many before and after photographs, useful information about tree health, and stories about what it’s like to be an arborist.”
“Our business approach is based on three principles: honesty, integrity and efficiency. We want our customers’ trees to maintain their health for a long time, and our services are designed to educate them on how that can be accomplished.”

When it comes to tree care, there isn’t a lot you can do yourself.
Healthy trees don’t need much care. Pruning is skilled and dangerous work that’s best left to professionals. According to Christopher Altman, owner of Trees Company in San Francisco, you don’t need to do much for established trees...
