A Long History of Reliable and Skilled Tree Care Service
Forrest Tree Service began taking shape in 1981 when Forrest McClintic started working with his close friend’s father in the tree care industry. Those early years built the foundation for how we work today. We learned that honest service, strong communication, and dependable follow-through matter as much as the technical work itself. These principles guide every job we take on across Sacramento, CA and the surrounding 75-mile radius.
With more than 43 years of experience, our team understands how local trees grow, how weather affects long-term structure, and how to plan tree care that fits the needs of homes and businesses. We are certified ISA arborists and certified tree workers who approach each project with practical knowledge and a focus on doing the job right the first time. Our customers value the consistency, clear updates, and reliable scheduling that have shaped our reputation over decades.
We provide services throughout Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Rocklin, Auburn, Granite Bay, Elk Grove, Davis, Lincoln, and nearby communities. Our work includes pruning, removals, clearance for structures, reduction services, and support after storms. We are available 24 hours a day for urgent tree concerns, and we back our service with a BBB A+ rating that reflects our long-standing commitment to quality.
Forrest Tree Service does not offer landscaping. Our focus is tree care, and every member of our team works with that purpose in mind. Whether you need pruning, clearance around buildings, reduction work, or guidance after storm damage, we are here to help with tree care shaped by decades of experience.

43+ years of experience
43+ years of experience
Our background in tree care stretches back to 1981, giving us more than four decades of practical knowledge in local tree behaviour and structural needs. We have worked with every type of property, from small residential yards to large commercial sites, learning how trees respond to pruning, removal, reduction, and storm damage. This long history helps us make informed decisions about each job, from identifying hazards to selecting the right methods for safe work. Experience also shapes the way we communicate with customers, offering clarity and straightforward guidance. Our work is built on lessons learned over many years, and we rely on those lessons to deliver safe and proper results.
Honest work done right the first time
Honesty has shaped Forrest Tree Service since the beginning. We believe that customers should always know what work is needed, why it matters, and how it will be completed. Our approach is direct and practical, focusing on safe results instead of unnecessary services. Doing the work right the first time is a cornerstone of our business. It means careful planning, attention to detail, and responsible cleanup. It also means taking time to explain what we find and what we recommend. This commitment has helped us build long-term relationships with property owners throughout Sacramento and nearby communities.
Certified tree care professionals
We hold ISA arborist certification and employ certified tree workers who understand the science behind tree structure, root behaviour, growth patterns, and proper pruning. Certification ensures that the methods we use align with industry standards and respect the long-term health of the tree. Our training covers safety procedures, rigging for removals, structural pruning techniques, and assessment of hazardous conditions. Customers rely on us because we bring both knowledge and real-world experience to every job. Whether performing minor adjustments or large-scale work, we use the correct techniques to support safer conditions and proper tree development.
Consistent communication and dependable service
Communication is central to how we work. Tree care often involves planning, multiple steps, and a clear understanding of what will happen on the property. We keep customers informed throughout the process, from initial evaluation to completion. Our team arrives when scheduled, provides clear updates, and handles every part of the job with care. This consistency has helped us earn trust throughout Sacramento and the surrounding communities. Customers appreciate knowing that we will follow through, respond quickly, and stand by our work.
Available 24/7 for emergencies
Storm damage and sudden tree failures cannot wait. We provide 24 hour service for urgent situations involving fallen trees, large limbs, or hazards near structures. Our crew responds quickly, secures the area, and begins clearing the hazard or planning the necessary work. Because of our decades of experience in emergency situations, we understand how to identify immediate risks and handle the debris safely. Customers know they can call us day or night when urgent situations threaten their home or business.
