Matt and his crew came to remove and trim trees from our yard. During the process we flagged some concerns that his crew had dragged heavy branches through our rose bushes, broke a sprinkler pipe, and left some branches lying around. After the work was complete, he returned without notice or permission to our property to pick a fight with us regarding our concerns. He did not come with the intention to rectify any issues and make things right but to defend himself and lecture us about how we were wrong. He said he didnt break our sprinkler pipe and it was broken already (we tested it before he arrived and it was functioning). He refused to admit his mistake although WE are the owners of this home and know our home better than he does. He said the rose bushes were fine. He said everything was clean. He essentially went one by one and gaslighted all our concerns, belittling and dismissing our complaints. Even if his actual work was okay, the fact that he returned uninvited to our property with the sole intention of undermining the issues we brought up made this entire experience very sour for us. We hope we never see this man again.

Complete Tree Care was hired by a property owner in our neighborhood, they applied to remove a monterey pine tree, instead, they removed a protected 200 foot old growth redwood tree that was an integral part of our neighborhood. I would suggest, that if you are looking for tree service that you look elsewhere and find an ethical contractor.

We had a total of 32 (!) trees that we needed to remove from our property (30 were Eugenia trees that the previous owner had planted both too close together and too close to the fence line), as well as a sickly plum and persimmon tree. I reached out to multiple companies, but Matt was the quickest to respond, the friendliest, and the most reasonably priced. On the day of the removal, his crew came in and immediately went to work bringing the trees down, grinding down the stumps, and digging them out. All 32 trees were completely removed as cleanly as possible in 6 hours. I cannot thank Matthew and his crew enough for being fast, professional, and reasonably priced!

I couldnt ask for anything more from Trumbull and his crew! From the first meeting, Trumbull took his time in explaining my options and even fitted me in a tight scedule due to potential dangers of falling branches. His crew showed up on time, and performed the job expertly and efficiently, cleaning up before they left. I will definitely be using Matthew Bowman Complete Tree the next time I need tree care.

Fast, reasonable, reliable and thorough!After many unreturned phone calls Matt came out to perform and estimate and had his crew out that afternoon. Professional from start to finish and cleanup was unbelievable.Highly recommended this outfit for any type of tree service...trimming to removal.

Have worked with Matt Bowman and Complete Tree Care for a number of years. He has cared for the trees on our property in a very professional way and I would highly highly recommend him.

A few years ago, on recommendation from our neighbors, we hired an arborist to come over to prune and clean our three large palm trees, and fix a terrible hack job inflicted on our street Ash Trees by a large, commercial company working for PGE to clear limbs for the power lines. Andrew was a lovely man, and sweet at heart, but did a lackluster job all the way around, and was difficult to get to complete the work promised. Two years later I bid out the job again to 5 companies highly recommended by friends, or Berkeley Parents Network, or both. Matthew Bowmans bid was the second cheapest, (never take the cheapest bid), he was prompt, and very understanding and eager. We hired him, he arrived the morning scheduled right on time with a large crew, and they worked feverishly all day. it was arduous work, hard on the workers, and the equipment, but they never complained. They did a beautiful job on the palms, first rate, and the Ash tree, half buried under ivy and other vines and not healthy for years, looks splendid, and has been thriving ever since. ere sure the property value went up 10% that day. Further, Matt had people from the Oakland Zoo come out to fetch the palm fronds, which were happily munched by elephant and rhinoceros that evening. I have recommended Complete Tree Care to many of my neighbors and friends since, who always report the same satisfaction.
