The owner, Bret, came to my house within just a few days of making an appointment to give me a bid. He’s a very friendly person and definitely knows everything there is about trees, shrubs, bushes, etc. Any question I had, he was able to answer immediately in terms someone who isn’t and arborists can understand. He also looked up different options for trees and shrubs that I could plant based on my property and soil while he was here and gave me a very detailed & fair quote for the job. I also received a follow up email with the quote and have scheduled their services as I have known people

Nick Goergen and his crew, from Urban Tree Specialists, just completed the huge undertaking of cutting down, trimming, removing, and cleaning up over 120 dead, diseased, and stressed trees in the Stonebridge Court Wetlands.
Nick and a dozen trained tree experts spent the better part of three full days on site. The job was so enormous that in order to avoid permanent damage to the wetlands, Nick brought in a 50-ton crane to haul away debris from downhill areas safely up to street level for removal.
Some neighbors brought coffee and donuts to Nick's crew each morning and his entire crew were professional

I am so happy to have found Urban Tree Specialists. Our hicks yews that we use as a privacy fence were looking sick. Nick came out to figure out what was going on with them. I could tell right away but he was very knowledgeable about trees and plants, and when he pulled out a magnifying glass I knew he meant business! I have never had someone care about my plants as much as Nick did. Thank you! He also evaluated some of our trees and presented us with some options for them. We look forward to working with this company from now on!

I've used Urban Tree Specialists several times in the past five years to clear dead trees, prune good trees, and to treat some ash trees for emerald ash bore. Bret Cleveland & his team do a terrific job. Totally professional & safety conscious crew. Very polite. Highly recommend Urban Tree Specialists!

We were in desperate need of some trimming for our HUGE old Oak tree in the back of the house, as well as some general pruning and clean up of other trees. After setting an appointment and meeting with Brett, I felt comfortable with them performing the work. We were communicated with through the entire process, prior to arrival to set the date, and after the job was complete to tell us everything that happened. The job was first class all the way. Couldn't even tell the work had been done they did such a good job cleaning up. The trees and yard look great now and we couldn't be happier. Thanks

Overall very satisfied with the service we received. The crew was very organized and efficient at trimming our trees. We would definitely use them again! They also have the most competitive pricing based on the other tree trimming companies we got quotes from. One con is that you have to be persistent and patient about scheduling an appointment, which is why I'm giving them four stars.

The owner came and gave us a quote when we were first thinking about trimming the trees on the property and returned a year later when we were ready to get serious. He asked us what our goals were in regards to privacy and maintenance and then discussed each tree with us before providing an estimate. We appreciated his attentiveness, patience, dedication to detail and knowledge. The work was done in one day by an extremely professional and well organized team that left the property even cleaner than they found it and left us a nice pile of firewood (at our request). They also took steps to protect

This outfit has absolutely no regard for the concept of customer service. Made appointment for tree triming based on recommendation of local garden center "Soil Service" and left high and dry after multiple appointments set and broken. Every time an appointment was set and missed and staff would advise a bigger job had come along and I was skipped as a result. Despite promises that I would receive a call back to reschedule the call never came and upon my calling back, a new appointment would be set and then skipped again. Complete failure of a basic business enterprise. Avoid at all cost
