About

Hello my name is Brian, I am a third-generation arborist running a small owner/operator style business. It is based upon honesty, hard work, safety and reliability. I vow to uphold all International Society of Arboriculture standards first and foremost. I will always recommend what is best for the tree yet with consciousness to what the customer also would like, a balance. Each cut is made consciously making sure not to damage the tree or any targets that may be near the tree and I believe in cleaning up better than when I arrived. I serve all of San Diego county but mainly eastern and can perform any arborist service you may need. Please feel free to call or email me for a free quote. I perform consultation, tree risk assessment, removal, thinning, saftey trimming, planting, stump removal, cabling, bracing, lightning protection, fertilization, insect treatment, orchard trimming as well as plant health care. Thank you very much from my family to yours. Sincerely, Brian Lee Humble Certified Arborist and Certified Tree Worker #10314AT with the Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. (I.S.A.)

Brian Humble singlehandedly removed our 30-year-old recently problematic tree yesterday in punishing heat and brought along his stump grinder to clear the area for planting a more easily managed shrub in its place. Brian removed all tree debris from our backyard and driveway. Very reasonable pricing considering the quality of his work!

Details: Residential • 6-10 shrubs • 5-7 feet tall
