Classic City Arborists
Professional Arborists have a minimum of three years' experience in some aspect of tree care and have passed an exam developed by an international panel of experts. The exam extensively covers every aspect of tree care and the individuals must have an acceptable level of knowledge in all areas of arboriculture.

Earning an ISA Credential is a voluntary activity that demonstrates you have the knowledge and skills to properly care for trees, as well as a high level of dedication to your profession and your community. ISA Credential holders understand the importance of continued education to increase their expertise and advance their careers.

Displaying your ISA Credential helps consumers identify you as a knowledgeable, experienced tree care professional who is committed to properly caring for and maintaining their trees. Since 2014, we are a locally owned tree service company providing tree care to Clarke County and Oconee County.

Scott Rushing earned his Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Education from the University of Georgia, and has been working in the tree service industry since 2008. In 2011, Scott received his ISA Credentials, certifying his knowledge and skills to properly care for trees. In 2018, Scott obtained the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification.
Is your yard overgrown with trees? Do you have trees leaning dangerously over your home? Maybe you just want to improve your view. Whatever the reason, Classic City Arborists is here to meet your tree care needs. We have ISA-Certified arborists to help guide you in the decision-making process to ensure that you get the service you want and the trees on your property remain happy and healthy!
An estimate is an official document that includes detailed line items for each section of work to be completed and the cost associated with that specific section. During the appointment for a free estimate, the customer will have a list of items or projects that they want pricing on. This can include removing a specific tree, pruning limbs away from the home, allowing more sunlight to reach a certain area, etc.
Our newest purchase is a 72-foot Aerial Lift. This self-propelled lift has tracks on it similar to our miniature skid steer to better distribute the weight which reduces wear and tear on a yard as we drive through. The lift can fit through a 3-foot fence opening, and travel across uneven surfaces to reach trees in the far corners of a yard.
This mission ensures that the trees planted on campus are well cared for, and that more trees (and shrubs and herbaceous plants) are incorporated into the landscape as often as possible. The result of this is that the entire University campus is a beautiful museum of all that nature has to offer! Whether you're a student, faculty member, visitor, or just a passerby, the Campus Arboretum is for everyone.

Classic City Arborists did a great job! Scott and his crew were efficient and thoughtful. They even had to change some tree work during the day but kept everything within the budget estimate. We will continue to request their services with any future work we need.

I hired Classic City Arborists to remove 3 oak trees and they did a fantastic job. They gave me an estimate in a timely manner and once the work was scheduled, they showed up on time and quickly got to work. They brought the right equipment for the job. They removed the trees with minimal impact to my yard and protected my precious Japanese Maples. They also did a great job cleaning up afterwards. I will definitely use them again in the future. Highly recommended!

Knowledgeable and very honest. They could have taken me for a lot of money but told me the tree wasn't dead as I thought it was and taught me how to look for damage and decay.

Scott and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They quoted a reasonable price and put it in writing. The crew did the work as planned and were very professional about the job. They recommended a stump grinder individual who did a very good job. I will definitely use their services again.

Scott was flexible about delivery and made my firewood purchase quick and easy. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for quality hardwood to help heat their homes.

Prompt, fair price, and excellent work. Quick to get an estimate and get the work done. Open and honest communication throughout the process. Took our 12 trees and left my yard pristine.

Very thorough, detailed and honest company. They have done work for me several times and I have always been very pleased. They break down the pricing of the job with excellent detail, explain things clearly, are very honest and make sure the work is done right. I would certainly recommend Scott and Classic City Arborists to anyone.

These guys were great: professional, timely and reasonably priced. They took out some very large trees close to our home, and did it with great precision. We got several quotes and they were the best. I would recommend them to anyone, particularly if you have some trees in tricky locations. These guys know what they are doing and do it right.

Very happy with this outfit. They gave a written quote on site (and broken down by the line item), worked with me on my budget, kept me updated on scheduling, showed up on time, owner stayed on the job til done, worked efficiently, and left the place much cleaner than found. Was also very careful to not damage my lawn and beds. Very customer focused. Will use them again.
