About All Tree Service
All Tree Service, Inc. is a tree care contractor based in Santa Rosa, California, working across Sonoma County. Robert Vasquez founded the company in 1998 and still walks every property before a price is written.
How did All Tree Service start?
Robert Vasquez started it in Santa Rosa in 1998 with a chipper, a climbing saddle and a pickup, after 6 years climbing for other outfits around Sonoma County. The first crew was 2 people, and the founding habit was to walk a property before quoting rather than price from a photograph.
I had spent six years climbing for other companies around Sonoma County, and I had watched too many jobs quoted off a photograph and cut without a plan. The pattern was always the same: a number agreed at the kerb, a crew that found something different when they got up there, and a conversation about money halfway through the day.
So I built the company on the opposite habit. Walk the property. Look at the root flare and the stem before the crown, because the failures that matter start low. Write the specification down. Hold the price. That is not a marketing position, it is the only way I found to stop arguing with people who were already having a bad week.
The 2017 Tubbs Fire changed the work more than anything before or since. For the best part of two years the calendar was fire-damaged conifers standing over rebuild sites in Coffey Park and Fountaingrove. Defensible space stopped being a specialist question and became the thing every second caller asked about first.

Robert Vasquez, owner and lead arborist
Robert runs the assessments, specifies the pruning, and signs the arborist reports that accompany permit applications in Santa Rosa, Windsor and Sebastopol. He is on site for the difficult removals and for anything involving a crane pick over a structure.
What is All Tree Service licensed to do?
Tree work in California is performed under the D-49 Tree Service classification issued by the Contractors State License Board. The licence covers pruning, removal and stump work. All Tree Service publishes the licence number in the footer of every page beside a link to the public register.

Check it. A licence number on a website is a claim, and the register is the evidence. The lookup returns the status, the classifications held, the bond and the workers compensation record, and it takes about a minute.
What the ISA Certified Arborist credential requires
The International Society of Arboriculture requires 3 years of full-time arboriculture experience and a written examination before it issues the credential, and continuing education to keep it. All Tree Service names a credential on this site only where the holder appears on the issuing body's public register.

What has the company actually done?
Removals, reductions and storm work across Sonoma County since 1998. Three jobs below give the shape of it: a 38-tree fire-rebuild clearance, a heritage oak reduced by 14 feet over a garage, and a Coffey Park storm callout cleared 4 hours after the telephone rang.
Case studies are worth what the figures behind them are worth. Each of the three below is a single job, and the before and after are the same measure taken on the same property.
Three jobs, with the figures
| Project | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Fountaingrove fire-rebuild lot clearance | 38 dead and fire-damaged conifers standing over a rebuild site | 0 standing hazards and 100 feet of compliant defensible space |
| Bennett Valley heritage oak reduction | Crown spread of 62 feet overhanging a garage roof | Crown spread reduced to 48 feet, 22 percent of live foliage removed |
| Coffey Park storm callout | 1 mature liquidambar across a driveway and service drop at 02:00 | Driveway reopened and service drop cleared within 4 hours |
What will the company not do?
Top a tree, price work over the telephone, take a deposit to produce a quote, or claim a credential nobody can verify on a register. All Tree Service also refers primary conductor work in Santa Rosa to the utility, because line clearance needs a qualified crew rather than a willing one.
- No topping. A crown cut back to stubs regrows weakly attached shoots and decays inward from every stub.
- No telephone pricing. A figure agreed without seeing the root flare is a figure that will change.
- No deposit for an estimate. The assessment is free and the scope is yours whether you book or not.
- No claimed credential without a public register entry behind it.
- No approach to any conductor without utility confirmation, energised or assumed dead.
Community and industry involvement
All Tree Service holds no current industry association memberships, manufacturer partnerships or community sponsorships. Rather than list affiliations the company does not hold, this page says so plainly. Anything added later will carry a link to the organisation's own directory entry.

Insurance and bonding
Carrier: PENDING-CLIENT-CONFIRMATION. Policy type: General liability and workers' compensation. Coverage: PENDING-CLIENT-CONFIRMATION. A current certificate of insurance is provided on request before any crew starts work, and the figures above are confirmed with the customer at that point.

Memberships, partnerships and community
All Tree Service holds no current industry association membership, manufacturer partnership, community sponsorship or industry award. Listing affiliations a company does not hold is a claim rather than a credential, so this page records the absence instead.
The guarantee All Tree Service stands behind
All pruning is performed to ANSI A300 Part 1 and all work to ANSI Z133. If a cut we made does not meet that specification we will return and correct it at no charge within 12 months. Quoted prices are fixed: the figure on the written scope is the figure invoiced unless you ask for additional work in writing.
