About
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!
What an amazing crew! I was so impressed by their climbing skills and ability to remove a very large, dead tree that was in a tough spot on the property. They were prompt, efficient and cleaned up everything at the end!
Evan, Ethan, and their team were an absolute pleasure to work with- communicative, professional, careful, and efficient. We had a some tricky site conditions and they worked through them seamlessly while being ever respectful of the neighbors, etc. I could not recommend them more! These guys are great!
Staff was helpful, professional and excellent value compared to other arborists contacted. I will definately use them again!
Summit was very responsive to questions and did great work. They left the job site cleaner than when they arrived. I'll definitely use them again for any future work!
These guys were awesome to work with: professional, competitive pricing, worked quickly, flexible, etc. All around great experience. I will definitely be using them again in the future.
I have used Summit Arbortists a couple of times now. They are consistently professional with fair pricing.
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!
The team arrived a few minutes early , did a great job, and cleaned up the lawn afterward. I am very happy with the results.
Very good, professional and precise at removing trees close to my house. Cleanup was ver good also.
These guys were great pruning land reshaping a big tree in my yard. I would absolutely recommend them for any work on your trees!
Summit Arborists did a great job on my tree removal project. Large tree was brought down safely, and hauled away. I watched them perform the work: they are meticulous in every way. Also, they are very good-natured and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended!
Great customer service- Summit Arborists offer quality work at a fair price.
It all started with a passion for climbing.

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.
