Hummingbird Tree Service

I can’t say enough about Hummingbird. David treats new customers like longtime ones, deserving of extra kindnesses and discounts. I was bewildered about how to restrain my overgrown trees, which were blocking one neighbor’s view and banging against another’s house, and David minimized the bill while taking care of my neighbors’ needs and the health of the trees. I would use Hummingbird again and recommend them in a hot second.

Dave and his crew are amazing such an affordable price. He came on time as mentioned he was very easy to communicate with. So blessed to gave met this amazing arborist.

David and team did a fantastic, professional, and clean job in pruning and removing the trees on our property. It was apparent that David knew Dendrology (the study of trees) extremely well and how to best take care of trees. He would suggest how to improve the care of the trees, and did not charge extra for doing so, even if it meant additional work for his team.
In comparison to other estimates that we received, David’s was very fair and affordable.
The crew cleaned up everything after they left, and they also did a great job of placing cones to prevent any damage to cars parked nearby. They were also very courteous of our neighbors.
We highly recommend Hummingbird Tree Service and plan to hire them annually to manage the trees on our property.

First off, they are not landscapers. They are not gardeners. Unreliable, messy work, NOT BONDED and overpriced. They were late or didn’t show up for appointments. When they did show, they did such a messy job I had to call a real gardener to fix everything and clean up the mess they left. Save yourself and find more reliable people.

I hired Hummingbird to cut down 8 or 9 trees on my very steep lot. They did a great job, Very organized and cheerful crew. They worked with precision and got the job finished on time. I hired them a second time to trim a number of other trees on my lot and they did a good job of that as well. Additionally, they cut the downed trees into 22 inch cords so the neighbors could use the cords for firewood.

I had a 70 foot Cypress pruned and several huge branches removed at my residence. Dave has done several jobs in the neighborhood.
One good thing is that he is reliable. He arrives when he schedules ! Can’t say that about other services… some just don’t call back …
His crew was excellent. It was a tricky job close to the street and two houses. No problems. They have the equipment to control limb drops and shred limbs.
His climber did excellent work and cleaned the entire tree. I was amazed with all the work that was performed for the negotiated flat fee. I did not expect so much at all. The climber gets into the mode and does great work. Very detailed.
I ended up having him remove a separate pine tree and cut limbs from another Cypress.
They are considerate and conscientious about their tree work.
Tree work is fraught with variables that can go sour.
Nothing is perfect but they do their best to do it right.
I am very satisfied and he prices very reasonably.
They are definitely my no. 1 tree service now.
Thanks.

They handled my mulch delivery — and were GREAT. They came by to see the space and set up the drop off — were professional and on time.
Then when they delivered the mulch their guy helped me sort out some pure wood and move it from my drive way — very courteous — beyond the call service.
If we ever need tree service (i.e. removal or trimming) I will call these guys — in looking for mulch I must have talked to and dealt with over 10 tree services in the city and Marin — and far and away Hummingbird was the most professional in their customer service (and I wasn’t paying — this is a FREE service — the mulch delivery) — HIGHLY recommend them.

Great work!
I called a bunch of arborists to trim my front yard tree. Dave was very knowledgeable about my type of tree, professional, friendly, and had the best price of the 10 arborists I reached for quotes.
He and his team trimmed and pruned my tree beautifully (even down to removing loose tree bark to make the tree healthier)! They arrived on time and cleaned up everything afterwards.
Highly recommended!

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! They lie about being licensed/​bonded.
We hired them with the impression that they were licensed/​bonded Every single time they were asked to prove that they were licensed/​bonded (as they still claim), they used evasive answers (verbally and in writing) and totally ignored the questions.
So, I went to the International Society of Arbor culture’s (ISA) website and typed in their information. Guess what? No record of them!
I then emailed the ISA to check again, and they said that there is no company/​person with this company’s name and owners name that has credentials.
Yes, they may do good work. BUT WATCH OUT FOR THESE LIARS!

BEWARE!!! I have my Pines Trees cut in my backyard in San Bruno and David and his crews did not finish the job. He took my money. David, the owner will sweet talk you about he needs the money now to pay for his crews. I advise you not to use him and please check his license Contractors State License Board at
for complains.

I parked my car in Pacific Heights down the street from my job. I walked to my car to move it and found a couple of guys cutting branches all around my car. My car was not covered and it had branches all over it. It was all messed up with sap and branches. I called the owner, David and he offered to pay for a car wash. We called him several times and he has not paid-​of course.

Hummingbird Tree Service is really great. Their estimate was very affordable, the crew very efficient and on time, David (the owner) is a really great guy that answers your questions and lets you know what he is doing.
They showed up on time, did a great job, thoroughly cleaned up after themselves (KUDOS!) and did exactly what I paid them to do.
Seriously — the estimate was very, very affordable and the work was very, very high quality.
