Highly recommend! This arborist has a wealth of knowledge that can save your trees. I lost a 30 year burgundy maple due to root girdling. He removed the tree at a very reasonable price and didn’t leave a trace behind. He is a very responsive, prompt and efficient professional.

Mike does a great job of removing trees. He removed two of our evergreen trees at reasonable price. I highly recommend him if you have a project that needs to get done.

Urban Arborist was fabulous to work with. We had two trees that were downed by wind, one right across the driveway. It was cold, snowy, and not a great environment, but Michael was super professional, and got it cleared away. I was very impressed with his cleanup and attention to detail. Would highly recommend.

Details: Home • 2 trees • 21 - 40 feet

Michael and his work mate Scott (I think was his name) did a great job trimming my trees! They were properly insured, which I was happy about, especially since Michael was literally climbing the trees. I have a lot more sun now! — sun for my roof (to get rid of the growing mossy stuff), for my yard (maybe I’ll do a garden), and for my deck (so I can enjoy the sun without going to the nearby park). And the price was great (literally cheaper than my friend who has a tree business). Thanks, you guys!
