Michael did an outstanding job when he assessed what my needs would be for my maple tree. And then he came back performed the services of pruning my very large overgrowing maple.

First time contracting Urban Arborist. They were timely, responsive, flexible, knowledgeable, and hard working! They even accommodated my extra request to leave and chop up the wood. Great value for the work done. I don’t see any reason why I’d hire someone else in the future!

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!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I will waive a $30/ tree fee for consulting if you hire me. I am happy to work under a budget if needed.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Meeting face to face is preferred as much of tree work is not easily described without seeing it. Also, meeting helps build confidence and a long-term relationship with clients
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
4 year degree in Forestry. Non-profit work with a municipality. Field training summer camp. Plant Health Care Tech and Foreman. I have worked for 2 large corporate companies (SavATree & Bartlett Tree Experts) with each having week long training seminars. Also many large tree felling jobs in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. 8+ years work experience and 5 years as a certified Arborist.
