Services
ISA certified arborists offering full-service tree care to make your vision of happy, healthy, and flourishing trees a reality. Arbor Vision, Inc. offers you peace of mind by caring for your most valuable landscape asset -- your trees. ISA-certified, licensed, and insured, we provide quality, full-service, year-round tree care to preserve the safety and the natural beauty of trees throughout East Bay.
Add new trees to enhance the beauty and value of your property while offering protection from the sun, wind, and rain. Planting trees is one way that individuals can help mitigate climate change, and that is one great reason to plant trees. However, trees also provide many other benefits for property owners.
When you need to remove a tree, you can count on experts from Arbor Vision to lower, cut, limb, uproot, and dispose of it safely. There are many reasons why you may need to remove a tree from your property. Tree rot, pests, or invasive roots being just a few of them. Once you've decided that a tree needs to go, the next step is to find someone to take care of the job.
We're local arborists to help care for your trees. We diagnose and treat issues to keep your trees healthy and well-maintained, so they can continue to add value and beauty to your property for many years to come. The oldest tree in the world is located right here in California, a bristlecone pine over 4,800 years old.
We carefully remove tree parts to beautify, increase fruit production, avoid risk and enhance the tree's growth, appearance, or functionality. Having your trees trimmed and pruned is one of the most satisfying jobs to have done on your property. Why? It seems like a simple snip of the branch here and a small cut there, but for a job that can be accomplished in a short period, the overall effect is transformative.

Arbor Vision just finished trimming a bunch of trees in our backyard and they made the entire experience super easy. Zen came out to give us an initial quote and was really helpful and knowledgeable. 5 minutes in and it was obvious that he knew what he was talking about. Zen made recommendations for trimming / fertilization and even took the time to look at a few trees that weren't part of the bid to make sure they were healthy. Zen had a fair bid over electronically in no time (which we obviously accepted).

The day of the job an Arbor Vision crew was out on time and got straight to work

Fabulous service. Showed up with full array of equipment and several staff members. Trimmed one tree a tad shorter than would have liked but my fault for getting distracted in house. Besides will grow back. Didn't leave chipper running all the time (so no noise/air pollution. And cleaned up beautifully--even putting back some big potted plants in right spot without being asked!

Mike Waller is so easy to deal with. His men are thorough fast and very professional. He knows a lot about trees not just cutting them down but how to manage them and keep them healthy. This is an arborist that cares.

I found Arbor Vision right here on Yelp. The reviews are excellent and the estimate I received was competitive. Not the least expensive, but you get what you pay for. The first team of 5 guys were on time and had the tree down quickly. Team 2 showed up shortly thereafter and ground the stump. The entire area was cleaned up like it never happened. Highly recommend these guys.

The crew from Arbor was great! They are punctual and professional. The tree trimming work they did for me was excellent. They cleaned up all of the debris and left my yard looking great. I would recommend them to anyone that needs tree care services.

We wanted to get rid of some extremely heavy branches on the neighbor's tree that could be a danger given Bay Area's crazy wind. We first got an estimate from Alex. He matched the lowest estimate we had got from elsewhere. The work date was months away since the crew was very busy at the time. But the crew showed up on time, wearing masks, clarified our expectations, and got to work. The crew was very efficient and clean. All of the heavy branches were removed and then some. We can actually see some blue sky through the trees for the first time in almost a decade.

I called to the Arbor Vision Service after the last windy weekend that produced a real disaster in my backyard. The response was very quick. The company provided a fantastic service, even exceeding my expectations. And the price was very affordable compared to other places that we requested. I greatly recommend these services and will use them myself in the future.

Michael and his team were great to work with! Pricing is very reasonable. The team worked very hard all day cleaning up trees in both my yard and the neighbor's yard. They did a fabulous job with the cleanup. Very happy and will definitely use them again in the future!

I highly recommend Arbor Vision, Inc. and Mike Waller, owner and I.S.A. Certified Arborist! Here is why: We have four redwoods that were each planted for four of our children. The trees are 40 years old and truly "part of our family!" The city was requiring us to remove one of the trees as part of a sound wall replacement project. I called Mike Waller of Arbor Vision to evaluate whether the tree would survive the root damage resulting from excavation the city was requiring. This was the beginning of a knowledgeable, dedicated and professional relationship between Mike and our redwood trees! Arbor

I had Michael come out to provide a free estimate for the tree we needed cut in our backyard. This wasn't the first estimate I had received, but Michael was noticeably knowledgeable, professional and willing to help than others I had contacted.

I decided to go with Michael and I was so glad I did. Everything was done so perfectly, exactly the way he said he would do. At the end of the day - actually the job didn't even take that long - I was left with one question only. 'Why didn't I contact this guy sooner?!?'
Thank you Michael!!

Mike has been trimming our trees for years and we always call him when we are need. His work is top notch and he has an eye for detail as well as a knack for revealing the tree's natural beauty. Our row of Italian cypress trees and our bay tree all get quite out of control and unruly and block the light to our backyard. Mike and Guillermo took care of this and we love the finished product. They always leave the place cleaner than they found it and haul away the trimmings. They trimmed trees in front too and did an equally fantastic job. We highly recommend Arbor Vision!

Had Michael and his team remove a big old pepper tree stump from behind our swimming pool. This stump had roots everywhere. They also removed 2 trees and stump ground those as well. They came when they said they would. Removed the 2 trees and ground down and removed the old pepper tree stump. They pick axed the roots by hand that were around my Jacuzzi vent since they couldn't get their machine to close without damaging it. Michael also hand picked some smaller stumps that were growing up against my retaining wall. They cleaned up and took all the tree trimmings away. I would defiantly

Mike came to SF to remove a palm tree stump
From my cramped front garden. They were prompt and cleaned up the space well. The job was tough because it was by a gas line and required a lot of manual work. Really appreciate the great work!
