We called a number of tree companies to look at trimming the very large coastal live oak in front of our house. Dan from Ned Patchett Consulting was the only person who did more then look at the size of the tree and send us a number. He took the time to explain his thinning strategy, what signs of concern he saw with the tree, why most of those were not material, etc.He also emphasized that on the day of trimming he would first dig down around the base of the tree to check the health before starting trimming. We are glad he did that because on trimming day it became apparent that there was severe fungus and the tree was unsafe and needed to be removed.Unfortunately by the time we got a tree removal permit from our city Dan was booked up and we needed to go with another company for the removal. But based on his knowledge and the time he gave us, Dan will be our first call for future tree needs.

Ned Patchett Tree Care and Consulting is a first class, thoroughly professional and exceedingly knowledgeable organization. A neighbor recommended them. I just had them remove one tree and trim/thin 14 others including 3 very tall redwood trees. Dan and his crew worked with me from proposal through clean-up and honored my objectives down to the branch!. Their bid was very fair considering the extensive amount of work. Customer communication and service is also high touch. Do not hesitate to contact them for any tree work. You and your trees will be in very good hands.

I wanted a professional, local, family owned business to remove my dead birch tree, grind up the stump, and plant a new large tree in the same spot. Ned Patchett Tree Care fulfill all my wishes. When Dan Patchett came out to review the project, he was very concerned that the new tree would get the proper watering. He even started looking at my sprinkler system to suggest what needed to be done to fix it. At the initial meeting, Dan let me know that the Company was booked several months in advance. But he confirmed a date in the future and kept to that date. They did excellent work in a short amount of time and cleaned up everything.

Reliable, knowledgeable! I like the family feeling and the fact that father Kevin is still around for occasional consults and my layman questions like “ what kind of tree is this?” Lol… Patchett’s rock!

The New Patchett tree removal team removed a large Valley Oak tree without incident. The team was talented, professional, and efficient. No damage to the tile roof, rock wall, stone patio, landscaping, nor adjacent arbor. They were a quality and able group throughout the entire project.

Ned’s people did a great job of removing a large cherry tree from the middle of a brick patio. The tree was oversized and the root ball was damaging the existing patio. They did a great job, carefully removing the tree then spending a good deal or effort removing the root ball with their stump grinder and much hard hand effort. They did a great job and I highly recommend these professional people for tree work. They are now my “go-to” people for tree work and I am convinced they can handle the most challenging jobs. We are extremely pleased.
