Hear What Our Clients Have To Say:

Wonderful quality work done by Josh and his team. I would solidly recommend them to any who require the services of a professional, knowledgeable and courteous arborist. Great high angle work and safety focus. Solid dependable company with super employees.
Leona P.

Josh has been caring for my trees for more than two years now and doing a fantastic job. He has expertly handled big felling jobs as we cleared to build and given a lot of solid advice on species, planting and management of danger trees. We wanted to minimize what we removed in order to maintain as much of the character of the land as possible and the Coastal Arborist has been attentive to that objective. They are prompt, efficient and cost-effective. Highly recommended.
Tom G.

I selected the Coastal Arborist based the company’s willingness to establish a plan for our senior citizen complex with many small cottages spread out over 3 or so acres. At the time, I was the board representative responsible for grounds and knew the difficulty of pleasing all the residents. Josh and his crew’s ability to work fast, to clean up the mess, to be pleasant, to work safely in tight situations and to show up as promised, has made the Coastal Arborist our go to tree service, as well as my personal choice. I wholeheartedly recommend this company.
