About Us
About Us
About Empire Tree Experts
Empire Tree Experts is a family-owned, locally operated tree service based in Santa Rosa, California. Sixty years in business and over a hundred years of combined team experience have taught us a simple lesson: show up on time, bring the right equipment, do the work properly, and leave the property in better shape than you found it. That hasn’t changed across six decades, and it isn’t going to.
We’re not a franchise and we’re not a call center routing your job out to whoever picks up. When you call Empire Tree Experts, you’re talking to the people who will run the equipment, climb the tree, and stand behind the result.
We serve homeowners, commercial property owners, vineyards, and municipal clients throughout Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Sebastopol, Windsor, Kenwood, and Guerneville.
