Introduction

Hello my name is Brian, I am a third-generation arborist running a small owner/operator style business. It is based upon honesty, hard work, safety and reliability. I vow to uphold all International Society of Arboriculture standards first and foremost. I will always recommend what is best for the tree yet with consciousness to what the customer also would like, a balance. Each cut is made consciously making sure not to damage the tree or any targets that may be near the tree and I believe in cleaning up better than when I arrived. I serve all of San Diego county but mainly eastern and can perform any arborist service you may need. Please feel free to call or email me for a free quote. I perform consultation, tree risk assessment, removal, thinning, saftey trimming, planting, stump removal, cabling, bracing, lightning protection, fertilization, insect treatment, orchard trimming as well as plant health care. Thank you very much from my family to yours. Sincerely, Brian Lee Humble Certified Arborist and Certified Tree Worker #10314AT with the Western Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. (I.S.A.)

Brian did an excellent job grinding down a tree stump for me. He cleaned up afterward and even swept my patio! His work was so good my neighbors on either side are using his services too. I highly recommend him.

I would choose all 5 boxes if I could,. Brian gets 5 out of 5 stars!. I have used him several times and his work , professionalism, attention to detail and communication are stellar. He listens to what you want and he delivers, Does a great clean up too. And he is just a pleasant guy to work with. Brian is totally certified. You do not want people in your yard and up in your trees that are not licensed and certified. Especially these guys out there that 'do everything" You are just asking for trouble. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian and will use him again.

Brian did a wonderful job. I hired him to mulch some brush that we needed to get rid of. He communicated with me so I knew what was going on and he showed up when he said he would. I would definitely hire Brian again when I need a job done. Below are before and after.
