Johnston’s Tree Service

Specialties

Get a real arborist in your tree, call Russell today. I’m a certified arborist and I’m the person who will give you the estimate AND I’m the person who does the work, this is rare. Most companies send someone like me to talk a good game to you, get you to sign a contract and then have some semi skilled «tree workers» do the work, is that what you want to pay for? Your tree’s are an asset to your property, their living things that can be permanently damaged or killed. Hire a local company that has a certified arborist perform the pruning not some corporation with a bunch of «climbers /​chainsaw operators».

Services include:

* Tree Trimming

* Tree Pruning

* Tree Removal

* Stump grinding

History

Established in 2006.

Hi my name is Russell Johnston. I got started in the tree business in 1989 as a teenager and have worked in it almost my entire adult life. I’m lucky to have stumbled into something I enjoy and I’m good at. I’ve worked in almost every aspect of this trade in the private sector and public service. I got my contractor license in 2001 and became a certified arborist around 2002. In 2005 I quit my job with the Dept. of the Interior in SF at the Presidio National Park to start my own business (not the best time to quit a cushy govt. job, LOL!!). In 2007 I had to go to work for U.C. Davis as an arborist due to the great recession. For 5 years I worked a full time job while building my business up until this year, 2013, and now I work for myself full time. WOOHOO!

I’ve lived in Sacramento most of my life, I think it’s a great place to live. I like doing outdoor things: tubing and kayaking a favorite spot, hiking, working in my yard.
