Alpine Arborist

Spencer artistically pruned our 27 year old front yard messy Linden into a wonderfully shaped tree. Work done on time, on budget and full clean up. Strongly recommend Spener and Alpine Arborist.

We spoke to Spencer on Monday early evening about at least one third of our Willow Tree that had broken off and was leaning on our fence and into our neighbours backyard. He came first thing Tuesday morning and removed the broken branches, and did a wonderful job at cleaning up the surrounding debris and even fluffing up our neighbours grass and ensuring that her bushes at the site were all in tact. He also took great care in salvaging our fence as best as possible. He was kind, thorough, very cost conscious, and extremely personable. We would recommend him to anyone and would use him again if needed!!

Spencer was impressive from the get-go. (The mystical answer to how he knew we had three dying, 60-foot tall Scots pines in our back yard remains in the cosmos.) Weeks before we met, he (or someone) had left his over-sized business card dangling from our front door knob.
Details: I called him one morning; he gave me a cost quote at lunchtime that day; we got more quotes, all in the same range (I'm in the wrong business!), but Spencer's follow-up sold us on him. He and his two-man crew arrived three days later.
Spencer scaled the first tree (how could anybody be that comfortable with a chain saw sixty feet up?), had it down to the ground and systematically ready for the chipper in about an hour, and they were all having fun as the remnants were hauled through our gate to the driveway. Our tight working area (the property-line fence, rock garden, smaller trees, shrubs, and flowers) posed challenges, but those "obstacles" didn't hinder their performance even slightly. They respected our environment, left the property damage-free, and clean-up was thorough, right to the street. We were very happy with the results, need I say, and would recommend Spencer (and his crew) without reservation.

I had an ash tree in my yard that was dying due to ash borers and required removal before any damage to my home of property occurred. I had Spencer of Alpine Arborist come to perform the removal. He removed all limbs utilizing a chipper, cut and stacked all of the larger pieces for me since I have a fireplace and left the property neat and clean! See photo of finished wood pile!
