As you can see, we have quite a few letters of recommendation. Here's more -

"Every so often I look at my backyard and am overwhelmed with the tree and brush growth. A weekend of clipping won't make a small dent. I call Nature First and within a few days they are out and the yard looks beautiful. You have the expertise and equipment to handle such a large task and do a beautiful job. I can retain my beautiful trees without fear of them falling, overshading the yard and becoming a nuisance.
Thank you for your customer service and artistic expertise!"
Joyce H., Santa Cruz (Magnolia, Eucalyptus, Plum)

"My trees are smiling they're so happy!"
Marcia Z., Santa Cruz (Maytens)

"A follow-up to my phone call this morning to tell you what an outstanding professional job your young men did trimming our palm trees. We have lived here for over thirty years and there has been countless trimmings by numerous competitors of yours. The job your men did yesterday was, by far, the best. Our neighbor had his palms trimmed at the same time and remarked what a fine job your crew did - just the way he requested they trim the trees. Needless to say, you will be the first we call when we need tree work, and I can and will highly recommend your company to others."
Paul P., Aptos (Palms)

"Just wanted to let you know that your team did a great job pruning our Japanese maples, and our large oak. The team was professional, courteous, timely, and did a great job cleaning up after the pruning."
Priscilla C., Santa Cruz (Japanese maple, oak)

"I just wanted to let you know again how pleased I am with the job your crew did at pruning and shaping my flowering pear tree. Over the past few years, I have tried two other tree services, but neither of them did the job right. I guess the third time's a charm. Thanks again and I look forward to having Nature First prune my other trees as well!"
Gigi H., Santa Cruz (Flowering pear)

"Your crew did a wonderful job. Jason was a pleasure to work with. I'll call again (and tell my friends)."
YaYa D., Soquel (Oak)

"Just a few words of thanks to Nature First. I was very pleased with the work that you did, not only the practical part of trimming and shaping the trees back off the decks and roofs, but the aesthetic part as well -- everything looks so much better. The three trees around the house are all much more graceful and shapely, a pleasure to look at. And thanks too for the courteousness of everyone involved, from beginning to end. I would certainly call on you again and recommend you to others."
Anita W., Watsonville (Ash, Acacia, Pear)

"I want to tell you what a good job you guys did on our tree. I was really worried that we would lose it after 20+ years, and was really relieved to hear that a good trimming, and fertilizer would do the trick. I haven't seen that tree so thin in years, but there is already new growth in just a few short weeks. I believe the patient is going to pull through. My wife tells me that the crew that did the work was friendly, cleaned up the trimmings, and seemed to get along with each other exceptionally well. I have recommended your business to several people I know with tree problems. I hope they do business with you - I know we will in the future. Thanks for helping our tree."
Lynn H., San Jose (Chinese elm)

"I just want to express my sincerest thanks for everything your company did for me to save my tree. As you could tell by my voice, it was the proverbial "straw" when I thought I might lose it. As you know, that area of my yard is dependent on that tree.
Jeremy is such a knowledgeable person and so professional as were the rest of his crew. I have so learned my lesson about the value of maintenance to the tree. Again, many thanks."
Sioux A., Soquel (Locust)

"Thank you for special attention to our yard. We are happy that you were able to help us save the Ash tree, which is the centerpiece of our yard. The tree provides valuable shade and protection to our property. The new shape makes the tree look healthier. Thanks to you, and to your crew, for your special care and prompt attention."
John P., San Jose (Ash, Orange, Cedar, Sycamore)

"Hey guys,
Thank you so much for the great job you did on our pine tree removals. It was a difficult access area and close to the house, and you made it seem simple, and clean. We were amazed at how fast the process was, and you left no trace of being there! Fantastic work and a great crew (Jeremy). Thanks again."
Terry L., Aptos (Pines)

"Thank you so much for a wonderful job. I will sure recommend your company to my friends and will call you in the future for any tree services."
Antoinette V., Saratoga (Liquidambar, Redwood)

"Thank you for a job well done! From your quick response for an estimate to your clean up when the job was done, your team was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. You did a great job on our trees."
Terry S., Santa Cruz (Birch, Oak)

