Meet the Family Behind The Tree Man

What started in 1983 as one man and one truck has grown into the Salinas Valley's most trusted tree service. Dean founded The Tree Man after years working for Arbor Tree and Monterey County Public Works, bringing unmatched knowledge of local tree species and terrain.

Today, his son Brad and grandson Bixby carry on the tradition. Either Dean or Brad is on every single job, ensuring the quality and care that built this business from the ground up.

What Our Customers Say

Our reputation is built on decades of honest work and satisfied customers across Monterey County.

"Dean and Brad did an incredible job removing a massive oak that was threatening our roof. They were professional, careful with our landscaping, and left the yard cleaner than they found it. The best tree service in Salinas, hands down."
