A branch the size of a tree took out 14 feet of fence in my backyard in San Francisco. I was lost. Murph, Pat, was recommended to me. I knew him from a local establishment where I am fortunate to be a welcome customer. He swept in immediately and chopped the branch(tree) into usable kindling that I use to this day. He brought in expert craftsmen, with no referral fee or extra money requested to replace a section of fence that to this day looks as though no accident ever happened. He also referred me to a local arborist who confirmed all of the next steps with the tree still standing. There are branches remaining that could take out parts of my home, or my neighbors home, and decisions had to be made. Murph wanted a second opinion, and the arborist mirrored exactly what he thought, The bill was too fair. He would not accept more. I still feel guilty. Pat Murphy is skilled, and has integrity. If you need service on your tree, advice on how to maintain, care for, or treat your tree, there is no one better.
