I have a very tall oak whose branches were reaching my deck. They badly needed to be trimmed. Ascend Tree Service came this afternoon and did a great job removing them. Blake is very professional and personable. He gave me a very fair flat fee. Blake checked the health of my other tree as well and had suggestions for me. He and his crew cleaned everything up afterwards even removing a collection of dead branches I had accumulated after various storms. I can recommend him 100%! Thank you, Blake!

Blake seems like a very upbeat honest person. He gave me an intial quote a few weeks back and I had to wait to do the job. The day I confirmed it with him, he took care of the job! It was great timing for all. Since I wasn't home, he sent photos of the process and outcome. I am super happy and wish I could have added on some of the upsells he offered me for some of my other trees. I will definitely call him back again for remaining tree jobs. Among other things he completely removed a tree for us.

Blake came out a few hours after I contacted him and gave me a great quote for the work. Two days later they were at my home and took care of everything efficiently and professionally. The crew got the job done and cleaned up the site very well. Next time I need tree work done, I’ll be hiring Ascend.

Blake and his team did an excellent job removing this tree from our backyard. The tree was close to the fence but they handled everything safely and professionally with zero damage. Cleanup was spotless and the yard looks completely transformed. Highly recommend !

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There are so many factors. Each job is different and will have to be looked at. Certain things such as; is there a fence, power lines, shed, roof, swimming pool, etc in the way needing the limb/s or tree to be rigged down adding many more hours and difficulties. However, there is nothing we can’t handle and haven’t accomplished doing before.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Building great rapport is important. Explaining the process and understanding what the customer is looking to have done with a thorough understanding. Keeping the customer a part of the process will be made, as progress is moving along.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I had always had a passion for learning and growing, being outside, and athletic. I had gone through intensive military training that required us to use ropes and trust our equipment. Shortly after I was in search of a job. I met a guy who owned an arborist company through a mutual friend. I started as a groundsman then quickly became a climber, foreman, to running the company. I moved to a larger company and ran than as well 2 years later. I gained much experience and decided to take a leap of faith or ‘go out on a limb’ and start my own company. I haven’t looked back sense.
