I messaged them through their website, asking for an estimate to help our ailing, large tree. Evan came to our house within a few hours, and gave us recommendations for what we could do and a number for another company that could handle our insect problem. He seemed very friendly and knowledgeable, and happy to help even though it was only a free estimate. Thanks, Evan!

We had six big Aspens that needed to get removed and one smaller tree to be replaced - from beginning to end, Ethan and Evan were amazing to work with. They were knowledgable, kind and professional and left our site spotless clean after the big tree removal. When planting our new tree, they didn't just plant it, they made sure to prep the roots and make sure the tree is set up for long-term success. We'll definitely work with them again for our pruning needs and would highly recommend to friends and family. Thank you for taking care of our trees!

They did a great job taking out our tree and grinding the stump. The stump was a tough job - there was an electrical box VERY close by. They handled getting the lines marked and carefully removed what could safely be removed. We'll definitely use them again!

I cannot say enough great things about Summit Arborists. Super responsive! Came out and gave bid quickly. Followed up and got me on the schedule promptly and showed up on time and worked super hard on our job. I had lots of tree work that required both cutting, shaping and some root excavation on several trees. Super knowledgeable! They were so professional and I could not recommend more. A++++. Don’t hesitate. Just call Ethan and Evan!

We recently used Summit Arborists to remove many dead trees on our property. This was part of our neighborhoods Fire Mitigation Program and it had a deadline that was rapidly approaching. We called Summit Arborist and they were able to fit us in the following week. They stuck to their bid with every intention of coming in lower than expected, they showed up on time, and worked long full days. They were very good with communication and even handled the sign off of the Fire Mitigation Process with our HOA. Long story short....super kind brothers and we will definitely use them each year!

I recently hired Summit Arborists to prune several large trees on my property, and I could not have been more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, the team at Summit Arborists was professional, knowledgeable and respectful of my property. First and foremost, their work was exceptional. They carefully assessed the health and structure of one big tree in the backyard that supplies a great deal of shade in the summer before making any cuts, and they used state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure that the pruning was done safely and effectively. The end result was a sad overgrown tree that now looks healthier, more vibrant, and more beautiful than ever before. Beyond their technical expertise, the team at Summit Arborists was also a pleasure to work with. They were always on time, communicative, and very respectful of my property. They went out of their way to make sure that I was happy with the work they were doing, and they took the time to answer all of my questions and explain their process in detail. Overall, I would highly recommend Summit Arborists to anyone in need of tree services. Their work is top-notch, their customer service is excellent, and their prices are very reasonable. I am so grateful to have found such a reliable and trustworthy company to care for my trees, and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you, Summit Arborists, for your outstanding work!

Ethan and his partner provided an accurate estimate of the tree trimming job, were timely and professional. They took care to avoid the water feature, power lines etc. They removed all the deadwood and the tree looks great. The clean up job was superb; my yard looks better than before they arrived! Highly recommend!

These guys are pros. Showed up on time and got the job done quickly and cleanly. Educated me on what needed to be done for the future health of my trees. Went above and beyond, taking some deadwood off an ornamental cherry, and offered to come back in the fall to finish a full prune of an apple tree when the tree won’t be so stressed. Explained why they did what they did and offered advice on what to do in the future. Communication was great, trees look even better. I’d give em 6 stars if I could. Thank you guys.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Our comprehensive services encompass tree care, preservation, removal, and emergency response, ensuring the health, safety, and beauty of your property’s trees

How often should I have my trees professionally pruned?
The frequency of tree pruning depends on the tree species, its age, and its overall health. In general, most trees benefit from pruning every 2-3 years. However, it’s best to consult with our arborists for personalized recommendations based on your specific trees.
What signs indicate that a tree may be diseased or in need of removal?
Signs of a diseased or dying tree include dead branches, extensive leaf loss, fungal growth, bark damage, and a noticeable decline in overall health. Our arborists can assess your tree’s condition and recommend appropriate action.
Do you offer emergency tree removal services, and how quickly can you respond?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency tree removal services. Our rapid response team is trained to address urgent situations promptly. Response times may vary depending on your location and the severity of the emergency, but we prioritize safety and efficiency.
What is the best time of year to schedule deep root fertilization for my trees?
Deep root fertilization is typically most effective when done in the fall or early spring. During these seasons, trees are preparing for growth or recovery, and the roots can absorb nutrients more efficiently. Our experts can determine the ideal timing based on your tree’s specific needs.
How long will my project take?
The duration of your project is variable. Typically, most jobs are completed within a day, although there are instances where certain projects may require up to two days for completion. The specific timeline will depend on the complexity and scope of your project.
