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.)

Nice guy, easy to work with and he was a good sport with my son who wanted to watch everything. He also let me ask questions about the trees I was planning to plant after the shrub removal, which was very nice.

Details: Residential • 6-10 shrubs • Less than 4 feet tall

Hired on Thumbtack

I’ve hired many “pros” on Thumbtack, Yelp, Task-rabbit and it can certainly be hit or miss. Brian is exactly the kind of professional you hope to hire through these platforms. After working with Brian, it was evident that he knows his craft and takes pride in seeing a job through to the end. We had four large trees that needed to be planted on our steep, rocky hillside. Brian was quick to give us a very competitive quote. His response times and communication were prompt and clear. He was consistent and patient as we took time to form a game plan due to our personal schedules and choosing trees. Brian showed up prepared for the job and listened as we explained our “vision”. He started working immediately. He took extra care to show us how he properly plants the trees and explained the after-care regime to ensure they would be healthy. The result was exactly as we envisioned it and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you Brian!

Details: 5 trees • 5 - 10 feet • Pine • Back yard • Yes, I will purchase and provide the trees • This is a one-time project • Residential

Brian is incredibly efficient. Very responsive and right on time. I live in a townhouse with a tight backyard and wanted my palm tree partially chopped down so that it could be carved into a tiki later. I couldn't believe how fast he got it down and all the debris hauled off. All while being mindful of the fences just a few feet away and my plants down below. I don't have any more trees but I was happy to refer him to my neighbor and my parents.

Details: Tree trimming • 1 tree • 11 - 20 feet • Haul away • Backyard • Multi-unit building

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.
