What Our Sonoma County Clients Say
Stellar Service from Brown's Logging and Tree Service. Noah and his team were outstanding—extremely professional, precise, and efficient. They safely removed several trees that were threatening nearby structures and powerlines, all in a very tight work area. They operated with expert precision, hauled away all logs, and provided a fair quote. Highly recommend!
Kristine K. • Sonoma County
Noah and his crew came highly recommended and now I know why. I had several large trees threatening my home and other infrastructure. He and his crew gave us a very fair price and delivered exactly what was promised. They avoided damaging fences and non-targeted trees. It was amazing to watch. I couldn't recommend them any higher. They are the best!
Timothy D. • Sebastopol
Just book these guys. They do amazing work, run a safe job site, and leave it cleaner than they found it. They have the equipment to handle just about any job, finishing the work properly without leaving problems behind. The value for the dollar is clear. We've used Brown's twice now for removals and trimming. When we need work done again, we're calling them first.

Common Questions About Tree Removal
What factors determine the cost of tree removal?
Pricing is based on several factors, including the tree's height and diameter, its physical condition, and its proximity to structures or power lines. Accessibility and whether you'd like us to include stump grinding or debris hauling also impact the final quote.
Do I need a permit were I to remove a tree in Sonoma County?
In Sonoma County, permit requirements vary depending on the tree species, size, and location (such as Heritage or Landmark trees). We are familiar with local ordinances and can help determine if a permit is required for your specific project.
How should I prepare my property before the crew arrives?
It’s helpful to clear the area around the base of the tree of any vehicles, movable furniture, or ornaments. Also, please ensure pets are kept indoors. Our team handles all specialized safety flagging and equipment setup once we arrive.
Do I need to be home during the tree removal?
You do not need to be present as long as we have clear access to the tree and have discussed any specific property requirements beforehand. We provide updates via phone or text to keep you informed of our progress.
What happens to all the wood and debris?
We offer full cleanup options. Smaller branches are usually chipped on-site. For the larger wood, we can haul it away or buck it into firewood rounds for you to keep—whatever works best for your land.
Are you licensed and insured for this work?
Absolutely. Brown's Logging and Tree Service Inc. is fully licensed and insured. We prioritize safety and carry high-limit liability and workers' compensation coverage for every job.
