I am very pleased with the work for the trees in my backyard. Arbor Patrol listened to what I asking to have done and made it look great. They cleaned up everything. The price was also reasonable. I will definitely have them back next year for front yard.

I called for a quote to trim a young tree. I’ve had large trees in the past that grow funky because they were not properly maintained/trimmed as they grew. Someone came out same day that I called for a quote. Now, I should say that I called 10 different tree companies in a 10 day period....& not 1 of them ever returned my phone calls. He looked @ my tree & told me it was still too young to trim & that it should be ready in a few years time. I was amazed by his honesty & his knowledge. He taught me what to look for & when the appropriate time is to get a tree trimmed. He made no $ off of me & could’ve charged me an arm & a leg to essentially kill my tree. Based on that experience alone I would recommend this company. It’s nice to know there are still wholesome, honest businesses still out there!

I've used Arbor Patrol for years. The owner is a highly skilled and very knowledgeable arborist. Watching as lines and pulleys were used to slowly and accurately lower huge branches from my 70 year old slash pine was an amazing and highly impressive experience. The owner truly cares about his customers and doing a good job. Reasonable pricing from someone who knows exactly what he is doing.

Watch A Video about: Why an I.S.A. Certified Arborist title may be misleading.

Why an “I.S.A. Certified Arborist” might not be as useful of a skill as you’d think. Often, tree service companies will advertise themselves as I.S.A. Certified after their Secretary, Bookkeeper, or Lead Salesman has studied and passed the I.S.A. Certified Arborist Exam. Leaving the actual handling of your trees in the hands of the untrained.
