Your Local Tree Experts in Oakland, CA

“Like many in the East Bay, my lot is filled with several different varieties of trees including oaks, maples, alders, crabapples, and more.   We have had several other companies chop and trim, but no one has ever consulted with us about active management of tree health.  Within minutes of Rich’s first visit he was assisting us with how to care for our trees beyond trimming branches, including ground cover, nutrients, and more.  Rich also sets us up to review our tree management plan each year based upon the needs of our property and his team will reach out to us!   Scheduling was a breeze and Rich’s crew left our yard looking nicer than before he arrived.  Worth every cent, and Rich is passionate like we are about our trees.”

“Mathey Tree Care is by far the best arborist service in the Bay Area. We have a one-acre property with many trees that needed to be trimmed or treated for fungus and pest infection. Other arborists wanted to remove trees because they make more money that way. When I met Rich he always looked for ways to save our trees and to keep them healthy. Over the years he has preserved many of our Monterey Pines, Cedar and Camphor trees and will come periodically to check on them. He is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend his services.”

“We have used ISA Certified Rich Mathey for several years to manage our heritage Coastal Oaks, Redwood, Cypress and assorted California Buckeye trees. Rich’s experience, knowledge and care of our own ‘small piece of paradise’ within the San Mateo County Peninsula has led us to having the healthiest trees in our city. Specifically, Rich diagnosed and treated our oak trees with a fungicide which has suppressed a variant of Sudden Oak Disease that has ravaged similar trees in our region. He has formulated a healthy root feeding routine which has helped our drought stressed trees when they have been exceptionally prone to diseases. He has a talented crew who knows how to trim the canopy to enhance the feeling of the balance each tree has within the forest. We really could not recommend his company more!”

"Rich and his team are absolute pros — knowledgeable, punctual, and honest. I've called them for multiple jobs, and each time it was performed exactly as requested. They're efficient, yet thoughtful about the process; they went above and beyond to leave my yard in better shape than it was before they arrived."
