Venable'S Tree Service

Venable's Tree Service runs tree work out of Bakersfield and covers arborist jobs plus logging contractor tasks across Kern County. The company lists tree removal, trimming and thinning among its main services and states it builds removal plans around each property's needs. Calls go to their Brimhall Road location for quotes on these jobs.

Homeowners reach out after wind storms drop limbs or when bushes and fruit trees need attention. Jeremiah handled an overgrown bush plus two extra trees at lower cost than other quotes. Crews trim large trees and palms, prune dead branches from fruit trees to boost growth, and clean up after storm damage. Some customers report crews left twigs and branches behind or damaged plants while working, while others note the trees came out shaped right and the yard looked better afterward.

Response times run quick on storm calls and quotes often land at fair prices. Monica takes phone calls to set appointments and crews finish jobs the same day in many cases. Work stays within Bakersfield and nearby spots in Kern County with payment handled over the phone on smaller jobs. Reviewers mention solid communication from the first call through cleanup and prices that beat other bids on bushes or multiple trees.

The Google rating sits at four stars though the count shows zero reviews listed there. Common points in customer notes cover value on trimming and removal work, fast handling of broken limbs, and occasional issues with mess or plant damage left behind.

“A few months ago they were trimming all the trees in Rio bravo, when they got to the ones behind our house one of the trees they were cutting fell into our yard and broke some of our lights and had fallen on top of our boysenberry bush resulting in it dying. To get the tree out the workers were jumping in and out of our yard. They had moved some of our planters and pots into the actual golf course, which they left after getting the tree out. There was a huge mess left for us to clean up of twigs branches and leaves all over our yard. There was no apology or “our mistake” I had reached out to the owners of Rio bravo and they said they would reach out to them but of course nothing ever came about. The tree they cut that fell into our yard is dead also. I’m shocked by how unprofessional the whole situation was. I definitely would look elsewhere if you don’t want damage to your property.”

“Woke up this morning to half of my tree being took out during a recent rain /wind storm. I heard someone in my neighborhood having some tree work done so I researched the company who was there and gave Venables Tree Services a call, They came quickly and gave a fair quote to remove the broken limbs and get the yard cleaned up . I'm super happy with their services, friendliness and prices . I would highly recommend them and will be using them again”

“We recently posted about needing help with an overgrown bush in our backyard and received several quotes, some as high as $500 just for that shrub! Then Jeremiah reached out with a very fair quote. Not only did he expertly handle the bush, but he also took care of two additional trees at a fraction of the cost others quoted for just the one job. His professionalism and value are unmatched. We highly recommend Jeremiah and his company! Thank you, Jeremiah, for the fantastic work!”

“We appreciate Venables for a good job well done! Monica who helped me over the phone & all the crew who came here to trim our trees were awesome! 🙏”

“Having a fruit tree in our backyard, we knew the importance of proper pruning to maximize its health and yield. We reached out to a professional fruit tree pruning service, and they did an outstanding job. The knowledgeable arborists skillfully pruned our tree, removing dead branches and shaping it to encourage optimal growth and fruit production. We now enjoy a bountiful harvest and a beautifully shaped fruit tree.”

“My experience with this company was barely acceptable, first they didn't come the day I had an appointment and I had to call them to find this out, then they arrive on my second scheduled appt., trimmed 3 trees 2 of which were quite large and left all the branches on the plants in my yard below for their clean-up guys to come and clear supposedly within the hour, they came 4 hours later. I had expressed my concern about the delay as I didn't want my bushes to be damaged, I was told not to worry that they, the bushes, would be fine....NOT!! There were several flattened bushes and the tree branches mutilated my rose tree! And one last thing, their clean-up was a joke, branches left in my plants, on the ground and in my planter. There was no sweeping or blowing either.....I called to complain but Shawn was never able to get back to me! Needless to say, I won't be back next year!!!!!”

“Took them a few days to call back and the ballpark estimate they provided was pretty high. Didn't use them. I've seen their work at other homes and they seem to do a decent job. Although they left one yard pretty messy after trimming the trees there.”

“We recently used Venables due wind storm damage to trees. Responsive, professional and quality service, in addition to reasonable prices. Highly recommended for all tree service needs.”

“Great quick service and affordable as well. Had 4 huge palms times for $200 and was able to complete everything over the phone including estimate, appointment and payment.. great job all around”

“Excellent job trimming 4 large trees at a great price. Great communication from first start to finish.”

“These guys lounged in my yard playing on their phones for 45 minutes and when they finally decided to work they left a massive mess. They stepped on two plants in the process. Will never use these guys again.”

“Great Service...We are very happy!! Did a beautiful job....”
