Samsara Tree Care has been trimming our Japanese maples for four years. What a great team they have and so VERY knowledgeable. They are efficient and yet keep my trees so healthy. When they leave all that is left are gorgeous trees. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs to have their trees properly trimmed. Actually I would give them 10 stars!

Everything was good. They trimmed many large fir trees, they ground three stumps and pruned my apple tree. They cleaned up all the trimmings and there was nothing I had to do. Thanks.

Samsara's team did an excellent job trimming our very old street trees and examining our heritage tree. They understood what it takes to preserve our tree canopy for now and for years to come and graciously shared their knowledge with us. They did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards and were very professional. We highly recommend Samsara's Tree Care.

We had a fantastic experience using Samsara Tree Care for an 80 year old Magnolia Grandiflora and two Japanese Maples. Samsara’s responsive communication was on point. They spent time educating us about the tree trimming process while still being sensitive to our ultimate tree goals. This was our second year in a row using Samsara, and we enthusiastically recommend them to others. Jacob, the owner of Samsara, was hands-on throughout the tree trimming process. Our trees look great!
