We trim your trees the RIGHT WAY. We rope climb all trees according to ISA standards. We only use tree spikes on removals because they inflict wounds that the tree has to compartmentalize around and opens windows for disease and pathogens. Trees and shrubs trimmed into decorative shapes create a formal or whimsical atmosphere for your garden, patio or entryway.
Known as topiary, the practice of shaping trees and shrubs has a long history dating to the gardens of ancient Rome. Tree lacing and thinning selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. Thinning opens the foliage of a tree, reduces weight on heavy limbs, and helps retain the trees natural shape.
With the crown reduction, a method known as the "drop-crotch method" is used. Limbs from the top portion of the canopy of a tree are cut shorter to reduce the height of the tree, but they are only cut to the next lateral growth that is at least one-third the size of the cut that is to be made, in order to promote proper and fast healing.

I called Arbor Age to have multiple tree's removed and cut. Chris came out and gave me a great deal! He was honest on what invasive tree's I had to remove and poisoned the stumps as well. He cut down a huge pine tree for me on my side-yard that was too close to my home. All in all, Chris was very prompt, attentive, fair, and ultimately the only person I will ever call for my tree care in the future. Thanks Chris!

Christopher and his company are amazing! He was so professional, his communication is on point, and his knowledge is extremely impressive! He was very honest and thorough and he will give you his honest feedback regarding questions, the status of trees, and what he can do without damaging your home. His team showed up, took care of taking down 4 trees in our small yard, and hauled everything away (which was fantastic!). They even added wood chips to my yard- which looks super nice! His prices are super responsible and you can trust him to take care of the job that you need done!

I was very impressed with Arbor Age. Chris Templeton is efficient and professional. His estimate had a copy of his liability and worker's comp insurance attached, and those insurances are something I definitely want if people are up in trees on my property. Chris called the afternoon before the work was to be done to confirm our appointment, not too many companies do that anymore. And then the crew that came out to do the work was friendly, and extremely competent. My trees look great, they did a beautiful job. They cleaned up the debris and put the cuttings in a chipper. I was happy to keep the

If there were 6 stars, I would give them. Arbor Age Tree Service is one of the best service companies I have done business with ever. It is best to hire experts like Arbor Age Tree Service for your home - why wouldn't you hire the best? Not only the best, but with pricing extremely reasonable for this level of service, professionalism and detail. Many times you have services that aren't that great, and when the disasters happen, everyone has a bad review to write. This is exactly the opposite of one of those times. From front to back, call in, estimate, hiring and especially performance, this is

Chris came out and did a good analysis of what needed to be done, and he answered my many questions clearly. I was out of town when the work was done and came back to find my yard in good condition and, more importantly, the Chinese Elm was gone and no longer dropping its stuff all over my hot tub area. I'd use Arbor Age again if I needed this type of service again.

Christopher at Arbor Age keeps our many trees looking great and healthy. He's also a really nice guy and his crew are always polite and professionals...
2015 Update: It's been 4 years since I wrote the above review for Arbor Age and felt that Chris deserved a refreshed review for all the many years of awesome service. He also helps us with planning our landscape for max fire safety control! Thanks AGAIN!