"Many thanks for a great job thinning out our oak trees. Nate and his buddy gave 110% all the way and it was quite entertaining as well. Instead of just lopping off the tree parts, they thinned each section, leaving well-shaped trees and opening our deck to more sunlight. We will certainly use your company in the future."
Mel & Kathy B., Soquel (Oaks)

"Dear Nature First,
We just had the crew complete a several day job cleaning out our 1/3 acre backyard. While we spent many years enjoying the “wildlands” it was time to “clean the palate” and look at some more deliberate cultivation.
I can't say enough about the beautiful work Nature First did to achieve our vision. From the first experience of walking the property with Mimi to map out the plan, to the last minute of clean up from the crew, Nature First provided expert advise, expert and artfully achieved pruning and thorough brush removal. At each step of the way, the crew worked with care and an eye for detail, checking in regularly about various opportunities to keep or remove shrubs, and overall doing a fantastic job. We now look out from our deck into an amazing parkland of vigorous oaks and shrubs, ready for the next stage of cultivation. Thank you Nature First!"
Ilene & Kenny F., Santa Cruz (Oaks)

"Thank you for a great job! Your crew was very nice to work with and did an outstanding job."
Joan & Jack K., Cupertino (Birch, Pittosporum)

"We would like to thank Nature First's Jason Nama and his crew for a job well done. Jason and his crew were punctual, professional, and courteous - everything you would want to represent your fine company. We are very pleased with the tree service and would be happy to recommend the company to our friends and neighbors in the future. Please feel free to use our name as a reference for your future customers.
P.S. A special appreciation to Adam for his patience, as we had to change the work dates frequently."
Bob & Theo M., Santa Cruz (Cypress)

"Dear Mrs. Scoppettone,
This letter is to say thank you so much for a job well done! Your crews have upheld the highest standards of professionalism in how they took care of our trees and taught us how to manage our land.

Your crew was hired to remove a handful of live oaks, to limb some very tall redwood trees that were a danger to the house, and remove an approximately 115’ redwood tree that was in close proximity to the neighboring property. Each of these presented unique challenges to the crew. It was apparent that this was not a job for those without knowledge or skill because if either were lacking, the consequences would have been significant and catastrophic. As we watched the crew in the trees, we realized that we had no reason to worry. From the supervision by one of the owners of the company, to the safety of the crew and the skill of the operators, it was apparent that there was nothing to worry about.

My parent’s house presented a whole different set of challenges. The job at this site entailed removal of two huge bay laurel trees, and the deadwood removal and trimming for maintenance of almost an acre of healthy live oak. While the most impressive part of the job was watching the bay trees come down, we were most worried about the acres of live oak and the restoration of our view. Both the company owners, as well as the crew foreman, were constantly in contact with my mother or myself, allowing us input as to the work that was being done. The final result of this was a beautiful restoration of our land. This work that was done helped protect our house by reducing fire fuel loads, improved the health of the trees and reclaimed our view from our overgrown trees!

Thank you so much for the time you invested, the fair and competitive price you offered and the highest quality of work that your company provided! Please pass along to your crews that worked on these jobs our mutual sincerest thanks!"
Tillie K., Felton, Los Altos (Oaks, Redwoods, Bay)

"Please pass along my thanks to Jason and his team for coming by on Friday to re-position our brand new oak tree. It was so great to come home that evening to find that he had picked the perfect position to have the little fella facing! I really appreciated his good-natured attitude, and his being able to fit in a visit to rotate the tree during his busy work day. We LOVE our little tree. Many thanks to whomever picked it out. As always, it is really a pleasure to work with everyone at Nature First."
Louise M., Santa Cruz (Oak)

"I’d like to express my appreciation for the great job that Nate and Ryan completed for me today. They were on-time, professional, personable, and left the jobsite clean. They did a fine job of pruning and answered all my questions about my aging plum tree and gave some good recommendations for prolonging the life of the tree. I’d recommend Nature First to others."
Greg M., Santa Cruz (Plum tree)

"Dear Nature First,
Here are some pics for your bulletin board. Note the very thorough root grinding job - not a root left. Thank you."
Marlene M., Santa Cruz (Tree roots)

"I'm very happy with the excellent job that Nate and Jamie did in removing my overgrown yucca tree. They were fast, proficient, professional and took great care in making sure than none of the high branches fell down upon my house or into my adjacent neighbor's back yard. Thank you very much."
Gene G., San Jose (Yucca tree)
